If you want to be in the heart of Berat, then this is your spot. It is the finest hotel in the city. It is a very large hotel with superior amenities. If you are looking for quaint little mom and pop type accommodation, then you will want to go a different direction. You can walk to most all attractions Berat has to offer from this location.

Best hotel in Albania ?

Very nice hotel. An old university transformed into a very special hotel. Can’t find anything negative about this place. Close to the city center and castle. Would love to visit here again. I really recommend this hotel if you visit Berat.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There were two large groups that arrived while I was there. Reception was totally ill equipped to deal with the numbers and so was the kitchen. Dinner was awful and breakfast was mediocre. My room was very small and bathroom toiletries were extremely limited (I had one small container for body wash and shampoo combined). And the quality of the soap was awful for a 5-star facility. The hotel lobby and outside appearance are grand. I had high expectations.

It is a 5 star hotel. It did not have several things. The price was very good. It lacked staff due to being there in November, low season. Not a hotel I would recommend. It was more like a 3 star hotel.
