Hotel Argjiro

I had a wonderful stay at Argjiro Hotel. The location is perfect — right in the heart of Gjirokastër, just steps away from the old bazaar and historic landmarks. The hotel itself is beautifully restored, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and elegantly decorated, with stunning views of the stone rooftops and surrounding mountains. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, always making sure I had everything I needed. Breakfast was generous and delicious, with a great variety of local flavors to start the day. If you’re visiting Gjirokastër and looking for a place that offers both authenticity and comfort, I highly recommend Argjiro Hotel.

Located very easy walk to the Castle of Gjirokastra; Argjiro Hotel has been renovated to match the ambiance of the area with impressive and detailed hand-crafted wood working in the reception area. The room we stayed was also had an opulent carved wood working in the ceiling. This property also offered free breakfast, and the hotel also owns the attached restaurant where we ate and the food and service were also excellent. A great place to stay when visiting Castle of Gjirokastra in Southern Albania .

A pleasant old style hotel, converted from an old palace. Our room was fairly small but quiet, comfortable and well appointed. Generally friendly helpful staff. Good generous breakfast. A good base to explore this interesting town.
