Pros:

I waaI was very pleased with my stay in Guva boutique hotel in Berat.
I wouldn't give a second thought to chose another hotel if I come to Berat again.

İt is a cosy atmosphere.
Tasty, rich breakfast.
Very nice Berat-Gorica and mountain view from the terrace

The rooms are clean and comfortable.

And the most important thing iş the owner Gabriela.
She is there with her full energy , sincerity and smiling face.
And, she is there to help you for any questions
I think this means more than amenities.
Finally, İ felt very comfortable and welcomed.

Cons:

Eveything was very satisfactory.
Nothing was missing.

séjour merveilleux et dépaysant
Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel de charme authentique, idéalement situé au cœur du centre historique.
La vue est magnifique et contribue pleinement au charme des lieux. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil de Gabriella, chaleureux, attentionné et toujours discret. Dès notre arrivée, elle nous a offert de l'eau fraîche, un geste très apprécié compte tenu de la forte chaleur.
Le petit-déjeuner est copieux et préparé avec soin, avec notamment de délicieux fruits frais servis avec beaucoup d'attention. On sent une véritable volonté de faire plaisir aux voyageurs et de leur offrir un séjour agréable.
Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation pour son authenticité, son emplacement exceptionnel et la qualité de l'accueil. Encore une fois merci pour tout Gabriella nous avons également beaucoup apprécié votre Raki fait maison...Merci également de votre patience avec notre petit garçon Sacha.

Pros:

Séjour exceptionnel avec mes parents dans ce petit hôtel dans la ville musée. Très bien accueillis. Hôtel situé à proximité des restaurants traditionnels et de la route principale. Une vue d'ensemble et majestueuse sur Gorica. Un restaurant sur place et également une terrasse pour profiter d'un petit déjeuner généreux.

Pros:

Beliggenheten er veldig fin, på toppen av gamlebyen. Alt er restaurert opp til det originale noko som gjev ein lun og fin atmosfære. Fin og roleg takterasse.

Pros:

I recently stayed at Guva Mangalem Hotel in Berat, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Albania. The hotel is located right in the heart of the historic Mangalem district, offering an authentic atmosphere and some of the best views in the entire city.

The rooms are clean, cozy, and decorated in a traditional style that fits perfectly with the charm of Berat. Waking up to the panoramic view of the old town and the river was absolutely incredible. The rooftop terrace is a highlight — a perfect spot for morning coffee or a relaxing evening.

The hosts are truly exceptional. Warm, friendly, and always ready to help, they make you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. Their hospitality adds a personal touch that you don’t find everywhere.

Breakfast is delicious, with fresh local products and traditional dishes. The hotel’s restaurant is also worth trying if you want to taste authentic Albanian food.

One thing to keep in mind: the hotel is located on a hill, so you’ll need to walk up through the narrow stone streets — but the view at the top makes it completely worth it.

Overall, Guva Mangalem is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Berat. Beautiful views, great location, amazing hosts, and a truly authentic experience.
