STONE WALLS & A WARM WELCOME

Stone City Hostel lives in a traditional stone house in the old town of Gjirokastër, the UNESCO-listed “stone city”, a short walk from the bazaar and the castle. Thoughtfully decorated and impeccably clean, it is social but intimate: the kind of place guests keep coming back to.

BREAKFAST TOGETHER, HOURS ON THE TERRACE

Breakfast is included and served at one long shared table: a delicious start and the easiest way to meet the other guests. Afterwards the terrace under the stone roofs is yours, with flowers, fairy lights and a mountain view, made for a good book.

“There is a lovely terrace where you can spend hours reading books.”
