Guest Reviews

• Andreas (7/5): - Leider hatten wir in unserem Zimmer keine Aussicht, Sicht aus dem Kellerfenster auf die Nachbarhauswand. Die Lage ist okay aber andere Hotels liegen direkt auf der Strandmeile.
• Gizem (9/5): merkezde, temiz, ferah ve estetik bir konaklama. - personel çok ilgili ve kibardı. oda temiz, ihtiyacınız olan birçok şey düşünülmüş. bizim için özel bir konaklamaydı ve personel tatlı jestler yaptı.
• damjano (10/5): - The location is perfect and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The room was spotless and comfortable. I would 100% recommend to everyone.
• Anxhela (10/5): - Evrerything was perfect and the room was tidy clean
• Ylli (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything was well organized, which made my stay very relaxing
• Harriett (7/5): - The breakfast pictures and reviews suggested it was great. In reality the orange juice was not fresh despite oranges being sold on the side of the road they were so plentiful. Pancakes with fruit came with a glace cherry and one and a half grapes….a side plate with an apple cut with pips still in. Breakfast poor.
• Colette (8/5): Saranda delight - Location
• Amanda (8/5): - The location and the bed and the pillows. We paid to upgrade to a larger room. The rooms are disappointingly small. No outside space apart from a few tiny tables on the pavement outside front door.
• Jörg (9/5): - Das La Fe Hotel ist ein bezauberndes Boutique Hotel und bietet neben einem wunderschönen Ambiente eine sehr hochwertige Ausstattung: Möbel, Handtücher, Bademäntel, Porzellan und Besteck sind hochwertig und sehr geschmackvoll ausgewählt. Die Lage des Hotels ist zentral aber dennoch ruhig. Offensichtlich ist das Hotel sehr liebevoll renoviert - innen und aussen wirkt alles wie neu! Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich und wird am Tisch serviert - auf Wunsch sogar draussen in der Sonne mit Blick auf das Meer! Die Eggs Benedict sind sehr zu empfehlen… Die Miarbeitenden sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Baulich bedingt haben die Zimmer der günstigeren Kategorie wohl eingeschränkte Sicht und somit wenig Tageslicht. Dies ist an dieser Stelle nicht als Kritik gemeint, da wir VOR dem Check-In die Möglichkeit bekamen, das Zimmer zu besichtigen. Eher ein Hinweis für den Leser, dem ein sonniges Zimmer wichtig ist…
• Laura (7/5): -
• Nils (7/5): -
• Maximilian (8/5): Toller Aufenthalt, immer wieder, nur nicht in Zimmer 1. - Sauberkeit, moderne Ausstattung, bequemes Bett, aufmerksames Personal, Top Lage, Level of Detail Klasse. Unser Zimmer (001), war sehr klein, sehr hellhörig, da es wie auch Zimmer 2 im selben Bereich wie die Küche ist, sprich ab morgens ca 5:30 Uhr hört man wie eingedeckt wird. Das Bad in unserem Zimmer war auch extrem klein, verstehen nicht wieso man ein Riesen Waschbecken verbaut sodass auf der Toilette kaum Platz ist. Etwas unlogisch. Es werden vom Hotel auch keine Strandtücher vergeben obwohl der Ort einen eigenen öffentlichen Strand hat.
• Peter (10/5): -
• Micha (7/5): - Leckeres Frühstücke, gemütliches Zimmer
• Andi (10/5): - Everything was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Loved the stay
• Efrat (9/5): Great Hotel - Small boutique hotel. Very stylish and clean. The ladies in the receptions were really nice and assisted us . We enjoyed our stay
• Kim (8/5): Lovely welcoming, boutique hotel in the heart of Saranda. Easy walk up the hill from the port (don’t get a taxi, unless - Loved the location, central but felt quiet. Beautiful old building and room was spacious and comfy. Great shower!
• Gerald Sheaffer (9/5): - Beautiful property, excellent service from the staff, decent breakfast, great location, One of the nicest properties in the city. Outside noise from corner bar and traffic horns, on the pricey side, initially our room floor and bathroom floor were dirty, but the staff took good care of it.
