Here's the thing: I cannot recommend the Kalemi 2, but for a reason that is outside the hotel's direct control. You see, literally across the road is the Bukowski Bar, which blasts jazz and soft rock at 80 decibels directly at the hotel from evening time through to midnight. I don't know why the Bukowski Bar has to be so inconsiderate, but if you're in a room facing the bar, like I was, don't count on getting any sleep before midnight.

We had a great 1 night stay. Hotel is central to sights. First room was just as requested but neighbours chimney smoke began to blow into our room so we were changed to a lively 2 room suite thanks to Denis contacting the owner.

Hotel Kalemi 2 is a very special hotel. Our suite was in a traditional style but with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. The views from our room were spectacular. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. We were able to park right outside the hotel entrance. A beautiful place to stay when you visit Gjirokaster!

Hotel Kalemi 2 was outstanding! The hotel and rooms are a benchmark for how these beautiful ottoman houses can be restored and maintained. But more importantly, the staff was what made this stay one of my best hotel experiences ever. They went out of their way to help us and enjoy our stay in town. I highly recommend Kalemi 2!

Amazing stay!
Amazing staff - and breakfast! One of the best stays of our Albanian trip, mostly due to the perfect location, beautiful breakfast with a view of the valley - and not least the staff. We are not experienced drivers and from a country without mountains = we were NOT skilled enough to drive the streets of old Gjirokaster. I would recommend anyone who is not a VERY skilled driver to park at the bottom of the hill and not take the extremely steep and narrow one-way streets full of tourists on cob stones that you cannot even walk on because they are so slippery. BUT we didn’t know and when the car couldn’t event be parked without sliding backward because of the steepness, a group of Albanians steeped in and held the car from behind while the cousin of the car manager of the hotel jumped in and drove us the 20 minutes reroute to get to the right street to the hotel parking. The next day another car manager of the hotel drove us and our car down the hill. Amazing service! Other than that we have to hightlight the best breakfast of our trip with the most amazing views. Would definitely stay again (and park at the foot of the cobstones streets :-) )
