Property Description

3 time winner of the award 'Best Hostel in Albania'

Stone City Hostel is situated in an monumental house at the start of the bazar. It has a shaded garden with fruit trees, a huge roof terrace and brilliant views of the castle. Inside there's a big common room with a fully equipped kitchen and nice places to chill out. There are three dorms and one double room, all with air-conditioning and custom made beds with large lockers underneath. We have fast free Wi-Fi, free use of computers, and a bar full of cold drinks. We provide a nutritious breakfast so you're ready for a great 'Gjiro-experience'. There's lots to see and do in Gjirokaster and its surroundings. The area has been inhabited for millenia and is blessed with both natural and cultural wonders. We've explored it thoroughly and like to show you the best sites. We organise 4WD and walking trips in the area. If you like to organise your own trip we are happy to give you suggestions and useful maps!

The hostel is run by American sweetheart Brenna, crazy Dutchman Walter and a mix of well travelled locals and foreigners. We want to make sure you feel right at home here and we organize lots of free activities, including swim-trips, city walks and board game nights. Come relax, explore, hike and discover with us and if you stay long enough you might just try one of Brenna's famous cakes....

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Perfect location (bus from Sarande drops you off 20 mins away tho), super homey and relaxed vibe, great to meet people. Staff and volunteers are amazing, laundry for 450 leks, great breakfast, all the comforts of home.

Wonderful staff, wonderful balcony and lounge to chill out on and absorb the atmosphere of the Old Bazaar, and stunning views over the castle and valley. Do not miss the walking tour, it is incredibly informative.

Great location and stay at Stone City! Really appreciate the extra time Kevin took to go over the hostel basics and a few highlights of things to do. Nice breakfast in the morning, security and atmosphere. Thanks to Morgan for the help as well!
