Hotel Edva

Waking up to the sea was one of the best parts, since every room faces the water. The room had air conditioning and had been renovated, and pool towels were available if needed in addition to the room towels. It’s a small hotel with a very relaxed, family-style atmosphere. The pool is surprisingly large for a place this size, and there were plenty of sunbeds around it. I really loved staying here.

The staff were the strongest part of the hotel, always friendly and willing to help, and the food was very good too. We enjoyed our stay, and with a few improvements this could easily have been a five-star experience. Our room was in the building beside the main hotel and pool, which was a great location, but the WiFi there was unusable. The roof had no insulation, so the sun heated it up and the warmth radiated into the room. We had to leave the air conditioning running all day and night to keep things comfortable, which was unfortunate because we’d rather save energy. The area outside Vlore is still being developed, so construction sites are part of the surroundings. It was also frustrating to see guests claim pool beds with towels early in the morning and then stay away for hours.

This is a small and peaceful hotel, exactly what we wanted for a quiet holiday. The saltwater pool was so inviting that you might not even want to go down to the sea, and it had enough comfortable beds and umbrellas around it. The restaurant serves fish, meat, and pizza, with the pizza being especially good. The staff were warm, attentive, and willing to help with anything, including providing beach towels. During our stay, the whole Vlore area had a problem with insects drawn to the lights, but they handled it very professionally. They even cleaned our room while we were eating. Some older reviews may show outdated photos, but the hotel has been completely renovated. For what you pay, you get a lot. The overall experience with two friends was amazing, and I’d recommend it 100%.

The breakfast was the same each morning, but there were enough choices to change what you ate. Apart from that, the stay was great. The TV worked, although it wasn’t connected to any channels, and the WiFi was not accessible on the higher floors.
