Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vale

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were modern and very clean. Property is just steps way from the beach. Everything is there in one place.excellent breakfast . I will recommend this property to others"

Sunset Shoreline Saranda Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good people"

Glow Boutique Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, lovely friendly staff. Only one drawback was food was not allowed to be in the room. Also only breakfast was available in the hotel. No lunch or dinner facilities. However, an amazing hotel with incredible staff. The beach was five mins away."

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!"

Blue Waves Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The staff and location were fantastic. Once we got our bearings, we found we were in walking distance of Sarande prominade and some beach locations. Lots of parking space. The breakfast was fine. We stayed in a room for 4 (family with older children), and it was a tad small. The shower had no curtain so you had to clean the floor afterwards. Nice big refrigerator to keep water and beverages cold. The beds were very comfortable. Some noise from the hallway or partiers, but not constant."

Joanna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I had a studio apartment (without a washer) with view toward the sea. The place was all very clean. And the staff very responsive. My only little complaint is that the hand-held shower head didn’t work — sprayed water all over the place. So had to use the “water fall” shower. But not such a big deal. I hope to come back."

Hotel Apollon Saranda

8/10 Good

"Staff were really nice. Aircon did not work in our room though."

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is modern and well maintained with a fantastic roof terrace for meals and drinks. Quality of the menu choices was very good with reasonable prices. The bar offered amazing cocktails at excellent prices. Pool was in shade until noon and with sun beds provided which were very well cushioned. Pool towels were provided free of charge. Reception, Bar & Restaurant staff were exceptional in the service provided. The hotel is located very near the beach and bars / restaurants and shops. There is a steep but short hill road to manage when accessing from the beach road. In our opinion the hotel was very good value for money on abed and breakfast basis."

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"
