Hotel Klea

The Hotel Klea restaurant was fabulous and located on the top of the spectacular hill within the castle’s ancient walls. The restaurant itself was outside, a beautiful ambience with lots of greenery and a charming son-of-the-owner to chat to! The food was traditional Albanian and fine.

Kseno is a host with the most! Very informative, helpful, generous and witty. We ate here late one night and could have been turned away but instead were made to feel incredibly welcome…so we came back the following day too! The hotel itself was clean and the food was great. Highly recommend!

Possibly the nicest place I have ever stayed. Was doing a driving trip around the Balkans and had been to Berat 4 years ago and eaten here and promised myself I would go back and stay, It did not disappoint. We had a lovely dinner and one of the best sleeps I had on the holiday. The breakfast was lovely and we had it in the rose garden at the front. If you can stay in room 104, literally the best view you will ever have while sitting on the toilet! Shout out to Kseno the host who treated us so well, a real gent. Also, the price was bonkers you could charge twice the price to stay here and it would still be cheap! I will be back.

Lovely guest house in Berat Castle. Very charming, helpful and friendly owners who were also happy to make recommendations and book taxis etc (for example they booked a taxi to Nurellari vineyards, and recommended reliable operators for other activities), very clean, comfortable and good food. We had a delicious lunch and breakfast was exceptional, must try their 'nougat ice cream' ..Wonderful terrace for dining on when weather allows. Only 4 (?) rooms in the main house and possible 2 in an annexe. Do be aware the 4 rooms are close together, so guests do need to be resonsible in terms of noise levels. Great stay and books up very quickly, thoroughly recommend !

We stayed here for one night in May 2022 and it was a great choice. The hotel is located inside the castle and has a great entrance leading upto it. Xenofon, the host is very friendly and got us settled right away - Suggested we visit the Onufri Museum while the room was setup. We came back to have some delicious lunch in the very pretty rose garden . Food was wonderful - our first introduction to traditional Albanian Cuisine which we loved. The room was great - clean room , clean bathroom , great hot water. Staying inside the castle has it's advantages - like seeing the viewpoint at night - it was better than the day time view ! Breakfast was sumptuous , again my first introduction to Caj Mali which became an obsession for me during the trip. Great location, Great host, Great food - will recommend!

Lovely little inn, traditionally decorated, in enchanting Berat. It’s all about location : waking up inside a castle doesn’t happen every day and we made the most of it in this charming place. Simple room, nothing fancy, yet filled with character. Breakfast was wonderful, freshly cooked to your liking. Most recommended!
