Hotels on first line in Albania

Very fair price for the amazing location right at the beach. Effective usage of room space. The bathroom is a bit adventurous, not having a separate shower cabin. I mean, you get quite much for what you pay

The Nice Lady that runs the hotel provided us with breakfast and after asking we were even allowed to use the hotel kitchen for ourselves. We could dry our beach towels at the rooftop terrasse

The Hotel is very close to the beach. The Furniture in the room is pretty run down and the Bathroom is a strange combination of Shower/Toilet and smells sometimes a little bad

Super abundant breakfast, very close to the sea and very comfortable rooms. Very nice and helpful staff.

The location of this hotel was only a step away from the shoreline, public beach, and boardwalk

Great hotel! Very attentive and positive personal. Tasty breakfests with seawiev.

What can i say! I am surprised by the location,luxury, comfort. We stayed here 7 days, big group,3 families with kids. We booked since January, rooms were booked as promised, seaside view, same floor

In our booking were included sunbeds and breakfast! Everyday! I cant wait to come back here, finally i found the perfekt place for the family and big group we are😃

The location is excellent: close to the main sights and restaurants, yet tucked away enough to feel calm and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond and helped arrange transport, which made exploring the area a breeze

We spoke a little French together and we both burst into tears from the laughter. I feel lucky to have come here, thanks to those who suggested it to me. I can't wait to spend more time in this fantastic place

Hotel is builded in a very beautyful way, and everything in it is well placed. This place is child friendly, i never felt more free being with the kids on vacations, you can easy describe it as a family place

They had a waiter named Klevis, he took care of our table almost everyday. Since we were 15 people we booked always the table before. We tried almost all the dishes, everything tasted super

The room was huge and clean but basic - it's ok, you dont look for more than travel. But the food... the food was amazing ??don't even hesitate and go ahead for the home wine and the seafood ??

Dinner was delicious and very reasonably priced! The risotto with shrimp and vegetables was fantastic. The rice was perfectly al dente and the shrimp and zucchini were an awesome and creative combination to have in it

Close by, there's a famous restaurant called mrizi I zanave, it's world famous but it couldn't compare to the dishes we had here. I don't know how this can happen. Mrizi I zanave is very average in their food

The chicken was TENDER which is rare because to cook chicken, you have to cook it just right ( not too much and not too little ). The creamy sauce was even nicer

The service from the friendly young waiter that served us, who fortunately spoke English really well, was excellent. Thank you for a lovely meal, Miles & Mandy

I had the chicken (pule me Pana) and my cousin had the chicken risotto which was not an option but the chef was very flexible and said it could be done

One of my best experience in albania, Traditional food very tasty, the hotel it’s clean And smell so nice, the employees can speak English and they are friendly, the rooms were spacious and you could find anything you need, the beach it’s just 13 min away by walking even though the offer transport we decided to walk every day, we loved the staying at the Zmerina hotel, I recommend to anyone!

One of the best hotels I've stayed at on Velipoja beach, The lady who welcomed us was very kind and understanding The rooms are clean and equipped with air conditioning, The place has free parking and green space, A very nice experience

Very fantastic place and very special service. All the management staff and those who deal with customer care are a very specialized and highly educated team. Thank you to everyone who made us have unforgettable holidays

Fantastic place and very educated staff. I cant really thank you guy's enough because you made us happy and have unforgettable holidays at your very very beautiful hotel. Keep up the good work and god bless you Monda

Hello ❤️ thank you very much for everything ❤️ really spectacular people 🙏 the hotel doesn't look like a hotel... it's better to be with family ❤️ thank you ❤️ recommended a thousand percent

Perfect 🤩 So beautiful 🥰

Another advantage of this hotel is the beach across the road which is part of the hotel and makes sun loungers available to guests: lovely clean beach with a bar that was also a nice place to hang out in the evening

The place is in a great location and they have a gorgeous bar in front of the beach with nice cocktails and good ambience and they have a great restaurant with great food and prices

Really enjoyed staying here: we spent five nights as part of a hiking tour but unfortunately I injured my knee on the second day and the staff could not have been kinder with a special shout out to Raj for going the extra mile every day and Yianni offering to take me to the hospital to have my bandages changed

