Pros:

Great location for the Butrint archaeological park.

The room was fresh and clean.

The food we had there was good. The staff seemed to be all family and all courteous and friendly.

Cons:

Read some comments about the rooms being noisy as the walls are paper thin. Not true, the walls are all brick! Suggest the noise was the fridge which I did turn off at night.

Pros:

L'hotel è all'interno del parco del butrint, nei pressi non vi aspettate discoteche o altro ma si respira un aria di un altra epoca e ricca di storia.

Disappointed Only good for Butrint Park Access
Pros:

The room was quite large with a separate seating area and big though very unsafe balcony
The air conditioning was quite good for Albania.
It was a short distance walk from Butrint Archaeological Park allowing access early in morning or early evening which avoided crowds and heat.
Breakfast was freshly made.

Cons:

The hotel looked very different from these photos. The trees had grown so much there was no view of the lagoon from any of the rooms or the ground floor. This did bring a lot of shade but it wasn’t what we were expecting. The outside area was littered with children’s toys, pushchairs etc… this continued inside and the lobby area was chaotic with more discarded toys, stacked bottles etc… dogs. Upstairs on the next communal area there was a washing machine and drier
The balcony mentioned above had no railings at all. You wouldn’t be safe with children at all.
The bed was very peculiar very low sunken in a leatherette frame, I think older people would struggle, we did a bit. The bathroom was very dated and floor was soaked after showering.
There was no tea making facilities , glasses or water provided.
It felt like we were staying in someone’s house with young kids who had forgotten they had rented out one of their rooms.

Pros:

Da wir vor allem nach Butrint wollten, war die Lage fantastisch. Es sind nur wenige Schritte bis zum Eingang des archäologischen Parks und wir hatten auch somit einen Parkplatz im Schatten.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und das Personal aufmerksam.
Insgesamt ist das Hotel ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, aber die ruhige Lage macht das wett.

Pros:

Das albanischen Frühstück entspricht nicht so ganz unseren deutschen Gewohnheiten. Mir hat z.B. das Müsli gefehlt. Aber wer es deftig liebt, kommt auf seine Kosten.

Cons:

Wenn man sich für Butrint und die Archäologie interessiert und später zur Ruhe kommen möchte ist hier richtig..
