Muhteşem otel
Pros:

Herşeyini beğendik, odaları muhteşemdi, banyosu gayet büyüktü, her gün temizlik yapıldı, özellikle Jıro isimli arkadaşım çok güler yüzlüydü ve bizimle çok ilgilendi, ayrıca resepsiyonda bekleyen hanımefendiler de gayet kibar ve ilgililerdi, özellikle akşamları resepsiyonda bekleyen hanımefendinin Türkçe bilmesi de bizi mutlu etti ve çok yardımcı oldu

Cons:

Beğenmediğimiz bir şey yoktu her şey gayet iyiydi

Fantastiskt läge mitt på strandpromenaden
Pros:

Ett litet, men fantastiskt fint hotell mitt på strandpromenaden i Saranda.
Frukosten serverades på takterrassen med utsikt över Saranda. ( Vackert)
Personalen var mycket trevlig.
Ett plus för gratis strand handdukar och beach stolar.

Pros:

Stayed at Hotel Lion GATE Sarande and must say that the hotel and the overall experience exceeds expectations. The hospitality was warm and the staff are very courteous. Bonus points for going out of the way to assist us with the check-in, finding parking spots in Sarande and guidance with local places to visit. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. The food is outstanding and delicious.Hotel is beautiful, neat and clean with all the amenities. Rooms were cleaned on daily basis. Highly recommend this place for a stay in Sarande, its right at the Sarande Promenade. Its situated just at 1 min distance from the bus station. Views from the hotel are Stunning.

Special thanks to Iilwa and other girls at reception who assisted us even before we reached Sarande and throughout our stay they were very warm and welcoming. Jiro was so attentive and takes care of all the guests during the Breakfast.

Also the Breakfast spread was amazingly good with really good variety, at their Terrace area with beautiful views

Room had Coffee Machine and all the amenities you need. If we are coming back to Sarande, this is the place we are going to stay again without any second thought.

Stay was amazing, staff really good needs rooftop sorting in to a seating area for during the day.
Pros:

Rooms were amazing,hotel in a fantastic location.

Cons:

Breakfast on the rooftop!
Also not the best breakfast! A bit chaotic food out for a long time.
Needs more attention to detail on food.
Could do with the roof terrace being somewhere to sit and relax instead of just for breakfast.

Great stay, great people!
Pros:

Everything was great! Very friendly and helpful staff with a perfect location of the hotel right next to all main restaurants in Saranda, easily accessible from the port. We also appreciated the attention to details and that the hotel provides beach towels and chairs. We also left with a very nice gift which we are very grateful for. Definitely recommend the hotel and hope we will also be back soon.

Cons:

Not a real issue but maybe an improvement would be that the full breakfast will be prepared at 08:00 as scheduled. Sometimes we were in a rush and some vegetables, fruits were missing. However the staff was very helpful in preparing this quick for us.

fantastic and well worth the money
Pros:

This was an AMAZING place to stay. I can’t recommend it enough. Considering the affordable price, the rooms were fantastic. Cleaned everyday with new towels etc. Bed was comfortable, balcony was perfect, air conditioning was amazing. The staff were so kind and appeared to be 24/7. We got back at 3am one morning and was easy yet felt safe to get into the hotel. The breakfast on the roof was supper convinent. The amazing reception staff gifted us a bottle of wine on our checkout, they really made the stay. The restaurant downstairs was also a plus. Our favourite accommodation during our 6 week Europe trip.

Cons:

Cannot complain about anything.

Pros:

De enorme gastvrijheid, vriendelijkheid en behulpzaamheid. Ontzettend lieve mensen. Onze kamer met zeezicht was in één woord fantastisch. Uitzicht en levendigheid waren top

Cons:

Bij de boulevard alleen openbaar strand, dus geen ligbedden en parasols. Met de taxi naar privèstrand loopt lekker op.
Prijzen aan de kust vielen wel tegen, we hadden het lager verwacht
