Really lovely hotel in a great spot. I so glad I choose to book here. Fabulous spot, very comfy beds, staff cannot do enough for you and a great addition that there is free use of sun loungers and a spa. I would highly recommend this hotel and definitely choose a sea view room, if possible on a higher floor.

Our stay at Saint Nicolas was fantastic. Every staff member was thoughtful, helpful, and pleasant. Rooms are lovely, location was ideal, and the beach is only steps away from the hotel. Himare was of course wonderful, and Saint Nicolas only enhanced our enjoyment.

The St Nicholas is hands down one of the best hotels/resorts I have ever stayed in. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Himare was delightful. The front desk staff were wonderful, booking excursions, recommending restaurants, and anticipating every need. The buffet breakfast was absolutely delicious with a huge variety of hot items, local delicacies, baked goods, fresh fruit and high end coffees. The rooftop pool and restaurant provided an exquisite view. The room was large with two balconies and a dreamy bed. The bathroom was huge with a large tub, separate shower and double vanity. We were sad to leave but look forward to returning again soon.

Clean, spacious rooms. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. The rooms and the hotel are very well maintained. Great location! The staff are very nice and helpful! The hotel has a nice small gym, saunas, rooftop bar (great music on weekend evenings with a DJ) that also has a pool, free for use. Sunbeds on the beach, free for use.

Beautiful property and the location takes the cake. Fun rooftop bar and pool was lovely, chilly, but lovely view. We loved walking out to the promenade. Room was beautiful with a balcony that we sat at often. Had a lovely tub as well looking out to the view. Added bonus was also walking across the street to the beach and having chairs available for hotel guests. Lovely time here, would stay here again!

This is a new hotel. It was a great two night stay. Since the hotel is around a year old, there are some fit and finish issues that need to still be addressed. For example, several floors had small lips or height changes when transitioning from one section to another, and the roof top area is still under construction, but staff let us know and supplied other value add services to make up for it. The gym was good as well. Breakie was included. We would recommend this hotel.

Liked: Staff & service
Although previous reviews have talked about the pool and rooftop bar, the hotel seems to be undergoing a total renovation. There is no more pool or bar, and they are literally still building the rooms on the top floor. Breakfast was only available at the hotel on my second day; the first day I was sent to a restaurant about five minutes away. Although I left a do not disturb sign on my door, someone knocked repeatedly and demanded to come in and check that I had not taken anything from the mini bar. No one came to clean my room, or even to replace the bottle of water that I was given when I checked in. This place is not ready for primetime.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit Zugang zum Meer und gut gelegen an der Promenade. Wir hatten ein sehr schönes Zimmer mit Meerblick, das alles hatte, was man erwarten konnte. Es war sehr sauber. Das Frühstück war phantastisch, es war jeden Tag ein Highlight. Es gab ein kleines Gym, aber insgesamt war der Keller mit Spa sehr übersichtlich. Der Strandabschnitt war schön und die Liegen bequem, es wurde sich gut um den Abschnitt gekümmert und aufgepasst. Hier Lob ans Personal, das ansonsten zum Teil etwas unprofessionell wirkte. Auf der Dachterrasse wurden wir mehrfach ignoriert, was bei Preisen von 13 Euro für einen Cocktail nicht passieren sollte. Die Drinks waren lecker. Die Dachterrasse war etwas enttäuschend, tagsüber heiß und kaum Schatten, der Pool unbrauchbar und für unseren Geschmack war sie etwas seelenlos. Die Kommunikation mit dem Hotel-Staff war eher schwierig, mal wurden Anfragen schnell beantwortet per WhatsApp, mal komplett ignoriert. Ich habe mich weniger als Kunde gefühlt als als Bittsteller, das war enttäuschend. Wirklich freundlich waren nur wenige vom Personal, so richtig willkommen haben wir uns nicht immer gefühlt. Insgesamt ein schöner Aufenthalt in einem schönen, aber touristischem Örtchen für ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mit viel Luft nach oben im Umgang mit den Gästen on- und offline. Ärgerlich war, dass wir noch eine kleine Rechnung kompliziert nachzahlen sollten, die vergessen wurde, was aber der Fehler vom Hotel war. Das war höchst unprofessionell.

Muito a falar desse hotel, se está em dúvida se vai ficar aqui ou não, como eu estava, não fique! O hotel é maravilhoso, tem tudo que você pode precisar. O quarto é confortável, roupa de cama incrivelmente cheirosa, chuveiro maravilhoso e ar condicionado potente. Deixam água e café (tem cafeteira e cápsulas no quarto) bem como roupão e chinelo. Amenities cheirosos. O rapaz da recepção estacionou nosso carro e nos ajudou com as malas. Assim que chegamos já me senti maravilhada com um cheiro incrível no hotel. Conta com uma piscina que apesar de pequena é muito boa e tem uma vista incrível e no rooftop tem DJ ou música todas as noites. O hotel fica no calçadão da cidade em uma localização privilegiada, na praia em frente tem cadeiras e guarda sol gratuitos, além disso pode pedir pratos e bebidas na praia que será atendido. O café da manhã é o melhor que comi na albânia e todos os atendentes são muito atenciosos e atentos. Pedi ovos fritos bem passados e prontamente me atenderam. A única coisa que me arrependo é de não ter pego um quarto com vista pro mar, seria perfeito!

Hotellet var väldigt nytt och det var fortfarande en del småfix som var kvar, exempelvis hade vi ett stort hål i taket inne i badrummet. Det var också många smågrejer som strulade så som nyckelkortet som slutade funka efter varje användning, det luktade väldigt starkt av färg i rummet från ventilationen, vår bil var inparkerad när vi skulle iväg osv. Vi förväntade oss mer av ett 5-stjärnigt hotell.

Nous avons eu une magnifique expérience au Saint Nicolas Hotel, le personnel est très avenant et aimable. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons pu profiter du rooftop avec le coucher de soleil. Les chambres sont magnifiques, nous avons pris une suite vue sur la mer. Malgré un temps maussade le lendemain, nous avons pu profiter de la baignoire vue mer. Le petit déjeuner est très complet. Les massages ont également été très agréable. Merci à toute l'équipe pour ce merveilleux séjour.
