Berati Castle Hotel

This hotel is within the castle walls. However you can still get you car into the castle. Just drive through the gate and you have plenty of parking spots. The hotel is really beautiful, as its made out of the old castle walls. The room we slept in was also made out of these walls which gave it an unique and authentic feeling. Our room was the first one and it was just across the main door of the hotel, this made it quite noisy. The hygiene was good! The service was good. Nothing special but everyone was friendly. There was one man during breakfast that was friendly and keep trying to talk to guests even though his english was not that great. This was nice to see! The breakfast was more on the traditional side, but there was still some choice that we liked. What was really special is that even at night you could still walk through the castle. We made a walk around 23:00 and this is something else, it is pitch black and really silent. This made this an unique experience!

Friendly reception lady, friendly staff. The room was good, very light and airy. The hotel has a homely feel. The breakfast was average. The hotel is at the top of the castle, so well located for the castle but it is a 30-minute walk up from the town (or 5 min by car via gravel road)

We reserved at this hotel but they decided it was better for us their neighboor without any notice. The place to be honest was lovely but while playing my kids found a 2 meters deep shadoof completely uncoverd in the middle of the living room. There was no toilet paper in both our rooms and not to talk about the breakfast. You have to wake up early if you wish to find smth decent to eat. There were only left a couple of crepes for my 3 boys and instead of preparing some they blamed adult guests for eating too much. Totally unacceptable in my opinion. Worst hotel ever

I love the character of this place, but they were quite insistent that they didn't have our reservation and they had only a big party of motorcyclists. They put us in a property through a gate, which may have been a neighboring property? Once we were there, the room had a lot of character and the bathroom was great! Unfortunately, there were mosquitoes, so we couldn't let a cool breeze in and the A/C didn't have enough power for the room

Berati Castle Hotel is “my home away from home” when I visit the beautiful town of Berat, my birthplace. It should also be your away home if you visit Berat because this place and his amazing people remind you of what Albania and especially Berat are all about, HOSPITALITY. We stayed for 3 nights in August with my family and we had such an awesome welcoming from everyone at the hotel in particular the owners, Genti and his wife Efti who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Berati Castle is a new hotel but with an antique architecture which takes you back in history. Beautiful carved wood ceilings all built by hand, stone walls, historic windows and doors which make you feel like living in a small castle within the big castle of Berat. I loved waking up every morning and opening the cute wooden windows only to smell the fresh air of the pine trees. No traffic noise, just serenity and peace, so relaxing! Thank you Genti and Efti for making our visit to Berat a one of a kind! Your cute “castle” is now “my home away from home”!