Very nice! Nevertheless we just waited like 15 min for the starters and another 10 min for the main. The main dishes were very delicious, I can’t imagine a better shrimp risotto! I can tell you: Try it yourself

Due to my limited mobility, we ate quite a few meals in the hotel. Plenty of options for vegetarians (the baked cheese was a particularly favourite) and the wine was great too. Evening meals were good value

The hotel is located at the quieter end of the resort, although it is close enough to walk to others parts of the town. The room was spacious, super clean, with fresh towels every day and air conditioning

The beach chairs are included in the price. The staff is competent and has no problem with English. In addition, the freshly cooked food tastes great and the service is wonderful

Wonderful! We have the whole bay to ourselves. There is traditional Albanian cuisine! Delicious! The rooms are simple but sufficient. Fragrance sprays are not used. everything is clean The hosts are very nice

We spend very good time in the Hotel Kristal. First, we planned to stay only for two nights but our stay was so delighted that we changed our minds and stayed for three nights more

The place is hidden on a small bay and is reachable easily by public transport. The boss, Starvros, is a very hospitable person and Alfonso a formidable cook

If you want to do a little local holiday, you are right here

Great view, the right place to relax, with excellent food

nice little hotel with basic rooms. the hot water was more like warm water and didn't always come. but the hosts are friendly and room was clean. some good views out to sea and it's only 10 walk to promenade

The hotel is near center and it is at an excellent location. The stuff was very nice and polite and especially Marios was very helpful. Also the breakfast was delicious and really fresh.

Very nice family hotel, very well located. It was a pleasure to spend a few days there. A special thank you to the personal who was adorable :)

The rooms are nice. The views are fantastic. It's a 10 minute walk to the promenade. The owners were very nice. There is an elevator.

also good that it was one of the more affordable places around

Be careful if you drive a car: the street to reach the hotel often is a complete mess due to the huge unregulated mobility and the uncontrolled traffic of the city (when we arrived, we remained completely stuck in this street long 300m for more than 45min)

Private beach also included along with free breakfast that can be eaten in the restaurant or on the beach. Workers are really hospitable and this is the best hotel in Albania I have been in so far

Nice hotel. If You want a beach, walk 15-20 minutes north. You will see a white fish-restaurant (it’s good) that looks like a boat. Continue 100 meter and You will find a good beach.

Very nice persnal and nice beach with view!

there is no such thing as private beach. we booked and it turned out that the beach the hotel rents out for the gue mists was closed. Breakfast is not an open buffet. But the service lady (manager) is v friendly

Amazing service and rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Best place for a relaxing holiday away from busy places. However, conveniently near shops and restaurants to ensure that you have everything you need

The service was good and the people so nice with us. Everything was clean and the food delicious 😍😍

The room was very clean, spacious, and offered a stunning view of the sea. The hotel is perfectly located, close to the beach and city center, yet peaceful and quiet

Not knowing what to expect I just booked a room last minute in a neighborhood that seemed peaceful. I always search for 'best recommended for business travelers' and booking. com showed that this was recommended by others

The host is absolutely warm-hearted and provides a level of service that is hard to beat! Service and friendliness easily deserve a 12/10! I can truly and wholeheartedly recommend this family-run hotel! We will definitely come back for another holiday here — as soon as possible! :)

I have been living in Albania for 2 years, but traveled 65 countries. First 2 nights I spend in a 3th floor room with a very nice bathroom. Small fridge and nespresso machine included, perfect for a short trip

Our stay at Hotel Erioni was better than we could have ever imagined. The location is perfect, offering a fantastic view of the sea, and the noise from the nearby main road is barely, if at all, audible in the room

It was clean, had an kitchen and an balcony with a view at the port (One morning we were able to watch fresh tuna being loaded) The host of the hotel fulfilled us all wishes we had and helped us to get a rental car and gave us advices for local tips

One of the best hotels in Himara. Quiet at night, beautiful sunsets and a clean and safe(for children) beach. The sea is just few meters away. Many other hotels, tavernas and bars nearby

