Hotel stupendo ottimo per costare al meglio Saranda
Pros:

Struttura molto bella con personale molto disponibile e gentile! Il proprietario parlava anche italiano e ci ha spiegato molte cose. Stanze grandi e molto vaste e la piscina esterna molto bella

Cons:

La posizione è un po fuori dal centro, noi abbiamo avuto la corrente del fiume che non permetteva di attraversare la spiaggia e quindi ci voleva 1.30 per arrivare al centro di saranda ( in macchina 10 minuti)

Pros:

Hôtel situé en périphérie de la ville, loin de l'agitation de Sarande. (il faut une voiture pour se rendre au centre ville, il n'y a rien du tout à proximité de l'hôtel, ni commerce ni bar ou resto).
En bordure de mer (attention il faut traverser une rivière froide avec du courant pour aller à la plage).
Piscine agréable.
Bon petit déjeuner à prédominance salée.

Cons:

Personnel un peu froid, pas très souriant.
Literie trop molle.
Manque d'étagère dans la salle de bains.
Manque d'entretien global de l'hôtel (le garde corps de l'escalier est chancelant, douche entartrée, lunette des toilettes cassée, dépotoir en contre bas de l'hôtel).

Una peste alta, a fost ok. Am fost cu masina si ne-am putut deplasa la obiectivele de vizitat , uso
Pros:

Mic dejun bun, dar acelasi in fiecare dimineata. Au fost oua fierte, omleta, paine cu ou, cremvusti, salam, iaurt, rosii, castraveti, cascaval, branza telemea, fructe, unt, gemuri, cafea, ceai, suc de portocale, chec. Camera si in general hotelul este curat, piscina curata apa la fel. Personalul amabil. Camera suficient de mare, baia la fel. Bideul incorporat in vasul de wc.

Cons:

Hotelul la 3 km de promenada pe faleza. Pe jos e cam departe, iar taxiul costa 15 euro dus si 15 euro intors. Plaja hotelului este cu pietricele, deci aveti nevoie de incaltaminte speciala de plaja. Sa ajungi la mare, trebuie sa treci o apa curgatoare , rece si lata de 10 m. Apa ajunge pana la brau.

Iets wat gedateerd hotel met opgeknspte kamers maar de badkamers zijn vergeten, wel een redelijk ontbijt.
Pros:

Parkeren op eigen terrein.

Cons:

Omdat het einde seizoen was werd alles opgeruimd. Geen bedjes op het strand, per dag minder bedjes bij het zwembad en toen we vertrokken was zelfs het zwembad al leeg laten lopen.

El peor hotel de albania
Pros:

Una de las peores experiencias en un hotel, la habitacion sucia, llena de pelos, mal olor, lo peor que hemos visto en un hotel,es increible que sea de 4 estrellas, es imposible, y al quejarnos de la suciedad, el dueño se puso chulo , sin aceptar critica alguna. con lo facil que hubiese sido que se disculpara y no dijera que debia ser un error y que pasarian a limpiar. Es mas, cancelamos de mutuo acuerdo las noches restantes con el compromiso de devolucion del dinero el lunes(ya que era sabado) y nos han estafado, ni booking ni el hotel ns develve el dinero, una lastima despues de tantos años confiando en booking. una frustracion total.impotencia y rabia.

Cons:

Sucio, mal olor, el jefe un chulo de tres al cuarto.Apropiacion de importe .

Worst hotel I’ve stayed in for years.
Pros:

Nice clean pool area, balconies with a sea view with awesome sunsets

Cons:

Everything else, breakfast was poor, same every day with nothing changed. Had to keep asking staff for toast & hot water as these weren’t on the food tables. Consequently toast was hit and miss. Staff were rude, surly. The young receptionist is the most unhelpful receptionist I’ve ever encountered. Even when my wife had an urgency to see a dentist she said she couldn’t call a taxi as her sim wasn’t working. There were 5 other members of staff sitting around. Surely she could have asked one of them.
Breakfast staff were rude & unhelpful maybe a language barrier.
They advertise this hotel on their website as “on a private beach, with fully furnished balconies.”
The beach is public with debris all over the place & the balcony has 2 chairs only. I asked for a table but none were available. Absolute nonsense. No kettle in the room or welcome bottles of water in the fridge.
This hotel is 2 star at best, but I would generally avoid. Had to walk 20 minutes to nearest restaurant as nothing nearby according to rude receptionist. Although hotels next door did evening meals z& other food during the day.
Dodona only served pizza at night & lunch menu was generally inedible.
The areas around the pool had pillars that have fallen in a storm in July, you’d think they would have got these removed, as it adds to the general degradation of some of the areas.
The beach was stony & rocky & to access the sea, you had to cross a freezing cold river that runs into the sea, which can be quite strong at times. If you are not quite fully mobile this would be a real challenge.
Avoid this hotel, it’s awful.

Fantastic place with great views and caring staff.
Pros:

The hotel feels special in a good way, it is family run and you can sense the care and devotion. The location was great right by the sea with amazing sunset views. Breakfast was also very good!

Cons:

Wish access to the main beach was easier but the cold river plunge to get there was quite refreshing.

Pros:

Schöner Blick auf die Bucht von Saranda.
Schöner großer tiefer Pool.
Frühstück solide.

Cons:

Leider hat sich das Flussbett geändert, daher musste man durch den kalten Bergfluss zum Strand laufen. Keine Liegen und Schirme am Strand.
Hotel ist insgesamt in die Jahre gekommen und benötigt an einigen Ecken eine Renovierung.
