⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Perfect Stay! We had an incredible experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they were genuinely kind, attentive, and friendly. The holiday decor for Christmas was magical, creating such a festive and cozy atmosphere. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was perfect for planning our days and staying connected. The location couldn’t be better—close to all the main attractions yet peaceful enough to enjoy a restful night. Honestly, this was one of the best hotel stays we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazingly beautiful room with wonderful views and comfortable beds.

Great, character room in the heart of the old town. It was a gorgeous room and hotel. The staff was amazing, very helpful with setting up a taxi to get us to the bus station. Their breakfast in the morning was fantastic, the view from the room was incredible and we really really enjoyed our stay here

Such a perfect place to stay. The friendliest staff, great location and fabulous breakfast. Loved it

Very convenient.close to everything

A wonderful family owned boutique hotel with kind and friendly staff. Though we had to drive up a very steep hill to reach the hotel and tight parking situation, they helped us park safely. Amazing breakfast with a view on their rooftop terrace!

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.

The property was perfect. The room was very clean and full of character as it was a converted attic with low beamed ceiling and low windows that had beautiful views. The staff were very gentle and helpful.

This hotel has a great location close to Gjirokaster castle, old town and other historic attractions. It provides parking for the guests which is really ok if you traveling by car. The service and the staff are excellent hard working and professional people and very kind and helpful. We had an amazing experience- the location of the hotel is great, the breakfast was plentiful and authentic Albanian food served with kindness and hospitality. We highly highly recommend this amazing hotel in Gjirokaster.

I would recommend and definitely I will come back!

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!

Lovely, traditional hotel right in the heart of the old town.

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.

Very clean place, friendly staff and delicious breakfast

The hotel is beautiful with a great view

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.

Inside the Castle area

A bit tricky to get to but a fabulous place. Great people.

Sleeping like a Pasha with the beautiful room

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.
