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.

Clean but misleading pictures of the room

No beach view. Room was clean and modern however they use false advertising - the room we booked had clearly the sea view on the picture - upon check-in we discovered that the only view was another building, definitely not the view they show on hotels.com. Albania is one giant construction zone but they shouldn’t be advertising/selling something that does not exist. After long negotiations with the receptionist we got a room on a higher floor with limited sea view but different type of bed (worse) that we booked and two glasses of house wine. The rooftop restaurant has a nice view. Breakfast was fine by Albanian standards. We went to the restaurant for dinner celebrations, ordered food (lots of great reviews on internet) only to discover after long wait that the chef quit the day before and the staff left was cooking only some dishes - the pork chops were poor quality, squid was ok, in general not the quality one might expect from price and reviews. The good things were the view and the waiter. There was parking garage in the building.

Nice hotel

The property is new with nice amenities. Room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was also great. It's also close to the beach. The check in and check out process was smooth. Underground parking was available. Gerti, the manager of the Valza hotel was very welcoming and accommodating.

This is not a property to book without a car. It is a perfect location to sleep and then explore. There is one beach walking distance which is horrible for heavier or older people - rocks are sharp, easy to fall, or sprain your ankle. Feedback on hotel:
- the hotel elevator was not working which was a pain for my parents who were in their 70s to walk up and down the stairs with luggage
- the hotel did not have enough staff to run the restaurant on the rooftop; we ordered whatever they had but the food was bland and expensive; the rooftop does have a beautiful view of sunsets over the water; breakfast had everything for everyone and was decent
- modern and clean interiors; rooms & bathrooms are spacious; cheap bed linens & pillows; rooms do not have a safe; some balconies have a place to sit & others do not like ours; it did have a fridge which was great to keep water & drinks cold
- the noise: horrible! Monday & Tuesday nights at 12am got woken up by fireworks from the next door restaurants celebrating birthdays; we thought they were bombs going off how loud it was; completely ruined our sleep; there is a lot of construction going on around the hotel but that was not loud surprisingly
- the staff: the main manager or owner was kind and polite; the front desk staff - one lady was nice and another incompetent; unable to communicate or provide direction or help with the elevator that was broken

Very nice hotel and excellent service. Only minus is that it’s 40 min walking distance from lungo mare, so you have to take a taxi. Otherwise it was good, and beautiful beach nearby

Friendly welcome from reception staff, helpful information and met requests made. We asked for chairs for balcony and drinking glasses for room, which we thought could be provided as standard. Seaview from room's balcony on 5th floor and lovely sunset views from rooftop restaurant. Eco-incentive offered-skip room service for the day in exchange for 2 free beers on the rooftop. Unfortunately our room didn't get cleaned on the one day we declined this offer. No prior notice that hotel is surrounded on 3 sides by construction, although minimal noise disturbance for us as we were out most days and this is obviously out of control of hotel. Free parking was included and good location for exploring along the coast by car. Located out of busy main town with beach and many restaurants, but lovely traditional tavern directly across main road where we ate twice, as well as a convenient mini market on hand.

Wonderful Getaway!

A quick overnight stay, but it was in a lovely area with a lovely view. The fromt desk was helpful, the room huge, and aside from a rooster crowing ar 4:30 am, our trip was great. Really nich breakfast on the rooftop terrace was perfect - a great view, great weather, and good food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Valza, rooms were clean, beds large and comfortable, walk in rain shower and a sea view balcony. Breakfast included cake, eggs, bread, sausages, crepes, jams, cereal, yoghurt, coffee etc. Evening meal can be had at the restaurant and was delicious. The best bit though was the owner, he really couldn't do enough to help us, including planning itineraries, recommending locations and restaurants and generally doing everything he could to bake sure our stay was perfect. We will definitely be back!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in the heart of Vlore! The location couldn't be more perfect—right in the city center, within walking distance of all the major attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The hotel itself was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always available to assist with any questions or recommendations.

The view from my room was stunning, overlooking the beautiful crystal clear beach. I couldn't have asked for a better experience—whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this is the perfect place to stay. Highly recommend!

New, clean & attractive building. Odd room layout - toilet is in the shower, and shower only has half a glass door, so everything gets wet. Breakfast on the rooftop was decent and nice. The location is adjacent to new construction - not too noisy during our stay, but also not the best view. Hotel is outside of the beach town so had to drive a nearby beach. Parking was covered and ample, but spaces were tight. Would likely stay within the beach town next time, but we needed parking.

Average experience.

It’s a budget hotel with bare minimum facilities. Drinking water was not provided in the room and we have to purchase it from the restaurant on top or outside. Bathroom didn’t have proper shower caddy so water spillage was everywhere. Breakfast spread was good.

