Guest Reviews
- Waqas (10/5): -
- Aisha (8/5): Great experience & lovely staff - The suite was nice and spacious and modern. The air con was great and was very comfy I paid more for the suite with sea view and still got a side view so it was pointless paying extra when I could’ve paid for a suite with side sea view for less.
- Marina (10/5): - Non ha spiaggia di sabbia
- Viacheslav (7/5): -
- Partizan (8/5): -
- Adla (10/5): - The hotel was great especially the reception team, Sayanna especially (if I got her name right). She was absolutely great she is the one that checked us in and we were just two girls and she took care of us and gave us many recommendations. If we ever come back to Sarande, this hotel will definitely be booked again
- Shashidhar (1/5): -
- Jose Carlos (6/5): - Zimmer mit Balkon und Aussicht aufs Meer,die Lage Parkplatz Rauchen im Frühstücksraum Frühstücksbuffet lässt zu wünschen übrig.
- Abdurahmon (10/5): The best hotel in Saranda, many thanks to the stuff for making my trip unbelievable. Recommend 100 %. See u soon) -
- Abdurahmon (10/5): The best hotel in Saranda, recommended 100 %, many thanks to the staff. Thay are doing their work perfectly, see u soon. -
- Owusu (10/5): My stay was truly amazing, the staff are great - The property is clean,good location with great view
- Dhyani (6/5): Hotel not up to scratch during off season however reception staff incredibly kind and helpful - - location was great
- staff really helpful and kind (special thanks to sayana who went above and beyond helping with all issues)
- room views fantastic- we were upgraded due to room issues
- there was parking available onsite - The room facilities had issues: toilet leaking, room was not clean, old toiletries left in bathroom, not enough sheets and bedding for sofa bed, phone in room did not work,
-Breakfast was often cold and no taste (no salt or pepper or any sauces)
- Restaurant area smelt like cigarettes constantly
- Was informed that pool would be open prior to booking, however outdoor space was not set up properly
- Małgorzata (7/5): - Lokalizacja bardzo na plus. Śniadania jak na to że byliśmy w kwietniu, to były całkiem spoko.
Personel bardzo miły i pomocny- na recepcji szczególnie. Przed rezerwacja nie było nigdzie napisane że piękny basen i stoliki przy basenie są obecnie w remoncie.
Zamiast pięknego widoku był plac budowy. Polecam zadzwonić przed rezerwacją i zapytać czy gotowe.
W restauracji, gdzie było śniadanie pozwalają palić i śmierdzi. Wszystkie czujki dymu mają nakładki, żeby nie wyło.
Generalnie hotel na pierwszy rzut oka ładny, ale jakby się przyjrzeć to wokół pełno niedoróbek.
- A.Nushi (10/5): - Very good location with wonderful room views
- Preeya (7/5): Beautiful location, clean rooms, lovely staff, horrible breakfast experience - The location was great, beautiful sea views within easy reach for the beach and promenade.
Parking was easy and allowed easy access to the hotel for luggage.
Good signage- easy to locate.
The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel allows smoking inside, so as soon as you walk into the basement level (the dining area) you were greeted by an overwhelming smell. Not great, especially first thing in the morning!
The phenomenal view from the breakfast bar was ruined by the stench of cigarettes.
Having stayed I several places in Albania, I was disappointed by the breakfast options- very limited, no fresh fruit, cold eggs etc. The coffee was terrible and the juice synthetic.
- Sodiq Oreoluwa (10/5): Enjoyable - Great stay at the hotel. The environment was comfortable, clean, and very welcoming from the moment you arrived. A special mention to Sajana and Eri at reception, who were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They made check-in smooth, answered every question clearly, and were always ready to assist with a positive attitude. Their professionalism and kindness really made a difference to your overall experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free stay. Nothing
- Montse (8/5): Las chicas de recepción han sido estupendas. Dispuestas a facilitar y q ayudar en todo. - Moderno y actualizado. Demasiadas personas fumando en el área de desayuno.
