The owners are fantastic and are very kind. The location was beautiful with a gorgeous view at breakfast. The room was large with plenty of space and the breakfast delicious and usually had a traditional albanian side to try. Just a note it is up a steep hill so if your hard of walking this may not be the stay for you, however also don't let that put you off as the entire old town area is on step hills

Alsara Guesthouse is offering accommodation in Gjirokastër. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Zaravina lake is 45 km away.

The host is kind and generous, concerned to ensure you have the best stay possible. He offered us ice cream cones made with milk from his farm and drove us to the bus station on our departure, plus a glass of wine on the rooftop terrace in the evening (the red wine was excellent). The location is fabulous, in the center of the bazaar, close to everything so it was easy to pop back into the hotel to use the washroom or retrieve an item. And the breakfast was sumptuous - fresh squeezed orange juice, fruit, eggs, breads, sausages, etc. - all enjoyed on the terrace with great views.

    When they bring their room description and booking management in order it's totally recommendable. I'd booked a 20m² room with sofa, balcony and view but got a 14m² room without none of it. A bit disappointing. Apart from that I have only words of praise left. A charming family owned place with only four rooms. Tastefully restored with quality materials. Spotless clean. A nice cosy patio. Good and quiet location just 5 min.s walk from the bustling Old city center. Very kind and welcoming reception.

    The hosts were amazing, very short walk to the city centre, the hosts met us from the highway and guided us to the house, they were available at any time with any problem and left us chocolates, pickles, raiki, homemade jam and came back with fresh fruit for us and extra cutlery just in case. Everything was very clean, good wifi and any kitchen appliances you would want including a juicer. They went above and beyond if I were to come back this is where I would stay. Best booking.com hosts I have had.

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Maradone is the best host you'll ever met! Great location of the hotel + Maradona is willing you to taxi you to the old city centre. Please don't eat in the city centre, the best & most cheap dinner you'll find in the hotel :)

    Ernest and his family were very kind hosts, ready to help us whenever needed. The place is even better in real then shown in the pictures: very comfortable and clean room, cosy terrace in the shadow to enjoy a drink or a very tasty homemade breakfast. As it gets hot in summer you can enjoy the small swimming pool. The hotel is in a great location: right in the city centre and near main attractions of Gjirokastër but in a quiet street.
