"Room size was smaller than expected. "

"If you've never visited Albania, know this: the people of Albania are among the friendliest and kindest people you will ever meet. The first word that comes to mind when thinking of the Valza Boutique Hotel in Vlora is "hospitality." Even by the high Albanian standards, the owners and staff of this hotel are incredibly hospitable. The hotel is owned and operated by a family. They truly care about your stay with them being exceptional. Not a large corporation or "hotel chain." The decor is modern, elegant and comfortable. The construction (walls, doors, etc.) is solid and soundproof. The view of the Vlora bay from the roof terrace is incredible. The free breakfast is prepared daily with fresh, local ingredients including traditional albanian cakes and pastries. We booked a week then extended our stay another week. We were very pleased we chose this hotel for our stay in Vlora. "

"Room was great and the view made ous worth to books it Very clean hotel and staff were very nice and helpful. Highly recommended in Albania Thank you."

"The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet at night. The hotel was near the water and away from the main town so the water was cleaner. The hotel description says bar and restaurant and deli but that's not entirely true. There's no deli and there doesn't really seem to be food options available of an evening. We went elsewhere for dinner as no one was eating there after breakfast. "

"End of season so pool was cold. Breakfast was adequate, no black tea on second day and eggs were cold, no underneath heater"

"I liked the view, wi-fi is available, the breakfast is ok, and the parking is available. What I didn’t like: rude staff, noisy, dirty rooms, towels are over used and stained with yellow marks, the sink is unsafe you can’t lean on it and leaks, Miskitos caused bites all over my arms and my legs, using the balcony is not possible due to different insects, no swimming pool it was close all the time I was there for six days, the hotel is not handicap friendly. Overall, pictures online are really deceiving, the hotel needs renovations "

"Not a great experience overall. "

"stayed at Hotel Olive in Vlorë from September 6–8, 2025 and it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. When I checked in, the air conditioner did not work, and the room was unbearably hot. I asked to change rooms but was told none were available. I couldn’t even stay in the room until late in the evening when it was finally fixed. The bathroom was a disaster: the shower flooded the entire floor, there was nowhere to place toiletries, and the soap dispenser was broken and empty. Toilet paper and amenities were nearly finished when I arrived, and the kettle had no cups to use with it. On top of that, the bed and pillows were so uncomfortable I couldn’t get proper rest. The hotel staff did little to address these problems, and the overall communication and service were completely lacking. The conditions made the room uninhabitable, and I ultimately decided to leave early, even knowing I would not get a refund. This is unacceptable, and I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone."
