we spent a few days in Albania and it was definitely the best accommodation. Mateo and his family are wonderful people. The breakfast was delicious, the location was quite good, quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this accommodation, the rooms were clean, it was quiet and peaceful. we will come back for sure. Before arriving, it is worth contacting and stopping the car before the hill.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    As a solo female traveller, I couldn’t recommend Stone City more! The hostel is spotless, great location, amazing staff, free breakfast and incredible social areas to meet other travellers.

    Probably on of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at, not just very tastefully decorated but also very comfortable and cosy. And the staff is for sure the kindest ever, they are very attentive and nice. I wish we had one more day in Gjirokäster so we could spend more time in the hostel!

    This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were super friendly and helpful, even offering great insights into day trips around the area that weren’t online. Would highly recommend!

    "Grand Park Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. The breakfast was very delicious and fresh. It is 30 minutes from sea, and very easily located. Overall, my stay at Grand Park Hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet, tranquil, and very cheap stay!

    The best hostel I have stayed at in Albania! Staff were amazing and very helpful! Dormitories were great, bathrooms were clean and modern. The breakfast each morning is perfect, and the hostel itself is well set up. Attracts a good group of backpackers, had a great time. Will definitely be back. Also the cocktail night they held had the best G&Ts
