The breakfast was just OK, and when things ran out, that seemed to be it! The reception lady was friendly but the other staff around the restaurant were indifferent.

Amazing views, including from the room Historic decoration - carved wooden ceiling in bedroom Large fridge in room Air conditioning Bed was an adjustable one with a very good mattress Right in the centre of the bazaar in gjirokastra - couldn't get a better location

The rooms could do with a bit of modernisation.

Great location!! the staff were very friendly and thank you to Kela, the receptionist who went out of her way to look after us. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was good! Great hotel in the area and perfectly located!

There’s not much to dislike, except that we got a bit lost navigating the cobbled steeply inclined streets while looking for the hotel — though that was on me, as I missed the detailed directions provided in the welcome message

The location is ideal, situated right next to the Gjirokastër market, making it extremely convenient. The room itself is spacious and features beautiful woodwork and a charming old-world ambiance.

Wonderful authentic traditional hotel offering large rooms with great views over the old city. Both the restaurant and roof top bars have outstanding views over the city. Right in the centre of the old town so easy to explore castle and old town. Very convenient parking once you get up the very narrow cobbled, steep road! Staff are so helpful and charming.

The hotel was very good located. The rooms are very clean and cozy also the view couldn't leave behind, it's amazing. The girl at the recp desk I think I remember her name properly ( Kella ), she was very helpful and she came to pick us up and was very friendly also she gave us a very warm welcome so we feel like in our house 🙏. Recommend this hotel 10/10. We also tried the restaurant there which has plenty of dishes and was very tasty and the staff were polite and professional. Breakfast has a lot of things to choose from 👌

Great location on the beach. Pleasant staff. Quite a large hotel with several spaces for parking. Close to seafront bars and restaurants. Overall a nice choice.

The hotel was very special, from the windows of the room you can see the whole city, the room was very clean, the sheets, towels, facilities, details, I also really liked the restaurant part, where the food was very tasty especially in the morning with that wonderful view. The girls at the reception were very kind and polite, they helped us upon arrival at the hotel and for any question and help they did not hesitate to be present, they made us feel like we were at home and not like strangers, this is something to be appreciated by the warm hospitality. I will definitely recommend this hotel & restaurant to my friends!!! Thank you Kela & Eneida

A wonderful hotel with impressive architecture, located 5 minutes from the castle and one minute from the bazaar. The rooms are the old style, with wood framed windows which let all the cold air from outside into the room. Although we had air conditioning that we could turn on warm, it couldn't cope. I can only say that it is a wonderful accommodation that I highly recommend!!!

The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect environment for relaxation. We enjoyed great facilities, excellent service and memorable experience. Highly recommend for team retreates or group getaways!

Breakfast was not good. Very old equipment - dust and dirt everywhere. I was most expensive hotel in our vacation and it was not worth it.

A True Gem in Gjirokastër – Exceptional Care and Service Our recent stay at Hotel Kodra was nothing short of extraordinary. Upon our arrival, our daughter was unfortunately feeling unwell. The care and attention the staff provided were beyond anything we could have expected. They went out of their way to ensure she was comfortable, even taking the time to prepare a special broccoli soup just for her. This level of compassion and service is rare to find, and it made a world of difference to us during our stay. We’ve stayed at several hotels in Gjirokastër, but Hotel Kodra stands out by far. The staff consistently amaze us with their warmth, attentiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile. From the beautiful surroundings to the impeccable service, everything about this hotel is top-notch. We wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Kodra to anyone visiting Gjirokastër. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a place where you’re truly cared for.

Nothing I didn’t like.

The staff was super helpful and attentive to all our needs. The breakfast was delicious! The view from our room was 10/10 amazing. Absolutely I would recommend this hotel to family and friends. You are right in the heart of old town Gjirokastër :)

Now the centre has been made traffic free the access to the hotel by car is a little tricky.

We have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions and we have always had a tremendous stay.

It stated in the description that there was an ATM on site (we needed to draw out cash in Albania) but this was not the case. Not sure if this was a mistake in the online description. Otherwise everything superb

The location was fantastic. The staff were superb. We booked the suite which was great value for money and a lovely breakfast. Made to feel very welcome

Only issue is the parking lot and the entrance. It was quite difficult to figure out. Challenging to drive the car up the main hill, then a very strange walk around the building, up some back stairs, then in through a back door. I had to ask for help!

Beautiful view from the hotel with a comfortable and quiet room. I loved the hard wood furniture and decor and the overall warm and unique ambiance that captured the vibe of Gjirokaster as a whole. Perfect location right by the Bazaar

Stayed in October 2023

Staff was very friendly and helpful, and our rooms were very spacious (in particular the Superior Suite), with a wonderful view on the old town. The hotel is located on top of the hill and very close to the Bazar area with its many bars and restaurants.
