A wonderful experience. The view was amazing. The hospitality of the owner was exceptional. We loved our breakfast. The room was very cozy and very clean. I loved the details that were hand made. You felt the spirit of Gjirokastra. 
We will come back.
Wish you all the best and thank you for the experience.

Best Ina.

A wonderful experience

My husband and I stayed in their 8 bed hostel but on a recent visit were told that the hostel rooms weren't available due to problems with permitting or something along those lines. It was such a shame. Their other rooms are wonderful though. The staff were so friendly and made our stay amazing. 

Love this place. 

I booked on Agoda.com. I had a receipt of my payment in my email. After traveling 10 hours on a bus I arrived around 10pm. I told them about my booking and they said they received no payment and that they only received a reservation under my name through Booking.com (which I did not use). They told me I had to pay again even though i showed them the booking confirmation email and receipt PDF. 

I understand some places have technical problems but the front desk people were laughing at me and very rude about it. They then got a "manager" lady to come basically tell me i had to pay or leave so she was even worse. Incredibly unprofessional and not a fun experience for me. I left and got a new hostel. Maybe this place would be ok if you just show and pay? But I wouldn't pay to deal those front desk people. Probably wouldn't stay there for free.

Wanted me to pay twice, impolite, laughed at me at front desk.

We have stayed in a private twin. There was no window in the room, the freestanding A/C unit was simultaneously cooling and heating the air in the room. One of the bed frames should have been trashed long time ago but instead was fixed with duct tape and some wire. Mattress was thin and was wrapped in plastic packaging. They only have two private rooms but still do not provide any towels. If you decide to stay with them do not arrange your bus journeys with them. I have asked the lady at the reception how much they charge for bus to Cameron Highlands. She said 50 RM with a pick up from Clockwise. As it was only 2 RM more expensive than what I saw on line I have decided to book 2 tickets. I have asked at least three times if the price includes pick up, and she said yes. After issuing the tickets she said I owe her 106 RM which is 2 x 50 RM for bus PLUS 2 x 3RM for transfer to the bus station. One good thing about this place is that it is located on a quiet street close to everything.

Most uncomfortable bed in the world.

We slept here for 4nights. 3 nights in a private double room which was quite warm (there was a fan and airco though but still..) and 1 night in a 8beddorm. Bring your own travelsheet because we were not sure if the sheets of the hostel were washed..
The owner was very friendly and helpfull. 

Friendly owner, sheets bit sandy

We hadn't booked any accomodation in advance in Penang so just stumbled upon this little place by chance. Only 60RM for a private air con room with breakfast, so very budget friendly. The whole place is painted in bright and cheerful colours and in one the heritage buildings. It's a really nice hostel, on a quiet lane just off Love Lane, so within walking distance to the main roads. The staff were super friendly, and the whole place was very clean. The only minor things: the wifi a little patchy, the air con dripped a little bit and our room was a little dark, could have done with one more lamp by the bed but as I said, all minor issues. Very happy to find this gem and would be glad to stay again :)
