The host was very nice and generous and greeted us with nice tea and pomegranates. The house has a large and beautiful garden and great view. The room was nice but not too big. Distance to the old town was about 10 minutes walk on a nice pedestrian path.

Braja House, hotel in Gjirokastër

Boasting mountain views, Braja House is situated in Gjirokastër, around 44 km from Zaravina lake. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge.

Modern accommodation options are mushrooming up in Albania all the time, so Braja House offers a rare chance to experience a beautiful historic home. The breakfast/family room is like a living museum and a wonder to behold. The room itself looks a little like an extension that was added to what is like a rambling home. It's comfortable and beautifully decorated with a private bathroom. There are also very atmospheric views of the city from there. The hospitality is doled out by the woman of the house and her husband. There will be a quick shot of gliko and Raki on arrival with great fanfare. They have no English, but the warmth of the welcome doesn't diminish as they make themselves understood. Their fluent grandson Bjant helps coordinate the visit remotely via phone, and his mother also has good English. Breakfast is in the dream setting of their family room and is a generous mix of savory and sweet.

    The guesthouse is very beautiful in a great location. Adela is a wonderful host, replies fast and will help you with everything. Breakfast is available for €7 per person which we thought was great. The room was very comfortable and modern, the balcony was beautiful, the airconditioning worked well and the shower pressure was great.

    This hotel is a rare jewel! it was definitely the most special hotel we stayed at in Albania - it truly felt like staying in an ottoman palace! Great location in the old quarter, right next to attractions like the Skenduli House and old bazaar but in a quiet street. The terrace is charming and has fantastic views. The hosts made us feel at home and were so welcoming and kind. All in all, we would definitely come back and we highly recommend it!

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Maradone is the best host you'll ever met! Great location of the hotel + Maradona is willing you to taxi you to the old city centre. Please don't eat in the city centre, the best & most cheap dinner you'll find in the hotel :)

    Ernest and his family were very kind hosts, ready to help us whenever needed. The place is even better in real then shown in the pictures: very comfortable and clean room, cosy terrace in the shadow to enjoy a drink or a very tasty homemade breakfast. As it gets hot in summer you can enjoy the small swimming pool. The hotel is in a great location: right in the city centre and near main attractions of Gjirokastër but in a quiet street.