• Kathryn (5/5): We'd booked 4 nights, and stayed for 2. - A comfortable bed, nice toiletries, and a good location if central is important. La Fe was our final hotel, a treat at the end of 2 weeks travelling through Albania. But we were disappointed. From the pseudo Bel Époque style to its breakfast, it strived for luxury and failed in Albanian soul. The room we had reserved was restrictively small. The staff, lovely young Indonesian women, did not have the power to make changes without consulting the manager in Tirana, who did negotiate a better price on a larger room for us for part of our stay. The room had a balcony from where, looking sideways, a sea view was nice, but it faced a shabby deserted Post Office premises. The laundry service we planned on using wasn't available. Breakfast, in a large hall / bar space that echoed its emptiness, was a few slices of fruit that were too ice-cold to eat, hot petulla (doughnuts) with honey but no plates, and optional cooked breakfast that arrived cold. La Fe was the only hotel or guesthouse that disappointed. Why? Perhaps it tried too hard and lost the warmth and hospitality we had found everywhere else we had stayed in Albania.
• Catherine (10/5): Lovely and quiet place to stay in centre of Sarande - Lovely older boutique hotel right in the centre of Sarande but very quiet. Staff were really helpful too. Nothing
• Joëlle (10/5): - Schöne Zimmer, super Lage, sehr herzliches Personal, leckeres Frühstück - alles wunderbar!
• Gerald Sheaffer (9/5): Beautiful property, A oasis in the city, excellent location, great service, sweet boutique - Breakfast was good. The staff met every request with a smile and kindness. Location is excellent to the promenade and good restaurants and public beach. The suite was excellent, clean, and a roof top area for sunset and ocean views. Probably one of the most unique and best boutique hotels in Sarande. Not a party hotel. Those who prefer quality, good friendly service, and a unique experience. Nothing
• Michelle (7/5): Lovely 4 star hotel that needs improvement with their facilities and offerings - We booked the best and most expensive room in the hotel with balcony and sea view for the weekend, although the room only had a partial view of the ocean because the room (and hotel) face another building. The location is close to the promenade, which is great. Note, you have to walk up some stairs to access the hotel off the main street. The hotel and our room were lovely, and the ladies at reception were great! The breakfast was nice outside on the street seating. The aircon in our room didn’t work and we found ants in our bed. Reception nicely gave us another room for the night and fixed our aircon the next day. For 25 Euro/day the hotel offers parking on the street near the hotel. The problem is cars park all along the super busy road, blocking you in, so reception has to come out to help clear the road when you come and go with the car. We were told it was ‘secure parking’ but unfortunately our car was damaged shortly after arriving.
• Diego (10/5): Inmejorable. Mejor que muchos 4 o 5 estrellas que fui. - Todo. Es impecable. Todo de primera calidad. Nada. Tal vez que muchas habitaciones no tienen vistas, porque todas (creo que son 6 o 7 hab.) está en el 1er piso y hay edificios pegados. Pero lo compensa con todo el resto.
• teresa (9/5): - La situación, la tranquilidad del hotel, el personal, la limpieza y el desayuno
• Cláudia Raquel (8/5): Estadia confortável mas pelo preço esperava um pouco mais de serviço - Localização e limpeza No 1 pequeno almoço os fritos que colocaram na mesa estavam tão duros que não conseguimos comer. Talvez até fossem do dia anterior. Estavam impossíveis de mastigar de duros. No dia seguinte já estavam comestíveis mas ainda assim, não estavam acabados de comer como tivemos noutros alojamentos até mais baratos. Também numa das noites, de regresso ao hotel, optamos por sentar cá fora nas mesas. O objectivo era beber qualquer coisa antes de entrar e subir para o quarto. As funcionárias viram mas ninguém nos foi atender. Ou seja, o local está muito bem localizado e é limpo, mas está gerido de forma pouco profissional. São duas meninas muito simpáticas , balinesas, que fazem o possível … mas o possível é apenas o suficiente. Contudo tenho de destacar a amabilidade destas que fizeram a nossa cama (quarto twin), para quarto duplo (camas juntas ).
