Modern shower with built in toilett

Well. The toilet was placed in the shower cabin.You had to be an Acrobat to get in there. A glass wall towards the toilet made the toilet Perfect for left handed, on the right side was the glass wall. As the toilet was inside the shower made out impossible to keep the toilet paper there. What a joke. Unbelivible. I asked them in the reception for another room but they told me all was the same. Shower with built in toilet. My friend little fatter than me had to xxxx in the lobby toilet. We had a double bet taken apparat to two singles and so soft when you turned you almost fell on the floor. We stayed 2 nights but that was one to much. A very different experience

Front desk and restaurant people were great and helpful. The beach section look sooo sad in the off season. Didn't know about the small playground on the beach in front of the hotel. Only one for miles (can get noisy). Room were nice and clean. Putting two single mattresses together doesn't make it anything else than 2 single beds. Stop selling that stuff as a double/queen or king bed. Parking and wi-fi were good.

Very poor customer service

Arrived at the hotel to be told there was a power cut. We waited 4 hours without air-con, lights or running water. Eventually decided to book a hotel in another city & as we left hotel the power came back on. We were refused any sort of refund, even partial. Disappointed as hotel couldnt provide the service they advertised yet no hint of any compensation

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

A mixed experience

Albanian service generally was difficult to get the hang of. Oftentimes, the people working the reception seemed very confused, and were watching videos on their phones or taking private calls while servicing you. Same goes for the waiters at the breakfast buffet, who seemed very indifferent and didn’t bother coming down to take our drink order; oftentimes, we would wait almost an hour for our morning coffee… The cleaning staff were super friendly, but forgot to bring new towels every day. The hotel room itself seemed strange; there was no shower curtain, so the entire bathroom seemed to be inflicted with fungus from being flooded with water. Also, the “beds” (one of which was a fold-out-chair) were very uncomfortable! And the breakfast buffet was almost inedible. I think the hotel has some things to work on, but the intention seemed good - and their location was spot on!

Bel hôtel chambre avec balcon vue mer mais dès le départ (et jusqu à la fin de notre séjour de 7 jours) la climatisation ne marchait pas puis 2 jours apres nous ne pouvions pas accéder à notre chambre avec la carte (nous avions une clé) et le lavabo était en partie bouché ! Tous les soirs musique jusqu a minuit donc très bruyant !
