「Absolutely amazing place to stay. Very clean and modern facilities inside (aircon and shower etc).
Location is also incredible, hillside and 15 minutes walk from the main district. Although one might find it tough going uphill, which is not my concern at all and just thinking about the view you wake up to? Absolutely worth it.
It is family ran business, I had my warm welcoming and nice breakfast prepared the other day. Couldn’t be more grateful. Worth every penny.」
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Kalemi 2 in Gjirokastër! The hotel itself is full of charm, beautifully combining traditional Albanian architecture with modern comfort. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — fresh, varied, and served with care in a lovely setting.
A small tip for travelers arriving by car: Google Maps can sometimes make mistakes when guiding you to the hotel, so it’s best to double-check the route or contact the reception for directions — the staff are very friendly and always ready to help.
Overall, a fantastic place to stay in Gjirokastër — cozy, authentic, and with great hospitality!
Very pleasant young team with good English in charge of reception and the breakfasts. Terrace with stunning views. Just on the edge of the old town - everywhere easy to walk to and friendly (but don’t go for the gastronomy) restaurants. A comfortable place to stay.
