Geo & Art Boutique Hotel

Geo & Art Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The location is excellent, right off the main promenade. The property is quaint, well-maintained, and full of charm. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were perfectly adequate for a couple of nights. We had a rear-facing balcony; however, each floor also had beautifully decorated common seating areas where you could relax, watch the sunset, enjoy views of the beach, or simply do some people-watching. Breakfast was included and offered a good selection of options. Overall, we felt it was great value for the money. My only suggestion for improvement would be parking convenience. Free street parking is very limited, so we opted to pay for parking about 500 metres up the road."

8/10 Good
"Beautiful hotel with very nice rooms, wonderful finishes, and spectacular views over Gjirokastër and the valley. The main drawback is the hilltop location: walking to and from the Old Town is extremely steep, so you will likely rely on taxis, which adds some friction if you want to explore frequently. The staff are friendly and genuinely helpful, though service can feel somewhat unpolished. The food is okay, but I found the restaurants in the Old Town much better. Overall, a lovely place to stay if you prioritize views and hotel quality over easy access to town."
