The location of the Kalemi 2 cannot be beat. You are in the most atmospheric part of Gjirokaster, with a gorgeous deck overlooking the valley & up to the castle.
We booked a large view room which was outstanding. Beautiful touches: the high wooden ceiling is a work of art. Tall windows with nice drapes, a stone wall: very atmospheric.
Views on three sides: castle, valley, deck.
The hotel doesn't have elevators & the room was two flights up but IF that's not a problem, then it's excellent! And a young man helped us with our luggage up he stairs.
Right off our room there was a great deck with half a dozen tables - perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the views.
Bed and bedding were very comfortable.
Bathroom was nice: good size shower & good pressure. A quibble: just 3 plastic hangers?
Breakfast was traditional Balkan with 2 kinds of cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, peppers, bread, honey & the most wonderful fig jam, coffee, juice, tea and eggs made to order (served with Albanian sausage).
Staff were helpful and very nice.
ONE caution: Friday & Saturday nights, you're in the heart of the Old Town & music goes until midnight - 12:30. So that means the room that has great views on 3 sides also has noise from at least 1 side.
Loved our stay.
