"Had a very nice stay at San Angelo, staff was very friendly especially Maniraj. Views are spectacular overlooking the sea. Breakfast was OK. Location was good too, 20 mins walk from the promenade. Property offers parking but the entrance is very steep, so be careful!! "

"The "hotel" is more like an apartment and hard to access unless you're driving, especially if you have mobility issues. Upon arrival, the receptionist informed me that my ground-floor apartment booking was changed without notice to an“upgrade” that was nothing of the sort.The receptionist also made a rude comment about whether I was American or something to that effect. It felt dismissive, like he was questioning why I expected help, or that I was being unreasonable.The apartment wasn’t properly prepared—there was outdoor furniture inside, dirty cookware, no hand soap, and incomplete cutlery. Although he tried to get me the items I requested, there were still issues. For example, I asked for a bowl, but he claimed that bowls aren’t available in Albania, which I know isn’t true. Bowls are commonly used for salad, yogurt-based dishes, and soups. Next the receptionist acknowledged that the room gets cold so he went and brought a duvet/blanket but this is something that also put me off having to possibly be cold. The kettle didn’t work, and when I asked to swap it, none of the others worked either. The receptionist was combative and unhelpful when I voiced concerns.The photos on the website were misleading, showing sea views that didn’t exist in my room. Overall, the place is poorly managed, and if you're looking for a better experience, there are plenty of cleaner, more organized options in the area. This trip was for my 30th birthday, and I ended up leaving for a better place."

"This is a new hotel. It was a great two night stay. Since the hotel is around a year old, there are some fit and finish issues that need to still be addressed. For example, several floors had small lips or height changes when transitioning from one section to another, and the roof top area is still under construction, but staff let us know and supplied other value add services to make up for it. The gym was good as well. Breakie was included. We would recommend this hotel."

"Unbelievable stay. Incredibly kind staff. Gorgeous view. 2 minutes from everything. If I could rate it more than a 10/10 I would"

"This hotel exceeded expectations in every way. The property is beautiful, clean and modern. The pool is a highlight and has great loungers. The room was very nice with a comfortable bed and good quality Lush soaps. The location is ideal with the beach just across the street and good restaurants nearby. What really stood out was the staff at this hotel. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I dont usually write reviews but this hotel deserves to be recognized!"

"They had clean rooms, plenty of eateries nearby, helpful staff, overall a good stay!"

"We love the hotel, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The room was delightful and clean, and everything about the experience was first class."

"The highlight of the Dream Hotel was the owners and staff. They accommodated every reasonble request promptly with a smile. Room was clean, not too small. Breakfast buffet was typically European and good. I would absolutely stay here again "

"Where do I even begin? My stay at Sonder Hotel in Ksamil was nothing short of exquisite, a family-run boutique where you feel the care and attention to detail from the moment you arrive. The room was beautifully appointed with automatic blackout curtains, a stunning bathroom with full wall mirror, vanity beauty mirror, marble double sinks, and a spacious shower. The bedroom, balcony, pool area, and wider facilities were equally impressive. The food deserves a special mention. Chef Jev’s attention to detail was impeccable, every dish made fresh, full of flavour, and the team were happy to accommodate special requests and dietary requirements too. Breakfast was included and so delicious that despite being walking distance from Ksamil Beach, local bars, restaurants and a supermarket, I rarely ate anywhere else! What truly sets this hotel apart is the people. The family and staff were always warm, always on hand, and always willing to go the extra mile. As a first-time visitor to Albania on a birthday trip, they made me feel completely at home and even kindly accommodating a later checkout because I simply wasn’t ready to leave. This is a 10 out of 10 hotel. I cannot wait to return. Thank you to the manager, Xheni, the family, and all the staff for an unforgettable stay. See you next time, Ksamil! 🙏"
