Top!

Excellent service with helpful and friendly staff striving to accommodate any and all requests. Clean and modern, nice facilities, good parking and great breakfast. Not too many rooms or too crowded. No noise pollution. Comfy beds. Stay here and enjoy the roof top bar and pool. Located steps from the boardwalk and countless dining options.
Too bad that the ongoing construction will inevitable be blocking the view.

Great price, very clean, short walk to the beach and lots of lovely eating/drinking facilities. Great balcony, free parking out the front, -pool isn't heated, very cold, service in morning breakfast very hit and miss depending on who is working. To see the sea view you must look over a road and a building site, sauna etc only available 5-10 in the basement.

Perfectly comfortable with excellent personnel

From the moment you enter the hotel you feel welcome and important. You get a visit of your room with the Receptionnist. She explains everything: the excellent breakfast included, the spa, the roof top pool and bar. The junior suite has a great whirlpool, large bed and a splendid sea view. Quiet room for a good night sleep. Not far from the center. Excellent restaurants around notably the Yacht restaurant.

Lovely modern hotel felt very new, clean and safe. Great breakfast and coffee. Well located and easy to find. Bit of a shame we arrived in the evening after a drive over from Tirana airport so couldn’t make use of facilities that day and the next morning which was our scheduled time in Vlore we were told we weren’t able to use the hotel’s beach area so we have to pay for loungers on another section of the beach. For this reason, the hotel didn’t feel like great value for money for us. Something to have in mind if you’re only staying for one night. Unfortunately the rooftop pool currently overlooks a building site but that couldn’t be helped and presumably that building work will finish soon.

Helppo pysähdys Albaniassa

Siisti pieni hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla. Kaupat ja ravintolat vieressä ja Vlorën kaupunkiin pääsi kävellen näppärästi. Vuokra-autolla liikenteessä ja pysäköinti onnistuu helposti hotellin edustalla. Ei ollut ihan niin spa hotelli mitä nimi antaa ymmärtää.

The hotel had nice staff and can see is new. The parking needs to be addressed as you get blocked in so easier to walk than attempt to move. Breakfast warm stuff is only warm not hot but good variety. Upstairs pool is cool but not enough loungers for all and only place that looked like it. Needed a clean inside. Short walk to the beach where they had more loungers but weather was not warm enough. Would go back and stay if needed though.

Wir sind sehr froh darüber diese Unterkunft gewählt zu haben. Alle waren sehr engagiert, freundlich. Alles war zu unserer Zufriedenheit. Das Hotel ist sehr schön und der Zimmerservice top. Schön ist auch der Pool auf der Dachterrasse. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Sehr schöne Zimmer und großer Balkon.

Hallo, das Hotel wirbt mit einem infintypool mit Blick aufs Meer. Auch Zimmer werden als solches beworben. Tatsächlich ist das einzige was man sieht, die Baustelle vor dem Hotel. Am checkout tag kann man zwar den Strand nutzen jedoch bekommt man dafür keine Strandtücher oder einen Gutschein für die Strandliegen. Das Frühstück ist leider sehr eintöning. Die Zimmer waren schön gross. Das zugesagte Wasser bekommt man nicht nachgefüllt. Die Sauberkeit der Zimmer war sehr. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich.

Tolles Hotel mit sehr schönen Zimmern

Das Hotel wird am Empfang von einer sehr kundenorientierten Managerin geführt. Die Lage ist (noch) top, wir sich in den nächsten Monanten allerdings verändern. Der direkt Blick auf das Meer fällt dann vermutlich weg. Die Entfernung zum Strand und somit auch zur Strandpromenade sind gerade einmal 3-4 Minuten.

GREAT HOTEL HIGH QUALITY ROOMS

I write reviews for all hotels I stay at, good or bad, and I will always be honest. I stayed at this hotel on May 23, 2023, for 2 nights. I booked this hotel on the day, and it didn’t disappoint. Staff are polite, helpful, and pleasant; bedrooms are clean, spacious, and of high quality; bathrooms and showers are also of great quality. I was very impressed overall. The hotel is a good 3/4-minute walk to the beach and a 2-minute walk from a very good supermarket that has it all. The roof-top area with the bar and pool is a little smaller than it looks in the photos, but it’s still a great set-up, and the cocktails were absolutely great. Sunset views from the roof are sublime. Unfortunately, there is construction happening in front of the hotel, and within the next few years, once it’s built, it may make the sunset experience less special. However, don’t let that put you off such a high-quality hotel; you can just walk to the beach to see the sunset. I would definitely stay here again.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, generell habe ich auch selten ein Hotel gesehen, das sauberer war. Derzeit sind rundherum einige Baustellen, da sich die Regionen auf größeren Touristenandrang vorbereitet, diese dürften aber bald fertiggestellt sein. Die Strandpromenade mit vielen Restaurants und Bars ist fußläufig in 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Rundherum waren 3 kleine Supermärkte.
