Hotel Onufri

Très bel hôtel, l'emplacement est très bon et le personnel est très sympathique.

This is a truly beautiful hotel with outstanding service and location. I had a cheaper room without a view but even this was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The building is an historic landmark in its own right (check out the carved wooden ceilings) but its restaurant verandah offer the perfect spot to soak in Berat’s Ottoman homes.

We stayed in Hotel Onufri Berat on March 3 with our tour group (OAT). The room was comfortable but hot and there seemed to be no way to cool it down except to open the windows. But, my main complaint is that we used our Visa credit card for a simple dinner that night in the dining room. There were few people there. Our meal should have been about $25 but when we got the Visa bill we had been charged 2070 Euro. That's about a $2500 overcharge. So far we have not gotten any positive results from any attempts that we have taken to fix this. You'd think that a restaurant would have questioned a bill for 2 people that was 2070 Euro. So, be careful if you stay there!!!

Nice and clean, but the total package is limited mostly by the lack of sophistication now in all of Albania beyond Tirana. I guess we can thank Enders Hoxha who managed to take this poor country and it’s people back to the 18th century during the Cold War when he thought it was cool to emulate N Korea and China with closed borders. They are trying to catch up… Examples: - no one is at the front desk except when a group tour is arriving. Ever. No bell to ring. - One pillow only per person in bedrooms. No extras. I liberated a Libby couch pillow each night! -no safe for passports and valuables. This is really important…. - Lights in lobby and halls are controlled by switches behind front desk and are mostly left off. Not good. Cheap. -bathroom soap was an open leftover from previous guest.

My wife and I stayed here for just one night in late September, ‘23 as part of a small group tour of the Balkans. It was a pleasant stay and we would have liked to stay longer. The hotel is on a side street just a short way off the river, and it is a very attractive building in the same classic style that is the hallmark of Berat. It is very close to the scenic walk along the river and close to restaurants, shops, and historic sites. Our room (101) was very large and had a nice view of the open area in front of the hotel and the shops opposite. There was a comfortable king bed and one twin bed, two night stands with outlets, a desk, armoire, and a small refrigerator. The bathroom was large and attractive, with a shower, a stylish raised sink, and plenty of storage space on the surrounding vanity. Breakfast was served in a restaurant area on the street level, only reached by going outside and down the steps. It was a pleasant setting, but the breakfast itself is hard to evaluate because we arrived after one or more tour groups had pretty well cleaned everything out and nothing much was left. We suspect that under normal circumstances it would have been very adequate. Overall, we found the Onufri to be a comfortable and convenient place to explore Berat, and we recommend it.

Nice and traditional hotel in the old part of berat. Small shops and center nearby. Cosy. Clean. Great view. Nice terrace. Great breakfast with eggs, fruit, cheese, locka products. Friendly staff. Highly recommended if you visit beautiful berat.
