    The owners are the most kindest people i've met on my trips. Few bad things happened to us on our stay and they were very heplful every time when we needed. They do excelent servise and also make amazing pizza in their restaurant. If you are not looking for some fancy, luxury hotel this is the best choice you have. I mean it. We stayed only for 3 nights, but we loved them.

    The shower should be redone as it’s not very comfortable. There is not the structure of the shower so water is everywhere in the bathroom

    The position is so good as it’s central to Ksamil. The hosts are kind. Breakfast is good

    The hosts Arjan and Anja were the perfect mixture of friendliness and professionalism. It felt like visiting old friends. From the moment we stepped in till we left they took extra care for us and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. The room was clean and very spacious. It was equipped with all the necessary amenities. Bonus point :they make extra delicious pizza which can be delivered to your room Can’t wait to get back

    Everything was perfect!

    We stayed as two sisters and from the first moment, Ari and Aniesa made us feel at home. Ari is one of the funniest person we've ever met. When I had a stomach ache, Aniesa even made me herbal tea herself, which really helped. They are truly the kindest and most welcoming hosts we've ever met! The hotel is very close to the beach (4-5 mins walk), restaurants, and the bus stop to Saranda and Butrint (2 mins walk). Everything was amazing—cleanliness, service, location. We're so glad we stayed here and highly recommend it!

    We loved every second of our stay in Ksamil, thanks to Aniesa and Arian - our lovely hosts! They received us so well and we really felt like home. The location is perfect, you are close to the centre, where all the hustle and bustle is. Breakfast was amazing, everything is home grown and local. Thanks to our hosts again - we did get some nice recomendations where to go in town and what to see/do, appreciated as coming from a different country. We would definitely be coming back again soon!

    Hotel is better than you see in the pictures.

    Ari and his family run the place, they are very friendly and helpful, just like family. They can help you with all the information you need. The hotel is located on the main road, Google map take you to the back road, so be careful with that. It is just few minutes walking distance from Poda beach bar. Nice parking place and also you can quick wash your car if needed. They made the traditional Albanian breakfast Petulla for us. I would definitely recommend this place if you want get away from commercial hotels and foods.

    Nothing, perfection all around.

    Hotel Arsenal is absolutely the place to stay in Ksamil. The owners are so incredibly kind they make you feel like family! The breakfast is exceptional — served buffet style and with lots of options for every taste. The rooms are bright and clean and the bed is so comfortable I had trouble getting out of it in the morning. As a solo traveller, I felt safe and cared for. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! I will definitely be back and encourage friends and family to stay here when visiting Ksamil. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent at Hotel Arsenal and am already looking forward to the chance to return!

    From the moment we arrived we knew our stay at Hotel Arsenal was going to be delightful. Ari, our host, extended us the warmest of welcomes and together with his lovely wife, Ana, they made sure we had everything we needed and they spoiled us with their generosity. This was, by far, the best experience we have had during our two weeks in Albania. We can highly recommend this property if you are looking for a wonderful time in southern Albania.
