Ok for a short stay..
Close proximity to beach and main areas of Sarande. Owners were friendly..
Pretty basic, air conditioning was ineffective and couldn’t open patio doors to get air.

Pay a bit more and go somewhere else. Be suspicious of no refund available when you book on bookings
The staff were trying hard to do a good job and they were smiling. They were of a certain age that one would imagine they would be taking their pension, but they were still there working hard trying to keep up with everything. Respect about that. They made sure I had parking.
Be suspicious when you see no refund option available no cancellation available with the booking. To start with the hotel was next to impossible to find. We arrived at the corner where the hotel was meant to be and all we could see was a cafe with no sign or any indication where the hotel was. When we eventually found it, it stood out that the cafe that we could see on the corner was the reception and the breakfast room of the actual hotel that was what seemed to be a converted apartment block into hotel rooms accessible by an alleyway next to the cafe. When I asked about the parking that they stated they had, as youngerman came out and moved a sign they'd put up on the road that was holding what was meant to be my parking space. In short there was no parking space I was parking on the street I'll charge the hotel but at least they made sure that I had a space to park my car. The room was of an okay size, freshly painted with air condition. I immediately noticed there was only one socket on the wall to cover all our needs and that was just above the bedside cabinet. There wasn't even a lamp into the room. We only had a light on the ceiling which meant way I had full light or no light at all. The bathroom was freshly tiled, but there wasn't any where to hang your towels. The room was cleaned daily and they did give us fresh towels every day and one toilet roll... They also say they offer breakfast but I don't think I would call that a breakfast... There wasn't even milk cereal and everything offers coffee or tea even when we asked they said they would come over in a while to take our order but they never did. All there was to choose from was bread butter marmalade and some stale watermelon. Unfortunately whilst we were there fires broke out at home and we had to leave one day early. That was the moment where the owner appeared. The person that had to take the money... He looked like a customer up until that day. Of course no discount....

Worst 55€ of my life.
Close to the center
Really dirty, hard to find, nowhere to park although they said onsite parking. No mention that they didn’t have an elevator. Did not accept card payments but did not provide with a receipt for cash. Room was dirty and small and really overpriced. I would really not recommend it to anyone.

A very pleasant hotel for the price.
The room is simple but very clean, neat, and cozy. The bedding was fresh, clean, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the spotless condition of the room and bathroom. The staff is incredibly friendly. Some of them don’t speak much English, but they really try to understand and are always willing to help, which creates a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Especially Sonja was very friendly and helpful. The sea is about a 5-minute walk away - you just need to walk slightly uphill from the waterfront, which isn’t a problem. Breakfast is simple but tasty: boiled eggs, croissants, bread, butter, jam, honey, watermelon, melon, and coffee from a machine. I was happy to see fresh fruits. I personally missed some protein (like cheese or yogurt), also vegetables, but maybe it’s just a part of the local food culture. Overall, a great budget-friendly option. I recommend it to those who value cleanliness, coziness, and a friendly atmosphere.

Down to earth place in Sarande
The room was nice, cozy and overall clean; it had a wide terrace from which you could see the sea (we were on the top floor). It was pleasantly far from the caos of the tourist side of the city. There was parking space available in front of the hotel. Staff was welcoming and friendly (but just one of them spoke English, all the others only spoke Albanian). (Plus side: the bakery at the opposite corner had a delicious spinach byrek)
If you're planning on staying here keep in mind that there's no elevator and almost every person of the staff speaks Albanian only. We were still able to communicate, but it can be a bit of an issue for some people. There's no hotel sign: the reception is inside the restaurant on the ground floor (the one at the corner of the street).
