Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel located in the heart of the "old town" walking distance to all the tourist attractions. The service is excellent and the rooms are perfectly renovated.

Great hotel - excellent service

Hotel is in an older building and represent an older style - very good rooms and some great views. Breakfast was excellent - staff were very friendly. Finding the place in a car was a challenge as was parking but we had a great stay and enjoyed the experience.

Sonja, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful views and night life around the city. The staff are extremely accommodating and helpful (we got lost and the staff helped with directions to the hotel). Definitely worth stopping and staying a night or two if youre in the area. I would go out of my way to stay here again if travelling to Albania.

To avoid at any cost

Uncomfortable rooms in old building. Dirty toilets and shower. Disgusting breakfast, not secured parking. Unfriendly staff

10/10 Exceptional

I had an absolutely perfect stay at Kalemi 2 Hotel. The building itself is full of charm and history, beautifully preserved while still offering all the modern comforts. My room was spacious, clean, and cozy, with lovely traditional details that made the experience feel authentic and special. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay—always ready with a smile and great recommendations. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the views from the hotel are just stunning. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Gjirokastër’s old town, making it easy to explore the castle, cobblestone streets, and local restaurants. I highly recommend Kalemi 2 Hotel to anyone visiting Gjirokastër. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s part of the experience. I’ll definitely return!

Ótimo lugar em Girokaster

Hotel a poucos passos do bazar, muitos restaurantes, barres, lojinhas de souvenir . Também fácil de ir a pé para o castelo e museus . Difícil foi chegar lá porque o Google maps não ajudou. Foi aí que a recepcionista do hotel veio ao nosso encontro e nos guiou. Uma imensa gentileza. Tudo muito caprichado , cada lugar do hotel bem charmoso .

Hôtel très typique. Chambre spacieuse. Le seul bemol la climatisation qui fonctionne mal. Avec la chaleur la chambre est étouffante car beaucoup de tapis boiseries et plafond bas... très beau mais trop chaud. Accès à l'hôtel en voiture difficile et périlleux. Montée très très raide étroite et pavée Pour conducteur aguerri et parking idem

The hotel has very historical feeling decoration. The room is clean and with nice castle view. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast is nice. The only downside is that at night, our room on the 3rd floor was a bit cold. It would be no problem for warmer days.
