Customer reviews
Great Stay in the Heart of Sarandë We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located right in the center of Sarandë—just a short walk from everything you might need. It’s also a great base for accessing many local excursions and tours. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety each morning. One thing that really stood out was the accommodating staff. On our last day, we had to leave early to catch the ferry, and they kindly prepared a quick breakfast for us before we left—such a thoughtful gesture! The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The only downside was that the hotel does not have an elevator, so we had to carry our luggage up to the 5th floor, which could be challenging for some. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended for those looking to explore Sarandë.
I stayed at Saranda Star Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with comfortable rooms and all the basic amenities you might need during your stay. The location is also excellent – close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, yet in a quiet area that allows for a good night’s sleep. What truly sets this hotel apart is the owner. He is incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, he went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. He gave us great recommendations for local restaurants, helped us arrange transportation, and was always available if we had any questions or needed assistance. His hospitality made us feel at home and really enhanced our overall experience in Saranda. I would highly recommend Saranda Star Hotel to anyone visiting the area – whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or solo. The combination of comfort, location, and outstanding service makes it a perfect choice.
I highly recommend Star Hotel Saranda! The owner is extremely helpful, honest, and genuinely cares about the comfort of his guests. The room was clean and well-equipped, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. We will definitely come back!
I had a very nice experience at this hotel, impeccable service, very clean rooms, great location. Everything was absolutely amazing.

Nice and clean hotel right in the center of the city. Friendly hosts and many things to do nearby.
Extraordinary hotel, especially for the price range. Center of Saranda, the host was the most welcoming and hospitable I've ever met. Very clean, and great service and breakfast. Would definitely come here again when I'm in Saranda.
Service was excellent, both during check-in/out or at breakfast. |Rooms were new and clean. Air conditioning was also great with night mode that is highly appreciated. |It is very well-located. |Breakfast is ok, they can also make an omelette for you.
Just finished two weeks tenure at this hotel. Overall very satisfied. Hotel is located near the city center and public beaches. Venue is monitored with security cameras. Very short walk to inter city bus stops or port. Grocery shop with good prices nearby. Room was super clean and new. Owners are involved and caring people (this is the main differentiator and biggest value in my opinion). Breakfast food was tasty. Did not experience problems mentioned in other comments such as weak wifi or lack of hot water in the morning.
We were very lucky to find a room available to spend one night in Saranda: it's the perfect place, close to the seaside, clean, very well mantained. The room was surprisingly quiet, spacious, well equiped and comfortable. The breakast is rich, and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly yet absolutely professional!
My room was perfect...with all amenities needed and shower pressure which I love! Service was more than great! Aldo was very kind and always attentive to our requests. Breakfast was good too with many options to chose from. Location is really good...2m walk to the promenade!
2 families stayed from June 26th to July 6th 2023||The whole town or Sarande is situated in hills and the entire area is very steep. Prepare for a lot of walking up and down. |Star Hotel is located on the 4th street uphill from the city …
The hotel is in a great location, with steps down to beach and promenade, a 2 minute walk. The owner, Ornest is a true gentleman, even driving us to the port. We stayed in room 506 which was new, super modern, well decorated, large in …
The location is perfect, the rooms are spotless clean ! The breakfast is abundant, a lot of variety and delicious fresh food. The proprietary of the hotel and the staff are really polite and helpful. I come in this hotel 3 years in a row and will choose it again if I come in Saranda.
nice hotel, with clean and spacious rooms and very friendly and acommodating staff. the breakfast was great and the location was very convenient, in the center of Saranda. The shower however wasn't the best, since there was no curtain so everytime we would take a shower, we would also wash the whole bathroom as well.😅
The rooms were nice, clean and simple. Very helpful and amazing with my kids. The breakfast was good. Both my husband and son are picky eaters and they found it very tasty. The location is perfect.
We stopped by for 2 nights - we are 2 families, and it was one of the cleanest and well-kept hotel rooms we visited during our whole trip in Albania - in full europian standards!||The rooms are really clean, the towels are great, the beds …
Modern and comfy rooms, super clean and great bathrooms. Located in the heart of Saranda, it made our vacation easier to access everywhere, we parked at the hotel and everything was few minutes walk. Staff were very friendly, especially the …
Great hotel in the center of saranda with included breakfast and parking. In June only 30 Euros per night. The rooms were modern and very clean. The manager is a very nice guy who is always there for the guests. We loved it and are looking forward to visit it again. Highly recommended!
Spotless and the owners are very kind and helpful. Both times that we went, before traveling to Greece and on our way back, the rooms were nice, with a lot of light and as I said very clean. We had troubles with where to leave our car and the owner was very kind to help us.
The staff was very nice, open-minded and helpful. They recommended us some things to see around, how to go there or even call a taxi,... They wonder us what we wanted for breakfast to better it (it was already very good). Rooms were very clean with a terrace to relax. ||I really recommend this hostel!
It has been the second time staying in this wonderful hotel! The rooms are modern and they have everything you need in there even a smart tv to watch netflix. It is very clean and comfortable.I also like that you dont have to wait for clean sheets or towels because there are extra closets with clean stuff that you can get any time in terms of need.The prices are more than fair and the staff is very friendly. Very happy to have found this place. I am defenitly coming again 😊
Very good location, clean hotel, good breakfast, also suitable for children. whatever you need, the staff is always ready to help. You also have free parking.
I stayed there for a night in March outside the peak season. The stay was great! Freshly renovated room and everything in tip-top condition. I got excellent personal service! The location is also great, right in the centre of Saranda.
Perfect location,, perfect breakfast,,perfect behavior from all the staff.. comfortable bed and very clean room.. Very good choice and definitely we suggest to choose for your accommodation in this beautiful city.. Well done xxx
I was on business trip, but they makes me feel like I am on vacation... The hotel is new, clean, rooms are big... you can choose room with a sea view... breakfast is great. Free parking is also good thing to have in mind when you book hotel in Saranda...
The hotel is a family own hotel, the service is very good, the breakfast might not be as rich in some chain hotels but it was personalized for me and my family! We had a very pleasant stay here! I hope I will visit again soon!
Great localization in decent price, breakfast were good but they should provide it all the way during breakfast time. Rooms were clean and as descripted.
Really nice place to stay if you are visiting Saranda. Nice breakfast, nice and clean room? The sea is 100m from hotel. All recommendation 👍
You get what you pay for. During my 12 days in Albania this was the place with best breakfast. The manager of the hotel is very helpful and friendly.
