Berat hotels

Pros: What a delightful place! The owner, Aleksander, is a kind, softly-spoken man who will happily chat to you if you make the time. It took 5 years to renovate this lovely old building, and it has been restored with sympathy and care. I had a very nice stay and would highly recommend it to others. I see from previous reviews that there are negative comments about the breakfast. I'm not sure what people really expect from this morning meal, but I found the fresh eggs (from his hens), bread, jam, fruit and pastries to be more than adequate. I guess some cereals would be a good inclusion, but I was happy with what I was given.

Pros: The property itself was beautiful with an excellent breakfast on the terrace with a wonderful view.

Cons: This was the only property that didn’t accept card payments on our entire trip. Not only that but the owner insisted on payment in Euro, which is difficult given that cash machines hand out Lek in Albania.

Pros: Very clean, silent, a fantastic view from the breakfast terrace, great breakfast, in the heart of the city

Cons: Ok, there is this wall in front of the room window, however the views from the 2 hotel terraces compensate it completely

Pros: The room was amazingly beautiful and absolutely spotless. From the linnens to the waterpressure - absolutely everything was perfect!!! We loved our stay here and would come back anytime. The host is a really nice person and very helpful.

Cons: Everything was perfect.

Pros: Amazing terasse with a view on the town. Impressively restored house, its yard and rooms with lots of detail like wooden carvings. Our room Nr 1 felt like being in a castle.

Cons: Not easy to find the hotel

Pros: The owners are very nice and thoughtful. Location and view are beautiful, breakfast is wonderful and delicious. Beds are comfortable, room is clean, bathroom is also very well maintained.

Pros: A beautifully restored ottoman house with great views; excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the town; helpful people; a short walk into town down narrow lanes. Note: if you are driving, get directions- google maps is misleading about where you can drive. Car parking is on the road up to the castle.

Pros: The view from the terrace was amazing and having breakfast up there was lovely. The building is stunning and traditional. The rooms were well decorated, clean and comfy.

Cons: The room was very dark as the only window looked out onto a wall. The staff were a bit pushy and charged us for the bottle of water in the room and tried to charge us for a map. This was surprising as it was as a more expensive place to stay compared to other options and not what we had found in other places we stayed in Albania.

Pros: The terrace view

Cons: Check out time is too early

Pros: Fantastics views. Great location. Perfect hosting - the wine on arrival was a lovely touch. The room was on the small side but was as expected.

Pros: The situation is great. The view from the different terraces and balconies is incredible. The house is really old and is absolutely charming! Nasho and his wife are great and helpful. They can help you to organise.

Cons: The bathroom are really small. The access in the old town is quite sportive... but this where you must sleep in Berat !

Pros: The host family is very nice and welcomjng , the place is great

Pros: Location as well as view is great. People are kind.

Cons: About facilities it' s bad in my opinion. I stayed there for more days: no room cleaning, no fresh towel / toiletpapier. The bed were extremely hard which caused bad sleep during the nights of my reservation. Would have been nice as well if same breakfast had been served on the last day. Half of what was offered first day was gone. Worst of alle hot water for only max 2 minutes. Ik discussed it several times but without result due tot the poor knowledge of english language of one of the owners. After all I felt my irritation growing. That's why I wouldn't recommend this place.

Pros: Incredible berat vibes! Very friendly and lovely staff

Pros: Beautiful location with courtyard and trees inventively creates and with great views. Nasho and his family were kind, friendly and generous and helped us retrieve forgotten passports with no fuss and great efficiency.

Pros: staying in traditional house was an amazing experience. our room had terrace over looking the roofs of the houses bellow and the river with mature trees and beautiful fancy pigeons (they made sure that we were up early LOL). the hosts were sooooooo welcoming. made sure that we will park the car in safe place and helped us with our bags. as soon we arrived they offered us glass of home made wine and some cheese. we travel with a dog and truly considering the culture of albania, they made us feel like at home. they were totally fine with our dog at our feet around the table when drinking the wine and talking about the history and what we have to see and visit. COFFEE was served 7am!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THAT! we love to start our day with good coffee when going for a walk with our dog. there is nothing negative at all but be aware that there is no separate shower space and the whole bathroom floor and all around will be wet (they provide flip flops).

