"An absolutely wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was perfect, from the delicious homemade meals to the stunning mountain views. The genuine hospitality of Aurora, Eleana, and their family made our first trip to Albania even more special. We couldn’t recommend this place enough; do not hesitate to book! ❤️"

Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Superb hotel! Philliphino staff great"

Joanna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice large balcony. Very clean. Updated and modern room. Several grocery stores very close. I would totally recommend staying here and I will return next year."

Julia Hotel

8/10 Good

"I’ll have to say that the location of the hotel is very good and the views are fabulous from most rooms. In the end it was pretty good value for the money, but it definitely wasn’t perfect. The staff was mediocre, and other than one of the receptionists who helped me a few times, never smiling once, the others barely looked you in the eye or said hello, or smiled at all. It’s mid-October, and the only cover in the whole room for the bed was a plain white sheet and nothing else anywhere. I had to go down and ask at the front desk for a simple blanket. Not an additional blanket, the first one in the room at all. I’ve never seen this in any other hotel. I travel a lot for my business and one of the things I weigh highly when rating a hotel is on their breakfast and it was one of the worst I’ve ever had. Many of the guests were talking about it and complaining, but at 8 o’clock in the morning when breakfast started (8-10 am), they would put out upwards of three dozen fried eggs in the slightly heated table and leave them there for the next two hours, never to be freshened or replenished. And at least one time I was at breakfast, I stayed for six days, the eggs were literally ice cold at 8:06 AM. Just terrible. It was like mush by 9 AM because everyone’s digging in this huge pile of cold, fried eggs. Next time I’m in Sarandë, I’ll try another hotel."

DREAM HOTEL SARANDA

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful clean hotel and all the staff were amazing so helpful and nice"

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room with a sea view. The hosts were great people - I will definitely return!"

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days."

Vila Kalcuni

10/10 Excellent

"What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the staff. The team delivered warm, attentive, and highly professional service from check-in to check-out, anticipating our every need. It is rare to find a place where both the room comfort and the hospitality are this top-tier!"

Hotel Vale

"Great location - fabulous sea view and lovely large balcony room."

Bougainville Bay Hotel

"Definitely recommend the double deluxe sea view room!!! Beautiful views and beautiful room. Staff are lovely. Near halal food and supermarket across the road Only around 10/15 mins walk from main strip"
