The property is in the Old city and very close to the Bazaar and all the restaurants, cafeteria and historic sites in Gjirokaster. We've had an amazing time and I truly recommend Maria and her lovely house.

The place is adorable! Maria the owner gave us a warm welcome, set with us to explain every thing about the city and made us feel at home! the place is beautiful with a spectacular view over the city and fortress! the location is great close to the center and the fortress. the breakfast was good and we enjoyed it looking at the city :) The room was a part of a shared apartment and we had our private bathroom and shower, but you feel like you're visiting a family so you don't mind that it's shared :) Very important - it's a bit difficult to get there with GPS, I would recommend to get close to the place (about 300m) and than look at the place on Google Maps and try to get to the point just from looking at the map and not using the navigation, because it'll take you through small and slippery roads. Overall we had a great time over there! Thank you Maria!

The units have air conditioning, a safety deposit box and a flat-screen TV, and some units at the guest house have a terrace. At the guest house, every unit includes a private bathroom.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mani Guest House! The room was clean and comfortable. The location was great as it was a short walk to the castle and bazaar. The food was incredible - we had a traditional breakfast each morning, you could tell that a lot of effort was put into it. We also had dinner here on our last night and it was fantastic. Not only was it way better than both the places we ate at in the bazaar but it was also reasonably priced. They can cook all vegetarian meals as well. The outdoor space was really nice to have - we had breakfast in the garden each morning and spent the evening on the rooftop terrace. So relaxing and such a fantastic view. The best part of this entire place is the lovely family that puts their heart into caring for their guests. I stayed with lots of my own family during this trip to Albania and I felt as comfortable here as I did with any of my family. We will definitely be returning next time we're in town!

    Gjirokaster is a nice small town nested between impressive mountain ranges and from Alma's (the owner) terrace we could enjoy not only a beautiful view but also a very tasty breakfast. Alma is a great host and we had a very pleasant stay at her place. Rooms were clean and parking was just outside. Definitely recommend it. 10/10! Thanks for having us Alma :)

    Amazing view from the balcony, lovely host family, very clean room, new facilities, comfy bed, great value, onsite parking (not on the steep hill which is rare for Gjirokastër!), good location, (about 10 min walk to main area of Old Town (but up hill) and without car/motorbike it might be quite hard from the bus station as also all up hill, but this is the case with the whole of Gjirokastër).

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    Great host family! They take super good care of you and will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. They can also cook you breakfast and make coffee for a very reasonable fee. This hostel has all you need. Clean toilets, nice dining area and awesome terrace to enjoy a coffee. Beds and pillows are super comfy. The location is great, just a 2 minite stroll uphill to the bazaar and all the shops and restaurants, or a 5 minute downhill walk to town.