Sara was extremely caring with us. Guided to the room, booked the front seabeds for us each morning and always ready to help. Spotless clean rooms with Toyotomi AC and smart TV. Looking forward coming again next holidays

Nothing fancy but you get what you pay for. Simple, but clean and efficient. Good place to stay for a night in the area especially in the off season, nice breakfast and views with a good taverna across the street

Very welcoming family. Everything was perfect. Cleaned rooms, kind people and direct access to the beach. They allowed us to have a barbeque and we enjoyed it a lot. Thank youuuuu

I stayed at this hotel for 3 days and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The hotel itself was quiet and very well maintained

I spent 3 nights at this hotel and really enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious, tidy, and had all the essentials I needed. The whole place felt calm and well looked after

Unique combination of beach, lagoon and nature reserve and an assortment of slightly down at heel hotels and restaurants. Hardly booming even in high season - though this is when the fauna retires into the forest shade

The location is beautiful and ideal for families with kids, the restaurant is excellent and the beach is clean and mostly shallow

Best carbonara in the city , highly reccomended , cozy indoor ambient , good vibes , good service , very clean

Well worth two or three days especially if you like seafood. We chose to stay in nearby Divjake - pleasant, ordinary small town

The view is fantastic, and you can enjoy nature and fresh air. We often visit on weekends with the family. The environment is suitable for children and for anyone who wants to get away from the busy city life

One of the best place to be with family and friends. The owner is so generous and makes you to be very welcoming. We had crazy lunch and dinner and we did stay more then 10 hours drinking and singing

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The room was clean and comfortable with the amazing sea view. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Also, sunbeds and breakfast are included in the price

Beautiful spot and an incredibly hospitable owner! We didn’t stay at the hotel but we were walking along the beach off-season — most places were closed and the beach was empty

Blue Days Resort in Borsh is the perfect choice for a holiday: a fantastic beachfront location, friendly and always helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, delicious food, and very reasonable prices

Our rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable. It’s right by the beach, the food is so fresh and delicious. There are so many seating options to sit for dinner and lunch and breakfast is served right to your table

The private beach with free sunbeds makes the experience even more enjoyable

The restaurant and the beach were excellent. Food is always fast and freshly prepared even in the lunchtime, delicious and affordable. The staff was very friendly, heartwarming and polite, always greeted us with a smile

Great hotel ! Most comfortable beds and pillows ! I had a huge balcony ! Lovely pool and also acres to the the beach! No tea or coffee making facilities in the room but they provided hot water when I needed ! Staff lovely - Melissa was a gem 💎 and also Ridu! They need to improve breakfast as the hot dishes weren’t hot And the breakfast orange juice should be Fresh ! Centrally located -walk everywhere...

Great hotel for stopping for a few nights in Himare. The hotel has a pool with a few beds, (you get beach towels) and it is a 2 minute walk to the beach where you can get beds for free as they are linked to the hotel

The hotel will also give you a 10% discount for a local boat tour company which was really good. The breakfast has many options and is very fresh and dinner was also very tasty

If you want a delicious meal, you MUST go to the Sea View Hotel restaurant. The food was so incredibly delicious. An oasis of tranquility and a huge selection of delicious wines. We ordered a large, fresh sea bass

The Sea View Hotel is an amazing hotel. The staff are friendly, helpful and meet your every need and expectations. The free breakfast, rooms and pool are top notch. Everything was very very clean

The view from our hotel balcony of the Ionian Sea was amazing. The hotel is quiet and serene. Free access to lounges on the beach and they provide beach towels free of charge

Excellent property, with everything you need for a nice vacation. Close to the beach and the main street of Durres Beach. Mini market right outside the door. We stayed for 10 nights, and would like to come back one day

Durres beach exceeded all expectations, and is a vibrant place, with good restaurants, beaches and much more

We had an excellent stay at hotel Lula. Great rooms recently refurbished with good view on top floor. Staff were amazing, very helpful and accommodating. 2min from beach front and about 10min from the main strip

Loved everything about Hotel Lula - great location across the road from the beach, with wonderful views from the balcony. Close to restaurants and bars. Fabulous breakfasts and a very helpful team

