Hotels in Çarçovë

"I had an absolutely perfect stay at Kalemi 2 Hotel. The building itself is full of charm and history, beautifully preserved while still offering all the modern comforts. My room was spacious, clean, and cozy, with lovely traditional details that made the experience feel authentic and special. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay—always ready with a smile and great recommendations. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the views from the hotel are just stunning. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Gjirokastër’s old town, making it easy to explore the castle, cobblestone streets, and local restaurants. I highly recommend Kalemi 2 Hotel to anyone visiting Gjirokastër. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s part of the experience. I’ll definitely return!"

"The rooms are outdated and have a strong baby powder smell. While they provide the necessities, the furniture and overall condition need improvement — both chairs in our room were stained. There was also a private party during our stay, and the noise and music carried on until 2 a.m., making it hard to sleep. The location does not actually offer views of the Vjosa River from the rooms, only the mountains. On the positive side, breakfast was enjoyable with a nice view and good coffee, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s fine for a short stop to enjoy breakfast, but I would not recommend spending the night."

"Amazing place and service "

"A special thing about this hotel was the preservation of Albanian tradition with those traditional curtains and costumes that we grew up with."

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Hotel Bineri. From the moment we arrived, the whole household was incredibly helpful and welcoming. They were so hospitable—taking the time to show us around, share the fascinating history of Gjirokastër, and even give us tips on the best places to visit (and a few to avoid). The property itself is beautiful, full of authentic charm that reflects the city’s character, yet with all the modern comforts you could want. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and had breathtaking views over the historic town. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh local products and plenty of variety. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, making it easy to explore the cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and the historic castle. This was truly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. We left with great memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend Hotel Bineri to anyone visiting Gjirokastër!"

"Amazing location. You just need to park before in an under ground parking garage. Lovely staff. Great hotel. Over just a super place. "

"Stunning stay in the hills above Gjirokastër. Beautiful hotel, food at the restaurant was amazing, stunning pool area and the staff could not do enough to ensure an amazing stay. If you are driving yourself to the hotel, do NOT follow Google maps, sure you ask for the road route video before you arrive to make life easier. The road leading through the town are very narrow and steep."

"The place is truly unique - in the heart of the stone city of Gjirokastre"

"Had an amazing time at Hotel Fantasy! Service was great! Breakfast was delicious! We couldn’t find parking and called the front desk and they were so helpful picking us up. The location and views were unbeatable! You get a view of the castle from breakfast! Super clean well maintained would romcommed!"
