Sondor Hotel

“Highly Recommended: Clean, Modern, and Welcoming” We had a wonderful stay at Sondor Hotel in Ksamil last July. From the moment we checked in, everything felt welcoming and well thought out. The breakfast buffet was excellent – plenty of variety and freshly made dishes. We were especially happy to learn that a Filipino chef is part of the kitchen team, as most of the food we enjoyed every morning was prepared with real care and flavor. Our room exceeded expectations: it was spotless every day with fresh sheets and towels, beautifully designed with high-end finishes like marble, and very spacious. Not to mention the luxury smart curtains. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a large layout with his and her sinks and – our favorite detail – a bidet, which you don’t often find in hotels here. Being at the end of the floor, we also got the bonus of having two balconies, which was a lovely touch. The staff were fantastic – both the manager and the receptionist were always polite, attentive, and willing to help with anything we needed. While we wished the pool had already been finished so we could enjoy it, everything else more than made up for it. The location is also very convenient: there’s a mini grocery store right next door, plenty of restaurants nearby, only a 10-minute walk to Poda Beach, and just 3 minutes to the bus stop. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would gladly recommend Sondor Hotel to anyone visiting Ksamil.

Where do I even begin? My stay at Sonder Hotel in Ksamil was nothing short of exquisite, a family-run boutique where you feel the care and attention to detail from the moment you arrive. The room was beautifully appointed with automatic blackout curtains, a stunning bathroom with full wall mirror, vanity beauty mirror, marble double sinks, and a spacious shower. The bedroom, balcony, pool area, and wider facilities were equally impressive. The food deserves a special mention. Chef Jev’s attention to detail was impeccable, every dish made fresh, full of flavour, and the team were happy to accommodate special requests and dietary requirements too. Breakfast was included and so delicious that despite being walking distance from Ksamil Beach, local bars, restaurants and a supermarket, I rarely ate anywhere else! What truly sets this hotel apart is the people. The family and staff were always warm, always on hand, and always willing to go the extra mile. As a first-time visitor to Albania on a birthday trip, they made me feel completely at home and even kindly accommodating a later checkout because I simply wasn’t ready to leave. This is a 10 out of 10 hotel. I cannot wait to return. Thank you to the manager, Xheni, the family, and all the staff for an unforgettable stay. See you next time, Ksamil! 🙏
