Hotel Dodona

This hotel is in a great position outside Sarande. As it’s beachfront there is a lovely cooling breeze. It has a large well kept pool area and, for the first week of July, wasn’t busy so sun beds were easily available. The rooms are OK but my AC was an old unit and noisy. The shower was walk in but badly fitted controls. The bed was comfortable. The balcony was small and lacked a table. The daily maid service changed the over sheet and towels daily, totally unnecessarily. I would have preferred to indicate when I wanted the towels changed. We bought beach towels during our stay as the hotel doesn’t provide this service. They also lack a laundry service. However, the food was very good value and we enjoyed eating and drinking on the terrace in the day and evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a lift. I would be happy to return and stay again

We've reserved 3 rooms , however they've cancelled our booking because we're Arabs neglecting the fact that we've travelled for 5 hours from tirana and we've babies with us. Racism which is not acceptable and we're facing a difficult time to book a hotel on the same day with the same category

We stayed 5 nights there and speaking generally, our room was clean with superb view of Saranda bay. Swimming pool was nice, clean and well maintained. Ionian sea was breathtaking but the temperature of sea water was pretty cold and it was difficult to swim for a long time because of Bistrica river. Except the blonde girl in reception who welcomed us warmly, staff was generally uninterested and bored, not as friendly as I read in reviews. Some of staff members were under the age 18, some others were seasonal workers. Breakfast was good but it could be better since the buffet was the same all the time, we expected to eat something different. The restaurant of the hotel was also good but the service was pretty slow, it took 30 minutes to wait Margarita Pizza order. I must admit that their pizza was really delicious. The room was enough for a couple. Mini bar was really useful and worked fine. Toilets were clean, we always had warm water in shower. Bathroom didn't have keys. Air condition was fine, cable Tv didn't worked but that was not important since we didn't use it. Wi-fi was not good and it worked only inside rooms and nearby pool, not in the beach. Balcony has a stunning view of Saranda bay but it has only two chairs without table. Hotel affords free parking and we were extremely pleased with that. Worth to mention that hotel is 4 kilometres away from Saranda's city centre hence we don't recommend it to the couples or families who don't have a car. We traveled with our car and it was easy to drive through Saranda but very difficult to find parking place. Private parkings are overpriced. We think that owners should think about night-events in hotel, the pool side and even beach is really good, able to organize events such as live music or dj. At the end we left the hotel with good impressions and we recommend it. We enjoyed our stay there and we would visit it again if we decide to spend our vacations in lovely Saranda.

Me and my family are staying currently at Dodona Hotel. We have a room with a spectacular view.. You can see the beach, all Saranda coast and the sunset its just a dream. The kids are enjoying so much the pool, and the good food.. The breakfast has a wide selection of food, and for lunch and dinner we enjoyed so much the pizza and the fresh fish. Highly recommend