• michelle (8/5): very much enjoyed the hotel - Breakfast lovely and lots of it. Staff super friendly and helpful. No laundry service but not a big deal
• luciana (10/5): - Desayuno muy bien, completo
• Vlora (10/5): - Location was great, staff was very friendly
• Chipo (8/5): -
• Laura (9/5): -
• Victoria (10/5): The staff made the trip for us. And the breakfast! - Great location and fantastic breakfast, it was like a four course meal! The staff were amazing, incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Rooms were a little small
• Linda (8/5): - De aankomst bij het hotel was even zoeken, maar dankzij de hulp van een ontzettend vriendelijke medewerkster vonden we snel de juiste weg én een parkeerplaats. De kamers waren uitstekend. Bij aankomst mochten we zelfs kiezen welke kamer we wilden, en die bleek prachtig ingericht met fijne bedden – niets op aan te merken. ’s Avonds kwam er wel een klein minpuntje naar voren: doordat het hotel zo dicht bij het centrum ligt, hoor je de muziek en gezelligheid tot op de kamer. Oordoppen zijn dan geen overbodige luxe. Het hotel had deze helaas niet beschikbaar, dus die hebben we zelf aangeschaft. Hier ligt nog een kans om de service verder te verbeteren. Verder was alles fantastisch. Het personeel is supervriendelijk en enorm behulpzaam; het voelt echt fijn om na een dag zon, zee en strand weer terug te keren naar zo’n gastvrij hotel. Ook het ontbijt was heerlijk: een ruime keuze, verzorgd met een glimlach. Kortom: een aanrader!
• Dorothy (9/5): - Heerlijk ontbijt met zicht op zee!
• Ingrid (10/5): Luxus - Für mich war alles Perfekt! -

• Pauline (7/5): Bien pour une nuit Max - La qualité du service. Les filles à l’accueil ont été plus que top Tout fait fake et la vue de l’hôtel était contre un mur c’est dommage
• Tara (10/5): We loved the location, a beautiful boutique hotel close to the ocean. The property is as beautiful as the photos. Highly - The property was impeccably clean, employees were welcoming and accommodating, the building has been beautifully renovated- the decor and interior is stunning, the room is spacious and beautifully appointed. The breakfast and sitting on the terrace was a highlight. N/A
• Medhi (10/5): Magnifique - Petit déjeuner délicieux La literie L’accueil L’emplacement
• Carlos (4/5): - Nos dieron una habitación al lado de la cocina del bar y del baño. Ruido. Lo peor la gerente una grosera. Una pena porque el hotel es lo único bonito de Sarandë
• Rashida (10/5): Great service. Fabulous luxury - Everything was exceptional
• Meko (10/5): -

• Rashida (10/5): Perfection.Great location. Wonderful attention to detail as far as service, luxury, interior design. All very tasteful a - Luxurious Clean and well located. Attention to detail. Great interior design. Luxurious towels , bathrobe,bed linen. Delicious breakfast. Coffee and drinks from the bar. Great staff who could not do enough for you. Very helpful owner/ manager. Just all round boutique and charming. Would stay again and certainly recommend.
• Colman (10/5): - Fabulous stay! Thank you so much! 😊🌞
• Blerina (10/5): - Location location location I was super impressed with Lafe Boutique Hotel — such a great last-minute find! The location is perfect, right in the center of everything. The interior is beautifully styled, and the staff are incredible — especially the lovely girls from Bali who were so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was cute and delicious, just what you need to start the day. While the rooms are on the smaller side, it really didn’t bother me at all because the location and overall vibe more than make up for it. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight — peaceful and charming. Would absolutely stay here again!
• cagri atakan (10/5): Perfect quality - Everything perfect for sure if i travel saranda again we will stay there
• Nasi (10/5): - We loved the friendliness of the staff. The hard work they put in to the place, it shows how committed they are to the hotel. I highly recommend it
• Anna (8/5): Lovely bed! Great staff!! - The bed was very comfortable. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. We had an issue (unrelated to the hotel) and the manager helped us to solve it very quickly. Really nice great staff!! The rooms are not incredibly big- but the bed makes up for it.
