Homemade Breakfast Bliss

The breakfast at this hotel was an absolute delight! Each morning presented a spread of homemade pancakes, fresh veggies, and traditional Albanian dishes that were simply delicious. It felt like enjoying a meal made by family, which added a special touch to our mornings.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, characterized by great hospitality and a unique traditional atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and I particularly enjoyed the homemade breakfast, which was a real highlight. The location allowed easy access to all the main sights in Gjirokastra. However, the ongoing renovation of the restaurant during my stay was a minor inconvenience, but the room service for breakfast more than made up for it.
