Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

Miracle Luxury Apartments

8/10 Good

"The place was super clean, the lady that checked us in very nice and helpful. The only thing I have to complain about is finding the place was a bit difficult as theres no exact adress listed. The dit on the map is a bit deceiving showing that the property is right in the center , which it is not. Its acriss the street from the bus station. Once we found it it was a pleasant stay, quiet place but a bit of a distance if you are walking from the center"

DREAM HOTEL SARANDA

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel. The staff were lovely and very helpful in helping us get around. I booked a room with the sea side view but I could see no sea side. That was my only complaint."

Bougainville Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and facilities"

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Superb value for our one night stay, would highly recommend Breakfast was included and it was satisfactory, the view from the top of the hotel was great"

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Joanna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"5* would recommend"

Dream Apartments Saranda

8/10 Good

"This apartment is conveniently located near restaurants and the beach. Our unit did not have a sea view, and since there are other buildings in front, I’m not sure if the property has units with a view. Check-in is done at the hotel a few minutes away, which is something to keep in mind. The apartment was well equipped overall, and having a washing machine was a definite plus. A few more pots in the kitchen would have been helpful. We were four people; two slept in the bed and two on the sofa bed, which unfortunately was not very comfortable. Overall, a convenient option, especially for its location."

Sunset Shoreline Saranda Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful, spacious, modern rooms. Great shower. Stunning view from the room, pool and restaurant. Truly breathtaking. The only two drawbacks for me were: The location: far up a hill with nothing nearby. As someone without a car, I’m glad I was only staying one night because taxis in Albania are expensive. At the same time, you can’t get that view without being high up. If you have a car or ample budget for taxis (35-40 euros round trip) you might not mind as much! The restaurant: Dinner at the restaurant was not great. I had the chicken risotto and ended up eating around the chicken. Drinks were good. Wine was great. And breakfast was really great!"
