Amazing hostel experience! The rooms were cozy and well-designed, with comfortable beds and handy storage space for all my belongings. The outdoor area was a true highlight – vibrant, green, and perfect for relaxing or socializing. Everything was spotless, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. A fantastic place to stay that instantly feels like home and near the center.

This newly opened hostel greatest feature is the friendly staff, and the air con in the spotless rooms as it’s been 30+ degrees outside, plenty hot water, a filtered cold water tap to top up your bottles and mountain tea.. quieter vibe not a party place suited me fine.

I really enjoyed the weeks I spent at the hostel. The hostel is very organized and clean, with air conditioning that keeps the atmosphere pleasant. It has the best view of the city with a giant rooftop. The volunteers are very nice and friendly, and the entire hostel staff is wonderful. I made many incredible friendships that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thanks :)

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
