WiFi on the 3rd floor didn’t really work. When I said something I was told it was “impossible”. Well…apparently not. Encouraged me to read instead but you guys need to get a better signal upstairs. I would also suggest a full length mirror and somewhere to dry wet stuff, but really just a suggestion not a complaint. For some folks it might be a little noisy but I barely noticed it and slept like a baby. With all the above please know I highly recommend ❤️

Cute place in old town right on the main drag. Market close by and lots of restaurants/bars etc. it’s pretty far from the beach and you will need to walk/taxi it to the shore, however this was something I didn’t mind which is why I booked here. I enjoyed the walk. Feels like a lot of love was put into fixing this place up, with still a few things to be done. Simple hippie vibe, clean, simple and comfortable :) Breakfast was amazing but if you are vegetarian or vegan make sure to let them know!

Only one little problem which can't really be helped is that I was kept awake by someone (not my husband, but from another room) snoring. Nothing the hotel can really do about that but it did leave me rather tired the next day.

The Buddha House Hotel and Cocktail Bar is a lovely little boutique hotel right in the centre of the Old Town. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and we were greeted with a smile every day.

Lovely little hotel in a great location. The room was small but very cute, with good air conditioning to keep it comfortable. The owner was unbelievably welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. A charming place for a short stay.

Staff was exceptional, good advice, great company and amazing breakfast. Location of the hotel was great! Right in the center of the old town, away from the crazy strip.

The hotel is still very new, so just a small suggestion. A towel railing in the bathroom would be helpful.

Everything about this place was spot on! The 3 owners offered exceptional & friendly service. The breakfast delicious & huge! Location is in old town amongst the well known painted villas (very pretty) & about a 20min walk to the beaches or you can take a bus ride or a 'very cheap 300lek' taxi ride! The bus from Himare or Dhermi stop up in town, closer to the beaches, so a 300lek taxi also. However buses north like to Tirana & Durres are just a close walk from the hotel in old town, very convenient when continuing north. Vlore is a very easy city to get around.

For light sleepers, I recommend bringing some earplugs because the cafes on the street turn on music as soon as they open. We had some and everything was fine.

Lovely staff, beautifully-decorated, super clean, a 15-minute bus ride to the beach, fantastic breakfast!

In the heart of old town great location, great old nostalgic building, Kind staff. Also breakfast in the morning highly recomended!

Literally no complaints at all. Worth noting that there isn’t parking on site due to it being in pedestrian street, but we found somewhere very nearby to park in the road for free.

The room was so cozy and well designed, we stayed in the front room with a lovely balcony with a view of the pretty street, and moments away from some great restaurants. Breakfast was a very filling selection of pastries, toast, omelette, sausage and salad. The manager was so amazing, really friendly, giving some recommendations for dinner which we followed and were great, and accommodating of all our questions and needs, he clearly takes his business seriously and is devoted to his customers.

Everything was perfect, I was fascinated by the historical texture and the cocktails downstairs. I would like to thank all the staff and the owner for making me feel at home. This is a location that will be an excuse for me to come back to Vlora

There is a bar across the streat called Comiteti. The music till almost midnight, in the morning starts again 9-10 a.m. The place is everything but "quiet". If your are a lover of summer street/night life, would be great for you. Otherwise take the ear plugs. Actually, should be provided for free as complimentary.

The owner was very kind. Free welcome coffee. Rooms stylish an clean.

No parking available.

The location in Old Town is great, The room was a bit minimalist in the bathroom needs some work. Everything was functional but not well designed. A bit cramped.

Nothing.

This place is absolute gem in Vlore. Next time we will come to Vlore there is no other place we are gonna even consider. Owner was so nice and friendly. He clearly knows how to make guests feel welcome. He gave us a free coffee before checking in. Showed us the room in person and told us everything about the building. It is 200 years old, he left original floors and ceiling panelling. It is the best quality and definitely resonates with Buddha. It is minimalistic but in a very good way. Everywhere is real wood, even breakfast bowls are eco friendly and wooden. He gave us a free room upgrade as we booked a room with garden but there is construction going on behind it so he said he doesn’t want guests there if he has other rooms available. And when I tell you the balcony we got instead was so nice, it is worth every penny. In the evening we got some drinks, he knows what he is doing because they were delicious. We even got a free shot of jaggermaister with coffee, something we never had before! Was nice. Breakfast was okay, Turkish coffee was really good, as the owner is from Turkey so you can imagine. He also feeds all the stray cats that walk around there. Absolute sweetheart. He is really open for a chit chat. Hope his hotel will be full every day, especially after they will open airport in Vlore. Wish this hotel all the best! It exceeded our expectations!!! Wish I could submit photos of the property because it has such a great vibe…

The staff are incredibly polite and friendly. They go above and beyond to provide you everything you need. Lovely historical , colorful area. Good breakfast. Excellent location in the heart of old town, close to the beach and 15 minutes walk to the seaside. Nothing to mention. If you want to feel the sprit of the city, definetely you should stay old town. Especially here!
