שמחה שבחרתי במלון הזה
Pros:

המלון נמצא בקצה השוק והמסעדות, מקום מצויין וצופה למצודה , קשה להגיע למלון בגלל הסמטאות הצרות והדרך בעליה אך היה שווה המאמץ . ארוחת בוקר מוגשת לשולחן ובהחלט מספיקה. הצוות אדיב מסביר פנים ונעים.

A beautiful traditional hotel with incredibly kind staff. Their hospitality made our stay unforgettable, and I would def
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Kalemi Hotel No. 2. The hotel is beautiful, traditional, and full of character, making our experience in Gjirokastër feel even more authentic.

What stood out most was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

I originally booked a room for myself, but my friends unexpectedly had an issue with their Airbnb. The hotel was so accommodating and allowed them to stay with me for a very small additional fee, which we truly appreciated.

Although we only stayed for one night, it was a memorable experience. The location, atmosphere, and exceptional service made us feel right at home.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gjirokastër.

Cons:

Nothing at all
