Flower Hotel & Resort garners praise for its inviting rooms, noted for their comfort, cleanliness, and aesthetic appeal, despite a few reports of absent in-room tea or coffee and some air conditioning issues. The resort's cleanliness earns unanimous commendation, with special mentions of the pristine beach and efficient cleaning staff. Guests relish the resort's lively atmosphere, with its dynamic music and thoughtful design enhancing the experience.
Compliments also extend to the attentive service, though occasional lapses are noted. While the amenities, including the pools, spa, and beach, are popular, some guests find the food and beverages average and pricey, which somewhat diminishes the overall value.

The hotel is basic and twinned with another hotel of the same name across the road. The bedrooms were comfortable, nice bathrooms. Breakfast was average at best. The staff were kind and helpful. The swimming pools are not big and can get busy as the day moves on. There is an indoor swimming pool which also has a sauna. There is a child’s play area and tennis courts on site. As a hotel guest you have access to both hotels. We stayed bed and breakfast only but they also offer all inclusive. The hotel food and drink prices are more expensive than what’s on offer outside the hotel. There is a beach no more than 5-7 minutes walk away and there you will find many bars/restaurants along the promenade which are cheaper than the hotel prices. The hotel has its own private spot on the beach offering free use of sun-beds etc and has its own bar. The promenade gets busy and lively as the evening goes on. The sea was nice, clear and warm. The sunset is worth waiting for as it sets true along the horizon. We did not notice any other English speaking people when we visited as most tourists come from the surrounding Balkan countries. Albania is not within the EU so ehic/ghic cards will not work so ensure you get travel insurance. Also the local currency is Leke (about 80 Leke to the £) but the Euro is widely accepted (coins not but notes yes). You will have the option of paying in either currency. Not all outlets outside the hotel will accept contactless/card payments so it is worth taking euros with you, or buying Leke from the airport which you can do whilst waiting to pick up your luggage from the carousel after landing. There is a currency exchange booth next to the carousel’s exchanging GBP/US/EURO to Leke. A couple of minutes walk from the hotel is a Spar shop selling various groceries at reasonable to less than UK prices. Unless your UK mobile network allows free data roaming in Albania, I would suggest you buy a Vodafone sim from the airport when leaving the arrival hall. It costs 30euros or 2900 Leke, cash only, and you get unlimited data for 30 days. Note that the sim will only work if your handset is not locked to a network.

We were a couple with a baby hoping to have some relaxing days in september 2023 in an all inclusive offer 170 Eur/ night. A day before arriving I asked if we can have a check in in 12:00 not in 14:00 ( as per rules) since we were with a little baby, and they confirmed us. When we arrived the room wasnt ready and they asked us to eat lunch first. The room wasnt ready even at 14:00 o clock. The watter wasnt warm enough, the free watter in the room was oppened, and the towels werent yet avaible. When we went to spa ( included in price) they offered a towel for 10 euros.Emotional shower wasent working. We asked if they can help us with a microwave to warm babys food they didnt help us. Food was average. Service was nice but not helpful. And the last but not Least mousquitos everywhere, we couldnt sleep all night.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
This Pension is not worthy of a 5-star rating We had a great stay but the Check-out was quite chaotic While we wanted to check out and paid for the mini bar conos (something we didn’t ask for ) they wanted to charge us an express fee at the pool As any self-respecting Pension you should generally be able to present the guest with an invoice he signed to claim this sum. We did not spend a day at the pool However, nobody asked us anything for the mini bar and we asked to pay this amount due The buffet is the same every day Nothing transcendent at all The Inn Beach is Dirty

