Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The only negative comment I would make is that the hotel does not have a separate bar area, and you cannot get a drink past 10.30 - on a Saturday evening 😟
Stunning hotel looking over Berat. The staff were so helpful, and when we had an issue with our shower it was fixed within 10 mins of reporting it-5* service
Breakfast was a classic self-service buffet each morning, simple but delicious.
We also had massages in the spa. The service quality was superb. The spa was lovely and I imagine it will be a great facility when fully opened.
However our room was on the first floor just above the restaurant which meant we heard music from the restaurant 7am-11pm everyday.

This hotel was perfect! Highly recommend especially if you are looking for a hotel with western amenities and standards. The restaurant is also delicious. The value far exceeds the price.
Great hotel, large rooms, easy walk to the main area of Berat. Only negative would be that u have to pay extra to use the pool, price does however include a drink. Hotel is still good value for money.
After staying here I feel a bit bamboozled by this property. Check in is listed at 1pm and when we arrived at 4:30 we were told our room was not ready but that it should only be about 15 minutes. After an hour it was still not ready and when we went to ask about the status we were told it was cleaned only to go up and find it was still dirty. We finally got into our room at 6:30, a full 2 hours after we arrived and 5.5 hours after the listed check in. The front desk person was kind and comped our dinner.
Online it showed there was an indoor pool only to arrive to an outdoor pool, which required an extra charge and reservation. We inquired about laundry, and we’re told that it wasn’t available. We were fully expecting laundry at this hotel as listed. We inquired about massages at the spa, but were told that they would have to check on the massage therapists availability. They never did and it seems weird that they would only have one massage therapist for an entire hotel. This is certainly not what I would expect at a 5 star hotel. And I certainly didn’t expect to feel nickled and dimed at every turn.
When arriving there was also no one to greet us and tell us where to park which was a bit bizarre.
The breakfast was fine, but again, not anywhere near a 5 star hotel.
Breakfast is typical Albanian. Unfortunately it is not 5* standard. Can’t cook an omelette or fried eggs. They are all cooked extremely well done and friend eggs placed on top of each other like pancakes. Another surprise is that the pool area is chargeable at €10 per person. When I asked the reason they said it cost them a lot of money to maintain the pool so they charge. Never seen this in a 5* hotel. Overall good compared to the price I paid
We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Colombo which we chose predominantly due to the ample and easy access parking facilities available. The property is within 10mins walking distance to the historical town centre along a pretty cobblestone promenade. We stayed in a Junior Suite which was very spacious and had incredible modern facilities, I would suggest this room is absolutely worth the extra dollars. The outdoor pool which appears to be close to completion will be a very positive addition to this property, especially in the summer heat. The only issue we had with the hotel is the breakfast service, due to the large number of coach tours that appear to stay at the property the breakfast buffet was lacking in quantity and was not refilled regularly. We attended some time after the coach tours had departed but still well before the end of service and the buffet was not replenished.

Big impressive hotel.no indoor or outdoor pool available
Outdoor not finished being built and indoor pool cleaned but no water! Very disappointing.
Aircon went off after an hour throughout the night which meant waking up hot several times as it 36c!
Lovely breakfast and choices
Quiet and good position to walk into town to restaurants cafes bars.
Berat and Albania are amazing, but please stay at a different hotel!!
This hotel has no regard for its guests and I’m not sure how it is classed so highly.
We returned to our room after dinner out in town to the sound of loud music. Upon enquiring at reception we were told that there was a ‘last minute’ private party in the top floor function room and it would be going on until at least 1:30 am. We were offered a room on a lower level, but as we could hear the music in reception and it was past 10:30pm we didn’t feel like packing and moving rooms.
The music finally stopped at 1.45am, but the guests then moved to the terrace outside and continued loudly until past 3am. Again no regard shown by the hotel for paying guests trying to sleep.
We complained at reception again when checking out the next day, as their handling of the party was inexcusable. An advanced warning earlier in the day and the offer of moving rooms might have been ok. The lady on reception had been ordered to refuse any kind of refunds and the manager refused to come and speak to us about the incident.
Apart from this there are plenty of other reasons for the rating of the hotel:
- Average breakfast buffet with little labelling and overcooked food
- Waiting staff that clear your table and food you are still eating when popping back to the buffet to get something. They even removed some personal items from the table!
- I could go on, but I am only allowed 1500 characters!
