Guest Reviews
- Carolina (8/5): Recomendable - Zona comercial para salir y comer algo. La habitación y desayuno estaban bien. Las playas de cerca no son las más lindas. El edificio no tiene ascensor
- Eleonora (8/5): -
- Desara (10/5): -
- Peter (9/5): Gut Lage, für einen Badeaufenthalt. - Frühstück war ein Buffet bei dem man sich bedienen konnte. Die Lage in der ersten Reihe der Strandpromenade ist nur für die Anfahrt schwierig. Man muss bis spätestens bis 18:00 anreisen, da die Promenade ab dann für den Autoverkehr gesperrt ist. Autoschlüssel bleibt im Hotel und Auto wird vom Personal betreut, gegebenenfalls umgepart. Da es keinen Aufzug gibt war uns der Portier beim Gepäck bis in den 5. Stock behilflich. Leider war nur der Tee am Frühstücksbuffet mit im Preis inbegriffen, für den Kaffee musste man extra bezahlen.
- Lumnie (10/5): Ari Hotel is a peaceful, welcoming place with excellent service, stunning sea views, and the perfect - They kindly upgraded me from a garden view room to a beautiful sea view, which was such a lovely surprise and truly enhanced my stay. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived.
The service was excellent throughout, especially at breakfast. The host took the time to explain each of the traditional Albanian dishes that had been freshly prepared.
The hotel’s location was perfect right on the promenade, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and local sights. I especially loved spending time on the balcony, simply listening to the birds and the sound of the waves. It was peaceful and restorative, a real highlight of my visit.
Ari Hotel was the ideal base for both relaxing and exploring the area. I enjoyed every moment of my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, warm, and memorable experience. The only small issue was the minibar fridge, it was useful to have in the room, but it occasionally leaked a little water onto the floor.

Very clean, staff very helpful

- Alena (8/5): - Хорошее место расположение, приятный персонал, чисто, хороший душ, напор воды, сушилка на балконе. Маленькая комната.
- Eirini (10/5): -
- Jona (9/5): -
- BIHOUSBANE (8/5): - Propre, et personnel accueillent Il faut bien noter que l interdiction d acces au parking depuis 18h jusqu’à 01h du matin rend vraiment la tâche et le séjour stressant, a savoir que l hotel propose bien une alternative à proximité sauf que c est a votre charge
- Luigi (7/5): - La posizione ottima La colazione.
Non c'è ascensore per cui, avendo la camera al quinto piano, il soggiorno è stato abbastanza "faticoso"
- Magdalena (1/5): BOKA INTE - Fint badrum Många gånger glömde städerskorna att byta handdukar, läget var inte så bra som det påstås, var fortfarande en bit att gå till allt. Blev av med en väska för 5000kr efter att städerskorna varit där, sa till managern som sedan bara svarade mig ”vår personal gör inte sånt”, istället för att möjligtvis komma att hjälpa mig leta, eller fråga städerskan när de såg vilken panik jag hade.
- RuteeSofiaa (7/5): -
- bente (10/5): rustig maar centraal in de stad! - de ligging en het personeel we sliepen op de 5de verdieping en er was geen lift maar na een paar dagen raken je er wel gewend aan!
- Stephane (9/5): - La position centrale sur le front de mer et proche des ferrys.
Chambre spacieuse avec balcon.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Parking géré par l’hôtel... indispensable pour une ville côtière
Personnel très occupé mais à l’écoute Nous étions au Ari 2... annexe de l’hôtel Ari.
Vue sur la ville assez moyenne.
Pas d’ascenseur et étage 5.
Lit double car deux lits simples non dispo
- Maryna (7/5): - Місце розташування, чистий номер Жахлива парковка, подряпали машину.
Сніданок ну дуже скромний, більшість продуктів не їстівні.
- irontheo54 (10/5): Avis - La chambre était grande et spacieuse, l'emplacement était au plus proche de la plage, personnel agréable et petit déjeuner bon
- Rüya (8/5): - The hotel's location is great, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are nice and cleaned every day. We were very happy with our stay. Only the parking area needs improvement.
- Stefano (7/5): Sarandë y sus playas una maravilla!!! - La ubicacion de cara a la playa y la calle mas concurrida de Sarandë El desyuno es muy basico, nose si es algo de Albania en general pero para la gran cantidad de turistas que reciben creo que es hora de ir subir el nivel. El personal fue amable, pero creo que la administracion es un poco anticuada y no muy profesional podrian mejorar mucho por ese lado.
- Katja (8/5): Very good - The location of the hotel is very good. Parking was also available nearby. The gentleman who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful. Previous experiences with breakfasts were very different from the experience in this hotel. There was very little variety of food to choose from and they did not bring it regularly and when the food ran out, they did not bring new ones. There was a lady standing next to the counter who behaved very unprofessionally towards the employees. She also shouted at them and gave us the feeling that she was looking down on us.
- Daniel (6/5): Overall ok - The location was fantastic, on the beach, next to all restaurants and activities, walking distance from the port. ARI -2 is actually an Annex building of Hotel ARI, Everything you have to come to Hotel ARI, Reception, Breakfast everything. There is no lift and is very hard to reach your room in 5th Floor
- Shukulli (7/5): Good -
- Karina (9/5): Superb - Very cimfortable room and perfect location!
- Lara (8/5): Very good -
- Ales (8/5): The hotel is in the Center with the parking - Hotel is in the Center directly on promenade. It is behind of the Ari hotel and you have sea wiev between two bildings. Parking is behind the hotel. The light from outside during the night is very annoying. The left door to the balcony could not been lock. Breakfast during “winter” season start at 8:30.
- Wojciech (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (7/5): Very good room. No elevator. - Clean spacious room with a nice view. No elevator so we had to carry our bags for 5 floors through the stairs.
- Angela (10/5): Great place to stay - Location and service No elevator but the staff will help you with the bags.
- Besmira (10/5): Super - Everything was very very good! The only thing was that there was no elevator and we had the room at the 5th floor, but we got some training😄 will definitely go there again!
- Shehu (10/5): Exceptional - Great location,nice price.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lauren (10/5): Great stay with friendly staff and good breakfast! - Hotel Ari 2 exceeded all my expectations. The room was ideal, with simple decor, great air conditioning, and excellent cleanliness. The hotel staff were so lovely and friendly, they even lent me a beach umbrella one day! The breakfast was yummy and the hotel is ideally located right on the front strip of Sarande, about 30 seconds walk from the beach. It was great. Nothing. It was really great!
- Albana (10/5): Exceptional -

