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.

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.
Lijun, 1-night trip

Lovely staff and location

Well located near the bazaar. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and air conditioned. Wonderful views of the mountains at breakfast on the terrace. Bar does a nice range of drinks which can also be delivered to your room.
Rahul, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and one of the nicest hotels we stayed at in Albania! Room was spacious and bathroom finishings were all new. Slight disappointment that they don't turn the espresso machine on until after breakfast (pretty bad coffee), but the breakfast itself makes up for this shortcoming.

We had a great 1 night stay. Hotel is central to sights. First room was just as requested but neighbours chimney smoke began to blow into our room so we were changed to a lively 2 room suite thanks to Denis contacting the owner.
carey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Kalemi 2 is a very special hotel. Our suite was in a traditional style but with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. The views from our room were spectacular. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. We were able to park right outside the hotel entrance. A beautiful place to stay when you visit Gjirokaster!
Andrew, 2-night trip

Absolutely beautiful, and the staff is first class. The views are incredible, and everything you need is right outside of your door. I truly hope we have an opportunity to visit again. Access is challenging because it is in the old town, but once you arrive, there is on site parking. Enjoy!
