Empire Hotel

We had a wonderful stay! The cleaning staff were incredibly kind and friendly, and everything was spotless and very clean. The breakfast was also delicious, with a great selection. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great location for the beach and exploring. Hotel staff fine. Room clean and good shower in bathroom. Very clean pool and sun deck. We went all inclusive what a mistake that was! We were told when we arrived that breakfast is served downstairs each morning 7:30-10am which it was, unless you like eggs I wouldn't bother. Lunch and dinner are both served in the beach bar which is about a 3-4 min walk from hotel. We arrived here to the tiki looking bar, to be told all inclusive is on the other side of path and quite frankly quite a downgrade. The food served here for lunch and dinner was the same every day, with the odd change here and there. Also if you are all inclusive you can only have the cheap fizzy drinks, 1 beer on tap. I didn't even bother with the cocktails. This is the same at the pool bar, all inclusive get given fizzy from large warm bottles and they ran out of sprite on day 2, still not available when we left 5 days later. If you are there on another basis you get cold cans from fridge and fruit in drinks. THERE IS NO SNACK BAR!!!!! Nothing available between meal times at all. We felt like we were treated like second class citizens as we were all inclusive. Not good when you have already paid for your hotel and all meals etc. We ended up eating out every day after the first day and having to get snacks from local shops for our son to have round pool. Such a shame because Albania is beautiful and so are the people.

We stayed one night with my wife at this hotel,,,, from the outside it is very well maintained and has a nice view, the lobby looks very good,,, while I can't say the same about the rooms,,,, the room we had was 107 (junior suite) it was not well maintained, the jacuzzi was out of order, nothing worked except the water tap and the drain, one of the reasons we chose this hotel, very small bathroom for a junior suite but also a little unpleasant smell in the bathroom, the extractor fan was very noisy for a hotel room or it was broken or it wasn't super silent as per the standard, the breakfast was very lukewarm, for one night it is ok but for many nights I don't think it is suitable.

The room we had in this hotel was quite small, but there was a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs to sit outside, which was a nice seating area. The bathroom was quite small, but was adequate for showering, etc. There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. A 5-minute walk across the road took you to the hotel’s private beach which has a beach bar with very friendly staff. The beach had very comfortable sunbeds and plenty of umbrellas available for guests, however they do not provide beach towels. There is also a lovely pool area at the hotel. Breakfast was substantial and gave a good start to the day. There is also free parking at the rear of the hotel in a small car park. Due to the beach facilities and close proximity to the beach, I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely pool area, clean and attentive staff, some building work going on near the sea - but looked almost finished. Very tricky to access the sea here, lots of rocks, you need to walk 15-20 minutes and then you get to a nice beach. All pebbles so bring your aqua shoes. Receptionists and staff all very friendly. Really good breakfast. 30 mins drive to Himare for cave swimming and another nice beach. 20 mins drive to Dhermi for very posh restaurants. Room was very new and very nice. Power shower and comfortable bed. Looks like they are planting what will be a beautiful garden.
