The rooms are a bit old

The staff was super nice and helpful. I asked if they had dairy free milk and they didn't and the next day they bought it for me!

The hotel is at the end of a downhill so it is tiring to get all the way up both by car and on foot. The rooms are a little bit old.

It is very close to the beach and it takes two minute to get to the umbrellas. The breakfast has multiple choice and they try to vary it every day. The room has a great view and clean and they change towels everyday.

We loved that it is outside of Saranda crowds, has access to a few lovely beach areas just un front of the hotel. The breakfast was tasty and home made with enough options, the kids enjoyed the little playground in the garden.

City centre is little far away but we even enjoyed the 40 minute walk.

El Mare Hotel exceeded our expectations. Our room had an amazing sea view and spacious balcony. Hotel owner and other employees are super friendly and helpful. I have never encountered such hospitality anywhere before. Very good breakfast- they offered a lot of different options. Rooms are really clean. Nearby beaches are great as well. We would go back anytime :)

The location is amazing. Easy to walk downtown at night. The hotel is right by the beach. Clean and spacious rooms. And the garden is cosy for having breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. But the absolute best thing is the host! He is an amazingly warmhearted person who made our stay wonderful! Helped us with everything, made us feel at home. Such an amazing person! ❤️ Will definately recommend anyone to stay here. And we will definately want to come back.

Every morning there was an extremely loud noise like a dryer or extractor fan going at ninety for 2 hours from like 7am to 9am and it was so noisy! We found it difficult to sleep, it took over the whole room.

Wonderful stay! The 2 main employees, men, at the desk and breakfast, were absolutely lovely, so attentive and nice, offering extra eggs and sausage at breakfast etc. We arrived a day late as I’d had food poisoning at another place in the north, and when we got there they said we didn’t have to pay for the first night we’d reserved but not stayed, so kind! The room was very clean, really big and had a nice view to the beach. Great location and quiet.

The room we had was a bit tiny, without any place to dry swimsuits. But we could manage - we used the balcony chairs :-)

Very nice small hotel operated by a local family. Excelent breakfast, beautiful sea view from the balcony and a private beach just in front of the hotel. A lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, daily room service.

The breakfast was fairly standard but there were a lot of flies and some of the items definitely sat out too long, especially towards the end of breakfast times.

Staff were very helpful with check in/out and anything else we needed. The room we had had a very large balcony with lovely views.

The hotel is on the seashore: the owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is varied, excellent and tasty. The rooms are spacious and clean. The terrace with a view of the sea and the city is excellent. All recommendations for this hotel.

Nothing!

We had an amazing week in Sarande in El Mare thanks to Bjerti and all the other people working in the hotel. They are running the hotel since this summer and they are the most helpful and friendly people. The way they help out with all sort of problems at any time of the day is amazing. The view from the balcony is amazing, breakfasts were great, rooms are cleaned very well every day, aircos work amazing, parking is easily accessible, literally 20 meters from the beach, garden is nice and kids can play. Also the family of Bjerti is around in the hotel, his parents are the best, wife is really helpful as well. Whenever the kids or we needed anything they always fixed it with a smile. Also one of the few public beaches is really close, and when there are too many waves there is the river really close (5 min walking) where the kids can swim freely. Its a 3 star hotel, but it has a 5 star service! Hope to see you guys again soon!

Incredibly friendly and kind staff, helpful to their guests. The owner was extremely welcoming and made us feel like at home! It has a fairly good location, near the shore. Breakfasts are delicious and fresh, with various products, pastries and fruits. The rooms are very convenient and clean. Great offer with a reasonable price.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and we highly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The room we stayed in was immaculate. It was clean, very cozy and aesthetically pleasing. One of the standout features of this hotel is its beautiful garden. It provided a serene and picturesque setting for a morning stroll. The lush greenery and well-maintained flowers added to the overall charm of the place. In summary, our experience at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of a clean and comfortable room, a delicious breakfast, and a stunning garden made our stay enjoyable.

Me (albanian - italian) and my Boyfriend (italian) stayed in the hotel like 6 nights and we wished we stayed more! our room had a balcony with an amazing view on the sea and the city of Saranda. The room was super clean and provided with what needed. The sheets and the towels smelled really nice and we loved that! The owner and his family were incredibly welcoming and made us feel like home! The breakfast is variated and big and will keep you full! The hotel is just a few steps from the beach and has a beautiful garden where you can relax! Around there is everything you need: shops, supermarket, bars, restaurants, beach ecc. we would have loved to stay more but we will definitely come back and we highly suggest to choose this hotel for your stay!
