First of all the welcome on arrival and the friendliness of everyone. All the family and Tom (boyfriend of the daughter Victoria both helping out on their holiday from UK) always smiling and asking how I was and anything I needed.
Accommodation was spotless and comfortable.
Well situated and close to everything.
Breakfast was filling with excellent service.
Excellent place to stay. I stayed 4 nights and value for money.

I would really like to emphasize how great the hosts are. The hotel is managed and taken care by an amazing family, who does everything at their power to give the guests the best experience. we felt as if we were home. Good (but limited) breakfast. Location is fine, 10-minute walk to the boulevard.

It was dirty. I have pictures. My kids said it was worst then their hostels. Someone tried to get into our room twice during the night. I told the manager who said that his security told him there were two drunk guys that did it to a couple of rooms. Why would the security officer allow that to happen? And why did the manager not do anything about it?

They made me feel like family. The owners went out of their way to fix breakfast for me after missing it in the morning, and upon my departure, they drove me to Vlorë, a 2.5 hour drive.

It was a very beautiful surprise!
From the moment you arrive at Hotel KALEMI’S, you feel the hospitality, the behavior, and the culture of this professional family in tourism, who, as far as we understood, speak more than 4 foreign languages. The breakfast was perfect, the room very clean, the hotel's facilities are spacious and available to the clients. The parking is at the hotel's entrance, surrounded and secured throughout the night, which makes you feel very safe for everything. My reservation was for one day, and I stayed for 5 days. Because of the environment, the ideal behavior, the service, the magical view from the balcony, and what this family offers, you leave with a feeling that you haven't experienced in any other hotel!
We sincerely thank you for the wonderful days you gave us. Love you

I have been visiting this hotel for many years. At the hotel entrance it says: ''Come in as guests leave as Family ''. You feel this every time we leave this beautiful family, the environment is warm and welcoming. The breakfast is handmade by the hosts and changes every day. the hotel has endless terraces with unlimited sea views. The rooms are cleaned daily and are quite spacious. The owners are extremely kind and always willing to help us. Thank you dear Kalemi family.

Everything for me was perfect. The room was clean and well equipped, there were loads of different places and terraces that you could sit and enjoy your coffee with a breathtaking view, breakfast was really tasty. Most importantly the staff was really friendly and helpful and they would go out of their way to accommodate your needs.

The hotel was very clean and cozy. It had everything we wanted. It was away from the hectic noise of the city centre but also really close to the city centre as well (10-15min walk). The breakfast was different everyday and the dishes varied, very delicious breakfast hand-made. The selection of the breakfast was great and enough to kick start your day! The restaurant on site was cozy and nice, it had daily menu with grill and delicious salads every day! The hotel has private parking, which is free. The private beach was really nice as well and it was cleaned every day by the owners. The real gem of this place though is the family that runs it, Konstantinos, Vangelia, Alex Vasia and Ilia are the best and most friendly hotel owners I’ve ever met! They set an example of how tourism is made right, as they treated us with kindness and we really felt like home! There’s a saying at the entrance of the hotel “ come as guests leave as family” and we really felt this way! Thanks Kalemi’s family for everything, we will meet you again !

Ein sehr angenehmes und Inhaber geführtes Hotel. Hier haben wir uns auch gefühlt wie richtige Gäste. Die Inhaber sind super lieb und zuvorkommend. Da wir nicht in der Saison da waren und das Hotel somit sehr wenige Gäste beherbergte, würde das Frühstück für uns komplett frisch zubereitet sobald wir im Frühstücksbereich ankamen.die Aussicht vom Balkon im zweiten Stock war Klasse, Man könnte direkt auf Korfu schauen. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Der Balkon ist ausreichend groß, die Balkontür hat zusätzlich noch eine Schiebetür mit Fliegengitter, sodass man auch mal die Balkontüre offen stehen lassen konnte. Das Hotel steht noch in erster Reihe zum Strand.
Leider gleicht Saranda seit dem einschlagen des Massentourismus einer reinsten Baustelle, die sieht man leider überall, auch vor dem Kalemis wird aktuell leider irgendetwas gebaut, es sollte bewusst sein, dass man dies nicht dem Hotel zulasten legen kann, das wäre falsch.Jedoch ist das die traurige Tatsache.
Das Bett im Zimmer war uns persönlich einen guten ticken zu weich, das Alter des Bettes ist leider merkbar. Das Badezimmer ist vollkommen ausreichend, jedoch setzt man beim Duschen leider jedes Mal das ganze Bad unvermeidbar unter Wasser, hier müsste sich etwas anderes als der Duschvorhang besser eignen.

From the moment we entered the hotel the kindness, hospitality and eagerness of the owners to help us filled our heart. The place is run by a lovely family, the rooms are really clean and are taken care of daily.
The hotel has great outdoor spaces where you can enjoy their lovely fish ( the terrace overlooking the sea was our favourite). Breakfast was freshly cooked everyday and it was changed everyday. The centre was only one kilometre away. Near the hotel there were plenty of private beaches you could choose from.
We had booked for one night but ended up staying 4 nights, the guests made us feel as if we were part of the family, Gracias Kalemi family.

It was a bad experience for me and my husband. The room was small,they didn't have photo of the room because was terrible and not clean. The bed was too old,maybe since the hotel is opened. The toilet didn't work and the air condition also.
The music start playing from 7:30 and it was noizy for us,we couldn't sleep.
The owners was bad people,at the moment that we said them the problem of our room the answer was, "if you like it you can stay if not, you can go out".
And the worst think was that this hotel had not elevator,we must went at the second floor by the stairs.

