One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The common area is beautiful and perfect for meeting and making friends with other guests, perhaps over a local beer, sold at a great price at reception! The attention to detail is immediately striking: comfortable beds with privacy curtains and individual lights for each bed. The showers are excellent and spacious, the environment is clean, and the hostel's location is excellent, just steps from the bus station and the sea. The staff was fantastic throughout my stay; July at check-in was very helpful and kind, she made me feel at home! For these reasons, I decided to extend my stay longer than I had planned! I will definitely be back soon, Faleminderit🫶

We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this hostel to anyone. We stayed in the private room for 3 nights and it was delightful. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful they recommended so many nice restaurants and sightseeing-places as well as hiking trails, and were overall really fun to be around. In the shortest time we already felt like a part of the family. We're definitely planning on coming back to Gjirokaster and this hostel!

The host is the nicest guy that I've met in whole Albania. He cares a lot about the place and visitors - after long and exhausting hike he even shared his dinner with me. I really enjoyed my stay there :)) Rooms was clean and spacious - I like that beds are single and there is only 3 of them, it's just more comfy and cameral.

All hostels in Gjirokastër

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!

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
