    The breakfast was limited and the access to the town was a bit far ( if had a small bridge was perfect but doesn’t have )

    The view was perfect and the possibilitie to chose between the swimming pool and the beach

    I would appreciate more dinner options but understand the difficulty and there are restaurants nearby.

    Very relaxing location, friendly staff, nice pool, beach just down the stairs.

    Location makes it difficult to access the city centre in the evening as no buses. Bus stop accessed at end of a dirt track walk and buses usually packed full when they do run. ATMs in Saranda 🇦🇱 totally rip off tourists with really high bank charges. Use a card to pay were possible or change currency to Euros in your own country first.

    Lovely swimming pool. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Wide choice of healthy foods for breakfast. Wonderful views of the sea and night sky.

    It’s far away from 4 stars - they didn’t have beach/pool towels. The breakfast was boring and the same every day. It was away from the center, but if you are looking for something quite, then it’s for you

    Great pool, beachfront.

    Incredible team, but one employee, after I had left the hotel early because I had a meeting in Tirana, approached my friends and said that I had a problem with alcohol, making an inappropriate invitation to one of my friends to accompany him to the his room. I found it disrespectful. Because what I spent on aperol and gin is enough to pay his salary. I think it's clear what he tried to do. leaving them scared and having to put the mini fridge behind the door. the rest of the staff was incredible.

    Well, people might have different opinions but honestly this hotel is the best for enjoying the aesthetic beauty of sea. You can literally enjoy the waves of blue sea while having breakfast. This hotel ( unlike the rest of the hotels) is free from the chaos of the central which is absolutely amazing for peace loving travelers. On top of everything, all the staffs are tremendously friendly, welcoming and helpful. It feels like they are always there for you, especially Mevlud and Daniel, we had an issue in the washroom but they fixed it within 5 minutes that I really appreciated. Hotel staffs changed our towels and bedsheet and pillowcases everyday. Wait, this is not the whole story. If we look into the shortcomings of the hotel, first comes its location. It is far from the Sarandë central and you have to either take taxi or walk 10/12 minutes to a bus stop. The problem is there is no bus after 6:30. So, if you plan to stay late in the central, you must walk 30 minutes to come back to hotel or spend 15€ to get a taxi. Bathroom facilities might be disappointing too. It doesn’t have hand-wash, hanging towel/bathrobe is little inconvenient. I believe hotel Dodona should work on the following things 😊- 1. Blankets can be changed 2. Pillows’ quality can be improved 3. More breakfast items can be added 4. A hand wash is a must in the washroom Anyway, I am still in favor of Dodona because of its hospitality. The staffs are amazing.

    Shower as it was mostly blocked, I had to unlock it so the water could flow. I believe it was due to lack of use over low season

    All workers and the accomodation.

    The shower didn't have a door, so all the water got all over the floor. The ventilation in the bathroom was very loud! The location looks good on the map but the reality is that you need to walk a considerable distance to get to the principal road and find restaurants and other stores, and evening/night time there are not lights making the road completely dark and difficult to walk.

    The view was exceptional. The room was big and fresh. The waitress was very kind.

    The distance from the center. It was able to get to the hotel in the night by taxi, and it was very expensive.

    It just seemed a bit unloved. There were no bedside lights. There is a charge for the loungers on the beach. Next to the beach there was a lot of litter. It is a long way out of town, but it is walkable (about 45 minutes) and there are regular buses.

    The view was amazing. The staff were really friendly. The beach is just below the hotel. The hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

    If you're staying here for more than a few nights and you don't have a car it might be a little too isolated, it's not really near anything else. Room was a little small for two people.

    It has it's own restaurant, yummy free breakfast. It has a pool and a private beach. The room was nice with a balcony. They have thier own taxi service and staff are lovely and helpful.

    There was only one person working at the restaurant at evening at the tables and so it was a bit slow. The guy was super, just think they would need more people working there and not only one person. Food was ok but not good good.

    Nice location, far from the caos of saranda. Great view! 👍

    Location was far from town, so would have to drive or taxi everywhere. Our shower did not work properly so my 6ft partner could not use the higher shower head and had to hold the hose in his hand. We asked politely for help but were told it was working fine although this was untrue. We didn't want to start a fuss so we left it alone. Later we heard that our friends who arrived later that day were offered a free upgrade to a double room which we were not offered, despite having a broken shower, which was a little disappointing to hear. We also had a power socket hanging our of our wall between the beds.

    Amazing view, lots of sun light, can hear the ocean all day and night. Nice big room and good restaurant. Free breakfast was great. Very accommodating to our large friend group. The young waiter and chef working there were really hospitable and hard workers. The pool was awesome. Rooms and general areas were very clean.

    A bit of a walk from the main promenade but we enjoyed the walk and having a quieter beach. Breakfast not much selection. Rooms could be updated but still functional.

    Private beach was great, nice pool and rooms always cleaned well. Sea view worth it great hearing the sea.

    Food was not amazing, if you don't have a car I would not recommend this one, because it is quite far from Sarandë to walk. Breakfast is fine, but the same everyday.
