Reviews of Royal 1967

The pool with the views. Peaceful setting. The rooms were also clean, big and comfortable. We had a nice breakfast and orderd some cocktails at the bar. De family who runs the hotel is very nice and helpful.

A gorgeous family run hotel which was incredibly relaxing. The pool was great, the kids spent hours playing in it. The family were all so lovely and went out of their way to help us — giving great advice about where to eat, the best beaches and boat trips to take. They sent us off with loads of food for the kids and great recommendations for stops on our way back to Tirana. Highly recommend, we had a wonderful time.

If we could give this place a higher score, we would. Everything was brilliant and you feel like you become one of the family. From arrival (helping us park the car) to check out, they couldn't have done more. The recommendations that were given were great (boat trips and sunsets) and they booked it all for us! The location is just a short walk to the main beach and the pool / bar area is perfect to chill. You can even walk up to the castle in 15 / 20 mins! Breakfast was exactly what you want. Homemade / fresh produce, served with a smile Rooms were well decorated and very clean. Views from the balcony were great too! 100% recommend. Wouldn't stay anywhere else if we come back to Albania.

Everything was beyond perfect 💕

Beautiful location. Infinity pool is great to relax in in the heat and has fantastic views. The family who run the hotel are friendly and will use google translate to communicate if needed. Breakfast was self-serve and had a good range of pastries, eggs and bread. Parking is underground under the hotel but is spacious and keeps the car cool. Situated slightly up the bank from the main promenade in Himare (approx 10 mins walk) but this wasn't an issue for us. Hosts helped us order food to the pool as well from a local takeaway which came quickly and was reasonably priced. Room was basic but clean and the AC and wifi worked well and there is a hairdryer in the bathroom. Hosts also could give good recommendations for food and places to go - we ate at Eteki and Piazza and both were great and had a day out at Livadh beach which was around a 10 min drive away. Great stay and would come again!

We had some problems with no hot water and the hosts dealt with it quickly and got an engineer out to look at the boiler. There's a few wasps around at breakfast but the host did his best to try and chase these away!

The family really made this place, they were so friendly and welcoming. And the infinity pool Was awesome

Andrea and family were very welcoming and always happy to help with recommendations. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, really good variety. The pool is a real plus especially as it was 34C when we were there and about a 1km walk to the main beach. All very clean and well looked after.

The only recommendation was that the king suite have more utensils and items to be able to use the kitchen (e.g. kettle, coffee machine, tea towels)

Lovely host family (very kind father and daughter duo) and very clean rooms. We also really liked the breakfast and it's nice to have a pool with mountain view.

Getting in and out with the car was a bit of a hassle but the father will help you out by parking it for you if he's around and you need help. Other than that, there are just some details that could be improved for the price, like having proper (and more) hangers in the wardrobe and water in the fridge when checking in

Fantastic family hotel. So welcoming and pleasant stay. A lot of help with beaches and restaurants nearby.

There was a small challenge with the aircondition. The family fixed it within one day and went beyond to support.

Family run accommodation - excellent on every level. Staff fully invested in making our stay memorable - all were warm friendly and very helpful. Restaurant recommendations boat tour bookings pizza delivery - they help with everything. Facilities excellent- pool divine. Walk down the hill into town about 10 mins. Small supermarket 2 min walk. Fun vibrant feel to our stay. A very warm welcome to the Albanian riviera.

Very clean hotel. Good location, 10 minute walk to the centre of Himara. Nice & quiet.The staff were amazing. The most important question would we stay here again......definitely yes. The owner even dropped us off at the bus station, so kind! Highly recommended.

The pool was nice.

We really wanted to like this family-run hotel, but several disappointments made our stay less than ideal. While it's only a seven-minute walk to the boardwalk/restaurant area, the location on the busy main road into town creates an unpleasant experience with scattered sidewalks that aren't enjoyable when you're dressed for dinner. Our clean room unfortunately looked out to a patio/retaining wall, and the breakfast service fell short with limited choices, items running out like yogurt, and an awkward system requiring guests to ask for everything. The drip coffee instead of an espresso machine was another letdown. Though we considered switching hotels, we ultimately decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

This property is amazing. The view and the pool area are incredible and so relaxing. The property is very spacious both inside of the room and around common areas which makes it very comfortable. There is private parking. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every day with lots of variety. The room was cleaned daily by the lovely and kind cleaning staff who were also around the property all day, and really add to the family atmosphere as they are always welcoming and happy to chat. Above all, the family that runs the property are what make it such a nice and comforting place to stay. They embrace you into their family with open arms and really easy to spend time with. They offer guidance and help not just with tourist attractions but with providing anything that can make your stay there easier. Andrea was attentive and kind, offering fruit from the family garden and ensuring that we had everything we needed. Moreover, it was the meaningful conversations with each of the family members throughout our stay that would ensure we return back.

There was very little to complain about with this property, everything was perfect. One very, very small thing was that the shower in a room was slow to drain and could fill up the bottom and spill out onto the bathroom floor; but extra floor towels were provided to soak up the water (but this is just nit-picking, there was really nothing we didn’t like)

Very nice swimming pool with a great view and bar!! Walking distance from Himare center was OK. Very friendly host, we enjoyed the offered house Raki. Easy private parking. Good breakfast on the terrace with the same great view!

Airco in 1 room was not properly working. The airco started up but did not cool the room.

Andrea is a wonderful host. She ensured we were comfortable and all our needs were met. She even gave us plums, to eat, from the family orchard. The beds were comfortable, and breakfast was great.

Nothing

The pool was great, breakfast was fantastic the rooms were spacious and rhe host were very welcoming and helpful.

Views, pool, breakfast, owner was a real character and loved sharing raki shots with you.

The Compromise for the beautiful view was that the hotel was a little walk out of town and a hill climb up. This did not bother us though.

Lovely rooms, great pool, run by a charming family. Really great hotel. About a 10 minute walk into the main town with a supermarket nearby. Lovely breakfast too. Highly recommend.

The place was run by the most lovely family who will go far out of their way to make sure you feel at home. It is situated a bit out of town but the view makes the walk so worth it, absolutely stunning with a lovely pool area. Included breakfast is nice with local and home grown produce.

Our stay at Royal 1967 was wonderful. The rooms were clean and the pool was lovely. Andrea and Fotis were such a delight to talk to and made sure we had everything we needed. I plan to come back again :)

Everything was great

The people were helpful and attentive: we got a blanket on request and we could take hot water which we needed from the machine. It was nice having a parking spot for the car.

The air conditioner was smelly and unmaintained - damp and unpleasant smell coming from it. The ventilation in the bathroom was so thorougly dusty (unmaintained for a long long time) that there was no way for moisture to get out. These are not everyday housekeeping problems, these are more thorough hotel management issues. Also the drain in the shower was almost blocked and we had to fix that ourselves in order for the water to go down. The breakfast was minimalistic, but that was okay - at least there were eggs, which is the main thing for us. But the coffee was really subpar, never had such weak coffee. I felt really uncomfortable by the way the owners treated their cleaning staff.

The Ronto family (hosts) were exceptional. There simply is not another word for it. They went above and beyond what a normal host would to accommodate us and look after us during our stay. The pool is beautifully backdropped and always clean. The hotel was a short walk to the beach and main part of town, but ideally situated if you like to stay a little further away from the night time noise like us. Our suite was huge and we couldn't have wanted for anything more really. The whole place far exceeded what we expected of a small hotel in Albania. We would love to return one day!
