    The staff was super nice and helpful. I asked if they had dairy free milk and they didn't and the next day they bought it for me!

    The rooms are a bit old

    It is very close to the beach and it takes two minute to get to the umbrellas. The breakfast has multiple choice and they try to vary it every day. The room has a great view and clean and they change towels everyday.

    The hotel is at the end of a downhill so it is tiring to get all the way up both by car and on foot. The rooms are a little bit old.

    Thank you. You are welcome anytime.

    We loved that it is outside of Saranda crowds, has access to a few lovely beach areas just un front of the hotel. The breakfast was tasty and home made with enough options, the kids enjoyed the little playground in the garden.

    Thank you ! We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and homemade breakfast. Hope to welcome you again!

    El Mare Hotel exceeded our expectations. Our room had an amazing sea view and spacious balcony. Hotel owner and other employees are super friendly and helpful. I have never encountered such hospitality anywhere before. Very good breakfast- they offered a lot of different options. Rooms are really clean. Nearby beaches are great as well. We would go back anytime :)

    City centre is little far away but we even enjoyed the 40 minute walk.

    Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sea view, breakfast, and our hospitality. It was a pleasure to host you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

    The location is amazing. Easy to walk downtown at night. The hotel is right by the beach. Clean and spacious rooms. And the garden is cosy for having breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. But the absolute best thing is the host! He is an amazingly warmhearted person who made our stay wonderful! Helped us with everything, made us feel at home. Such an amazing person! ❤️ Will definately recommend anyone to stay here. And we will definately want to come back.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and felt at home. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

    An electric kettle (water boiler) in the room would be useful.

    Wonderful stay! The 2 main employees, men, at the desk and breakfast, were absolutely lovely, so attentive and nice, offering extra eggs and sausage at breakfast etc. We arrived a day late as I’d had food poisoning at another place in the north, and when we got there they said we didn’t have to pay for the first night we’d reserved but not stayed, so kind! The room was very clean, really big and had a nice view to the beach. Great location and quiet.

    Every morning there was an extremely loud noise like a dryer or extractor fan going at ninety for 2 hours from like 7am to 9am and it was so noisy! We found it difficult to sleep, it took over the whole room.

    Very nice small hotel operated by a local family. Excelent breakfast, beautiful sea view from the balcony and a private beach just in front of the hotel. A lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, daily room service.

    The room we had was a bit tiny, without any place to dry swimsuits. But we could manage - we used the balcony chairs :-)

    Thank you very much. We appreciate your advice, next your we will figure it out for sure.

    Staff were very helpful with check in/out and anything else we needed. The room we had had a very large balcony with lovely views.

    The breakfast was fairly standard but there were a lot of flies and some of the items definitely sat out too long, especially towards the end of breakfast times.