- Alisa (8/5): Huone oli siisti ja raikas, mutta hotellin opastukset olivat puutteelliset - Huone oli siisti ja aamupalaa hyvää Hotellin opastukset olivat puutteelliset. Lisäksi hotellissa oli paljon viimeistelemättömiä paikkoja.
- Riya (10/5): Excellent location with lovely sea view room. Clean, and helpful friendly staff - Staff were very helpful and kind, providing recommendations and showing a great level of care and flexibility for their guests. Excellent location next to the promenade. The room itself had a lovely balcony with sea view, and facilities were very clean.
- Carol (6/5): Un desastre - Que tenia aparcamiento y el personal de recepción muy amable. Estaba en obras, sin avisar, no pudimos disfrutar de la terraza, permiten fumar en interior, en el desayuno no nos ofrecieron ninguna bebida caliente.
- Laurence (6/5): Matig - Uitzicht vanuit de kamer Ontbijtbuffet was koud de eerste dag. Het rook naar sigaretten in de badkamer. Er werd gerookt in de ontbijtruimte. Duur voor wat je krijgt
- Karolina (10/5): Pan z recepcji był miły i pomocny. Dziękujemy za podwyższenie standardu pokoju - Lokalizacja i duży zewnętrzny parking. Otrzymaliśmy gratis wyższy standard pokoju. To niestety „urok” całej Albanii, nie wiem jak w innych hotelach to wygląda ale tutaj palenie papierosow w restauracji w której są między innymi sniadania jest dozwolone. Trzeba płacić dodatkowo za kawe i wodę w butelkach
- Chinonso (7/5): -
- Irmeli (8/5): strandläge och närhet till stadens centrum - Vi var här i februari och då var det tyst och lugnt. Hittade en strandstol som jag flyttade till närmast vågorna och där kunde jag ligga och lyssna på vågorna och beundra mkt vackert utsikt helt ensam .Magiskt och mkt avslappnande. Det är det bästa med ett hotell med strandläge. Med kläderna på för det var februari . Rummet var också fint, vi hade fin havsutsikt. Staden kunde nås efter en kort promenad på 5 minuter. Hotellet såg delvis ut som en byggplats ,både ute och inne, bygge byggmaterial i korridoren till rummet och ute vid poolomr"huller om buller " på gången mellan hotellet och poolen- denna del rekommenderar jag att man städar undan på , för den tittar man på från balkongen och det ser skräpigt ut . Solstolarna var stapplade på varandra men det var några som låg fritt och en av dem kunde jag lätt flytta närmast vattnet vilket var bra. Frukosten var en tallrik med kalla bröd och lite ost/gurka och stekt ägg och vi fick betala för thé separat första dagen. Vi var mkt missnöjda med detta då vi bott på många hotell under åren och dagen innan också på ett fint hotell i Tirana där thé förstås ingick i betalt frukost . Nästa morgon kom det en vänlig man till vårt bord och inledde med att säga att thé ingår i frukosten , så de hade ändrat sig efter kritiken från oss vilket ju var mycket positivt. Brödet var också varmt ,vi hade klagat på det kalla brödet dagen innan.Hoppas det är ändrat för evigt . Frukostbuffé är endast under högsäsong , bra veta om du vill ha buffé. Vill du lyssna på musik, använda poolområdet fråga hotellet vilka månader dessa aktiviteter finns.
- Palak (10/5): -
- prabhakar (3/5): - Very bad maintenance rooms are good but no pool maintenance and not supportive.
- Clarisse (9/5): Superbe - Emplacement, équipement et la vue Bruit de travaux des 8H
- Jean (3/5): Não recomendo - Localização e área da piscina Limpeza é ruim, funcionários da recepção não foram prestativos, café da manhã fraco e ficamos sem água por vários períodos em todos os dias além de faltar luz por um dia inteiro. Água do chuveiro fria e arrumação do quarto é mal feita.
