Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

DREAM HOTEL SARANDA

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a good location to get into the centre of town and also the fish port on the other side of town (where there are excellent seafood restaurants). Very close to the beach. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were really friendly and helpful. There isn't a swimming pool but I felt this was clearly stated so not sure why people have complained about it."

San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We extend our stay , we couldn’t leave , we lived this place and the stuff are super helpful and friendly!! We definitely will be back 🙏😍❣️ Thank you again for the best view in Albania 🤗🤗🤗"

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay at Litan Hotel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and very well cared for. The hospitality was exceptional, and every member of the team was kind, friendly, attentive and always ready to help. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, and everything was clean, comfortable and well looked after. The breakfast was delicious and had a great variety, which made our mornings even more enjoyable. What truly made our stay special, however, was the people. You can really feel the warmth and care in the way guests are treated. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. We absolutely loved our stay at Litan Hotel and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Sarandë. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness, care and wonderful hospitality. We will remember our stay with great affection and would love to come back one day! ❤️ Thank you for making our stay so special!"

Boe Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Gabriel and Skergli (the bartender) RULE! 💯 The front desk clerks on day shift were lifesavers as well. ☺️ I will definitely return!"

Hotel Vale

10/10 Excellent

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

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

Sunset Shoreline Saranda Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful, spacious, modern rooms. Great shower. Stunning view from the room, pool and restaurant. Truly breathtaking. The only two drawbacks for me were: The location: far up a hill with nothing nearby. As someone without a car, I’m glad I was only staying one night because taxis in Albania are expensive. At the same time, you can’t get that view without being high up. If you have a car or ample budget for taxis (35-40 euros round trip) you might not mind as much! The restaurant: Dinner at the restaurant was not great. I had the chicken risotto and ended up eating around the chicken. Drinks were good. Wine was great. And breakfast was really great!"

Hotel Edola

10/10 Excellent

"Emplacement juste à la frontière de la promenade de Saranda. Tout ce fait à la marche. Excellent restaurant de sushis à 2 minutes à pied. La piscine et l’endroit déjeuner sont un plus et offrent une superbe vue. Le lit est confortable et la chambre respire vue sa grandeur. N’hésitez pas!"

Hotel Olympia

8/10 Good

"Basic stay, way up in the hill with amazing views, not close to much.. Showing it's age a little. A good quiet place to get some R&R... Great pool for kids"
