I wish I could give a higher rating that five for staff and service. Not only is this a beautiful hotel with superb facilities, including a private beach, but it is also run by the most fantastic family for whom nothing is too much trouble. Saranda as a destination is incredibly safe and the promenade is stunning. This hotel just added to our wonderful holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff all speak English, it is only a four minute walk from the ferry terminal and the beds are so comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel.

Good location but very noisy

On the plus side: probably the best location in Saranda. Incredibly close to the ferry terminal, the bus station from which the bus to Ksamil/Butrint departs, the beach walk. It was also nice that the hotel had both a pool and a beach. However, hotel guests have to pay €3 per person and day for beach/poolside towels, which felt stingy. On the minus side: incredibly bad noise isolation. Whatever goes on in the room next door or in the corridor, it sounds as if it's happening in the middle of your room. As our neighbours had a huge fight this was unpleasant. We don't recommend the breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness
Place was really clean which was great and conveniently located near port terminal (4 minute walk) and plenty of dining options. It's also not too far from the main area where all the restaurants and bars are on the main seafront. It's a shame it was a noisy area as the annoying party boats from the main bay come close to the hotel from 10pm to midnight and it is loud!!!!! You can also hear other people slamming doors and talking loudly on the balconies which is annoying so didn't sleep well. Breakfast was very disappointing.....random mish mash and awful coffee.....you have to pay for the decent coffee which is insane. Rooms should also have water or kettle at least but only a fridge. Staff were ok, not the friendliest and Albania has a lot to learn generally in terms of hospitality and amenities compared to other countries. There was no bar or lunch options at hotel as it was closed so had to go out each day which we did anyway as did alot of day trips rather than staying at the hotel.

We planned a six day visit to 'rest' after a month of intense travel - but left after two days. Most of our disappointment was with Sarande itself - a very poorly developed resort town, with buildings on top of one another, rocky local beaches, a shocking amount of litter Everywhere, and a generally exhausted air to everyone we met there. Neither restful nor beautiful. We hightailed it back to Corfu and unfortunately had to 'eat' about $800 in hotel expenses we couldn't get reimbursed. The hotel itself is a very pretty property, with very nice rooms and surroundings. The manager on duty was excellent, addressing a couple of minor complaints immediately, and following up with us several times. The pool is beautiful. The season felt 'finished,' however, by mid-October, and even though it was beautiful weather there were no beach chairs set up, the beach bar was closed, etc. Also .... a friend booked and paid for a room there to join us, and 30 minutes later I told her we were leaving - yet she couldn't get a refund. Hotels blame Expedia but this is false - they can easily refund bookings, and they should have in this case.

Hochwertig ausgestattetes Hotel, sehr Hochwertige Matratzen. Lage ist toll. 2 min zu Fuß zur Fähre, 5 min zu Fuß zur Promenade. Schöner Pool, eigener Strand mit kostenlosen Liegen und Schirmen. Frühstück ist in Ordnung aber nichts besonderes. Einzig die kostenlosen Poolhandtücher sind ein 30 Jahre altes Sammelsurium an übrig gebliebenen Gästehandtüchern, da könnte man für wenig Geld etwas Aufwertung betreiben.

Quiet and in a great location. Easily walkable from the port and main promenade. Lots of nice restaurants within walking distance. The front desk was friendly during the day but gruff at night. Not always around either. The seaside was very nice with beach chairs. Breakfast was fine. I have a feeling there’s not many better options in saranda. My room was big and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea but the decor was very austere - again probably more reflective of the place than the hotel. I was traveling alone and there was no bolt on the door just the electronic key lock, so I’d suggest taking your own lock just in case.

Bonjour, votre hotel est tres propre, beau et bien situé. Nous avions une chambre familiale, les deux lits, des enfants n'étaient pas modernes par rapport au lit adulte. Je deplore aussi que nous n'avions pas de boulloire dans les chambres, comme nous avions pu voir dans les photos lors de la réservation. Merci.

Rent hotel

Det er ikke muligt at spise på hotellet andet end morgenmad og det er et problem. Morgenmaden er kedelig og personalet er alt andet end smilende og høflige. Man kan tilkøbe kaffe, der ikke er filterkaffe. Vi havde bestilt et utrolig lækkert værelse med badekar. Desværre var der kun lunkent vand her. Der var nespresso maskine på værelset men ingen kapsler. Da vi påpege dette, fik vi afvise at vi kunne få over o baren ved poolen og få en kop kaffe. De ville sørge for at købe kapsler til næste dag. Der var stadig ingen næste dag da det endelig lykkes at få fat i kapslerne var det ingen mælk. Vi gav op. Stranden ligger ud for hotellet. Beliggenheden er derfor rigtig god. Vi fik et meget lille håndklæde til standen. Dette burde hotellet lave om på. Ung pige i reception hjælp os med billetter til bussen til Himarë. Utrolig sødt af hende. Hun talte med chaufføren efter arbejde og reserverede pladser til os. Tusind tak for det. Hun undersøgte også hvad en taxakørsel ville koste herti. 160 euro. Godt vi sagde nej til dette, da den chauffør kun var ude på at tage mega overpris. Fra Himarë fik vi en pris på 100 euro fra det hotel vi boede på og i virkeligheden var 55 euro den rigtige pris.
