    Super friendly hosts, charming hotel, amazing views. Highly recommended. Super friendly hosts . Climb up to Guva mangalem is not too bad thought its the last hotel on top. The hotel is character-some, nice decorated and the views from the terrace is awesome of Berat. Rooftop terrace has service for food and drinks, great place to spend the evening. We loved the stay here. Special mention goes to owner who made us feel so welcome. She even trekked up the hill with me when I managed to get my mini drone stuck in a tree on the hill beside the terrace. Highly recommend hotel Guva Mangalem.

    Nothing, all was great.

    Super friendly hosts Gabriela and her family who runs the hotel was the highlight for us. Climb up to Guva mangalem is not too bad thought its the last hotel on top. Me my wife and 2 little kids managed it easily. The hotel is character-some, nice decorated and the views from the terrace is awesome of Berat. Rooftop terrace has service for food and drinks, great place to spend the evening. We loved the stay here. Special mention goes to Gabriela who made us feel so welcome. She even trekked up the hill with me when I managed to get my mini drone stuck in a tree on the hill beside the terrace. :) Highly recommend Gabriela's hotel Guva Mangalem.

    It was a great pleasure for us to spend some nights in this very beautiful historic hotel. You can really feel with how much love the owners of the hotel have furnished and maintain their hotel. It's a must to spend some time there if you are in Berat! We can also recommend the restaurant - especially the restaurant terrace with the view over the valley! Brilliant!

    Parking of the car may be little bit tricky since the main road is full of parked cars. Also carrying all the big bags up to the hotel was quite bodybuilding.

    The hotel is the highest spot hotel on the hill, so one has the old town in the palm of its hand. The hotel is very cozy, landlord nice and views fabulous.

    Be aware that if you are walking up from the main avenue (there is no way to drive) especially with suitcases. the climb can be difficult

    Fabulous views of a beautiful city. Situated perfectly amongst restaurants (Lili, right next door, is an exceptional not to be missed dining experience) and above the main avenue. The hostess works around the clock to assure that guests get everything that they need. She deserves a medal

    From the terrace you had a really great view over the city. The owner was so friendly, offered us cold water every day and asked multiple times if we needed anything. The breakfast was also delicious, especially the omelett, homecooked and fresh from the pan! Very reccomendable!

    Hotel is on the top of the hill, so have this in mind if travelling with lots of luggage (that was my case). Also, my room had 2 glass windows on the roof that cannot be covered so from 5am sunlight just lit up our whole room.

    Fantastic restaurant and view of the city.

    marvellous location for excellent view, having a drink on the terrace is the best experience at Berat. Also in house restaurant is excellent, one good thing is after nice dinner, you don’t need to climb the steps back to the room.

    - the bathroom was very small - it’s a bit of a hike to get up to the hotel and the path is under construction (not the hotel’s fault)

    - incredibly friendly owner and family - good location - delicious food - beautiful views from property