- Kwadwo (8/5): - The location
- Markus (9/5): - Lage perfekt - Frühstück in Ordnung. Besonders gut war der Privatstrand mit genügend Liegen und das Service allgemein war ausgezeichnet. Die Musik war bis 00:00 Uhr ziemlich laut.
- osnat (9/5): - מיקום פצצה, שירות אדיב נוף מושלם
- leyla (7/5): Nice location but not for that price service and organisation and friendleness was not 5 star - Location was good Everything seemed hard , it seemed un organised
No one to help you with suitcases at check in
- anat (10/5): - המלון מהמם, יפה ונעים
רמה גבוהה. המיקום מושלם.
כל הצוות מקסים!
האוכל במסעדה של המלון טעים בטירוף!
מלון מומלץ ממש!
- Piotr (10/5): - Spędziliśmy w Grand Hotelu wieczór sylwestrowy na balu zorganizowanym przez hotel. Śmiało możemy polecić hotel pod każdym względem. Wszędzie ciepło, obsługa bardzo przyjemna, uśmiechnięta, chętna do pomocy. Właściciele bardzo gościnni, można było poczuć się jak członek rodziny. Nie ma takiej rzeczy.
- Adelajde (10/5): -
- Roselyn Baffoe (10/5): I will give them 80% they did very well especially the lady at the front desk - It was ok but the lady at the front desk did very well Food they should have many varieties of food
- robert (7/5): -
- Joseph (7/5): - Breakfast
- Daxini (10/5): -
- Farah (10/5): -
- Doris (10/5): - Wunderschönes Hotel direkt am Meer. Top Frühstück. Sehr sauberes, geräumiges Zimmer (Doppelzimmer superior) mit top Aussicht sowohl am Tag und in der Nacht. Würden sofort wieder kommen.
- Kelvins (7/5): Overal it was good - Amazing beach club, good alcohol, tasty cocktails, good pool, first beach line.
Tasty food in restaurant. Our sink was disgusting — it had a lot of sealant or something similar in it, and the room was very small, with the air conditioner having only one setting.
- Sven (10/5): - This is a very nice hotel with a very pleasant atmosphere. We especially liked the hotel’s own pool, bar and beach area allowing to enjoy both sun with sunset and water. The staff was very helpful with tips for Saranda itself, for sites to visit in the surrounding and helped in organizing the tours. The hotel is close distance to all needed amenities in Saranda.
- Kalinka (9/5): - La piscine et le bar de l’hôtel
Le personnel très disponible et très serviable
Très bien situé
Très propre
Très bon restaurant
- jerome (8/5): -
- Tuna Halil (8/5): -
- Mandy (10/5): Eine schöne Woche, bei bestem Wetter (funfact: Saranda hat etwa 320 Sonnentage im Jahr). - Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und eine Mischung aus europäischem Standard und lokalen Spezialitäten. Sehr lecker und immer frisch und mehr als ausreichend. Die Lage ist sehr zentral, man kann alles fußläufig erreichen. Wir hatten nichts zu beanstanden!
- Akhil (9/5): - The location of the property was excellent 👍,the staffs are good.it was a clean place and a perfect place for relaxation The air conditioning system in the room was fixed in 21 f.sometimes it feel hot
- RACHELIT (6/5): - המיקום טוב, הריהוט בבריכה,,נוף מהמם אם החדר פונה לים החדרים באמצע שיפוץ, ארוחת בוקר דלה מאוד, חדר קטן ,אי אפשר לפתוח מזוודה ולעבור,
- Serkan (7/5): -
- Sofja (7/5): -
- Charleen (9/5): -
- Claudia (8/5): Super Lage, schönes Hotel - Super Lage, direkt am Meer mit eigenem Strand, Sonnenliege und Sonnenschirm. Nach wenigen Gehminuten erreicht man viele Restaurants, Bars, Supermarkt, usw.
