This property is hard to find. It is up an old old stone narrow road It is a real challenge to get to but when you find it you will be thrilled with its location and how beautiful it is.

Amazing stay!

Amazing staff - and breakfast! One of the best stays of our Albanian trip, mostly due to the perfect location, beautiful breakfast with a view of the valley - and not least the staff. We are not experienced drivers and from a country without mountains = we were NOT skilled enough to drive the streets of old Gjirokaster. I would recommend anyone who is not a VERY skilled driver to park at the bottom of the hill and not take the extremely steep and narrow one-way streets full of tourists on cob stones that you cannot even walk on because they are so slippery. BUT we didn’t know and when the car couldn’t event be parked without sliding backward because of the steepness, a group of Albanians steeped in and held the car from behind while the cousin of the car manager of the hotel jumped in and drove us the 20 minutes reroute to get to the right street to the hotel parking. The next day another car manager of the hotel drove us and our car down the hill. Amazing service! Other than that we have to hightlight the best breakfast of our trip with the most amazing views. Would definitely stay again (and park at the foot of the cobstones streets :-) )

Beautiful hotel located in the heart of the "old town" walking distance to all the tourist attractions. The service is excellent and the rooms are perfectly renovated.

Superbe hôtel en plein centre de girokaster ! L’hôtel idéal pour visiter la ville Le service est très bien et le petit dej sur la terrasse du haut est merveilleux

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Ótimo lugar em Girokaster

Hotel a poucos passos do bazar, muitos restaurantes, barres, lojinhas de souvenir . Também fácil de ir a pé para o castelo e museus . Difícil foi chegar lá porque o Google maps não ajudou. Foi aí que a recepcionista do hotel veio ao nosso encontro e nos guiou. Uma imensa gentileza. Tudo muito caprichado , cada lugar do hotel bem charmoso .

Hôtel très typique. Chambre spacieuse. Le seul bemol la climatisation qui fonctionne mal. Avec la chaleur la chambre est étouffante car beaucoup de tapis boiseries et plafond bas... très beau mais trop chaud. Accès à l'hôtel en voiture difficile et périlleux. Montée très très raide étroite et pavée Pour conducteur aguerri et parking idem
Joseph, 2-night trip

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.
