Hostel Xarba has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Gjirokastër. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

All guest rooms come with air conditioning, a fridge, an oven, a coffee machine, a shower, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. The units at the hostel are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. This is more like staying in someone’s home than a typical hostel. The hosts are incredibly hospitable, thoughtful, helpful — and generous. They are what makes this place so special. The breakfasts are fabulous, and in addition to the traditional welcome beverage they fed me a wonderful lunch one day washed down with raki. You can also do laundry free of charge. The location is fine, but be warned that it is about a 15 minute walk to the tourist area. No problem at all for any healthy person, but it may not be the best for someone with limited mobility. On the plus side, that means it’s much quieter; it’s also a short walk from the bus station, but the last part is very steep. Again, no problem for me but it could be for someone else. Communication is a bit challenging but we managed; I will stay here again.

Bujtina Hadër Xhebro in Tepelenë provides accommodation with a garden and a bar. When you reach this guesthouse... not only do you find a house, but you feel like a real guest. A guest of the house, a guest of the family. Almost a member of the family. Try all the food. Try the "sarma", the cheese... the Trahana... everything is locally homemade. Fresh from the garden or the mountain around. Thanks, everyone! Ariola, Natasja, Urania, Uncle Jaho, and "Arbor". It was not just a stay... it was an experience with you all.

Set in Gjirokastër, 45 km from Zaravina lake, Guest House and Hostel VAL-MAR offers air-conditioned accommodation and a bar. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

At the hostel, the rooms are equipped with a wardrobe and a patio with a city view. Perfect location! When you step outside you are surrounded by little shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The streets are beautiful. Bed was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were very modern and clean. Probably best shower I’ve had in my 4 months travelling Europe and the Balkins. The owners/family are all lovely and accomodating. If you’re a solo traveller looking for a really social atmosphere then this may not be for you however it was perfect for me as I was looking for a relaxing place close to everything.
