This guesthouse has a wonderful view and is located right in the centre of the old part. It has a great garden where you can take your breakfast and have dinner, with a good vibe. The rooms are big and the owner is an interesting character.

“Quite bad experience”
Extremely cold, no heating in the room, dirty, due to the fact that the guy who runs the place is not organized at all my stay was negatively affected, I saw no breakfast even I had paid for it.

“Lorenc”
Lorenc and Kate. The room was lovely and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Kate cooked delicious traditional Albanian cuisine, the home-made wine was to die for if you like wine. The garden was atmospheric and we loved sitting here in the evenings and enjoying the local wildlife.

“Authentic”
We loved our stay at Lorencs guesthouse. Lorenc himself is so warm and lovely to chat too and his guesthouse is actually is families home. I was saddened by some of the other reviews as when booking you need to remember he doesn’t advertise it as a 5 star hotel it’s more of a homestay. If you want an authentic stay I’d recommend. Our stay was great, really good value in an incredible part of town and the food he cooks is really lovely too.

A guesthouse located in a traditional Albanian house in the center of town. The owner was very friendly and I had a great time. The breakfast omelets and pancakes, coffee were very delicious. In addition, at the attached restaurant, you can enjoy wine and Rakia made by the owner at reasonable prices. If you like alcohol, please try it.

I had a really wonderful time at lorencs guest house, it was a beautiful and clean accommodation with a wonderful atmosphere! Lorenc was very accommodating and clearly cared very much about the comfort of his guests. He had a lot of knowledge about berat and I enjoyed hearing his stories. It’s clear that this guest house had been built on a foundation of kindness and care, I couldn’t recommend it more! It’s right at the centre and you have great access to the old town and hiking trail.

I booked this place despite the negative reviews for winter is because of its location. It was very easy to find and is close to the gorica bridge. The view from the room is very nice overlooking the mangalem quarters and the castle. The room and bathroom were very clean.
