I cannot for the life of me figure out how this place gets so many four and five star reviews. This was hands down the worst hotel I've had the... read more misfortune of staying at, possibly ever, for multiple reasons:

The management - We traveled all over Albania and experienced fantastic customer service everywhere...except here. Everyone acted like we were bothering them with basic questions like "can we check in" and "how do we book a rafting excursion". Oftentimes the reception counter isn't staffed at all, in which case you have to ask one of the wait staff to find the reception person which also (unsurprisingly) annoys them greatly.

The accomodation - unless you are paying for their most expensive rooms, you are not in the castle. Instead you are situation in a crap shack above the parking lot that's reminiscent of a seedy motel in a 70s slasher film. The wood was peeling off the wall and the toilet moved when you sat down on it. The beds were also some of the worst we've slept on in years.

The food - reminiscent of camp or cafeteria food you get in the US, and way more expensive that the delicious food you can get down in Berat's city center.

The location - if you don't have a car it's a mile long trek up/down a steep hill and it's hard to get a taxi up there.

Please please ignore the YouTubers that are raving about this place because they clearly had their room comped and spend your money elsewhere.
