    This was a fantastic experience! Braja house is a real traditional Albanian house with a great view on the town. All Gjirokaster attractions are in a walking distance from the house. Plus, it is a true homestay. Bjant's grandma welcomed us in her living room with traditional coffee, raki and sweets. On the next morning, she prepared us a huge, excellent Albanian breakfast. All the family is friendly and lovely. Highly recommended!

    Amazing view from the balcony, lovely host family, very clean room, new facilities, comfy bed, great value, onsite parking (not on the steep hill which is rare for Gjirokastër!), good location, (about 10 min walk to main area of Old Town (but up hill) and without car/motorbike it might be quite hard from the bus station as also all up hill, but this is the case with the whole of Gjirokastër).

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    Great host family! They take super good care of you and will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. They can also cook you breakfast and make coffee for a very reasonable fee. This hostel has all you need. Clean toilets, nice dining area and awesome terrace to enjoy a coffee. Beds and pillows are super comfy. The location is great, just a 2 minite stroll uphill to the bazaar and all the shops and restaurants, or a 5 minute downhill walk to town.
