Reviews of Emily’s Hotel

Perfect View was incredible Free sunbeds on the beach Staff are delightful Really good food place below

A safe in the room would make it even better

Litrally on the beach was really good spot great view and comfy !! 👌

Nothing really sticks out too be honest !

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

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

Location! So close to the beach. Incredible view of the sunset

Teenager wearing bra at the reception almost like a joke, on the phone the whole time while checking in. Blackout twice. Completely in the dark for a period of time.

Great location, not so crowded

The rooms facing the sea are renovated and well equipped. Comfortable bed, bathroom. Quiet airco. Room was cleaned daily once asked. Speedy and easy WiFi. Friendly and helpful staff. Beach shades and beds included.

Only one room key available. Lack of breakfast.

The room was spotless clean everyday. The location is perfect, just steps away from the sea.

Location, room was perfect (nicely redone), Great seaview

If I had to pick something to critique, the beach chairs could use an update and you could provide beach towels for guests. Everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend!

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.

-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!

This property doesn’t offer breakfast

Nothing

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.

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.

The hotel is located right on beach with beautiful views

right on the beach, had a lovely balcony, and the room was nice and clean. It great value for money, also the hotel had it's own loungers out the front so we didn't have to pay for day beds at beach clubs- would definitley recommend
