Zhulat is a small mountain village that offers a truly authentic Albanian experience — you’ll likely be the only tourists or foreigners there. It’s hard to put into words what we experienced in the home of Fatmir and Fjona. If you’re seeking the real Albania, far from tourist resorts, this is the place for you. Here, you’ll encounter true Albanian hospitality. The house has belonged to Fatmir’s family for generations — their son is the 10th generation to live here. It’s a traditional stone house with a beautiful garden, full of history and decorated in authentic Albanian style. Each morning, Fjona prepares a rich and delicious breakfast made from local and homegrown ingredients. The garden is simply stunning — and much of what you eat comes directly from it. We were invited to a traditional Albanian dinner prepared by Fjona — homemade and full of local flavors. The next day, they even welcomed us for a delicious lunch. Staying here wasn’t just about accommodation — it was about connection, and a deep experience of real Albanian life. The place is calm and quiet, surrounded by mountains, with a refreshing river nearby. Gjirokastër is only about 30 minutes away. Fatmir and Fjona are warm, welcoming, and truly kind hosts. When we return to Albania, we will definitely come back to this place.

This spot is incredible. The rooms felt modern and had everything we needed for a short stay. The staff was very friendly. We had lunch and breakfast here and very much enjoyed ourselves. We were even sad we didn't have our dinner there too. The location initially seemed far from the castle and old town but there is a shortcut. It is a steep 8mins walk to get to the castle but doable.

If it were possible, I would give it a 20. Room 106, clean, bed too comfortable for a 35cm yogi, plus a mattress topper, modern bathroom. Maradona is for 10, free pick-up and drop-off, always smiling. Delicious breakfast on time.

Hotel Gjirokastër is located 300 metres from the centre, in a part of town famous for numerous museums.

Beautiful building 200 years old, dating back to the Ottoman era. Its a family-run hotel and the hosts are simply wonderful—warm, kind, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to help their guests with everything, and you can really feel that it comes from the heart. The rooms are spotless, smell amazing, and the bathrooms are well-equipped and thoughtfully designed.

Well, this might be one of the best places I have stayed in recent years. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the old town. Breakfast was delicious and served at the Brunchotek on the first floor of the building. The facilities and the room were brand new and very stylish. Overall, a superb place that I would gladly visit again.

I had a wonderful stay in Gjirokaster! The hotel itself is nestled in a 300-year-old building, adding so much character and charm to the experience. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, taking the time to share fascinating details about the rich history of the building and the area. Her warmth and insights made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive deeper into Gjirokaster's heritage.
