    Beautiful hotel restored in a traditional way. Right in the heart of the castle grounds and old town. Run by a lovely couple who shared their story of the development and their family. Spacious and comfortable room near great restaurants.

    The owner of the place, Dini, is very nice and kind. The place is located inside the castle complex. In order to get to the hotel, Dini very kindly helps with the parking lot. From the parking lot, you have to walk about 5 to 6 minutes, inside the...

    The property was inside the castle walls but not so close to the attractions as to be disturbed by other tourists. It was very quiet with a pretty courtyard and central living area, plus the rooms were comfortable, super clean and included air...

    Quiet location within castle walls, friendly proprietors . The building has recently been built and finished to a high standard and tastefully decorated. It has a comfy sitting area for guests and a pretty courtyard garden for all to enjoy.

    Very friendly owners, clean room, great location in the city center and very nice breakfast. Owners arranged free parking so that was great. Definitely pack a small bag, you don't want to drag your luggage over the very uneven cobblestones.

    Beautiful, clean, quiet hotel hidden away in the castle grounds near the tekke. We had the family room, bathroom was spotless (with an amazing view) beds were very comfortable, air con was good but the room was cool so we didn’t need it much....

Property information

Welcome to the House of Dollma, a blend of timeless Albanian tradition and modern comfort nestled within the historic Castle of Kruja. Our guesthouse stands as a testament to over 300 years of the Dollma family heritage. Originally built on ancestral foundations, our recently renovated property preserves original stone walls and integrates historical artefacts, such as an old Turkish cannonball discovered during renovations. Stay in rooms adorned with original stones and modern amenities, explore the beautifully decorated main lawn, and warm up by our cosy fireplace crafted from stones echoing the craftsmanship of Kruja’s artisans. The House of Dollma is where Albanian history and tradition are revived, offering you a unique cultural journey and a pleasurable stay. 

Neighbourhood information

Even the road to the House of Dollma is a unique experience in itself. Walking on cobblestone roads older than 500 years, the same way our national hero Scanderbeg (Gjergj Kastriot Skenderbeu) walked every day in his historical defence against the Ottoman Empire. In the immediate vicinity lies the Tekke of Dollma (Teqeja e Dollmës), an enduring symbol of faith and resilience bearing our family name, which survived Albania’s communist regime almost unscathed, adding to the rich history you’ll experience during your stay. Additionally the Ethnographic Museum of Kruja and the Museum of Kruja lie both within the Castle's walls and within walking distance. The peak of the Mountain of Kruja (Mali i Krujes) can be reached within 20 minutes (7,5 km, car transport) or alternatively for enthusiasts by hiking (around 2 hours hike). The nearest airport is Tirana International Mother Teresa Airport, 18 km from our Guesthouse. The capital city of Tirana is situated just 34 km away, while the Adriatic Coast (City of Durres) is 43 km away. All reachable within an hour through ground transportation.
