The owners are such kind people who made our stay so beautiful by welcoming us as if we were part of the family! They were taking care for everything we needed (you can wash your clothes for free), brought fruits and drinks, and even surprised us with an incredible dinner with lots of laughter and exchange using different languages in order to understand each other. It was more than special and I fully recommend. Thank you very much!

Marian and his wife Bona were so kind and welcoming. Marian even picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station during my stay. The hostel is so clean; both the bathrooms and rooms. The bed was super soft and comfortable. It’s located right in the center of the city. There was not a kitchen when I stayed but Marian said he is working on the kitchen and it will be available soon. Highly recommend.

Very clean and comfortable place. The beds have a curtain to give you some privacy and the aircon works. It's not a party hostel, so if you are into that, this place is probably too boring for you. Still easy to meet people as a solo traveller.

The stay at Hostel The Old Gate was amazing! The moment I arrived, the host (Taulant) greeted me with so much kindness and made me feel instantly at home. My room was spotless and cozy, with a balcony that opened to the most breathtaking mountain views, I could have sat there for hours. Breakfast was simple and delicious with homemade honey made by the owner, the perfect energy boost before wandering through the streets of Gjirokastër’s Old Bazaar as well as the Ali Pasha Bridge (aquaduct), both sites are located not far from the hostel. I loved relaxing on the terrace in the evening, surrounded by the peaceful garden, the host offered some homemade rakia and gave some nice suggestions for visiting in Gjirokaster and other places in southern Albania. Everything about this place felt authentic and welcoming. Without a doubt, I’d come back here again, it’s one of those rare places that makes traveling feel special.

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.
