Reviews of ARXONTIKO 4 stars

Beautiful property in a great area

You can’t use the balcony in the afternoon because there’s no shade. Have to pay for the full stay in cash, not a problem but would have appreciated someone telling me when I checked in because we had to rush to the cash machine at check out.

The room was remarkably clean and the staff stayed on top of it daily. The breakfast is a prefixed menu but it changes daily. One day it was traditional pancakes and the other day croissants, for the last day yogurt, always accompanied by eggs, sausage, fresh fruit and vegetables, and cheese. Loved the spread. Also parking is included and not too far from the hotel, like 50-80 meters. The owners were verh accommodating and kind. And the location is right next to the main promenade right in front of the sea making it easier for the morning/evening for a stoll. They also offer beach towels.

I would like if they had a line at the window to spread laundry/swimsuits after the beach since our room didn't have a balcony.

The location was perfect, and the owners and family were lovely. As soon as we got there after a long difficult drive, the owner welcomed us like old friends, gave us a seat and orange juice and whisked away the car to a safe parking place. Breakfast was yummy and diverse, and the room was very clean. Good energy saving mechanisms, and great AC - just make sure you shut the window or it won't turn on.

Our room didn't have a nice view, but we didn't reserve the a room that offered that.

Location was perfect, it’s a family business staff is super nice, rooms were cleaned and moderns!

You cannot pay for your stay or at the restaurant of the hotel by card

Perfect location, made to feel welcome on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble, and the food at the restaurant couldn't be better.

Great location, super friendly family owned business. Lovely breakfast, modern rooms. Everything very pleasant.

Be aware that only cash payments are accepted and bring cash accordingly.

Owner was really kind

This is a very charming, family-run hotel. The location is very central (mid-point of all the beaches in Himare) and it has incredible sea views. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the sea was a highlight. The room was comfortable and well-equipped. The restaurant serves incredible fresh seafood at very reasonable prices (try the grilled sea bass, you won't regret it) However, the true selling point of this hotel is the lovely family that runs it. They were so sweet and accommodating. I was a solo traveller and they made me feel like a member of the family and helped me with everything I needed (parking the car, recommendations, etc.) Thank you for an amazing stay, I hope to be back in the future!

There is nothing I didn't like, it was fantastic.

Friendly staff, nice rooms and a great breakfast.

It was expensive (probably about 5 times more expensive), compared to other locations in Albania but it would seem this is the price at the beach.

Everything is beyond wonderful at Arxontiko’s! Extraordinary quality hotel right across a small road from the main beach of Himare. Just a couple of minutes from a smaller, very well organized beach (called Platz i Maracit, I think). Arxontiko is clearly family run and the welcoming owners do everything to make sure you are comfortable and feel at home. Excellent restaurant with delicious breakfast and also served us by far the best dinner we had in Albania. The rooms are very comfortable with high quality mattresses and all the amenities you could hope for. The views from the balconies are extraordinary, you can see Albania, Greece (Corfu) and Italy all in one panorama.

Nothing to mention, everything was top notch.

It was very close to the ocean so that was perfect!! The view from the hotel was amazing and the staff was really helpful and welcoming.

There is no complaints.

The location and staff

Nothing

The hotel is in a great location right across the street from the Sea. Its central location allows for easy access to restaurants and bars on both promenades. Keep in mind though you won't need breakfast - the breakfast included with your room and served in the hotel restaurant is amazing and made to order. We also decided to have dinner in the restaurant and it was also very good. The rooms are spotless, roomy and have spectacular views of the sea. The best part of this hotel is the friendliness of the family who runs it. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and that you have a great experience. We stayed 4 nights and just can't say enough good things.

Nothing.

The property was right on the beach and had everything we could need. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and even got me a cake for my birthday. We loved it here so much we even extended for another night. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

The family was very kind and hospitable and made all the guests feel valued and treasured. The hotel is located right on the beach and you can enjoy the beautiful sunset from the hotel restaurant. There is garage parking next door and the hotel will help you park your car. The owner takes a lot of pride in the hotel and creates a memorable experience for all the guests

Absolutely Nothing to complain about

Excellent location and the staff were very lovely

Could have used different bedding, just a sheet and a quilt in the closet

Everyone at this hotel did all they could to make our stay wonderful. They were warm and welcoming. Breakfasts were phenomenal. The food was so tasty - home made and plentiful. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Excellent stay.

Nothing

A fabulous stay with this family run hotel. Nothing was too much trouble and they were friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. An ample lovely breakfast was included 10/10

Nothing to dislike.

Sad to leave ARXONTIKO after a lovely 3-night stay. The hotel had wonderful views of the water and is walking distance from lots of restaurants and nightlife. But if you’re looking for a great meal, you only need to go downstairs to the restaurant. The family who runs this hotel and restaurant have their own gardens where they grown their veggies, so everything was very fresh. The room was comfortable and modern. They provided beach towels free of charge. I should add that all the linens smelled delicious. Breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, a different pastry each day - my favorite was a croissant filled with chocolate, a fluffy omelette, orange juice, and coffee. Many heartfelt thank to Leonidas, Andreas, Melpomeni, Dimitris, and the rest of the ARXONTIKO staff for making our stay in Himarë so memorable, and for making us feel so welcomed from the moment we arrived.

The only thing I didn’t like was out of their control- the LED lamp on the street outside the room

Beautiful family-run hotel in a perfect location!

Nothing - everything was terrific!