Kalemi’s family was extremely welcoming and helpful. Room was very nice and kept clean. Beach view was amazing. The city center is 15 minutes walking from the hotel. They stored luggage after our check out to spend time in Saranda until the bus departure time which was also very helpful. They were able to bring us a ta i any time we need. Different breakfast set menu daily and was soo tasty . Also we booked a boat trip through the hotel Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Kalemi and Costantinos are going to show you the Albanian hospitality. The apartment was wide and offered all the tools to join the place. Beachside is the right word. You can appreciate the seaside with Corfù in the offing. Breakfast with homemade homelette was gnammy
The beach was crowded but august period does not help
4.5
Breakfast is not standard as you get different menus every day. If you do not like the menu you can always ask to change it or eat some marmalade or honey. A couple of times we ate dinner at the hotel and the fish and grill squids were good.
Konstantinos and his family are super friendly and very helpful. He even came and helped me sort out some misunderstandings in the local shop.
The cleanliness of the room and overall of the hotel was exceptional, they even changed our bed linens after 3 days and the room was always spotless.
I would definitely recommend the stay at this hotel. It offers a good ratio between 3 stars hotel and the price.
This goes to the location of Sarande and the nearby beach. The beaches are all payable, crowded and quite small. If you want to do better you need to drive around.

I liked the location. Close to the city center and the nice beach where you can rent affordable sun beds and umbrellas. I also liked the family vibe from the owners of the place. Very friendly and nice people . Breakfast were always freshly made each morning and it was good . Rooms were clean. I also liked it was quite and peaceful at night so great for good night sleep. Also great coffee and wine is available at the bar of the hotel for additional price .

The hotel is wonderful! Starting from the fact that the owner and his family are very hospitable and kind, ending with the service. The rooms were cleaned daily, they always smelled good and the staff was very nice. Breakfast every day was different and very tasty. Fresh food, delicious drinks and many different sweets. The hotel is close to the sea, which made our life much easier! And special thanks to the owner for taking us to the hotel from the airport in case of problems. Great hotel and people, highly recommended!
Nothing, everything well

The hotel has free parking spaces for guests which is very useful in Sarande. The staff helped us find the way to the hotel, and the cleaning ladies were polite. Our room had a balcony with a great view, apart from the construction site in front of the hotel where a beach used to be.
There are things that need significant improving:
- the bathroom was small with a broken sink and the shower space was very narrow with a shower curtain that was too short, which makes the flooding of the bathroom inevitable. After two people taking a shower, the bathroom floor was completely wet even though we wiped it multiple times. Despite being careful, I slipped and fell and if it were someone older or if I had hit the sink, this could have resulted in serious injury. This problem has a very simple and inexpensive solution - a longer shower curtain.
- the breakfast was poor quality and lacked options. It had slight variations each day, but it was served as multiple things, sweet and salty together, on a single plate. The coffee wasn't good, but you can pay extra for a different type of coffee.
Apart from that, there is a constrution site with ongoing work just in front of the hotel. All the beaches nearby are pretty crowded and you need to pay for a spot. The same music is constantly playing on repeat on the terrace from early in the morning and it can be heard from the rooms, so even though the hotel is away from the centre, it's not really quiet because of this and the noise coming from the construction site.
All things considered, I wouldn't recommend this place.

it was a wonderful experience and stay with konstantinos and his family; even though way to short - had Ive known before that it might get even close to this exceptional I would have stayed longer! they are pure hosts with all their heart and even for the famous and great hospitality of albanians they were exceptionally welcoming!
everything you need, itll be there within no time!
great breakfast and evening chillouts in a wonderful garden atmosphere!
the owners father grilled me a more than wonderful fresh fish like I had been in a michelin star place, even better - he did it very late and with all his heart and passion!
the cutest kittens, baby turtels - everything there, so I guess this place is also wonderful to stay with one’s family!
interestingconversations about albania and its history were also part of my short stay with the owners…
facilities clean and in order, as it should be …
all in all, not one single bad word about this place,
pure passion which the customer can feel at any second of his stay!!
Ill be back for sure!

A truly beautiful hotel operated by a delightful family, the Kalemis family. They were always present and eagerly assisted us with everything. The rooms are impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, and we absolutely adored the expansive outdoor terraces that offered breathtaking views of the sea. Having private parking provided us with peace of mind as we securely parked our car. Moreover, the breakfast was not only delicious but also varied each day. Despite the ongoing construction in the area, we are confident that it will transform into an even more stunning destination next year!

We spent 5 nights in the Hotel of the Kalemis family. One of the nicest, most helpful people I've ever met. We had a lot of fun. They helped with everything, prepared a great breakfast and dinner. The rooms were clean and nice. I hope I can go back to them one day.

The kindness of the owners was something we really appreciated ! Vangelia, Konstantinos and Ilia hosted us as if we were family members, always with a smile on their face! Spacious and private parking, something really rare for Saranda! Delicious home made breakfast! The rooms were clean and comfortable!

Great place, clean and comfortable rooms. One of the most important things is the private parking of the property, where I could leave my car without any worries. In Saranda it’s extremely tough to find parking and most people had their cars parked in the streets. The family running the hotel was really kind and extremely helpful. Really close to the centre as well.

It’s the fourth time I am I visiting this hotel and the feeling is always the same. Being welcomed by the professional and very kind owners. The room was very clean. Great parking space and also a fresh taste with the spacious terraces in the concrete chaos of Saranda. Your kindness and hospitality always makes me come back.

the hotel is shown as front beach, but it actually really isn't. You have to walk to another area of the beach nearby because the hotels beach is under construction. but the nearby beach is very near so it is ok. beach was very nice.
the hotel has 2 buildings, a new and an old one. In the pictures is shown only the new one so we did not get the rooms we booked. the breakfast is served in a plate, like it is not open to take what you want! you will get eggs and croissants and cheese and jam, sausage all in one plate.
