Hotel Vlora International has plenty to offer, starting with its welcoming staff who made sure our stay began on the right note. For example, we requested a balcony and were upgraded to a spacious room with stunning sea views. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with quiet, effective air conditioning. While the decor feels slightly dated, it’s well-maintained and typical for Albania. The location is fantastic, right on the boulevard, you’re surrounded by lively terraces, cafes, and restaurants. Whether you’re strolling along the seafront or shopping nearby, everything is just steps away. TIP: parking is easy; look for the gate near the zebra crossing by the hotel.

Staying on the fifth floor was a treat, with gorgeous sunset views from the balcony. Breakfast was another highlight, offering variety and the option to enjoy it on the outdoor terrace. Fresh air, great food, and beautiful views make it a perfect start to the day. Hotel Vlora International offers a large indoor pool, a small fitness room, and a spa. Football fans (like us) will love the bar next door showing all the big matches; from the Premier League to the Bundesliga!

Special thanks to Klaudja and Elona, whose friendly and professional service made us feel at home: their excellent English and warm attitude added a personal touch! If you’re looking for a centrally located hotel with great amenities, sea views, and exceptional staff, Hotel Vlora International is an excellent choice. Give it a try, you might find yourself planning a return trip!
