Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the heart of the historic center, providing a fantastic base for exploring Berat. The rooms are beautifully decorated with traditional touches, offering a comfortable and stylish stay. The service is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant experience. The dining options are varied and delicious, with a delightful choice to start the day. However, the facilities could use a bit of improvement to enhance the overall stay.
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful choice for me. The rooms were comfortable and had an incredible balcony overlooking a beautiful courtyard with a view of the houses on the hill, full of character with really nice furniture. The service was very professional, with staff helping at every turn possible and assisting me in arranging my trip to Berat. The location was perfect, right at the entrance to Berat Castle, in a quiet sidestreet towards the castle and very close to the center. The dining experience offered a nice selection of food served on a view terrace. Overall, a great value for money.
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms were sparkling clean, well planned, and cosy in the old part of the hotel with really nice furniture in a tastefully restored Ottoman house. The service was incredibly welcoming, and the location was perfect for exploring the historic part of the town. Dining was one of the best experiences we had in Albania. However, the price could be a bit high for some travelers.
