    Friendly staff, great location, simple, clean, has everything you need! I would recommend it to anyone staying a night or two in Gjirokaster. Parking at the modern covered car park nearby was perfect, just 5 seconds from the hotel door.

    Right on the edge of the old town. Spacious rooms. Good air conditioning. Very helpful staff. Read the directions message they send as Google maps is not accurate! Would stay here again

    Three generations of lovely ladies run this beautiful, traditional Hotel in Gjirokaster. They were the perfect hosts. The location is perfect, just steps away from the heart of the town and in a lovely tranquil location. The family room was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.

    The owner was incredibly attentive. For example, he hurried upstairs when he heard us trying to bring our cases down and then took them all the way to the car park for us.

    We had an excellent stay. A very warm welcome from the staff and owner. The hotel is in an excellent location in the heart of the old bizar. Beautifully restored to its original condition.The view of the mountains from our room was stunning. Parking was next to the hotel. We had a peaceful and comfortable nights sleep. The shower was powerful and included shower gel, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. We loved everything about Gjirokester and so glad we came while on a road trip in Albania. I would definitely recommend Kastro Hotel and would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Everything was just perfect. The only regret we had was not staying a bit longer both at the hotel and in Gjirokaster.

    Wonderful little establishment, right in the middle of beautiful Gjirokaster. We enjoyed our short stay there very much. The room was super clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom too. In the morning a buffet breakfast of a very good variety was offered with outside seating on a very nice terrace. And to top it all, the hosts and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. A clear 10/10 from us.

    The breakfast was poor. For a 4 star hotel the hotel should provide a better service.

    The location was excellent. Also the staff was very polite and the mood very familiar.

    One suggestion we can make is to have more tables and chairs on the terrace for the breakfast time.

    Everything was perfect, the rooms, the reception, the location of the hotel. We only spent one night in the hotel, but it was a pleasant experience all the same.

    Clean, modern, luxurious rooms with excellent aircon and WiFi. Delicious breakfast with continental and Albanian options. This is in a perfect location next to the bazaar and with easy access and parking. The owners of the hotel were amazing, they welcomed our family, and helped us when we had an accident. I would visit Albania again just to stay with Hotel Kastro. I can't recommend highly enough.