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Flower Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. The room I was assigned to was unclean and had hair scattered everywhere, which was quite off-putting. Additionally, the behavior of the cleaners was quite rude.
The menu at the hotel was disappointingly poor. The lack of variety and quality left much to be desired. The staff seemed disoriented and disconnected, except for a girl in the main dining area and an older gentleman at the poolside bar.
One major drawback was the hotel's location, which was far from the beach. Even worse, the beach itself was not well-maintained or properly treated. The combination of these factors greatly diminished the overall appeal of the stay.
To add to the disappointment, the drinks offered at the hotel were subpar. They didn't taste anything like their supposed names, such as cola or sprite. The drink menu itself was also lacking in options. It was quite surprising to find out that the bars closed as early as 10pm, even when guests were still enjoying their drinks and the ambiance. Transitioning to a paid menu at that point seemed quite abrupt and unwelcoming.
Another issue I encountered was the division of the pool area in the evening. The separation between hotel guests' seating and the other area with elaborate setups seemed unnecessary and created a sense of inequality among patrons.
The bathroom experience was equally disappointing, as water from the shower area managed to spread throughout the entire bathroom, reaching even the door. This added to the overall discomfort during the stay.
Lastly, there appeared to be noticeable differences in treatment between all-inclusive guests and those who were not. This disparity created a sense of exclusion and was certainly not in line with the level of hospitality one would expect.
All in all, my experience at the Flower Hotel Albania left much to be desired. The issues with cleanliness, menu quality, staff behavior, and overall amenities greatly overshadowed any positive aspects of the stay.

Lovely hotel and resort a short walk from the beach in Golem.
Staff and facilities were fantastic, we would recommend upgrading to all-inclusive, such great value.
Buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner had a wide variety of options including a couple of local Albanian dishes.
The resort has 2 hotels, 2 pools and a beach bar with private beach area.
Someone cheekily put a meal down to our room number, but the reception staff dealt with this swiftly and effectively.
Would definitely recommend this resort.

I enjoyed very much staying in the Flower hotel. It has charming elegant rooms and excellent service on every level.TH estaff are very helpful and all speak English. They have two buildings close to each other. I was staying in the older white building with charming decoration and style. Breakfast is very good with fresh fruits and many choices. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, The Location is a short 5 minute walking distance from the beach side with many bars, restaurants and public beaches ,which are very organized with sun beds, umbrellas and good service. It took me about 30 minutes to arrive here from TIrana airport. The city of Golem is a very nice small beach resort city with many restaurants and shops and nice beaches. I can fully recommend it for a nice vacation in Albania.

Our first stay in Albania, hotel Flower & SPA (AI concept). Hotel is very beautiful, new and the territory around it is ok, but the way to the beach was awful. There were a lot of garbage laying around the houses and on the street on the way to the beach, and the smell in the air was disgusting. The rooms in the hotel were very clean, but the balcony was very dirty, they do not clean it at all. Staff in the hotel was unpolite and rude. We have payed the deposit for towels by the check in and they they didn't want to return us money by check out, cause they have lost their check. We had ours, but it doesn't help, the person in the reception told us to go to the hotel Flower Garden and to look for it there. I just called our tour guide and they suddenly solved the problem. The same food every day, cocktails are undrinkable, coffee was terrible. If you want to drink good coffee, you have to pay for it extra. The hotel has its own territory on the beach, but it is not a private one. Any local person may use it during the day. It is always full of people there, local families with children ect. There is not possible to relax. The sand is very dirty, people are smoking, drinking cocktails and throwing the smoked cigarettes and plastic sticks in the sand next to the sun beds. Food and service do not match 5 stars at all. It was our first experience in Albania, possible the last one.

I stayed at this hotel for only 2 hours before leaving, despite paying 120€. I encountered several issues that made my stay unbearable. One of the biggest problems was the presence of cockroaches in the kitchen, which was completely unacceptable. Additionally, there was a significant issue with the air conditioning in my room; it constantly leaked water.
When I brought these problems to the manager's attention and showed him videos as evidence, he was very rude and offered no solutions. This kind of treatment is unacceptable for a hotel that claims to provide good service. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant experience

I have been at Flower Hotel several times, with my family and also with my friends, and my experience there has always been exceptional. There is a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step in and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist. The rooms are so comfortable and at the same time beautifully designed and equipped with everything needed. The food is simply magnificent, every dish is like a masterpiece, with delicious flavour and impressive presentation. My parents are very difficult to please regarding food, because my mother is a wonderful cook and for this reason they rarely like food in restaurants. But Flower Hotel is one of the very few ones that she really loved and cannot wait to go back again.

We were last year and again this year, we will go in 2023. Perfect stay with a wonderful service, amazing and delicious food with a variety of options. Super clean rooms, child friendly environment and same time with a great program for children in the morning and adults in the evening with DJ at beach bar, live music by the pool in both Flower and Garden hotels. *the sanitary city sewage infrastructure is beyond control of the Hotel. We hope that next year it will be finally fixed.
