Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Kalemi

Stayed family room. Roomy and clean. Feel like back to the past of Ottoman era that is decorated with. located near Old town 5 mins away. Parking place privided in the property.

Was upgraded to the second hotel of the group in the city. Only problem was it was hard to find, because a road was closed. A hotel employee found my car and took me there. Great service!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Hotel Kalemi. Staff were delightful, kind and went above and beyond and we enjoyed the local doughnuts provided at breakfast and the freshly made eggs in the morning. Highly recommended!

Lovely traditional building. Great breakfast in the garden. Large room. Driving to the hotel can be challenging

The location was superb. Its right in the middle of everything you want to see and do. The staff (Irving and Denis) were outstanding.

Spent two nights here. It's a beautiful old ottoman house. It's located near the bazaar which is where everything happens in Gjirokastër. Like all over Gjirokastër it's up a very steep hill. Our taxi driver from the bus station couldn't drive up on the first few attempts. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast is fine. It's served in the garden. Each table receives a tray of tea, coffee, juice, bread, jam, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese and watermelon. There is then an option of eggs cooked to order. Didn't have much interaction with the host. He confirmed the time of the bus to Berat and ordered a taxi to the bus stop.

Good breakfast. Friendly staff

Beautiful little boutique hotel . All furnishings are set in a traditional manner. Beautifully renovated bathrooms for modern conveniences. The view from the room or balcony is stunning. Staff is friendly and helpful. Walking distance to bazaar, a large variety of bars, cafes, and restaurants and of course the castle. I highly recommend this quaint little place.

Wonderful hotel in the old town. The staff are attentive, informative and friendly. This place defines what accommodating guests is all about.

Amazing service! Irvin was so helpful, provided such good information, and went out of his way to ensure guests had the best experience. Great rooms with a great view. Highly recommend!

Old Ottoman style hotel and wonderful staff. The only weak point is too slow (/poor) wifi signal. Wonderful view and easy parking which is a real challenge in busy Gjirokaster [especially Summer time!]

Beautiful views of the city, a comfortable room, nice breakfast. I only stayed one night and wished it had been longer. Authentic Albanian decor and helpful service. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing place. Beds super comfortable. Staff excellent. Well worth going out of your way

The hotel is situated in an old restored Ottoman house, and our room was exceptionally beautiful (in former times it was the bridal room). The breakfast is very pleasant under a pergola, and it's a huge breakfast they prepare and try to accommodate all your wishes. The view from the room is wonderful, to the mountains and to the old and new city parts - as well as the castle. Very much recommended for Gjirokaster visit, as it's also very close to the Bazar and old center of town.

Beautiful traditional hotel, stunning setting. Friendly, informative staff with local knowledge. Delicious breakfast.

It is situated in the hart of the old town, so almost all sites are at walking distance

Hôtel à 5 mn à pied du bazaar . Petit déjeuner copieux Personnel agréable . On se sent comme dans une maison de quelqu’un . Arrivée en voiture compliquée : rue très étroite et cabossée et en pente .

Ottimo servizio e sistemazione

Magnifique séjour dans un hôtel typique. Belle et grande chambre, personnel très sympathique, parking gratuit, très bon petit déjeuner que l'on peut prendre sur la terrasse ombragée, et à proximité du centre sans être trop proche pour ne pas subir le bruit.

Personnel sympatique, une belle demeure. Un calme qui ressource l'esprit. Le petit dej au top comme le reste