Große Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet, da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Freundliches Personal. Leider funktionierte das WLAN im Zimmer nicht. Das Waschbecken im Badezimmer war leider auch nicht so ansprechend, leichter Schimmel.
- Kristyna (9/5): -
- Esteban (8/5): Decent option - - location: 5 mins walk from promenade with plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops nearby. a supermarket literally in front of the hotel
- breakfast: good breakfast served in daily basis
- decent sun beds at sea side (this hotel has no beach, but you can swim)
- good pool
- polite staff - Cleaning: The bathroom was absolutely disgusting, in the shower. sink was disgusting enough to think twice before washing your hands
- internet signal weak
- food at the beach restaurant really really low quality
- Britta (9/5): Insgesamt ein toller Urlaub in einem schönen Hotel mit fantastischer Lage - Der Empfang und die Betreuung im Hotel war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten ein Zimmer in der oberen Etage mit einer gigantischen Aussicht auf das Meer und Korfu. Die Zimmer sind gut isoliert, so dass man die Musik (die einige wohl als störend empfanden) nicht gehört hat.Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Die Außenanlage ist schön und modern eingerichtet. Vom Strand aus hat man einen herrlichen Blick auf Saranda. In wenigen Minuten erreicht man die Promenade. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Nur ein paar Kleinigkeiten: Im Badezimmer fehlen Haken für Zusätzliche Handtücher. Ein Zahnputzbecher und eine Seifenschale wären gut gewesen. Eine kleine kleine Nachttischlampe wäre schön gewesen, damit man nicht immer das große Licht benutzen muss. Auf dem Balkon könnte man noch Stangen für die nassen Badesachen anbringen. Das Licht auf dem Balkon brannte die ganze Nacht, so dass wir nicht bei offener Tür schlafen konnten.

- Pawadee C Trengereid (8/5): - Vi liker privat strand. Personalet var vennlig og hjelpsom. Frokosten var veldig flott. Sengen var grei og gode puter. Vi visste ikke hvordan det var med regler for romservice. Det var ingen lapp vi kunne henge utenfor rommet for romservice og vi fikk ikke romservice før 3. dag. Badet var ikke så rent. I kleskap luktet veldig dårlig og det var ikke mulig å bevare klær i det.
De spilte høyt musikk om kveld. Min forventning var å ha rommet øverste etasjer, men vi fikk rom i 1. etasjer. Rommet ser ikke samme som det viste på bilder på Booking.

- Klaudia (10/5): -
- Leonie Carina (7/5): Angenehmer und entspannter Aufenthalt mit kleinen Makeln - Gute Lage, Strandzugang und Pool Bereich super Sauberkeit (im Bad), teure (nicht verhältnismäßige) Preise beim Essen und Trinken (z.B. 7€ für 0,33l Bier)
- Нурлан (10/5): - Понравилось все.
- Danielle (8/5): - Prefect naast de boulevard en aan de zee. Heerlijke bedjes aan het water en leuk restaurant en bar. Lekker ontbijt. De airco koelde niet goed genoeg dus we hadden het warm.
- Kyle (9/5): -
- isma (9/5): Geweldig - Locetie en infinity pool. Beperkte keuze qua eten aan het zwembad.
- Moumita (9/5): - Exceptional location. The pool bar was awesome Prices for pool bar and restaurant expensive

- Christina (9/5): -
- Nejla (1/5): -
- ines (10/5): - L'emplacement, le personnel tres sympa, la propreté et le service ++++
- emilie (10/5): I highly recommend this hotel - We booked this hotel last minute on Booking after narrowly escaping a scam in the city center and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! The welcome was warm from the very first moment. We had a small issue in our room (a leak in the bathroom), but the team immediately found a solution, even though the hotel was fully booked. They even arranged for our room to be right next to our friends’, which we truly appreciated.
A special mention goes to the restaurant staff. Our friends arrived very late, after the kitchen had already closed, yet the team kindly prepared sushi for them so they wouldn’t go to bed hungry after such a long trip.
