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.

Could not recommend this place enough. The rooms are fantastic for the price, the terrace has a great view and the breakfast is delicious - by far the best included breakfast we had in Albania. The best part was the hospitality. The owner was so helpful and friendly to the point where he was happy to give us a lift to the castle on his way to the shops. Highly recommended.

Before describing the property itself, I must mention the hotel manager—interestingly named Maradona. He was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about our stay. After we made the reservation, he contacted us right away to share useful information about how to reach the hotel. He also gave us great tips about the city, which really added value to our trip. Although the hotel is within walking distance to the city center, Maradona kindly drove us there himself and picked us up at the time we requested. Since some members of my family are older and could have gotten tired walking, this gesture was deeply appreciated. The rooms were very well-maintained with a nostalgic charm, and the breakfast was satisfying. Overall, it was a warm and memorable experience thanks to both the hospitality and the comfort.

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.

The staff at the reception were very polite and helpful. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable, well designed and has everything in there that you need. Hotel was amazingly clean. Great location near to the main attractions and just in front of the castle. Many nice restaurants nearby. There was a jacuzzi in place but not functional yet.