Pros: The historic place is amazing and kindness of the people too.

Cons: May be problematic to mature people due to stairs and position.No parking for cars. The hotel is not using credit cards. From many unacceptable reasons.

Pros: Beautiful traditional room, large enough for 3 people with very comfy beds. Breakfast was very nice and fresh. Host Nasho was very friendly. This place is just amazing and makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. I highly recommend staying here, it's a unique experience with character and atmosphere matching the wonderful old town of Berat.

Cons: Full size mirror in the bathroom was strange, but funny. It's quite a strange experience to see yourself on the toilet.

Pros: Very beautiful location in the old part of town, friendly and very helpful owners. Beautiful seating area in the garden next to the room.

Pros: Great place, extremely friendly and skilled staff

Pros: It is quiet and the rooms were nice.

Cons: It was a little bit far away from the city but cost more than many hotels in the old town. For the amount they charged I’m not sure it was worth the value.

Pros: Everything! The place is really nice and decorated in a traditional tasteful way. It is very quiet and pleasant with a great view over the city. The food is amazing! And I mean seriously amazing! The breakfast is not to be missed. Everything is local and fresh and organic. And most of all the staff is truly friendly and professional. They also offer outdoor activities. I did river hiking in Osumi Canyon and I loved it! Definitely the best place I have stayed in in Albania!

Pros: Beautiful castle-style hotel on a hill above Berat. The view from our balcony was superb. We had dinner on the terrace and enjoyed the excellent food and wine - we concluded that it was the best we had on our holiday in Albania. The next morning we were amazed at the choice and quality of the breakfast.

Cons: Nothing - we just wished we could stay longer.

Pros: What a fantastic place! A special thank you to the fantastic staff; especially Angelo made our stay something extra. We got to taste the very best of Albania!

Pros: The location is perfect, You are in the middle of the forest, up high in the mountains, viewing Berat. The stuff are wonderful, great service, The food is one of the best I've tasted. The building is beautiful and you feel like in a fairy tale:)

Pros: It was really close to the Old Town. If you want to be in the center with a comfy hotel, this is the place to be. The rooms were really nice.

Cons: It's on a rather busy street. Didn't really bother us though. Only downside; you can't pay by card, so we had to get cash.

Pros: It is a nice hotel very close to the main street and other turist attractions. The staff was very nice, helpful and good at English.

Pros: Excellent accommodation for travelers! Great location right in the center. The room is much nicer then picture shown. Breakfast was good, the homemade jams were delicious. It is a family run hotel. The owner was a great helper. I couldn’t fine the hotel, luckily the owner was around so she came pick me up! She also gave me lots of advise to go around the town. Even better, she called bus terminal for me to find out bus schedule for Ohrid, save me lots of time to back and forth to bus terminal.

Cons: When using google map to locate the hotel, ensure you search “ANTIPATREA hotel”. If search by address, you will go to wrong direction!

Pros: What makes a 4 star hotel a 4 star hotel? The good location, the comfortable beds, the nice shower, the friendly and English speaking host and/or the tasty breakfast? I think that this hotel is perfectly worth those stars! Thanks for the pleasant stay!

Cons: N/A

Pros: The hostel staff were really helpful, breakfast was excellent and so was the outdoor area.

Cons: The bathroom close to our room was quite often occupied, maybe one more wouldn't hurt. We had the bad surprise in the morning when we woke up and found tens of wasps in front of our room. And it was even worth in the kitchen where you get the breakfast.

Pros: This is second time we visit this amazing place. Love the location, the staff and the easy ness of this place where you always feel welcome and free. Nice work! See you next year!

Pros: Everything about this hostel was top notch. The staff was friendly and helpful. The dorm room was spacious, with large, comfortable beds, and from what I could see the private rooms looked amazing. The garden is cozy and the breakfast that they serve is way above what you would expect from a hostel. Can’t find a single thing to complain about.

Pros: Wonderful atmospheric hotel in excellent location. Short walk to everything. Not your normal sterile and standard room or hotel.