Nice Hotel but service not so good

Was seduced by the previous 10/10 rating but was left disappointed.
Nice modern hotel but service was lax. For example breakfast was supposed to be served from 8am but was not ready at all at that time and clearly it was in demons as at least 10 people were left waiting. Equally booked a suite and part of the deal was to have 2 free drinks as part of deal- we’re not forthcoming and despite feedback to that effect heard nothing !

Our stay at the Valza hotel was wonderful. All the hotel staff were very kind and helpful. The manager was a lovely man who helped us organise trips and took very great care of us. The breakfast was delicious and the view when having dinner from the hotel roof was superb! There were a number of lovely beaches near by and the walk into town was very pleasant. The hotel room was very big and clean with a great shower and lovely sunset view. We had a wonderful stay at the Valza and hope to return again. Thank you

Hotel Valza is beautiful and quiet. I liked that the hall lights were activated when someone was there, so they weren't on all night long. Breakfast was delicious, and the chefs of Eden were so accommodating. The parking garage was only inaccessible once when we returned late at night.

My recent stay at Valza Hotel in Albania was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the spotless cleanliness - it was OCD clean, which speaks volumes about the dedication to hygiene. The rooms were not only spacious but also boasted stunning views of the ocean, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation.

What truly set Valza Hotel apart was the impeccable service. The staff and owner went above and beyond to accommodate every request, ensuring a memorable experience for all guests. Their warmth and attentiveness truly made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

One thing to note for potential guests is that having a car is advisable for exploring the surrounding area, as the hotel is nestled in a serene location. Additionally, it’s wise to have cash on hand, as not all establishments nearby accept card payments.

Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Valza Hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway with top-notch service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Can’t wait to get back to Valza Boutique Hotel and Vlore! Love the location - away from the crowds in town, great sea view from our balcony, short walk down to lovely beach with great restaurant. The breakfasts feature fresh fruit and nice selection of treats, several ways to eat eggs, yogurt, crepes, breads, traditional offerings, cereal, coffee and baristas on hand for special requests (with small charge for those delights). The hotel staff is so thoughtful: one morning we were late for breakfast and the barista remembered i loved the Portokali cake and had set aside the last two pieces, in case they had run out! Everyone extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely strong recommendation. Supermarket just around the corner super convenient. Parking below the hotel. So easy to have a delightful comfortable easy visit to use as your base when visiting beaches, Vlore, Bérat, we swam in the Vjosa (last wild river of Europe!) from Memaliaj where we paid equivalent of $5 for an hour’s use of super comfy bed on a rocky beach of the river, visited old ruins of Ali Pasha’s Palace in Tepelena - just a gorgeous drive there and back! Great place!

Convenable sans plus.

Hôtel 3,5 étoiles... qui les vaut.
Restaurant et petit-déjeuner très bien avec son rooftop sympathique.
Bonne chambre avec literie. Draps un peu bruyants.
La salle de bain n'est pas à la hauteur avec un évier un peu bouché et une grille d'évacuation de la douche qui n'est pas adaptée à l'évacuation.
Les joints commencent à souffrir. Dommage pour un hôtel de 2020.
Enfin localisation dans une zone en pleine construction.
Quant au statut de boutique hôtel, nous n'avons pas perçu la valeur ajoutée.
Bref pour le prix, nous avons connu bienmieux (tour d'Albanie en deux semaines).
Cela reste néanmoins convenable.

Un hôtel moderne avec un excellent restaurant

L’hôtel, tout neuf, séduit par son design soigné et ses équipements de qualité. Si la vue depuis notre chambre donnait malheureusement sur un immeuble en travaux, le reste du séjour a largement compensé ce petit bémol. Le petit déjeuner est excellent, varié et copieux, parfait pour bien commencer la journée. Mention spéciale à la terrasse du restaurant, offrant une vue absolument incroyable sur la mer, et aux plats servis au dîner, d’une qualité remarquable. Une adresse à retenir pour allier confort, gourmandise et panorama exceptionnel.

OK, but not just there yet...

The room was OK. The windows were a bit dirty on the outside because there was a birds nest on the outside. I like the fact that they let the birds nest there, and didn't get rid of them.
When we went for a drink in their restaurant in the evening, even though a lot of personel was attending, apparently no one was able to make cocktails. Not even an aperol spritz. Also a few other items which we try to order that were on the menu we're sold out.
We also ordered some food, but after waiting for about half an hour, the waiter explained that the kitchen still needed to start on my dish, and wanted to know if would still want it. We declined.
Since our room was right below the breakfast area, each morning at 7u30, we were woken up by the sound of moving furniture above us.
