Hotel Kalemi

The Hotel Kalemi is located at one of the highest spots in Gjirokastra and offers one astonishing view from the balcony. The host was very kind and spoke English very well. Our room on the second floor offered enough space for two people and one of the biggest bathroom we've seen so far in Albanian hotels as well as a nice view at the castle and the mountains. The extensive breakfast can be enjoyed ether inside, at the garden or the balcony. We went for the latter and had which was an amazing experience. Since the town is, due to the steep cobblestone streets, nothing for inexperienced drivers, we were happy to park our car in one of the free parking spots right in front of the hotel. We would definitely recommend this place for tourists of all kind due to the close distance to the castle and the charming old town.

Cozy hotel, wonderful breakfast and a staff who work very hard to make their guests comfortable and happy.

Very nice hôtel, very nice place ,nice people at the reception and the Manager is amazing !

Excellent breakfast in the beautiful garden. The staff is very friendly. Nice view from the terrace. Perfect location.

Outstanding hotel with outstanding service. Book early and ask for room 6 with (again) outstanding views. Excellent breakfast and if you're lucky you'll have breakfast on the balcony overlooking those (outstanding) views. The Kalemi is close to all the attractions. May be a little hard to find at first but just Google a map. It's the best hotel and best value in Gjrokastra. Can't wait to stay there again (and again).