• Abraham (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very kind and helpful....they went above and beyond to help is with everything parking included.. Nothing there was nothing negative to say
• Ermal (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (1/5): False advertising. Worst experience ever. - Nothing We made the mistake to book this hotel fooled by the reviews and photos published in booking.com probably all paid for. The room we booked was a deluxe room at a price of 135€ per night at the beginning of May. On our arrival they showed us the room. The room was much smaller than advertised in booking.com - so small that we struggled to open our suitcase. The windows were looking to a wall situated 1 m away and to the geysers on the roof of the building next door. The room was advertised as having a private terrace - they forgot to mention that the terrace was accessible via the main corridor and that every guest in the hotel could access it and therefore look directly into the room. The bed, again, was smaller than what was advertised. The bathroom was so small that after a shower the entire bathroom was wet and like a swimming pool. All deluxe. When we asked the reception lady for another room she showed as a standard room and a superior room. Then she called the owner to ask if she can move us to the superior room. The owner apparently agreed. Then after we had moved into the room the lady came back asking for an additional 100€ for 2 nights - even though the price diference of the rooms is 10€ per night. After that the owner arrived to the hotel. She sat at the reception desk and called us like if we were waiting at immigration. When we explained the situation to her, she responded very condescendingly and told us that we don't understand old buildings. She also told us that we should have read the description on booking.com properly. This was ironic given the number of falsely advertised room details - including, size of bed, size of room and private terrace (see above). We told her that we prefer to cancel the last 2 days since we were not going to be happy after the service we had received and she responded defensively that the cancellation policy is 2 weeks and that if we don't pay she will get our money from booking.
• Jo (1/5): DO NOT BOOK - The worst experience I’ve ever had. Misrepresented room description, no “city view” but the back of a building and large pipe. Manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. We left the property immediately.
• Camilla (8/5): Very good - the breakfast wasn’t buffet
• Durim (10/5): - Meget bra hotell, hyggelige ansatte. Veldig behjelpelig! Ingenting å klage på
• Dr. (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tiffany (10/5): The hotel was beautiful and the breakfast outstanding. Wonderful location - The hotel was beautiful and the breakfast outstanding. Wonderful location
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Location, staff, breakfast all excellent. Room and bathroom both very, very small. Too small for two people
• Reena (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel decor is elegant and beautiful. Everything is designed for your comfort including heated floors. Walkable distance from beach and shops. Breakfast was great and staff very friendly.
• Colin (9/5): Superb -
• Maria (10/5): If you like calm and comfortable places you should stay here. Lovely amenities and delicious breakfast - The breakfast was amazing!!! The staff and owner are super kind.
• Mariah (10/5): What an absolute GEM of a hotel. We are so grateful we booked this hotel for our 3 night stay in Sarande. The hotel was - The property itself is the cutest boutique hotel! Everything from the small size, the beautiful finishing, the beautiful rooms, bathrooms, all of it! Nothing - all was far above expectations!
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathryn (10/5): Beautifully-styled accom with loveliest breakfast ever - La Fe has been one of our fave accoms - great vibe. Whilst it’s a little back from the sea/esplanade, it’s only a minute walk away. Calm, beautiful styling and the loveliest breakfast ever with view of the sea. Defs would recommend.
• Egle (10/5): A small & cosy boutique hotel where you feel genuinely welcome and well cared for - This is a true boutique hotel tucked away in the old town - surprisingly quiet given that the main street is just a few steps away. The interiors are beautifully decorated with great attention to detail, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious - one of the best we had in Albania. n/a
• Daniel (9/5): Comfortable, easy, welcoming stay! - We had a truly lovely four-night stay at La Fe Boutique Hotel. The proprietor and staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. They were so accommodating—especially when we needed help finding parking on a crowded street. Our room was spotless and the location was terrific. La Fe was a great find and we recommend it! Better signage on the hotel facade, since La Fe is located up some steps from the street.
• Vikki (10/5): Lovely boutique feel, clean, helpful staff and great breakfast included - Really clean. Central location and nice staff
• Mark (9/5): A stylish boutique choice in Saranda - Central location with parking across the road, new decor but in a different style, friendly staff, nice breakfast, boutique with only half a dozen rooms Some noise from the street at night, we were the only guests, which was a bit unusual, price was at the upper end of what we paid in Albania. Overall Saranda was too touristy for us.
• Jose (10/5): Exceptional - Location and breakfast is really good Rooms are really nice and new There is missing a good concierge service to recommend activities and restaurants nearby
• Sara (4/5): Regrettably, we cannot recommend this hotel. - During our ten-day trip to Albania, every other hotel exemplified hospitality. Unfortunately, LaFe was the exception. We booked a standard room two days in advance, and the reservation was confirmed. Shortly before our arrival, we received an email stating that the CVV number for our credit card had not been provided (though this was not requested during booking) and that our reservation could not be guaranteed. When we arrived, there was no warm welcome. Instead, we were curtly told to pay for the room immediately or leave, citing past issues with other guests. Tired from our journey, we complied. Upon departure, we were interrogated about minibar use and instructed to wait until staff verified that nothing had been taken. Only after confirmation were we allowed to leave. This stay stood out as the sole negative experience across four trips to Albania. The hotel manager, who appears not to be Albanian, created a tense atmosphere. While the four Indonesian staff members were kind, they seemed nervous. The reception and breakfast room were freezing—unheated in late December, possibly due to low occupancy—symbolizing the overall discomfort of the stay.
