THE OLD TOWN CLOCK

The hosts are so fun and nice it was such a pleasure And the view from the room !!!!!!

Absolutely nothing

The owner met me out in the street which was a nice gesture. For the purposes of a tourist, this room was conveniently located on Rruga Alqi Kondi which extends uphill into the Old Bazaar section of town. I ate 3 different meals in the Old Bazaar area. From the Old Bazaar area, one can continue onward to the castle or to the Zekate House. There are smaller shops nearer to the lodging. There is a large and comfortable bed and a mini fridge is available. It is attached to a rather spacious bathroom. As to sleeping at night, I thought the neighborhood was quiet. As to the day I had to leave, I simply walked downhill on Alqi Kondi and switched streets once or twice to wind up at the bus station.

The bus from Tirana dropped me off at a roundabout at the upper end of Boulevard 18 Shtatori. In fact, it wasn't too far from my lodging. However, the Rruga Lufta E Mashkullores is a very steep, cobblestoned, leg burner! It was a bit of a workout to hike up that alleyway with my luggage in tow from Boulevard 18 Shtatori. Is this the fault of the owner? Absolutely not! I just wish to advise my fellow tourists that much of what you will want to see and experience are on the mountainsides of Gjirokaster.. so get those hiking boots on and prepare for leg burns!

Location and bed

Bathroom

Location was very close to main square. Parking was made available for the hotel otherwise very difficult to find parking in main area. Air conditioning was present.

Room was quite small and only small thin blanket was provided, which was not enough with air conditioning. So kept the Aircon on medium temperature which was not comfortable.
