the position of the hotel is ok...if you go inside, you will be in contact with the receptionist, which have difficulties to do the work. You can get the keys of the room, and there surprisly is another person, The room and the bath are dirty, and the bed uncomfortable.

A decent clean hotel with friendly helpful staff. Most importantly it is strategically located at the heart of the townn and the harbour. We visited early November and there was ample parking space literally in front of the hotel, but I suspect this may not be the case in the summer

Great location next to the beach promenade. We were just on an overnight trip from Corfu, but decided to stay another night. The room was actually much nicer than the one at our hotel on Corfu. Nice view from the balcony (facing the Ionian Sea), comfortable mattresses and a well functioning AC. Both the ferry terminal and the "bus station"... More

My wife and I stayed at the Kaonia in Saranda for five nights. I chose the hotel following a number of glowing reports on this site. We paid 50 Euros per night for a double room including breakfast. The hotel is well located in the centre of town and has parking outside. The staff were friendly enough but spoke limited... More

This hotel is good for Albanian standards which is why I gave it an overall rating of "Very Good" but let's not kid ourselves and say its great. It's very basic. We had 2 rooms over 3 days (35 Euros for a double per night). The first room (room 28) did not have dark curtains over the windows or shower... More

Great Location and great staff made our stay extremely pleasant. The hotel is close enough to the boulevard to walk, yet is set back from the noise and bustle. Rooms are simple, but clean with all amenities. Staff were very helpful and they spoke English which was a great help.

Had a nice, large room with superb view to the beach, beach boulevard and the sea. Perfect location - close to buses (they leave from around 100 mts just behind the hotel), city center and the beach. Only 5 or 10 minutes to the ferry from Corfu. Friendly staff. Very small breakfast (really simple). Overall: Very good value for money.... More

This is a nice hotel. We had a room with sea-view, fantastic! The room was clean and well-furnished. The service was good, the staff friendly. The breakfast was simple but OK. It was only a little bit noisy because of the boulevard in front of the hotel.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
This charming hotel is perfectly located on the seaside promenade and only minutes from all the action. The doubles at the front have really large balconies and million lek?? views, framed by awnings made of a fabulously kitsch 1950s-style patterned fabric. The hotel does have a generator but don't make the mistake of rising early and attempting a shower before they've turned on the hot water. Mind you, this only happened to me once and it was in mid-winter when I was the only guest. Breakfast is included in the price, but like most Albanian hotels it's pretty basic. Other small niggles included a couple of dodgy power sockets and curtains not heavy enough to block out the morning sun, but despite this Kaonia is a great place to stay. ... more   less
