Right across the street you’ll find a supermarket, ATM, local shops, and the bus station, making it easy to explore the city and beyond.

Step inside and relax in our beautifully designed lounge, decorated with handcrafted local details inspired by the rich history and culture of Gjirokastër. We also offer an on-site restaurant where you can taste freshly prepared traditional Gjirokastër dishes, cooked with authentic local recipes and full of rich, homemade flavor. Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends, or as a couple, you’ll immediately feel at home.

Start your day with a complimentary breakfast, thoughtfully prepared to give you a fresh and energizing start before exploring Gjirokastër. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of free on-site parking, making your stay even more comfortable and stress-free. For electric vehicle travelers, we also provide an EV charging station (available for an additional fee).

Choose between our comfortable 6-bed dormitories or our unique private room, thoughtfully designed with nature-inspired décor to create a warm, relaxing, and memorable stay.

One of Bora Hostel’s greatest highlights is our peaceful garden, surrounded by trees and fresh mountain air—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, meet fellow travellers, or simply relax after a day of exploring. Animal lovers will also enjoy meeting our friendly resident cat and our beloved turtles, who have been part of the hostel family for years.
