Hotel Mangalemi

We spent just one night in this hotel but it’s a very nice place. The rooms are quite spacious and the bathroom is very nice. The rooms have air conditioning which is very good when it’s hot outside. Our room was with a little and cute terrace. The breakfast is varied with salted and sweet things to eat. The room is very quiet even if the street is very close. I recommend it to you.

We drove here from Macedonia (Ohrid) and fell in love with this hotel straight away! Staff were amazing from the moment we parked outside and throughout our entire 2-night stay. Our room was gorgeous — airy, bright, and with a little courtyard. Very clean room, but some small ants got in. Amazing shower and bathroom! And so much fun décor throughout the hotel. Loved it! Note there was only one trash can in the entire room – it could definitely do with a second. Our room was also right next door to an outdoor, open square with a loud DJ on both nights, but we still slept like babies! Amazing view from the breakfast area – and oh, the breakfast spread was impressive too, with both hot and cold dishes and more wonderful, helpful staff. Note there are no currency exchange offices open on Sundays, so make sure you plan in advance if you need cash (which is preferred at most places in town).

What a sweet place. So pretty and atmospheric. Good position up a small slope and lovely views of the town from the breakfast room. Cup of Raki on arrival was a nice touch. Really friendly staff and good bar. There is no restaurant but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. My room was clean and gorgeous with its own little courtyard. Delightful place.

Our group was welcomed into this beautiful old hotel, right in the middle of town, with a glass of raki. This warm welcome was typical of the friendly service received throughout our stay. The decor is historic and very atmospheric, and the hotel also has a collection of dogs and cats (if that's your thing!) I would certainly stay here again.

The first hotel post communism in Berat. The rooms are slightly better than average. What makes the hotel is the dining. Dinner and breakfast was excellent from the delicious local specialties to the intoxicating beverages to the fair prices but most of all the attentive service. The location is central to all sights. Would I stay here again if in Berat? Yes, of course. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, of course

I can't praise my stay in Hotel Mangelem enough. One night last year, two this time and I cannot praise the stay highly enough. The owner, the staff, the room, were superb. I have travelled to many places, but in my opinion, no hotel that I ever stayed in, came close to the standard of service and friendliness, that I received in Hotel Mangelem. Thank you Valter and staff1 See you next year!
