Hotel Osumi

This is an excellently located guesthouse right in the heart of old town. A short walk to the castle (big hill climb), a short walk to lots of lovely restaurants and bars. The accommodation is basic, but perfectly comfortable and safe. The owner was extremely helpful and parked our hire car for us. The breakfast was also excellent. I would highly recommend staying if you want an authentic guesthouse at a very good price.

This boutique hotel in the old quarter of Berat was very conveniently located close to the main thoroughfare, the ancient center, and directly below the castle mount. Step out of the door and enjoy getting lost in the maze of old cobblestone streets that wind their way up the mountain side to the castle. Lots of good restaurants close by and a great view of the old quarter on the other side of the river if you have the right room. The rooms were well appointed, very clean, with functioning air conditioning, and a great shower. They have done a beautiful job of refurbishing the old wood and stone to make it very charming. The owner was always very helpful, helping caring bags, offering great tips on restaurants and things to do. We had a very solid, fresh breakfast with eggs, breads, fruit, and hot petull (an Albanian staple). Two thumbs up.

Exceptional! Friendly and accommodating host with comfortable and clean room in a lovely traditional building Nothing was a problem. Breakfast was lovely and the location was central to everything in Berat. There are two Hotel Osumi’ in Berat and we stayed at the one closest to the river. I would also recommend Friendly House restaurant which is very close by for traditional Albanian food at a good price 👍 then walk it off by going up the hill to the castle. Also rafting at Osumi Canyon with Albrafting is a must 🛶
