Were a young couple and took 30 minutes walk to saranda promenade- quite a up hill walk and has alot of character because of residents nearby and cemetery. We always passed a black labrador dog who is really friendly and polite. The room isn’t that modern but has everything you need: Aircon, Smart TV: Netflix/Youtube. The shower pressure is also great. One tip is if you don’t want them to clean your room, tell them directly. We had the DND sign but they still did it until we requested otherwise (great job just didn’t want someone else cleaning up our mess) " [](https://expedia.ca/Sarande-Hotels-Mucobega-Hotel.h119136721.Hotel-Information) ## More cheap stays in Gjirokastër ![Rumani 3 Islands Hotel](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107200000/107193400/107193398/3d022fad_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=402&ra=fit) ### Rumani 3 Islands Hotel Rruga Butrinti, 4 Valltaret Ksamil CA $52 CA $64 total Apr 10 - Apr 11 includes taxes & fees 9/10 Wonderful!
