    Looks like it but no

    Whilst looking for a hotel on the main street down from the taxi square, an oldish-looking man accosted us with the word 'hotel?' while gesturing towards his eyes. A swap of glances between my travelling companion and I led us to repond in the affirmative. The gentleman beckoned us down a side-road, continually looking over his shoulder and waving us on at a brisk pace. A couple of hundred yards later and it transpired that the 'hotel' to which the gentleman was alluding was in fact a spare room at the back of his house. Negotiating an old pallet and some spectacularly awkward steps, the 'hotelier' showed us into a small hall with a washroom off one way, and a double and single bed in an adjoining room. The gentleman marched over to the bedside table and, picking something up, turned and proudly presented us with his business card: 'Hotel Tuto' and a phone number scribbled onto the back of a torn up cigarette carton. According to the gesticulations of our host, the whole building belonged to Tuto and his family. After instructing us, in detailed Albanian, how to use the shower (something about turning off the electricity to avoid...and I didn't quite catch the last bit), we agreed a price of 700 Leke for the pair of us (about £5, I think). With that he marched out of the door with a smile on his face.

    The alarm call in the morning was Tuto knocking on the window bars and saying 'Checkout' whilst holding up ten fingers, then 'Chelsea' while signalling a double thumbs down. If only I knew the Albanian idiom for 'I'm a Kidderminster Harriers fan'.

    Hotel Buci: Hotel Buci
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Hotel Buci stands along Rruga nacionale, the main highway coming from the south. I suppose it is Puntore district. It is certainly not the best hotel in town but we arrived there a bit late, it was clean, the staff was friendly, it was inexpensive, they could make dinner, then we stayed there andwere perfectly happy about it.

    "CAJUPI": Old times of regime
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Hotel 'Cajupi' seems to be the biggest in the town. It is the typical hotel building of communist architecture and the interiors still reminded me that time, but I liked my staying there. We had a twin room with bathroom for 20 $. But I'm reading here on VT other interesting tips about accomodation in Gjirokaster, so search around.

    Hotel Cajupi: Lingering communist decor
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Hotel Cajupi is located prominently in the main taxi square, just before the old town. I didn't stay in the hotel, as we were only there for a day trip, but after the 4 hour coach journey from Ksamili we were all a bit desperate, so nipped into the hotel to use the toilet facilities. These weren't impressive - a bit dank and dirty - but the interior of the hotel is well worth a look. Apparently it was a state-run hotel during communist times, and still has the red carpet and decorations to prove it.
