Bien
Pros:

L’accueil était agréable. L’hôtesse était souriante. La femme de ménage également. Nous avons été coincé dans les bouchons et l’hôtesse a était compréhensible sur notre arrivée plus tardive.
Il y a une mosquée tout près.

Cons:

Le lit grinçait beaucoup c’était désagréable. Les murs ne sont pas bien isolés on entendait les clients des chambres voisines.
Le ménage n’était pas fait complètement seulement le changement des serviettes et le lit de fait. Il y avait une forte odeur d’égout, surtout dans la salle de bain.
L’hôtel se situe dans la vieille ville qui est jolie pour balader mais il est assez loin des lieux importants (de la corniche, plages etc..)

Super établissement!
Pros:

J’ai passé une nuit au Buddha house hôtel au mois de juin. L’ambiance était assez particulière, parce que j’étais le premier client de la saison (et le seul pour tout le bâtiment. J’ai été très chaleureusement accueilli par la personne sur place qui était entièrement disponible, et m’a préparé un petit déjeuner sur mesure, tout n’étant pas encore opérationnel pour la saison. La chambre était propre et l’établissement de caractère est au cœur de la « vieille ville ». La distance avec le front de mer peut faire peur à pied, mais c’est finalement facilement accessible. Je recommande cet hôtel pour un stop (ou un séjour) à Vlorë!

Cons:

Rien!

Best experience
Pros:

The most beautiful experience in the city of Vlore. The room had a fantastic view overlooking the old town of Vlore. I also loved the traditional local details and decorations inside the room, as they gave the place a very authentic and cozy atmosphere.

The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was amazing, offering delicious traditional food as well as many other options. The owners and staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and always available to help with anything we needed.

I would definitely come back again

Had an amazing stay at Buddha House Hotel & Cocktail Bar. Perfect location in Muradie near the Old Town, close to everything and with a great atmosphere. The rooms were very clean and modern, and the staff was extremely welcoming and professional. The cocktails were excellent and the evening vibe was perfect for relaxing. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Vlora. Highly recommended!

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.
