Not worth the price
Pros:

Location was central

Cons:

The biggest issue was a strong musty, mildewy smell in the room that seemed to be coming from the bathroom. It smelled like there was no proper P-trap, and the odor was strong enough that it lingered throughout the night. At times, it smelled like rotten eggs, which made it very unpleasant to sleep in the room.

The rooftop bar was another disappointment. When you check in, you’re told that you receive a “free shot,” but they conveniently leave out the fact that you have to purchase a full-priced drink in order to get it. That itself wouldn’t have bothered me, so I purchased a drink. Unfortunately, the drink was extremely watered down and unbelievably sweet. I was shocked by how sweet it was and ended up leaving more than half of it.

Very Good
Pros:

Loved the location, the view from my balcony was fantastic, my balcony was large and my room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and pillows The hotel staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I was notified when booking about the noise from the roof top bar. This was not a problem, the other guests when returning to their rooms were very very noisey.

It was good
Pros:

Location and clean room

Cons:

Breakfast was limited and the visitors coming from the hotel takes different food than the ones coming outside. For example pancakes came in small bread like portions that don’t look like the usual pancakes.

Bon emplacement en plein centre de Saranda
Pros:

Le personnel très accueillant et toujours à disposition pour des renseignements.
Mention spéciale au papy qui s’occupe du parking, toujours souriant !

L’hôtel est situé en plein cœur de la ville. À deux pas du bord de mer et des restaurants/bars.

Cons:

Les places de parking ne sont pas dans l’hôtel mais à quelques rues et payantes (10€ par jour).
Le parking est situé au fond d’une impasse et nous avons eu plusieurs fois du mal à y accéder car les habitants du quartier se garent dans la ruelle étroite.

La localisation de l’hôtel est assez bruyante en haute saison (rooftops, ruelles passantes, sifflets des policiers qui s’occupent de la circulation…)

Lovely hotel, perfect location
Pros:

It's a really beautiful space! I was very happy with my stay. Lovely hotel with character, kind staff, and stunning views of the harbor. I was happy to have a balcony and a large bed. The location is excellent... close enough to the promenade for convenience, but far enough up the hill that it's not so loud or crowded. Also, the hotel smells so good!

Cons:

The shower was a little wonky but not a huge problem.