Tourism in Albania is developing quickly. Overall, not everything is perfect yet and there is still room for improvement. But we were genuinely happy to return to the hotel, which had everything we needed to relax and enjoy ourselves: pool, beach, sunbeds, DJ… the perfect atmosphere.
A huge thank you to the entire team, especially the restaurant staff (our “foufou”), for their availability, professionalism, and good vibes, which made our stay so enjoyable from start to finish.
I highly recommend the Grand Hotel Saranda! There is room for improvement, to make it 1000% perfect. I would suggest to add more options for the « included » continental breakfast, like fresh local fruits, smoothies, fresh orange pressed Juice, Greek yogurt etc (you can order them at the bar).
- Horst (8/5): Really nice renovated hotel would stay again - Really liked the beach and free beach chairs. Staff was great and very helpful Room very small for price and breakfast started at 8, that was a little late for us.
- Conceição (8/5): Hôtel avec une plage privée - Hôtel avec un plage privée, ce qui à Saranda est un plus. Le petit-déjeuner est bon. L'Hôtel est situé près du centre. La wifi marchait très mal et était tout le temps en train de tomber. Je suis arrivée un samedi et j'ai pensé que lors des quatre nuits je ne réussirai pas à dormir. Heureusement, pendant la semaine c'était plus calme mais le week-end c'est difficile de dormir à cause du bruit. La musique termine à minuit mais le bruit des voitures et des gens dans la rue continue!
Pour un hôtel de cette catégorie, je pense qu'il y a des choses à améliorer: l'aspirateur qui reste, pendant la journée, dans le couloir avec un balai... pas très professionnel.
La piscine est petite et m'a semblé sale et veillotte.
Pour le prix, je m'attendais à plus.
- Anita (9/5): We komen zeker terug! - Ontbijt was prima, elke dag net iets anders. Goede bedjes aan de zee. Geen onbeschofte mensen die handdoeken gingen neerleggen en dan de eerste uren niet meer kwamen.
Heel vriendelijk personeel. Koffie was erg slecht maar je kon tegen meerprijs een goede koffie kopen. Muziek was heel erg hard.
Er stonden geen ligbedden aan het zwembad zoals wel op de afbeelding stond.
Het prijsniveau was veel hoger san ik had verwacht van Albanie.
- Ryszard (7/5): -
- Guilhemjouan (10/5): -
- Goocello (9/5): Superb -
- Marin (9/5): Superb -
- Taylah (5/5): Disappointing - Nice location, outside the hustle of the main town but not a far walk. Close to some lovely restaurants. The sun loungers and beach access was great. Breakfast had good options. Plenty of parking if you are hiring a car. The hotel says it has sound proofing, the music outside is very loud and goes on until midnight and that can be heard inside the rooms. You can also hear everything happening and everyone talking in the corridor. It seemed like the hotel had been rushed to be finished as the quality and craftsmanship in our room just wasn’t up to scratch. The sink was disgusting and had corking/silicone all over it and the shower drain would flood after every shower. The functionality of the bathroom the door didn’t stay open. Outdoor facilities wise at the end of the day the pool had a gross disgusting film over it like it needed cleaning. During our stay the hotel had 2 power cuts the second one being at night time when we were in our room. We were stuck in pitch black and when asking staff they were very unhelpful. It took around 30 mins for it to come back on both times. My partner contacted the hotel prior our stay as we were going for my birthday and he tried to see if they could do anything like a small surprise for me on the day however they didn’t respond to him. Overall we had a really disappointing stay here, we were really looking forward to staying at a more upmarket hotel which is a shame as we spent extra money to stay at a 4 star hotel expecting quality we didn’t receive.
