This place is excellent. The food is amazing. The wine is delicious. Room facilities aren't all great. Showers tv etc. And the staff were very helpful with transport. Well worth the money and travel

all pretty good. The town where is located is quite small - don't expect much apart from a great stay!

The room was very comfortable and clean. It is very convenient to be located in the same building as the distillery and the restaurant. Very good food and drinks as well. Staff very nice and helpful. The most efficient restaurant service I've ever seen.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and really comfortable. The staff was beyond friendly, a 10/10, we’ll definitely be returning!

Newly built in traditional style hotel in rural southern Albania. Room was very comfortable with all amenities you would expect from a top hotel. You won’t find many hotels with their own distillery offering various alcoholic beverages produced in premises! Hotel has a good restaurant. Breakfast was excellent! Staff were super friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Wish we could stay longer.

The experience was absolutely amazing. The hotel was build to include a liquor distillery and it is a great experience to watch the distillation process as it happens. The rooms were very modern, comfy and beautiful. Also, the lobby area featuring comfy armchairs and chimney. The food was amazing. At breakfast, we had fresh made omelets coupled with white cheese, jams, honey and the home-made pancakes were delicious. At dinner time I would strongly recommend to try the wild boar and/or wild hare stews, super delicious. In the end, I would like to say a few things about the staff: absolutely amazing and spot on for everything. In particular, I would like to thank Entela and also all the other members. It was a unique experience

There was nothing to not like. Melesin is amazing.

Everything. Simply put, this was the most enjoyable stay I have had anywhere in many, many years. Our stay was perfect.

We loved everything from the quality of the room though to the evening meal (we chose to eat in the hotel) and morning breakfast. It would be nice if the staff smiled more, they were very professional and polite but also quite serious!

Unique design of hotel with a very nice, high quality room. An experience to watch the work in progress on the raki production from the restaurant. Well prepared Albanian dishes and wine. Great gin & raki to taste.

The food wasn't great. Just ok. The staff told us there was nothing to do in town but there are some interesting bunkers and a great forest with hikes that we found.

Beautiful place! The rooms and lobby are decorated so nicely.

That we had not planned to stay longer.

Everything. This is a classy, modern, and beautifully appointed suite. Dinner was very delicious, and the breakfast was superb. The business model, as explained by the owner, is most admirable.

Stunning hotel with cool, hip vibe located in charming, quaint village. Décor/ambiance exceeded international-based chain in Tirana. Best hotel of our trip. Quiet location, beds and pillow comfortable. Free street parking in front. In addition, this area of Albania is incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend. Would stay again.

The bathroom was part of the open space with no privacy.

I loved the style. The breakfast was so fresh and delicious.

The whole experience was fantastic. There is no complaints at all.

The entire stay at Melesin was exceptional. Everything was superb, the service, the food, the beautiful room. The staff were a lot of fun, and their dedication to service was genuine and sincere.

The hotel rooms are first class, the receptionist/bar girl was fantastic, so helpful and courteous, restaurant breakfast was excellent, we ate dinner there also which was also great. The stone building is very impressive, it’s located just behind the towns central square, easy parking on the street straight out the front. Well worth a stay overnight. The gin is also very good!!

While everything about the hotel was phenomenal, the restaurant was underwhelming. The server and I kept miscommunicating and I think she told me they could not serve me a glass of the local red wine. I was happy buying a bottle but ended up with white and took the leftover with me. And my grilled vegetables were served as slices of baked eggplant topped with shredded carrot.

Everywhere I have stayed in Albania has been clean and stylish, but Melesin takes that to a new level. The appearance is atunning. Also, I truly enjoyed the quirky town of Leskovik. The area around Melesin is absolutely bustling with coffee shops and restaurants. But there is also no traffic so it keeps it quiet. The views surround the town are awesome. As for the restaurant - the monumental space was odd on a night when only one other table was eating and I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Breakfast, served outside in the square was lovely and I had the best honey of my life.

Welcome stopover during our drive through the Albanian mountains. Very relaxing stay in a beautifully restored distillery. Lives up to 4 star rating. Good food and wine at the restaurant.

The entire concept of the accommodation, location, architecture, materials, food, and local drinks. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious, built with good taste and a bit of local traditional motives. Around the location is a beautiful mountain area, with lots of good panoramic roads.

The location is really nice and quite new. The food was good as well as the room and the gin. Would come again.

The most special place in Albania! The Times got it right to list Melesin among the greatest places in the world for 2024. Amazing, super clean & super comfy hotel rooms. Delicious food, drinks and very helpful and polite staff. And all this at the best prices.
