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..

Pros:

Nous avons réservé 2 chambres identiques et adjacentes mais une d'elle outre qu'elle était à l'étage du bas, était minuscule, sombre, pas sécurisée (accès direct par un muret à l'arrière) , de plus un chien dormait dans le couloir et aboyait la nuit. Elle ressemblait plus à une cellule qu'à une chambre d'hôtel.

Cons:

La chambre
La salle de bain minuscule la douche inonde la sdb
Le petit déjeuner minimaliste
L'odeur de cigarette omniprésente

Cool mountain lodge-style building, great location, friendly staff, good rooms, good breakfast
Pros:

Within walking distance of Butrint Archaeological Park, this hotel is a gem. The stone and wood construction is quite nice, and the interior is pleasant. It has that relaxed mountain feel. The room rates are very reasonable.

Rooms have small balconies, which would be great for summer cooling. The rooms are large by European standards, though the bathroom is quite small. Unlike many hotels, the electricity remains on when you leave the room so you can leave items to charge.

There’s plenty of outdoor seating for the restaurant as well as some indoor seating. We did not have dinner or lunch, so we can’t comment on their quality. We did have breakfast included with our room rate (eggs prepared as desired plus cheese, olives, and vegetables in the Albanian style, and a type of fried dough ball called petulla), our breakfasts were cooked well and nicely presented.

Note the menu for lunch and dinner is a bit pricey, but Hotel Lydia is the only restaurant for several miles. The nearby town of Ksamil has many café-style grill restaurants that are less expensive but parking is difficult there.

The staff was very nice and personable. Parking is easy.

If you’re visiting Butrint, Hotel Lydia would be my first choice. Of course, if you are visiting Ksamil or Sarandë for several days as well, a Ksamil or Sarandë hotel that offers parking is more convenient if Butrint is a side trip in your Ksamil or Sarandë vacation.

Cons:

The showers are enclosed only by a curtain that doesn’t keep water off the floor, so save a hand towel to dry the floor after showering.

Note that, typical for many inexpensive hotels, there’s just one outlet by each bed so you have ti unplug the side lamps to plug in your phone charger.

Pros:

La situation de l’hôtel, qui permet de pouvoir visiter le site de Butrint en fin de journée (magnifique!)

Cons:

En pleine saison, c’est très cher, la chambre est petite, l’emplacement de l’hôtel n’est pas particulièrement joli, par rapport à la beauté des alentours (il donne surtout la possibilité d’apprécier le flux de touristes se rendant au site archéologique).

Pros:

L'hôtel est situé à quelques pas du site archéologique de Butrint. C'est le seul dans ce secteur et par conséquent le coin est très calme et apaisé (ça change de Ksamil non loin de là qui est très/trop fréquenté). Le personnel est très sympa.

Cons:

L'hôtel est un peu "dans son jus" et mériterait une petite mise au goût du jour.
