This place was awesome. They do a great breakfast every morning, beds are comfy, something is organized everyday and it s super close to the city Center. They have super friendly staff and are very resourceful for trip planning. They offer towels with your shower, and the atmosphere was fantastic, made a friend group instantly and had a great time in the area

Fantastic Social Hostel

Absolutely brilliant stay in Gjirokastra. An amazing hostel. Such lovely and well maintained communal spaces, with a really nice friendly feel. We stayed in the 4 bed dorm and it was so comfy and the beds were seriously good. Our bathroom was super clean and breakfast was delicious. Loved all the teas for guests and the free walking tour was also fantastic. superb location and highly enjoyed !! 10/10

One of our favourite hostels ever - cannot be improved !

We came to Stone and city hostel because a fellow traveler recommended it to us and we did not regret it!The hostel is a magic little place in the middle of Girokastër’s mountains. From our room we had a view on the castle of Girokastër. The hostel has everything a traveler could wish for: the interior is designed with lovely details, the terrace is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is great, willing to help, organizing tours and always up for great ideas. The breakfast is delicious and we even got to cuddle with baby kittens that were sheltered by Walter during our stay at Stone and City hostel.
Big big reccomendation ☺️🧿

huge reccomendation 🌼🌼🌼

Would 100% stay here again when in Gjirokaster. I had a brilliant time

ROOMS: Dorm rooms are spacious with lockers underneath the beds. Each bed has a light and plug. The beds are super comfortable - I had the best nights sleep here of my entire trip. There is AC in the rooms too, and they are super clean.

FACILITIES: The bathroom is also very clean with hot, powerful showers. There is a kitchen for cooking should you need it as well as books and a laptop. There is a lovely outdoor terrance and indoor seating space for chilling. Wifi is good.

SERVICES: Breakfast is amazing - eggs, bread and spreads, fruit, cheese, home made cake. The hostel runs great tours including a walking tour and also a jeep tour to various interesting places in the surrounding areas (that would be impossible to get to alone) - viewpoints, waterfalls, Roman ruins, monasteries - it was an excellent tour!

STAFF: Brilliant, super helpful and super knowledgable. There’s a great,friendly vibe at this hostel.

LOCATION: Based in the old town, the hostel is a 20 min walk from the bus station. All of the main sites of Gjirokster can be walked to in minutes

A perfect hostel - you must stay here!

It was a pleasure to stay at Stone City Hostel. It is run by high-energy people with a positive and helpful attitude and a heart for animals. The hostel is a renovated Ottoman house authentic for the region. The walking tour organized by the owner is highly recommended and shows some off the beaten track highlights of Gjirokaster. This is the best hostel I stayed at in Albania so far. Keep up the good work!

Best hostel so far in Albania

Amazing place. Extremely clean, new, comfy and homely. Breakfast are pretty good. Walking tour with the owner was more than fantastic. And the most important thing you have a good and very interesting people around. From the first second I felt like a part of a big family. Definitely the best one !

Perfect place

I had a great stay at this hostel. It is really clean, comfortable and well decorated. Breakfast was good with eggs cooked on demand. Very centrally located and the owner Walter does a city tour in the evening which was a great experience. 
Thank you


Fantastic hostel

This hostel was legit perfection. I cannot fault one thing in it. The hostel felt like a cosy home which I never wanted to leave. The location is perfect, Walter and breanna are amazing (ask walter about his adventures in russia), and it was so clean with a great kitchen, bathroom, dorms everything!!! And amazing breakfast! On one of the nights we all sat and played board games, drinking Rakya and listening to music. You'd be silly to stay anywhere else. The best hostel I have ever stayed at hands down, and I've stayed at well over 200.

The best hostel you will ever stay at

I stayed here for three nights at the end of August/beginning of September. Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, good breakfast, spacious outside area, close to centre of town, decent enough showers, naughty kitten - it's genuinely hard to find fault with the  place. If you want to chill out and read a book, you can do that. If you want to drink a stupid amount of beer/wine/raki and meet other travelers, you can do that too. Walter the owner took us on a tour of some of the most interesting houses of old Gjirokaster, and even to a football match the next day. I highly recommend that if you visit this amazing city, stay at this amazing hostel.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in

This hostel had the highest rating on hostel world app so I went in with very high expectations. Although the hostel is big and decorated I guess it attracts many travelers bcoz it felt a little crowded.
Walter and Brenna are very nice, I reached in the middle of the night but they accommodated me on the couch, bed would have been nicer but he said they were fully booked. They were helpful in the way that they answered all my questions but it always seemed hurried and as if they were mildly irritated under the smiles. I didn't have any conversation with either of them or any warm connection.
I wanted the AC turned on during the evening as the dorm was pretty much full and got a little warm but was told that they only turn the AC on after 9pm which seemed odd.

All in all I can only say that while they do a great job at keeping the hostel spotless and working, almost like machinery, I didn't feel any warmth or welcome and felt like I was just passing through the system.

And also for a rating of 9.9, I can definitely speak from experience and say I've seen better.
