Art Hotel

Great view. The Receptionist was very helpful, and welcoming. The room was good with a working AC. Glad we choose the property for stay. We were given a discount for the 2nd and 3rd night. Our room was upgraded to a sea view with balcony. The breakfast was buffet with we had sufficient to each before heading out each day. The receptionist was helpful with restaurant location for dinner with good taste and reach to visit. Above all, we enjoyed our stay

We booked a 2 bedroom which was on top floor with stunning views of the ocean, Sarande and mountains. The room was by far the best we have stayed in Albania (stayed at 4 others). The photos of the rooms don’t do it justice and look better in person. The check in was on the ground floor and you enter on the 2nd floor and our room was on 5th floor so lots of stairs or use of the small and slow elevator. The pool was a highlight of the hotel with plenty of seating, shade and close to the bar and restaurant. Plenty of parking at the front of the hotel so not a problem however driving to Saranda Main Street is a nightmare and finding parking is very difficult. We generally parked on main road in front of Santa Quaranta which is also a stunning resort with beach access, pool and easy walk to shops and restaurants. The air con was fantastic as we travelled in summer. Only advice I would give is to put sun block blind in main bedroom window as outside lights stay on over night which made it hard to sleep. If you want a luxurious hotel then this is the one. It is a 5 min a walk down a very steep hill then 25 min walk to Saranda City Beach. The walk up takes abit out of you as I was puffing heavily and only didn’t do it again so best is to drive. Ksamil was a 25 min drive so best leave early 8:30am to get parking and sun bed. Personally I feel Santa Quaranta Beach was by far the best compared to Ksamil Beach or Pulbardha Beach which seem to be very expensive and over rated. Definitely visit Blue Eye, Permet Hot Springs, Gjirokaster which is a whole day trip. I would recommend Art Hotel to family & friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
