Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Ascetically speaking this hotel is beautiful with two stunning pools which are clean & well presented. The cabana beds were a perfect touch. The staff were incredibly helpful & friendly & the hotels taxi driver was always on hand. Food & drink selection on the menus was great (quite expensive but big portions & great tasting) and the breakfast buffet was good- but a little repetitive. In terms of constructive feedback - the rooms are beautiful just not very practical. Although there’s a wardrobe, there are no drawers & a lack of hanging hooks for towels etc. The cleanliness of the rooms also requires a little attention - a hair band had been left on top of the hairdryer which wasn’t mine. We had a leaky shower which was fixed promptly but the wet towels we had used to try and mop up were left on the floor and not replaced. There were lots of chips in the plates (probably because they were too big for the dishwasher) but these can harbour germs. Breakfast buffet items were left out without anything to keep them cold. This hotel is in its infancy and these are only minor points which can be easily sorted. We would 100% stay here again."

Joanna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"5* would recommend"

Boe Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good hotel. Higly reccomended! 10/10"

Dream Apartments Saranda

8/10 Good

"This apartment is conveniently located near restaurants and the beach. Our unit did not have a sea view, and since there are other buildings in front, I’m not sure if the property has units with a view. Check-in is done at the hotel a few minutes away, which is something to keep in mind. The apartment was well equipped overall, and having a washing machine was a definite plus. A few more pots in the kitchen would have been helpful. We were four people; two slept in the bed and two on the sofa bed, which unfortunately was not very comfortable. Overall, a convenient option, especially for its location."

DREAM HOTEL SARANDA

10/10 Excellent

"A short walk from the heart of Sarandë, so nice and quiet. Room was comfy and clean, and the staff very helpful."

Hotel Vale

10/10 Excellent

"Bien situé:)"

Kalemi's Beachside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect! Excellent location, wonderful and extremely kind owners, a spotless room, and close to everything! I highly recommend it to everyone!"

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!"

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great little hotel ! Nice staff. Good location !"
