Pros:

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was spacious, and we really appreciated the standards of cleanliness.

We also had a special request to stay beyond the checkout time due to running a marathon, and this was kindly accommodated without any issue.

The location was excellent, just a short 10-minute walk from the city center.

Overall, it was an experience totally worth it.

מיקום המלון מזכיר שכונת מצוקה, אחרי כמה סיבובים ברגל מבינים שכל העיר נראת ככה ואין בעיה.

Desayuno genial, cama cómoda y edificio nuevo
Pros:

El desayuno nos encantó, muy completo e incluido en el precio del alojamiento (24€ / noche para 2 personas). El pan estaba recién hecho y era un panecillo redondo de horno.

También nos gustó mucho el edificio, que era nuevo y limpio, así como la habitación.
La cama cómoda, había una neverita, el baño con todo lo necesario.

Cons:

Sí que es importante mencionar que el hotel se encontraba en el barrio de trabajadores, no en el centro de Berat. En un primer momento la zona puede causar recelo, pero no tuvimos ningún problema, aparcamos cerca y anduvimos hasta el centro para ir a cenar.
