    - a few hooks for towels / wet swimwear would be helpful - a coffee machine and utensils / cups would make the room perfect

    This hotel is amazing - the view over the water is stunning and the sunsets are so good! Amazing value for money given the beachfront location and the view, absolutely worth the cost. The room was large, light, air conditioned, cleaned daily, very comfortable bed and large shower with a view over the water. The staff were so lovely, always happy to help and very welcoming Beach chairs included and 10seconds to the water Lots of good restaurants close by and 20mins to the main town if needed. A mini-market is also across the road

    -Thin walls could be an issue for some but generally clientele and type of accommodation made it a peaceful experience. - The beach chairs out front and to the left of the restaurant are supposed to be used by hotel guests only. Others are meant to pay. Some came from all over and took chairs and left their stuff there during the day but only used for a little while and then left...When the owner approached us initially, he didn't even ask if we were guests, he just told us it was 800lek for a chair and didn't say he was the owner so it seemed like a random guy taking the piss and asking for money. When we told him we were guests, he apologised and said he was the owner. Was a strange experience. The owner only seemed to target women from what we saw, even though we pointed out others who were not from the hotel...maybe he knew them or something, just reporting what we saw and experienced!

    We stayed in the corner room that had the shower looking out over the ocean (wish we took a pic!!) and was a bit more spacious and our friend stayed in a smaller/standard oceanview room, right at the top of the stairs.... If you are on a budget but want to have a fabulous, relaxing, peaceful, BEAUTIFUL ocean-front stay, then Emily's is your place. We could have easily stayed a month! It is located on the quiet side of Himare, but Himare is small so you can theoretically walk everywhere you need within 25min. You are literally on the ocean with about 25m of sand between you and the water! Beautiful sunsets, stunning water, free beach chairs with umbrellas for hotel guests in the front/to the left of the hotel...MAGIC. Rooms were turned over daily and staff were all super helpful and friendly when around. I will say that if you are looking for a 24/7 staffed front desk and want more than a basic room (very comfy, clean and cute with everything we needed but not luxe in the sense of having a kettle, tea, coffee etc) then don't stay here - those are probably the main reasons it doesn't cost as much. Our friend, who had the room directly at the top of the stairs (205) had a lot of noise from people going up and down etc.but really was a small, quiet hotel in general. I don't think the walls are super soundproof.

    Not a negative, but we did have to ask for a blanket and glasses. Both of which were provided hastily, but just know you have to ask and make sure it’s before they leave for the day.

    This hotel and location were nothing short of perfection. The beach is absolutely stunning and it is literally right out the front steps of the hotel. I’d read about the lounge chairs needing TLC, but they are plentiful and comfortable, and serve their purpose (and looked identical to those at the neighboring beach clubs). The beach is clean (rocks - bring those swim shoes!) and the water absolutely stunning. It was never packed and we always had a chair and a nice swim in the water. The room is clean, and seems brand new. But the star is the balcony and the view. There is free parking out front, and we never had to worry about the car. The hotel is a little outside the main Himare area, but I think that’s a plus. The main public beach seemed crowded and overrun. We walked to the main area to take a boat trip, and it was an easy 20+ minute walk. Despite being a little outside the main area, there are delicious restaurants within walking distance, a market just down the street, and overall just seemed better for the vacation vibe. For the price alone, this hotel can’t be beat.

    The location was perfect, just a step away from the sea. Restaurants and shops were just a minute away, everything you might need is within reach. The room was comfortable, clean, and new. The tranquility at night was amazing—there was no noise at all. I would definitely rate this a 10!

    Only minor things - would recommend providing glasses/cups for the guests 🙂 Check in was slightly confusing but probably as Booking.coms fault... said the room was ready to check in, but when we arrived, it wasn't. Only had to wait ten minutes though on the beach ⛱️ Seemed to be a cafe or seating area on site but we weren't sure. Definitely come here!

    Perfect location - couldn't be better! Room on the ground floor with nice big balcony, overlooking the sea. Hotel is at the end of a lovely bay. Room was basic but bright and clean with nice pink walls and a fridge/wardrobe. The sea is crystal clear and lovely for swimming. Definitely recommend and would love to come back, sad to leave!

    The only downside would be that its a good 20/25min away from the Himare Promenade which isnt an issue if you have a car. But for those that like the quiet and peace this hotels probably at one of the nicest parts of the beach

    Highly recommend the Ocean view room - the hotel is literally on the beach and thats the best part. Very clean rooms and modern no complaints at all. Would recommend this hotel

    They could have a bit more tlc and decorate the hotel a little better - especially the reception area a little bit of decor and plants could do magic ;)

    The room would benefit from a kettle and cups, especially when the restaurant downstairs is closed. The cushions on the sun beds are old and tatty and should be renewed.

    The view of the beach and sea from our balcony was superb. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
