Hotels in Berat

Known as the "City of a Thousand Windows," Berat is a living museum of Ottoman architecture, its white-washed houses climbing steeply up the hill to its ancient castle. The main draw is exploring the historic Mangalem and Gorica quarters, divided by the Osum River, and walking the cobbled streets within the walls of Berat Castle itself. You can visit the Onufri Museum to see stunning iconography or simply enjoy a coffee with a view of the iconic facades across the water.

This is a destination for culture-focused travelers, from couples on a romantic getaway to solo explorers, with a relaxed pace that also suits families. The most convenient areas to stay are in the Mangalem district, right in the heart of the old town, or in the modern city center just a short walk from the historic core. Berat is well-connected by bus from Tirana, about a two-hour journey, and having a car makes exploring nearby wineries or the Osumi Canyon easier.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 23 places to stay in and around Berat. The selection is dominated by charming, family-run guesthouses and small boutique hotels within the old Ottoman houses, offering authentic character and warm hospitality. There are also several good-value hotels in the newer part of town, providing modern comforts with easy access to the historic sights.
