My friend and I absolutely loved our stay at Merko. From the airport transfer arranged by the hotel manager Rey from Tirana airport to each day we spent at the hotel, our stay wa made very pleasant by Rey (she also advised us re local sightseeing amd travel to other areas) and her staff especially Alaina at reception. The hotel is in a prime location, very peaceful compared to others in the area, in the centre of Berat with food places, local shops, cash exchange etc. it stands right in the centre with gorgeous views and overlooks the river and the castle at the top of the hill. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and modern. We had access to an iron which wa ever helpful. The breakfast is great on the top floor and varied each day. We loved our stay and want to thank Rey and her team for the amazing job that they do as hosts. We will definitely stay at Merko again!

Situé en face d'une mosquée ... jeune fille à l'accueil qui a du mal à se montrer aimable et qu'on voit que ce job ne lui convient pas Hotel sans terrasses, jardin en plein centre. Lorsqu'il fait 32° ... Salle de restaurant au 7° avec très belle vue sur Budrint. Petit déjeuner médiocre

素晴らしい街並の眺望

トイレと洗面台とシャワーまでオープンユニットなので床が水浸しになりやすい。スリッパは備えてほしい。 朝食時に７階のレストランから街の素晴らしい眺望を楽しめる。ただ、夏季はできるだけ涼しいうちに行動したいし、ベラト城は８時オープンなので、朝食が８時からでは遅いと感じる。