• Xheni (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (10/5): An absolute gem of a place to stay and so pleased we found it❤️ - The building and its beauty was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the suite which was absolutely stunning with fabulous balcony views, the decor & bedding was second to none and we loved our stay. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommended😊 Nothing
• Sutton (10/5): A very luxurious stay - The location is unbeatable. It is right near the main strip and close to shopping, the beach, and restaurants. There are blocked-off parking spots specifically for hotel guests. If you have any issues you can ask the receptionist to help. Breakfast was incredible and there was a lot of food offered. There are no menus offered but the staff will verbally list the offerings. This was very difficult for the French, non-English speaking couple next to us so just keep that in mind if you do not speak English. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything felt very luxurious. The location is on the main strip which can be a little noisy at times. Someone was shooting off what sounded like fireworks late at night.
• Arnoldas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lindita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vlad (10/5): Exceptional - this is brand new hotel, in old villa with luxury rooms and very nice staff and delicious breakfast. Everything you touch or use there is branded thing, starting from bathrobe ending with WC
• Ola (8/5): Very good -
• Ngoc (10/5): Fabulous - Decorations, amenities, proximity, staff Nothing
• Onofrei (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brian (6/5): Pleasant - Location good, breakfast interesting. No view. One might not have expected a sea view but the wall of the next block 3 feet away was not so good.
• Aron (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property, everything is done with great attention to details. Service impeccable. We were late for check in and the man called us and waited beyond his working hours. Clean and lots of luxury touches. Someone had a taste in decoration. Best location in town. Not found any fault
• Maxine (9/5): Superb -
• Edmond (10/5): Exelente -
• Herodjan (10/5): Perfect! - New Nothing.
• Luminita (10/5): A boutique hotel like in the stories! - Everything was perfect, everything is of quality and very nice in this hotel! The hotel it is situated in center of Saranda, near beaches and promenade. However, it was not noisy at all! The manager was very friendly and helpful with us! And all another staff, too. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who is a very nice and friendly lady. I'm glad that I chose this hotel and we hope to come back next year!
• Jacqueline (10/5): Great place to start exploring the region from. - Lovely boutique hotel in a great location in Sarande. Easy access to everything from there. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The rooms were immaculate and the breakfast delicious and copious.
• Zarif (10/5): Beautiful Boutique Hotel - Beautiful boutique hotel located right in the center of Sarande with shops, restaurants and the bus station all within walking distance. Although located so centrally, it was quiet as the hotel is on a side. Rooms were spotless clean and new with everything needed. My highlight was the breakfast- super fresh ingredients and a variety of savoury and sweet dishes served by the incredible kind and friendly ladies. Although I travelled alone, I felt very safe in the hotel and had a nice stay.
• Melek (9/5): Perfect stay in heart of saranda - Suite was perfect, furnishing was gorgeous, breakfast was nice, it was not a buffet, you had to ask them what was available, no menu available. But we had avocado sandwich with omelette, orange juice and cappuccino, very little fruit. But the room was the most gorgeous thing, close to lots of restaurants and shops.
• Spiro (8/5): Luxurious stay, poor breakfast. - Stayed in the deluxe double room as a couple. The hotel is luxurious for a fair price. ALL the amenities you can think of. All the facilities and equipment in the room were 5 stars. There is also parking included Breakfast was poor, and its a fixed menu. You get served once and thats it
• Oumar (10/5): an absolutely wonderful experience! - The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing vacation. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and sea.
• Amarildo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mehmet (10/5): Perfection -
• Emma (10/5): Perfection - An absolute gem of a hotel right in the heart of Sarande. This place is pure luxury, the rooms are stunning, the beds are super comfortable and the breakfasts are delicious! A must stay if you’re visiting Sarande, we’ll definitely be back.

• Marida (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (10/5): Elegant, serene and classy. - Location was perfect, the attention to detail was exceptional. The room was finished to a high level giving that luxury feel. Breakfast was beyond our expectations. The ladies serving added to the elegance of Le Fe Boutique. Nothing .
• Luciano (10/5): Exceptional -
