In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic amenities only — The listed amenities are limited to Wi-Fi, a sitting area, free toiletries, and a flat-screen TV—no pool, gym, or spa.
  • Mixed value at the price — With an overall rating of 7.3 and room rates from £48, some guests may expect more for the price compared to nearby properties that average 9.0.
  • Not directly on the beach — The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Plazhi i Manastirit and a 10-minute walk to the center, so it's not a beachfront property.
  • Check-in ends at 23:00 — If you arrive late, you may not be able to check in as the window closes at 11 PM.

The hotel was spotless, and breakfast had plenty of choice. The location was ideal—close to the beach and restaurants but far enough from the noise. Having proper parking was a real bonus.”

“The hotel felt new, and our room had a great view. We stayed for New Year's Eve, and the staff were really helpful and polite. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and breakfast was good. The location was perfect, close to the beach and restaurants, yet quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The rooftop view was amazing.”

“A great stay in Sarande. The location was excellent—close to the city center but away from the hustle and bustle. Being on a hill gave us a fantastic ocean view from the balcony. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for money, and I'd definitely recommend it.”

“This hotel is a gem. Great value, affordable prices, and attention to detail. The location is perfect—not right on the sea, but still near the beach and close to the center. On a hill, the views from the balconies are stunning. The amenities are well-maintained, and the staff go above and beyond. Breakfast includes some delicious local dishes. The hotel is quite new and spotlessly clean.”
