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.

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:

Die Lage als Ausgangspunkt für die Besichtigung von Butrint ist perfekt.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist "in die Jahre" gekommen. Insbesondere die Bäder sind renovierungsbedürftig.
Ausblick aus dem Fenster: ein riesiger Müllberg aus Sperrmüll !!!

Great location/stay for the Butrint site
Pros:

A wonderful location for nearby the Butrint archaeological site which was great to go round. We got there by driving over the nearby river on the ramshackle chain ferry which was great fun. We have only done a similar ride once before (in Spain). I bet its more reliable than the joke one in Cowes, I.O.W.! The staff were friendly at check in and the meals. There is nowhere else nearby to go so be prepared to eat and drink at the hotel. That was fine although the beers were the same price for their 33ml bottles as others charged for the 50ml. I think my basic grasp of economics explains why! We liked dinner and breakfast. TV not good - see below - but the wifi was fine so we could listen to Radio Caroline's internet broadcasts and check emails. We had the end, dual aspect, room, on the top shared balcony, and sat outside there when we were back at the hotel. Dinner was a bit chaotic with the family and their young child eating there as well but we found that interesting! Folk wanting a quiet meal would need to drive elsewhere.

Cons:

Never did seem to get the TV to work very well!

Wunderbares Hotel an den Ruinen
Pros:

Viel besser als erwartet!
Die Lage ist toll- und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr gut!
Bei unserem Aufenthalt waren nur wenige Übernachtungsgäste da- und das ganze Familienleben der Gastgeber spielte sich im Gastraum ab. Sehr sympathisch:)
Das Frühstück war unglaublich viel und gut!
Das Personal war sehr nett.

Cons:

Die Badsituation ist etwas schwierig- keine Duschabtrennung und alles etwas wackelig.
Es war nachts kalt, die Decke etwas zu dünn.

Pros:

Die Lage ist das einzig wirklich Gute, was erwähnenswert ist - wenn man an der archäologischen Ausgrabung interessiert ist, die 5 Min zu Fuß um die Ecke liegt. Die ist allerdings wunderbar, eine kleine Halbinsel, sehr viel zu entdecken und landschaftlich sehr schön!

Cons:

Das Hotel ist ziemlich runtergerockt, die Betreiber eine zwar sehr nette Familie, die sich bemüht, die aber ein ziemliches Chaos überall machen ...fast schon etwas Verwahrlosung. Das Zimmer war soweit sauber und in Ordnung, aber ehrlich gesagt waren wir froh, dass wir nur eine Nacht bleiben mussten. Ach ja - ggüber vom Hotel ist direkt ein Busbahnhof, ab 10 Uhr wird es voll, dann kommen in Strömen die Besucher der Ausgrabungen.

Good for a short stay when you want to visit the Butrint park / archeological site
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and the meals were decent (breakfast / diner).

Cons:

The room that was appointed to us had a terrible view (look out on a filthy terrace / backyard). The bathroom had a smell coming from the drain. The hotel was noisy and everything could be heard through the thin walls.

suffisant pour une nuit l'hôtel mériterait un bon rafraichissement exterieur
Pros:

le cadre ,proche du site archéologique,l'amabilité du personnel,petit déjeuner correct,la chambre,le jardin autour de l'hôtel

Cons:

le bruit, notre chambre était au dessus des cuisines ,la hotte aspirante des cuisines faisait un bruit infernale,heureusement elle était éteinte la nuit,le parking soi disant privé ,envahi par tous les visiteurs du site de Butint,difficile de trouver une place.