- Harriet (9/5): 10/10 we love it here - Pretty much everything. The staff were so friendly, the hotel is gorgeous we felt right at home from the minute we arrived. Everything we ate at the restaurant was divine, the private beach was such a great perk. We love love loved it It would have been useful to have labels at breakfast to indicate for allergens, but other than that our stay was pretty perfect (:
- Elle (9/5): Wonderful - The kindest staff, great location, great hotel. Our maid was the star of the holiday, she was always so happy and kind No beach, and loungers by the sea are all in the shade but good selection around the pool. Not a great breakfast but was okay
- Aadarsh (9/5): Excellent staff, excellent food, excellent location - Everything, the staff was superb and the location was fab. The property was great, I was very happy with everything, the only thing i found a bit short was the size of room, but that was was acceptable given the views.
- Mehdi (10/5): Exceptional - Çdo gje perfekt. Pozicioni buze detit, stafi shumë bashkëpunues,ushqimi shume i shijshem, bari jashtëzakonisht i këndshëm. Do ja sugjeroj me kenaqesi te gjithëve.
- Janusz (9/5): Great stay, hotel situated close to restaurants and pubs , promenade - Breakfast a bit repetitive. Nothing to complain about
- Melissa (8/5): Great views and location, with very accommodating staff - The location was great with nice sea views, and just a short stroll to the main town. Really enjoyed the private access to the beach with sun lounges. Unfortunately the music from the downstairs hotel bar in unnecessarily loud in the evening and blaring past midnight, if you’re after an early night it’s very disruptive. The finishes of the hotel were not all complete.
- Ferenc (9/5): Superb - Everything was perfect, Tutto stato perfetto, minden tökéletes volt. The restaurant and bar 10/10. I don't understand why they play music in the pool until midnight, when no one is there. And the volume of the music is unacceptable. I gave the hotel an 8 just for that. Otherwise it's a 10!
- Raphaela (9/5): Superb - Very good, me and my friends spent 10 days , we can’t complain about anything… Very food facilities..
- Maria (9/5): Good relaxing stay at the beach - The location so close to the sea with direct access to
Private beach. Nice bar, close to the boulevard and centre. Good restaurant and breakfast The music of the bar stops at 12. The restaurant inside ( we couldn’t sit outside because of the weather) is empty, unpleasant. Everything is based on sitting outside in the bar or at the swimming pool. It was with open windows so people could smoke, not nice.
- Joginder (8/5): Very good -
- Martin (9/5): Superb - I liked the beach bar and pool and loungers by the sea. Staff at the pool bar were very accommodating and attentive.
- Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - The location and staff were great. Anna at check in and Ande at the pool bar were lovely and helpful. The waterfront sun beds are great for relaxing. The music was a little loud on the first day but they lowered it down for the remainder of the stay which was nice. Sea view rooms were beautiful. There was construction but it was only at 11am and 1pm, which was reasonable and typical of the area. I'll definitely be back again at some stage. Only thing to add is, please add some hooks in the bathroom for towels and maybe a bin in the room, there was only one in the bathroom.
- Kathryn (10/5): Perfect Sarande hotel - Amazing hotel for a stay in Sarande. Great location walking distance to the main town and on the waterfront with sunbeds and a great pool area to enjoy drinks with some music. Rooms could use a few additions ie towel rack and waste bins. But otherwise great comfortable room.
- Sandra (5/5): Okay stay but I’ve definitely stayed in better places - The view from the rooms facing the water is beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. There was Netflix and other streaming services available although the TV volume was set to be very low so difficult to watch anything without subtitles. The hotel was very well situated for accessible movement especially if you’re depending on public transportation and about 100yds to the promenade. I particularly liked that the hotel gave 2 daily complimentary bottles of water to their guests. The breakfast wasn’t nice. They offered the same meal daily and the food was too dry. They also don’t have any gluten free options. There wasn’t a towel hanger and bin in the room. The bathroom was open planned meaning one usually had water all over the floor after a shower. The male kitchen staff on my last day was discriminatory to me which I didn’t quite appreciate but chose to ignore. The music from the pool usually filters into the room especially at night. Also, we started hearing hover noises right outside our room at 8:30 pm without any prior warning from the hotel staff.
