Emplacement pratique chambre sans chichi.
Personnel agréable.

Il y avait une odeur assez désagréable surtout dans la salle de bain. Je crois de la naphtaline.

Buena relación calidad-precio
Pros:

El hotel está situado en una zona de calles muy bonitas (aunque muy turísticas con establecimientos caros).
La atención del personal fue buenísima, y el desayuno también.
La habitación está muy grande y cómoda.

Cons:

Baja señal de wifi en la habitación.
La habitación olía a productos químicos que creemos que echaron para el olor de las cañerías.
No había sábana para taparse y hacía frío. Tenían una alfombra de colcha que no podía arroparnos a 2 personas y una especie de manta pequeña con la que intentamos cubrirnos pero que decir de que no fue cómodo, era pequeña y rugosa.
Se oía roncar al dueño/uno de los empleados del hotel.
Aunque la localización puede parecer conveniente por la estación de autobuses, resulta que el autobús al aeropuerto se coge a media hora andando porque no sale de la estación de autobuses sino de Hermes Aeroport office.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were extremely welcoming and even allowed us to check in early, which was greatly appreciated. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Old Town Vlora. If you want to experience both the vibrant nightlife and the rich history of the city, this is definitely the right place to stay. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Nothing, everything was perfect.

A Wonderful Stay in the Old Town
Pros:

The owner and his team are friendly and very accommodating. The location in the picturesque Old Town was perfect.

Cons:

The bathroom is very small and cramped without a shower curtain so it floods the bathroom when you shower.
There wasn’t a blanket so I got a little cold during the night but didn’t want to turn the heating on. I’m sure they provide blankets as the weather becomes colder though

Cons:

Nothing to say

Pros:

Idéalement situé dans la vieille ville, décoration et ambiance sympathique, le café est très bon.

Cons:

Accueil basique. La salle de bain n'était pas très fonctionnelle (sans rideau de douche et un bac qui a tendance à déborder), le petit déjeuner était décevant (pas de jus de fruit, quelques charcuteries, fromage et viennoiserie industrielles ou de mauvaise qualité).

Fine stay
Pros:

The people who run the hotel are very nice. The location is good in the nicest street of Vlore with lovely coloured houses.

Cons:

The hotel was overbooked due to a problem in the booking system. We had to sleep in another hotel in the street which we liked less because it was extremely small and the staff was less nice.

In Vlore is not that much to do. But that’s obviously out of the hands of the hotel owners!
