The place was good enough for the money, 15 minutes walk from the Sarandë center / bus stop, which is big disadvantage if you want to take a taxi they would charge you a lot. But it’s calm and not far from a rocky beach. The amenities are clean and good. Balcony was nice specially morning view of the sea. Considering it’s blocked by trees and buildings. The area is quiet and you can sleep nicely. The bed in the bedroom is comfy however not ventilated so you would need to turn the AC a bit earlier to keep the apartment cool. PS no washing machine and the owner would charge you for each wash.

I recently spent six nights at Hotel Julia in Sarandë with a friend, and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The hotel is run by a lovely family who went out of their way to be helpful and welcoming throughout our visit. Our room was spotless, cleaned daily, and had a beautiful view from the balcony—perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was excellent every morning, very generous portions, and served in a scenic setting. The location is ideal—close to the beach and city center, but still quiet enough to relax. Most of all, the staff were amazing. Their hospitality made our stay truly special. I highly recommend Hotel Julia and would definitely return!

An excellent stay – highly recommended! Hotel Portanova exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Although communication in English was a little limited, everyone was incredibly kind, helpful and always willing to assist with a smile. The hotel was exceptionally clean. We checked in early on 25 June, slept for just a couple of hours and went out. When we returned, our room had already been cleaned and refreshed, which really impressed us. The attention to cleanliness throughout our stay was outstanding. The atmosphere feels warm and family-run, making you feel more like a guest than just another visitor. Breakfast was another highlight – everything tasted fresh, homemade and carefully prepared. It was the perfect way to start each day. The only small downside was the language barrier, but it never affected the quality of the service or the kindness of the staff. I honestly can’t give this hotel anything less than 5 stars. If you’re looking for a clean, welcoming and comfortable place to stay in Sarandë, Portanova Hotel is an excellent choice.

Una vera chicca con cibo e panorami fantastici. Siamo stati contentissimi di aver scelto questo hotel. È tutto nuovo, pulitissimo e c'è un'atmosfera di pace e relax fantastica. Siamo rimasti davvero contentissimi del ristorante dell'hotel. da italiani , siamo sempre un po scettici hahaha....Abbiamo cenato lì una sera e il pesce fresco era eccezionale. Anche la colazione a buffet è stata super, con un sacco di opzioni locali e fresche. Le foto della piscina sono 100% realistiche ( giustamente viene il dubbio ma sono assolutamente come da foto): cè un'incredibile piscina a sfioro con un idromassaggio proprio accanto, e tutto con vista sul mare e un'altra piscina normale che non è gigante ma è bellissima perche puoi nuotare, rilassarti e amirare il panorama e il tramonto da li. La nostra camera era spaziosa, moderna e con un balcone privato, intimo e senza alcun rumore e anche li ci siamo  goduti il panorama. Non è da meno il servizio. Lo staff è davvero gentile e professionale. Un grazie di cuore a Florian e Johana (spero di aver scritto giusto i nomi) per essere stati così disponibili dall'inizio alla fine. Ah, una nota importante: prima di prenotare avevo letto qualche recensione su Google che parlava della strada per arrivare, dicendo che era orribile e pericolosa. Onestamente, mi sembrano molto esagerate. Sì, la strada è in salita, ma è assolutamente fattibile e in cemento e bastava andare pianino. Non lasciatevi spaventare da questo, perché la vista e la tranquillità che si hanno da lassù valgono tutta la salita! Non possiamo che raccomandarlo!

Our stay at Hotel Havana in Sarandë was overall very pleasant — the location is great, the atmosphere relaxing, and the staff kind and welcoming. We enjoyed our time there and felt comfortable throughout the stay. However, some elements of the listing can be a bit misleading. The hotel’s restaurant is currently closed, and the breakfast is very limited, almost portioned exactly per guest, with coffee available only as americano. I fully understand that this may be due to the end of the tourist season, but it would be helpful if such information were clearly mentioned in the announcement so guests can plan accordingly. Despite these small issues, we still had a good experience, and the hotel has potential to offer an even better stay with just a few improvements.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We stayed here for 3 nights as a group of six and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is modern, clean, and in a great location with beautiful sea views. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and cleaned daily. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. Breakfast was fresh and offered a good variety each morning. The location is excellent, with easy access to Sarandë town, Ksamil, restaurants, supermarkets, and the beach. We found it very convenient for exploring the Albanian Riviera. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend Orchids Hotel to couples, families, and groups visiting Sarandë, and I would happily stay here again.

Great hotel! We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Blue Sky. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was meticulously taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing holiday. We will definitely be back! 💙

A warm welcome awaited us on the top floor (accessible by elevator) with sea views. The room was spacious and clean, featuring a small balcony and a clothes drying rack. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. Breakfast was decent. Many thanks to the Kalemi family! ❤️

The room is a bit hot at the beginning because the AC and the fridge were turned of when we arrived so they took time to run properly. The pool was fun however since it’s a outdoor pool so it wasn’t that clean, just at an acceptable level. Some lights weren’t lighting The toilet is not very clean - it smells. The shower sometimes doesn’t have hot water and sometimes worser, doesn’t have water at all. But one good thing about it is that the toilet and the shower are separated, that’s especially useful when we’re travelling in a group of 5 as we can use different areas at the same time. View is beautiful - sea view Good location, many beaches and restaurants around it.
