    Comfortable beds Clean room Nice sea view from the balcony Free parking Reasonably priced You can pay in Euros, including using coins Quiet surroundings (October)

    Really easy to park (in October, maybe it's not so easy in the summer) and the views were really nice, just right next to the shoreline.

    The mattress was a bit dodgy, as if a chunk of it was missing. Other than this, everything was correct. The lady only speaks Albanian but you can communicate more or less with google translate.

    The hotel was right in front of the beach. The accommodation also included the price of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach. We stayed one night and we could use them for 2 days at no extra cost. We could leave our bags there after we checked out until we left Himara.

    Great location, directly opposite the beach once you cross the road. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops available. Also bakeries and a supermarket. Hotel is very clean, airy, good aircon, nice large shower. Lovely balcony with seaview. Fridge was great to keep drinks and fruit cold. Park on the road wherever you find parking.

    The furniture is from veneer and a bit worn out. The ceiling lights are bright white, there is one lampshade (bright light again), and you’re gonna need the (scarce) wall outlet for your charger. The sheets are too small, there is one high shelve in the closet, but nothing to put your suitcase on or your clothes in, besides the clothes hangers. The family doesn’t speak English, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch or anything else we could have understood. Our questions made on Booking about a parking place or confirmation about the seaview room were not answered. Communication overall wasn’t great; Google Translate was the only way.

    Fantastic seaview! Location is great: cross the street and you are at the beach, with beds and umbrellas for rent. Good size balcony with two chairs and a table, and a short line to hang wet beach towels. The room was cleaned every day, with clean towels and clean sheets. Good working airconditioning. Big fridge in the room. The elder lady is sweet and doing her utmost best; she found us a small table to put in the room (there wasn’t any), and gave us an extra sheet because the one on the bed was 160cm large and thus uncomfortable for two. She helped carry our suitcase three floors up and gave us an iron to borrow. The bathroom light was flickering and they fixed it right the next day.

    No wifi, which is important to know for people who rely on it. Only one plug so had to choose between fridge and TV. Both of these were not big issues for us but thought it's helpful to share.

    Location is amazing. Bathroom was nice. Aircon worked, nice balcony.

    Shower pressure was horrible, it didn't have a lift but wasn't a problem for me. The staff didn't speak English. It didn't seem like a hotel, didn't have reception. Wifi didn't work

    Comfortable bed, nice balcony and view, ac worked perfect, and location was good too, not too close of the center but had lots of restaurants around and it was in front of the beach. It was clean and staff was nice.

    Arriving in the rain, the town felt a bit dreary, but the warm welcome was lovely. The elderly couple don't speak much English but are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely little room with a balcony and a great view of the sea. We sat and watched the rain, then the sun come out. It was meant to be! The hotel may not have all modern amenities, but has a lovely authentic feel. Himarë is a nice town, we didn't stay long and it was quiet, but in the summer it is probably much busier.

    There wasn’t really a reception upon arriving which was quite confusing. There wasn’t any information about wifi so we sent a message about it, but didn’t receive an answer unfortunately. Lastly, the bed was nice and soft but not very ‘straight’. Because of this we rolled to the middle of the bed multiple times during the night

    We loved the location and the shower was great as well. The room was nice and clean

    The wardrobe did not have any hangers and there were no shelves so it was a bit difficult to use it. They should put a toothbrush holder in the bathroom as well as soap. There were only shampoo samples.

    The hotel was very close to the beach and had sun beds and umbrella reserved on the beach which was very convenient. The room was very clean, looked new as well. The lady working there was very nice although communication was a bit limited as she spoke only Albanian and Italian. I can understand Italian but cannot speak it so we used google translate a lot.

    Problem with a hot water, the closest it smells,we book a triple room but the space was for 1 person. the owner was a bad person, to old for the job,didn't know how to communicate. It will be better if the owner wasn't there

    Good location, nice beach,you can find a good restaurant near by. You can walk in center of Himare

    It was a great choice! Everything was as in the pictures. We stayed in a sea view room with balcony. The room was sunny and bright, the bathroom was spacious without any type of humidity. It was very clean and the staff was more than attentive. Also, it’s located a few meters away from the bus stop (we came by bus from Tirana). Thank you for having us!
