Beautiful, quaint hotel with lovely old style Albanian furnishings. Classic! We took “the best” room #3, with king-size very comfortable bed with soft linens. Spectacular long window seat with full-on view of the mountains was extraordinary to lounge in at any time of day. Had a huge private bathroom down a hall with a soaking tub and shower. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful with table service on the balcony, in the courtyard or under the trees. Friendly, helpful service. Short walk to the fabulous Old City Center. Shops and restaurants galore. We highly recommend staying here.
The road up from town tested my boldest Eastern European driving skills to the max! It was a great adventure on 2-way streets wide enough for one car!

Up the side of the mountain, close to Old City Center, a fantastic boutique hotel!

We spent one night at the Kalemi Hotel.  
It is an old Ottoman house with a lot of character and charm.  
The room is very large, very quiet and the view of the city is breathtaking.  
A very warm welcome, very good breakfast, wifi which works very well...everything was perfect.  
Only small point, a little difficult to find because the streets of Gjirokastër are quite "complicated" with a car.  
But, parking is at your disposal.  

I especially wanted to warmly thank the hotel staff : 
I had forgotten a gold chain in the room.  I contacted them and they graciously sent it back to my home in France.  
I found it in my mailbox when I returned.  A big thank-you.

A very nice address, really.

At the top of the hill and the common balconies had a beautiful view! Stunning! The service was fab as well. Breakfast was in their cute courtyard and it was simple but delicious! Even if you are vegetarian, it's not too bad! Amazing location and great views

Amazing views

We had booked Kalemi 2 in the center of Gjirokaster, but were transferred to Kalemi, situated 
more up hill, near the castle. 
Old fashioned wooden interior, lovely garden for  extensive breakfast.
The center of Gjirokaster is not accurate on Google maps, the hotel normally provides the guests with travel directions.

Quiet hotel

Very noisy - hotel nightclub on one side and bar with outdoor speakers on the other

Thump thump thump every night until midnight.  

Spoke with owner, said there is nothing that they could do.   I suggested an additional layer of double pane, which i saw used to great effect  in Paris and Berat, and he argued with me why it wouldn’t work

Noisy as heck

Visted this with a group of friends, the town is about an hour form the port of Saranda, majority of the trip is on a modern road with great scenery.  The old town is on the side of the mountain with single lanes and a very tight squeeze for vehicles. The hotel is further up the mountain, less than a 10-minute walk to the old town centre and maybe 15 minutes to the castle. We arrived early and after a conversation with the lovely lady and a mobile phone call advised the rooms need a bit more time.
The rooms are wonderful as keeping with the old style of the property with the modern comforts, the view from a lot of the rooms was breath-taking. Breakfast on the hotel balcony was wonderful, the selection for the breakfast was nice and bountiful.  Reception was helpful and welcoming. The hotel as a big fridge near the entrance with a selection of cheap beverages to buy.  
Great place to stay and visit

Character and Quality

The location slightly above the busy pet of the town is great with lice balcony on top of the building
The room was very nice with a nice view on the castle 
The service was great too with Irvin been very helpful in making recommendations/reservations and even busing some médecine for us.
The breakfast was « disappointing » compared to what we experienced  in over places enverrai if the outside terrace is lovely
If we only gave a 3/5  because of the price 100€ a night that is way to expensive compared to what we got and what we paid in over places in Albania 
Almost as expensive as France…

Too expensive

Not only are the rooms beautiful, clean, and offer great views, but the staff is exceptionally accommodating and friendly. We literally got stuck on an impassable street on our drive up the narrow streets to the hotel. We called and described where we were. Francesca, the receptionist, met us on foot and drove our car along a cleared route to the hotel. She also drove us back down the next day, and refused to accept a tip. The breakfast that was included was delicious, and our eggs were made to order. We will definitely stay here again on a future return trip.

Beautiful rooms w/ stunning views. Great location and wonderful staff.

I am not a fan of old fashion things, but in this city everything was so beautiful. The hotel had a very nice old style and while you spent the night there is like living in  a fairy tale. The hotel was clean and with good staff.

Interesting decor

The people who own this hotel now own two others.  This was the first and while the bathrooms have been renovated to a high standard the rooms themselves are small - but clean.  Staff very friendly and attentive but while the breakfast was lovely it took ages to arrive - maybe a sign that the kitchens cannot make too many coffees at the same time?  Lovely small balconies on several floors with outstanding views of the valley.   Small quiet garden.  Hotel itself was quiet and just 5 or 10 minutes walk into the 'central' area.
