Berat Hotels from $30

The Hotel Berati is built in a traditional Berat architectural style (whether it's an original, old building, or a new building built in the traditional style, I'm not sure); compare it to the 18th century building that houses the Ethnographic Museum to see for yourself. My room was very clean, spacious and comfortable, with its own balcony and a good bathroom. Despite being located just off the main road through Berat, my room was very peaceful; also, the air conditioning was very efficient, which was a major plus, given that I visited in the middle of August. The breakfast, served in a traditional dining room, was plentiful and very good. The Hotel Berati is very well located, being just a couple of minutes' walk from the river and the promenade along the river, and just a couple of minutes' walk from the beautiful Mangalem district and from the start of the road/path up to the castle. In sum, I warmly recommend this hotel and, if I ever return to Berat (which I very much hope to), I will definitely stay at the Hotel Berati again.

A wonderfully located hotel with a brilliant dining room and absolutely stunning views. It is a good walk or a car ride into town (and get a taxi up to the castle) by well worth it.
