Palma City Hotel

Hôtel à déconseiller, sinon pour l'emplacement Points positifs : l'emplacement, face à la mer et l'amabilité de la jeune femme à l'accueil Points négatifs : il y en a beaucoup ! - les lits ne sont pas refaits d'un jour à l'autre (nous sommes restés 3 jours), ils se contentent de relever les draps ! (et ni vu, ni connu) - la propreté limite (la porte de la salle de bains est restée sale durant notre séjour) - la douche, sans douchette - les petits déjeuners très succincts (pain pas très frais, jus d'orange infect....) - et surtout, le jeune homme à l'accueil (quand on revient du restaurant, le soir), cette personne ne lève même pas la tête de son téléphone quand on rentre, ne salue pas. A la limite, n'importe qui pourrait entrer !

This isn't the best hotel in Sarande - not that I'd know because we only stayed here. If you walk around there are newer, bigger, probably 5 hotels all around. But covering the basics, Palma City is clean, nice room, beds are comfortable, the breakfast is ample and varied and very tasty and the staff are very polite (especially Alexa who is a star and a mine of information). However, if you are going to Albania for the first time - and so are probably adventurous but maybe a little nervous then Palma City is the perfect place to stay. As our late night ferry was coming into Sarande we were really concerned we would be in bother finding the place. No need, you come out of the port and it's there - you can see it on your right as you go up the escalator from the passport hall. The proximity to the port is nothing to worry about - the port itself is very small and there's never more than two ferries in. The other big advantage is that Palma City is actually very central while still being just on the edge - it's a 10 minute walk to all the restaurants in either direction. But it's far enough away that the party atmosphere won't keep you awake. The balcony gave a great view of the whole of Sarande and its surroundings and the pool was refreshing (and quiet) in the heat. Highly recommended - and when we go back to Sarande again, I can see us staying here.

To start with they gave us keys to wrong room, then the tv’s sound only stays on for 2-3 minutes even after telling them about this they did nothing Dirty skirting board, litter in room, lose toilet seat and tap, edge to bottom of unit with fridge missing, not a great experience and would not stay here again

Hotel położony przy głównej ulicy Sarandy. Wszystko pod nosem-sklepy, kantory, wypożyczalnie aut, przystanek autobusowy. Pokoje od strony morza mają piękny widok na zatokę i całe miasteczko. Hotel jest mały, kameralny i ładnie urządzony. Wszystkie sprzęty są nowe. Najgorszym minusem jest wyżywienie. Przez cały pobyt śniadania składały się z tych samych produktów. Obiadokalacje natomiast były letnie lub zimne. Hotel posiada basen i bezpośredni dostęp do publicznej plaży. Obsługa sympatyczna i pomocna.

I would definitely recommend this medium sized hotel on the main beach in Saranda. I was a bit disappointed that the pool did not, in fact, have any water in it - despite it being sweltering hot in mid-May, but apparently May is still "off season" there. We had a third floor room facing the Sea, and it was just wonderful having the big wrap-around balcony with a couple chairs. Great views of the beach and port area. I should mention that there was considerable noise until about 10pm on a weeknight in the port due to machines, etc. It was a very short walk to the main promenade, the produce market (everyday from 9am-2pm) and bus stops. The bed was not comfortable by western standards but the sheets and towels were clean, and staff were cheerful and helpful. It included a modest breakfast buffet too.

Peccato non si possano dare 0 punti. Di sicuro la peggior esperienza di sempre in un albergo. La titolare, oltre ad essere scortese incarna perfettamente il personaggio dei Miserabili che ospitava la sfortunata Kozet nella locanda. Come lei ha aumentato ben 3 volte nel giro di un paio d'ore il prezzo pattuito (la terza dopo aver svuotato le valigie) ben consapevole che a ferragosto sarebbe stato impossibile cambiare albergo. Per non parlare dell`umidità nelle stanze, l'illuminazione scarsa e la mancanza di acqua calda. Tutto al modico prezzo di 100 euro a notte quando la media degli alberghi molto più decorosi di questo si aggira sui 30 euro. Le lenzuola non sono state cambiate, l'addetta alla reception, quella riccia, sembra cresciuta in cattività e non riusciva a trattenere espressioni facciali di disgusto nemmeno se le chiedevi dove si trovava la sala per la colazione. L'acqua dell'aria condizionata gocciola sui balconi e in generale ci sono almeno 5 stanze non a norma per cui andrebbe denunciata alle autorità. Avendo visitato 6 città albanesi è avendo soggiornato in altri tanti alberghi, devo ammettere che questa è stata l'unica esperienza negativa. Siamo corsi via con la voglia di non rivedere più Saranda e la locandiera di Kozet. EVITATE QUESTO ALBERGO.... NON FATEVI ROVINARE LE VACANZE E IL BUON UMORE!
