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 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!

Great hotel - excellent service

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.

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.

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.

Great location and one of the nicest hotels we stayed at in Albania! Room was spacious and bathroom finishings were all new. Slight disappointment that they don't turn the espresso machine on until after breakfast (pretty bad coffee), but the breakfast itself makes up for this shortcoming.