- Hubert (9/5): Superb - Very good location No lift
- Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katarina (10/5): Exceptional -
- M.michal (7/5): Good - Please note that the access road to the hotel parking is closed at 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. Therefore, if you arrive during these hours, you must find parking at your own expense, which is very difficult in the season due to heavy traffic. We were only informed about this upon arrival at the hotel.
- Shaheen (10/5): Overall from the manager to staff and room service, we we’re very well looked after. The staff were attentive and very w - So clean and great location from the port! Everything was amazing nothing bad to say
- Zeqaj (9/5): Superb -
- Aine (10/5): Perfect. Will definitely be back again. - Hotel Ari was extremely central with restaurants, bars and the beach right on your doorstep. Staff were so friendly and accommodating always. The room was fabulous and spotless with a lovely seaview balcony. Nothing.
- Eva (9/5): Modern and comfortabel - Perfect location, view on the beach and boulevard. Modern room with comfortabel bed and good airconditioning. Great to have Private Parking for the car.
- Sarah (8/5): Very clean and comfortable stay in Saranda - The hotel is perfectly located in Saranda. You can get to everything by foot. The port was also very closeby so if you’re planning on going to Durres or Corfu this is ideal. The staff was very friendly and let us leave our luggage at check-out since our ferry was leaving later. Our room was very clean and comfortable as well. The breakfast was also pretty good for hotel standards. The only remark I have is that the shower didn’t heat up perfectly. It was pretty cold at times. The prayers from the mosque were pretty loud since it’s closeby but that didn’t bother us too much.
- Angelique (9/5): We enjoyed our stay. Great central location on the promenade, close to beach, restaurants and ferry port. Very clean an - Superb central location,and very clean and modern.
- Almin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xheneta (8/5): Very good -
- Geraldine (9/5): Perfect location, lovely room, but no elevator - Staff were really lovely and helpful throughout. The location was perfect, just off the promenade so it wasn’t too loud in the room but also about 2 mins walk from getting into the sea. Very close to lots of bars and restaurants too. An elevator would have been appreciated, especially as we were staying on the fifth floor. We managed okay if not quite frustrating but someone with mobility issues or children might struggle.
- Ioana (8/5): Very good - Very clean and new furniture. Exactly on the beach. The sofa for our child was very hard.
- Andrew (10/5): fantastic, would happily stay here again - great location, clean, very friendly, great breakfast
- Ahmad (8/5): Very nice staff, clean rooms, great location - Staff is super nice, location is great Bathroom door knob needed to be fixed
- Joost (7/5): Great location. - Location is really good and staff really nice. Clean as well Parking was messy, next to landfill and big rocks. Breakfast was fine, not the best we had in Albanië.
- Jessica (10/5): Exceptional - Really great and helpful staff
- Petra (9/5): Superb - even there was some missunderstanding, staff solved really fast and with smile
- Endrit (9/5): Superb -
- Dennis (7/5): Good - Great breakfast. Kind Hosts. Close to the beach and city center. Tedious walks up to the 5th floor without elevator.
- Prudlo (10/5): Exceptional - Room in good condition and clean. Boss is reallt nice and helpfull..Room was cleanning every day. Hotel in very good location.
- Juliana (10/5): Excellent!!!! - Property was very clean, beds were comfortable, staff was excellent and very helpful. Great location!! Nothing to no like.
- Alexandra (10/5): Very nice! - A nice hotel, right on the beach. Very friendly and helpful owner. N/A
- Raul (10/5): Exceptional - Room is amazing!
The staff is very friendly. It's located in the center of the city which is close to a lot of amenities. It's also right next to the beach which is hard to find in a hotel for this price. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast. The restaurant has a nice bar!
We highly recommend this hotel
- Henrylewis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hisham (7/5): Good - Very clean and friendly staff. High building without an elevator.
- Helena (3/5): big nope - the view was nice - when we arrived there was a cigarette butt and lots of hair on the balcony
- when I took a shower at 9pm, the hot water ended very shortly, I got my hair wet and the water started getting freezing. long story short the manager arrived at 10.15pm to let us access the other building’s room. in the meantime I was freezing. problem got fixed next day at 11.30am. I suggested a gesture or compensation but no, nothing “if you don’t appreciate I came at 10.30pm, that’s not my problem”
- at night two guests were loudly talking in the hall, echoing. got to go downstairs but no results, wore headphones
- breakfast seriously bad, I guess because of the low season too.
definitely the worst experience in Albania
- Francisco (8/5): Very good -
- Flavio (7/5): a regular stay - The location is fantastic, the staff very kind, and a good breakfast. The hotel has 5 floors and has no elevator. This information must be stated in the hotel description. That way you can decide whether or not to book.
- Khalil (3/5): Poor -
