Alsara Guesthouse is offering accommodation in Gjirokastër. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Zaravina lake is 45 km away.

It was really great stay at the Alsara Guesthouse. We expect it will be great after reading the reviews and seeing pictures of the breakfast and therefore we decided to stay two nights in Gijrokaster instead of one and we also recommend the other guests to stay longer in the town and at the Alsara Guesthouse. The location is great as right from the Guesthouse you enter the main streets of the Bazaar, so you are right in the center. Even though you are in the center there is no noise coming from town during the night, so we had great sleep. The rooms are very nice and clean. In the Alsara Guesthouse there is a great rooftop, which is one of the best things about this hotel. We enjoyed there a glass of wine with a beautiful view on the town and we started there our mornings with breakfast. The breakfasts are HUGE, and there are another reason to stay an extra night at the Alsara Guesthouse. Moreover, the owner is super carring and helpful, he recommend us places to visit, restaurants to eat at and helped organized a taxi with a good price. If you come to Gjirokaster you must stay at the Alsara Guesthouse, we loved it very much!

The guest house features mountain views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Joanna, the host, was welcoming, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations to visit the area. The video she made was very helpful to find her home. Without it, we would have had trouble finding her place. The location was great, and we enjoyed the view of the castle from her patio, where she served us a wonderful home cooked and traditional breakfast. The room worked well for us and was very quiet for sleeping. Joanna helped us park our car beside the room. Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend this cute and charming guestroom. Joanna's hospitality was heartfelt.

    When they bring their room description and booking management in order it's totally recommendable. I'd booked a 20m² room with sofa, balcony and view but got a 14m² room without none of it. A bit disappointing. Apart from that I have only words of praise left. A charming family owned place with only four rooms. Tastefully restored with quality materials. Spotless clean. A nice cosy patio. Good and quiet location just 5 min.s walk from the bustling Old city center. Very kind and welcoming reception.

    Absolutely everything. But above all, the hospitality and care of the hostess of the guest house. Very cozy room in national style. Good Wi-Fi. The room has a vein, shower gel, shampoo. In the morning, at the time agreed upon the day before, we were brought breakfast, incredibly tasty and homemade. After checking out, we left our things at the hotel and went for a walk around the town. The hotel is well located, a 3-4 minute walk from the Bazaar, very quiet, with a beautiful view of the mountains from the window

    The guest house is located in a very charming area, practically next to Gjirokastër Castle and the main spots. The host was very kind at all times and helped us find a place to park the car, as well as explaining about the city and giving us some travel tips. The room was very clean and organized. The breakfast was very delicious and they were very helpful in preparing a special vegan meal for my friend. Excellent value for money.

    Great location, walking distance from the bazaar and castle. Very nice hosts, we received free fresh fruits upon arrival. Very nice breakfast delivered to our balcony with a view on the castle. The owner's mom is a professional piano player and we loved hearing her practice.

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Great host, great location, great apartment. Parking space right in front of the apartment, a market 5 steps away, and a bar/restaurant again in front of the apt. The host was extremely nice, replys to messages in a matter of minutes, and always with a smile! Would recommend 5/5.
