3 Best Hotels in Albania

Convenient to Ksmili, Butrinti, and several quiet beaches, this gleaming, up-to-date hotel prides itself on making your stay as pleasant as possible. Don't let the nondescript exterior put you off—the rooms are bright, spacious, and comfortable with ample beds, modern furnishings, and clean, sparkling bathrooms, all offering new fixtures and large showers. Best of all, front-facing rooms sport spacious balconies with lovely port views.

Close to the port at the end of Saranda's popular promenade, this bright, modern hotel's location can't be beat for vistors who want to be close—but not too close—to the action. Though small, all of the hotel's rooms are clean and pleasingly spare, with functional modern furnishings and bathrooms, and some with ample terraces.

For a spectacular view and the most in-room space, opt for a corner room on or above the 4th floor.

There is no restaurant, but a copious buffet breakfast is included in the price.

Right on the promenade, with sweeping views of the port from each of the rooms, this family-run hotel has plenty of charm and a pleasant welcoming vibe. Rooms are spacious, clean, and functional, with the big bonus of a wide private balcony with superb views of the port where fishermen bring in the daily catch.
