It's a family run business. They are all 3 very welcoming and do their best to help you with all your needs. It moved me having such a warm smile and welcome after a long day on the road. The location is right in the heart of the old town. The place is clean, tidy and neat.

Great facilities, cozy atmosphere and quite an amazing breakfast included. AC kept us cool during the night. The staff was helpful and friendly - they gave many recommendations about what to see around the area and some restaurant options. Location is also very close to the old town and many attractions. Would stay again!

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