The hotel is at a great location. Only a few feet away from the public beach. The hotel also has their own umbrellas and cabanas to rent for the day for a very fair price

The walk to the beach was short and there were comfortable lawn chairs available near the water. I highly recommend booking this hotel

I highly recommend this place for families. This is a great place 150m from the free public beach

If you're looking for the big breakfast buffet it's maybe not the right choice for you, but they still have multiple options for breakfast and their "Petra" (kind of sugared beigne) are really good!! Thanks to all the team for hosting us the last 10 days, we really enjoyed it!!

also a very nice part of the beach where there are fewer people

2025 Beautiful hotel, nice renovation, friendly reception, good choice for breakfast, the hotel tries very hard, special thanks to the man at the reception, who on the day of check-out helped us catch the bus (the driver did not check people when leaving, although we left 7 minutes before the appointed time) as in the movie "Taxi" quickly reacted, dialed the owner of the company and brought The vacation...

Super hotel ! Stayed 4 nights.The hotel is new and is better than in photos. Clean and great service.Interior design is modern and useful. Perfect hotel with a cheap price and good location. Will come again for sure !

We have been in lots of hotels in the last 25 years, I wish everyone around Albania were as kind and friendly as you guys are. Definitely will keep coming back when we are in Albania. Highly recommend to everyone

Comfortable beds with a nice balcony. The rooms have a lot of privacy and are designed with a unique style which gives it a luxorious look. If you are planning to stay in Vlore, this is the hotel you need

First of all I want to say thank you for the help and support last year; we had a wonderful time. That’s why we are here again this year. Thank you so much for sorting us a room with a very short notice

A perfect and wonderful place for vacations!! Waking up with an incredible view of the sea is what we adored, great breakfast, fine dining restaurant and in case you’re coming by car very well connected with the rest of the Albanian riviera

Super quiet and cozy space for a vacation with family. Breakfast is delicious, service is good and they have a super coffee. There is a nice bar through the beach

We have had such a wonderful time at Villamaria!!!! The stuff welcoming was incredible and the sea view from our balcony was breathtaking

I loved the breakfast which was combining the modern with tradicional Albanian dishes diffrent each day and local fruits + vegetables. And YES we will come soon back!!!!

The best spot for family vacations in south Albania 🇦🇱 ☀️ Quiet, peaceful and not crowded.. Excellent view from balcony and tasty breakfast in the hotel. ☕️ 🍲

Very good restaurants around if you want to stay in village, away from noisy Vlora city

The restaurant is right on the beach and you get beautiful views of the sea when eating outside

All the staff were amazing and so friendly. Food was delicious especially the breakfast. Private beach was very clean. sunbeds ,umbrellas were plentiful. beach towels were also supped free of charge by the hotel

The food was served quickly, everything tested like home made! Fantastic service, especially as it's off season and many places are closed. Great WiFi by the way and the view from restaurant!

I opted for the grilled seabass which was delicious, lightly seasoned and fresh. The toilets and inside the restaurants are clean

Came to eat at the restaurant and honestly best food of the restaurants nearby! We ate the crab croquettes, risotto and the highlight were the mussels! Absolutely fenomenal! The service was fantastic as well we were served by Donny and he was so attentive and professional, it made our overall experience 5/5! Could not recommend more!

I stayed next door at the Epidamn White Sensation but I often ate next door at the Hotel Mirage for lunch as I wanted some fresh fish. Kevin served us on multiple occasions and was very pleasant and welcoming

Had a really wonderful time in this hotel, for the price it provides everything you need: A fantastic view to the beach, nice clean rooms with a large balcony, a terrace bar so you can enjoy coffee viewing the whole city and a nice enjoyable breakfast on the little garden they have

A beautiful place like paradise — the magic of the sea and the mountains. The hotel owners are very kind. The service is good, and we are grateful to them.

The hotel was not far from the beach and the boulevard in Vlora. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of coming to Vlora

Amazing view from the balcony! Rooms are clean and cozy, the beach is only a 4-minute walk away.

I know its just a bit far from the beach but its totally worth the walk

Clean hotel, friendly and attentive staff, the flaw is that it is located uphill on a somewhat busy road, beautiful sea view even if a bit far away, average price
