Gorgeous historic hotel in the Berat castle complex. It’s very quiet and peaceful at night time. Also, there are breathtaking views of the city from the grounds surrounding the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. The breakfast room is built over some old castle ruins (there are windows in the floor where you can see some of the objects that were excavated). Basically, it feels like you are living in a museum. I will definitely choose this hotel again if I return to Berat!

Some people might complain about the long, vertical walk from the city center. However, I really liked getting some exercise after dinner (before going to sleep), so this was no problem for me!

Best location ever - the hotel is located directly on top of Berat IN the castle's area. We had to drive through the castle gate at the very top of Berat where the hotel is located - this location is for sure unique. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice - an ancient room like in a castle. The area is very lively, with a lot of restaurants and little shops - quite crowded, but good local food. We enjoyed being in the castle area in the night and take pictures. The breakfast in the hotel was simply but good - you could eat indoor or outdoor. All of the castle area - churches, mosques, ancient walls - we could do in walking distance. We can absolutely recommend this great hotel!

nothing :)

This is one of the best places we have stayed. Being able to see the castle around in the evening once we left the room was very spectacular. Staff was very welcoming. The room itself was very beautiful, clean to the highest standards and the bed was very comfy. We had to leave early in the morning and we were offered to get a breakfast packed for next day which was extremely helpful and saved us time to look for place to eat on our way. The restaurant had interesting interior, food was at good prices and it was delicious. We will be definitely coming back once we will visit Berat again. Thank you for amazing stay.

This hotel was absolutely superb in every way. The staff were the kindest people who provide excellent customer service. We felt there was nothing they wouldn’t do to make our stay more enjoyable. The location right at the entrance to the castle was extremely convenient for our arrival and made it so easy to explore all of the little streets and lanes inside the castle complex. Our room could not have been more lovely and authentically Albanian. We also very much enjoyed the delicious and varied breakfast provided each morning. We highly recommend staying at this hotel.

There is absolutely nothing needed for improvement. This hotel was just great!

We travelled with a group of 4 in December and had a memorable experience. Every single member of staff is attentive, extremely welcoming and super friendly. The rooms are very clean and exceptionally decorated and the whole place which is inside the castle walls is just beautiful and offer breath-taking views of the surroundings. Rooms have all the comforts and good size with shower/toilet, include air conditioning/heating depending on the weather, TV, toiletries, towels and are and cleaned every day. As mentioned before the staff is very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of tips of what to do and see. They arranged a walking tour of Berat from Castle to the main city with a local expert and it was an excellent experience to learn the culture and history of this beautiful culture rich place . From the Castle location where this hotel is located to the main city of Berat by the Osum river is about 20-30 mins walk (depending of your fitness). The walk is quite steep but it offers a beautiful view of the town. We managed the walk a couple of times a day but if you prefer the local taxis will take you there for few euros for a less than 10 mins drive. Breakfast is extremely generous and delicious with lots of local products including cakes, savoury products, eggs and a fantastic coffee. We would always leave the table very full having tried all of their delicious offering. you can also have meals at the Hotels in their restaurant and have some wonderful prepared local food and wine and Albanian Raki :) , or you can try few other restaurants offering delicious food, located few minutes away from the hotel. I highly recommend this location and would definitely go back again. The people in this place makes it for a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

The property is situated in a beautiful location in Berat castle as long as you don’t mind hiking up the big hill when returning from town - there are lots of taxis that can get you up and down for a small fee. When we arrived there was a little confusion with our room but the staff handled it swiftly and efficiently. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great air conditioning. The staff were very kind and friendly - they were very helpful and gave us great recommendations for things to do and see.

Everything was great!

Such a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location within the castle grounds. We were in the top floor room which had slanted ceilings but big room and ensuite, if tall just mind your head! Amazing value hotel and breakfast was included! Breakfast is traditional with a choice of bread, jams, fried eggs, fried donuts, watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes and drinks with lovely outside seating. Free parking right outside on cobbled grounds in castle. Staff so friendly and even carried our luggage for us! Thank you for a great stay

Very good location inside the Berati castle. A lot of parking around. The staff was nice. The room had all the basic facilities and the breakfast was good.

The room was in the 3rd floor and the roof was inclined so it wasn’t very comfortable to get inside the bed on one side - you have to be careful not to hit your head. The bed makes some noises when you move. We also found a wasp and some mosquitoes inside the room at some point - the hotel should get something to repel them from entering the rooms and biting the guests.

This is a beautiful and unique hotel inside the castle walls. It really feels like you are staying in the castle. We loved it and felt like it was a real bargain. There are a lot of things to see around the castle so this hotel is perfectly located for that. It is a hike up from the town but we drove down and parked at the bottom of the hill. Plenty of free parking around the hotel. The staff were all lovely and welcoming throughout the stay.

A smart tv in the room would have been a bonus.

Have you ever dreamed of staying in a beautiful room inside castle walls? This is your chance, and it’s quite a unique and wonderful experience. The rooms are comfortable, beautiful, and the guesthouse itself is incredible. We enjoyed walking around the small town within the castle walls and exploring the castle ruins any time of day. The restaurant served delicious traditional Albanian food for dinner. Breakfast was buffet style and perfectly adequate, but nothing too special. Our group do 6 all enjoyed our time and we would highly recommend a stay at the Berati Castle Hotel.

Just a note that it’s on the hill inside the castle, so it’s not in the main town. There are steep trails to walk up and down to town. But we were happy spending most of our time up at the castle and the small town within the castle walls.
