"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."

"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!"

"Hotel as advertised, modern and great value for money and great view. Would recommend."

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

"Hotel Berat was phenomenal. Definitely our best stay in our week in Albania. Beautiful modern property that keeps an air of old world Albania. Perfect location. Walked everywhere. Martinela helped me find a driver from Berat to Gjirokaster at well under the rate I could secure on my own. We corresponded a few weeks prior to our stay which was great. She also checked us in and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. The owner had stunning fresh flowers from her own garden in the lobby during our stay. These little touches were everywhere. Truly one of the more memorable hotel experiences I have had."

"This was probably the worst hotel I have ever visited. Complete false advertising, none of the facilities advertised, awful breakfast, unhelpful and unattentive staff - strongly recommend you do not stay here, it's a scam."

"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."
