Hotel Piccolino in Sarande

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Piccolino! The location is wonderful with easy beach access, but not too far away from the city center/promonade area to walk. We were able to pay for sun beds/umbrellas at a nearby beach bar. The room was spacious and we were lucky enough to get a sea-facing balcony with a lovely view. The bathroom was nice with a large shower and bidet/bum-gun.
It's true that there is not a lift, which can be rough if you are staying on a higher floor, but that is not unusual in Saranda. And, the stairwell has windows with gorgeous views, so you have something nice to look at if you need to take a rest on the way up.
The real star of this hotel, though, is the daily breakfast. There is a steady supply of fresh, hot coffee and some of the most delicious food you'll find in Saranda. The selection is based on the typical Albanian breakfast of eggs, sausages, fresh veggies, olives, and cheese. There are usually a couple different bread options, along with yogurt, cereals, and fresh fruit. It's all amazingly fresh and plentiful, served buffet style. It's clear that this family-run hotel puts a lot of pride and heart into providing their guests with a home-like experience.

Great place—friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet atmosphere, and stunning views. I’ve been here several times and always enjoy it.

We booked a 5 night stay at the hotel which was convenient walking distance from the port of Sarande. The hotel is family run, friendly, very clean and the breakfast was adequate. We had a lovely sea view room and although it was pretty basic it was comfortable and quiet. Location is great for access to restaurants and shops. Personally, we like to have coffee facilities in our room but apart from that we had a lovely stay.

Great stay!
Good restaurants in the area.
Bed was very comfortable :-)

I only have compliments after staying at this hotel. The room has all you need and is clean. Location is great for walking to beaches and restaurants, as well as exploring. Breakfast buffet is not huge, but got all you need like coffee/tea, fried eggs, vegetables, bread, crossiants, and juice. Buffet constantly filled up during morning if something runs out.
That aside, the family running the hotel is awesome - they went above and beyond and even got up & drove us to the hospital in the middle of the night as it was quicker than emergency services. 5/5 would come back here.

Very nice view from the hotel itself and from the balcony. Breakfast was alright and parking is free. But we had issue with air conditioner and it took 2 days to fix. Other then that I would recommend it.

Nice location and nice view. The room and bathroom seem recently renovated and modern. The hot water took a very very very long time and little pressure, quite annoying. The breakfast buffet was varied and delicious. Also handy that they have their own parking spaces

Great location right on the beach very clean room and well-maintained. Well set bathroom all necessities and family run hotel that meet us feel at home. We felt lucky that we found it, very good deal for the price. Breakfast included in the price of the hotel also.