Pros: We travelled from Ireland in September 2019. The Beautiful traditional hotel. All our needs were catered for. The staff were so anxious to oblige. It was spotlessly cleaned and bedroom decorated in beautiful traditional manner. It has air conditioning and en suite bedrooms. The breakfast was self service. Ample bread, butter, cheese, cold meat, boiled eggs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cons: I cannot recall any negative aspect

Pros: Good location in center of the city.

Cons: Staff not to friendly. Beds to soft and springs from the bed you feel, so not to good sleep. Mosque early in morning for wake up.

Pros: Very nice authentic place, very nice staff!

Pros: In the middle of sentrum, perfect location. Normally we actually get a OK bed, just not this time. The breakfast looked fine, but we went to eat byrek instead.

Cons: The host: she commented on us having sex in the night. (not to me but to my fiancé) Because the bed was so so noisy, it was SO EMBARRASSING.. and not our fault, when we were sleeping we kept waking each other up, because the bed was so noisy, and not good to sleep in at all. When we came home my fiancé told me what she said in the morning, he did not dare to tell me straight away, since he knew i would be mad, sad and embarrassed.

Pros: Lovely building and rooms,decent bathroom,strong wifi,good breakfast. I would sleep again here

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff,especially Xenofon. He not only advises you expertly what to see and how to get there, he also checks upon you have you done it :). Very tasty breakfast. The surrounding (you are situated in the Berat castle) is amazing.

Cons: Everything was perfect. When you are tired and do not want to fight the steep access to the castle, the taxis are always at hand.

Pros: The location is beautiful, directly inside the walls of the fortress. The staff were friendly and did a great job making us feel at home from a welcome drink to a home-cooked meal.

Pros: Absolutely stellar. I would highly recommend for anyone traveling to Berat.

Pros: Lovely traditional hotel with modern facilities. Terrace with great views of the valley. Very clean. Excellent breakfast.

Pros: We stayed at Hotel Klea for one night as part of our 8 day road trip round southern Albania; everywhere we stayed was great, but Hotel Klea was by far the best stay of our trip. It is a small (4 rooms) family run hotel located inside the castle complex on top of the hill. From the reviews we expected it to be hard to find but it wasn’t - we came up the twisting tarmac road from the roundabout by the Lunai Oil gas station at the entrance to Berat but the proper way is up the straight (but steep) cobbled street from the town centre. It is close to the main castle entrance and is signposted from there. There is plenty of parking a few yards from the property. Communication beforehand was good - both at the time of booking and on the morning of our arrival. We were given a fantastic welcome with free drinks by Xenofon, who treated us like family and not paying guests. His parents are also lovely people, we came home feeling like we had gained some friends! The property is a traditional old house that has been carefully and tastefully renovated with lovely carved wooden ceilings. The rooms are not huge but only to be expected in an old building - you won’t want to spend much time in your room anyway, and the charm of the building makes it all worthwhile. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, the double bed was super comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water and good pressure. Excellent wifi and great views over Berat. We had a delicious evening meal in the restaurant, including homemade wine and icecream; it was served on the charming terrace at the back. The best part of the evening was sitting and chatting to Xenofon and learning all about Albania. The included breakfast was also excellent - eggs, burek, fruit, toasted bread and amazing homemade jam. The area was very peaceful and safe, and despite what others have said about lack of soundproofing, it was very quiet at night. Will definitely plan return for a longer stay some time!

Cons: The only negative was saying goodbye! Wish we could have stayed much longer.

Pros: Excellent support from the staff. Even came into town to guide up us to top of hill. Excellent surroundings and hospitality.

Pros: The best, that can happen to you on vacation. Friendly family, they running the hotel. Nice personal contact with family, especially with XENO. Grandma's Ice Cream - 5 STARS. I recommend to stay at least 2 days. Thank you all for a pleasant experience. Mateja & Zlatko, Maribor - Slovenija

Pros: Staff were all friendly and helpful. Dinner (extra cost) and breakfast were great. Hotel is within castle walls. Great experience.

Cons: The drive up to the hotel is a little scary.
