Kalemi's Beachside Hotel

I have travelled to the UK, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and many other places but I have not faced such a situation. We parked our car in this hotel’s open parking are (which was completely empty) and was infront of another hotel (not knowing to which hotel did this parking space belonged). We checked in to the other hotel and came back for the car and were stopped and asked for money (5€) for parking as we did not checked into their hotel. Money is not a problem but the owners of the hotel were abusive and threatened to call the police. I paid the money to avoid any issues and left the place without checking in to any hotel in that area. The owners were an aged man and his son. The owners wife was trying to stop them but they didnt care and pushed her. I sincerely advise not to book this place!

The location of the hotel is great. It is located in a quiet part of town, just a 15-minute walk from the center of Saranda. There are several grocery stores and several restaurants in the area. This is a family hotel. It has 24 rooms. The staff is very kind and wants help. The hotel manager Mr. Konstatinos speaks excellent English, a and you can communicate with other members of the service without any problems. The hotel rooms are clean daily. We had an economical room. The room was not large, but neither was it cramped. It had a balcony, a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. The bathroom had a window. There is also a refrigerator in the room. The air conditioning was ok and free. The mattresses are new and anatomical (very comfortable). We did not have a direct view of the sea. The hotel applies measures related to COVID-19. Everything is clean and fragrant. Breakfast is plentiful and varied. Natural juice (not from vending machines) and European cuisine are served every morning. The hotel does not serve pork. If you want to order lunch you can get fish or some other grilled meat. The beach is private and sun loungers and parasols are free for hotel guests. The beach is thoroughly cleaned every night. Some of the servants constantly monitor the beach during the day, so the beggars can't disturb you. From the beach to the hotel is 20 steps. All kinds of drinks, ice cream, etc. are served on the beach. The hotel has private parking. Thank you very much Hotel Kalemi's Beach for your hospitality and kindness. All recommendations. I hope to see you again.
