About

Grand Hostel Berat is a hostel about a 15 minute walk from Berat's old town and castle.

Every bed has its own privacy curtain, a reading light and power sockets, so you can pull the curtain, charge your phone and sleep without disturbing anyone. We have female only, male only and mixed dorms, plus a private double room.

Breakfast is free every morning. So are WiFi, parking, luggage storage and lockers. Towels and linen are included, not rented. Reception is open 24 hours, so you can check in any time after 13:00 and late arrivals are no problem.

Outside there is a big garden, a terrace and a BBQ where people end up sitting most evenings. Inside there is a bar, a cafe, a common room with board games and a smart TV, laundry facilities and a quiet coworking space if you need to get some work done. Air conditioning and hot showers throughout.

From here you can walk into Mangalem and Gorica, the two Ottoman quarters that made Berat a UNESCO World Heritage site, and up to Berat Castle. At reception we can help you book rafting in the Osumi canyon, day trips to Bogove waterfall and the Belsh lakes, wine tasting, and bike hire.

We only opened in 2026, so everything is still new. Most people stay two or three nights.

The property was very nice, with big beds, lots of privacy and super nice bathrooms. Breakfast was nice and garden was pretty. Staff was quiet but nice. Unfortunately a bit far from main area, I didn’t love walking back at night. Not very social.
