I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Buddha House Hotel in Vlora! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with a serene ambiance that truly lived up to the hotel’s name. The location is perfect—close to local attractions, yet peaceful enough for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend Buddha House Hotel to anyone visiting Vlora; it’s a gem that made my trip truly memorable!
