Glow Boutique Hotel & Suites

The good: -Beautiful reception area/breakfast area. Decor is lovely. -The rooms are very spacious and clean -The shower is powerful and holds its temperature well -The view from the rooftop pool is gorgeous -The rooftop pool area was lovely and clean and there were always beds available -Good selection of foods at breakfast buffet, all you could ask for- fruit, cereal, pastries, eggs, usually some forn of meat (sausage, bacon), cold meats, cheese, salad, bread. They do not charge extra for standard coffee. -Nice outdoor area to enjoy breakfast Reception staff friendly -Comfy bed -Peaceful inside the hotel -Good Air con in rooms -Pay no attention to previous reviews that say you can't take drinks and snacks in. It is a hotel rule, however staff did not once check bags or stop us entering the hotel with snacks/drinks -Lots of restaurants close by -Ice cream shop downstairs opens in evening and is lovely The not so good: -Hotel is not accessible. There are around 15 steps to get in and out of the hotel from street level. However, the whole of Sarande is not accessible- wouldn't recommend this location (hotel or town) for people with mobility issues. -Breakfast staff weren't always friendly and welcoming -No toaster at breakfast (though staff will toast bread for you if asked) -No tea/coffee making facilities in hotel room- this is mind boggling. Every single hotel I've ever been in provides this- its not good enough! -Most hotels give at least 1 bottle of complimentary water per day- not here! -Pool bar is no longer open, at all so if you want a drink you must go down to reception. There is no way to order a drink up to the pool. -Had a sea view room on 3rd floor, although lovely, view is Obstructed somewhat by trees and buildings -you probably wouldn't want to spend much time on the balcony anyway- traffic noise prevents any relaxation -Beach towels are past their best -There is no shade on rooftop, need umberellas! Just to note the date of this review is incorrect. We stayed in August 2023.

Very nice place. It's clean and frendly place. It's close by to the see. Staff is frendly and speak good english. It's litle bit far from center but becuse of that you can enjoy some quiet. I recomend this place with clear conscience. In surrandings you will find lots of good restaurants. Good relation price for service.

The hotel was amazing - so clean, everything was spotless. Location wise you can walk to restaurants or bars. Free parking under the hotel and staff were really accommodating. Pool is free to use (unsure on previously reviews saying it costs?) Breakfast was amazing. They also ironed your clothes for you free of charge.

An amazing gem ! The glow hotel was fantastic. The view was breathtaking, the pool was great and the service superb. We had a wonderful stay with them ! There is free parking and includes breakfast at the hotel. PS : I do recommend their ice cream shop, it is totally worth the stop :)

First impressions were “wow!!!” The foyer is stunning, very chic but also elegant. Our room was stunning, with a wrap around balcony so we could choose between a sea view or watching the world go by. The room was modern, very clean & just fitted out exquisitely. Breakfast was yummy with everything you’d expect, my treat each morning were the pancakes with Nutella. The bar was stocked up with all the favourites, really enjoyed having a drink foyers balcony. Most impressive though were the staff. They were so so welcoming, so friendly and it was a real pleasure chatting to them. Gloria runs reception & her proficiency was undeniable. She was super friendly, really helped us when we needed it and just went above and beyond to provide a perfect experience at this beautiful hotel. We enjoyed chatting to Riku at the bar most nights, his customer service was exceptional. Such a lovely lad and we wish him all his best in his career! He really added to our holiday! The young man who looks after reception at night was also super lovely and I’m sorry we didn’t catch his name! Please book this hotel, it’s worth every penny & would love to visit again!
