    The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and close to all the cool party spots. The staff were super chill and made our stay even more fun. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a great time with our friends. We had a blast exploring the vibrant nightlife and taking in the amazing views of the city.

    The only thing we wished for was a better soundproofing in the room. We could hear the party music from the bar downstairs, which was exciting at first, but sometimes we just wanted some quiet time.

    our recent stay in sarande was amazing, but our experience at rai exceeded all expectations. the helpful host recommended a fantastic local restaurant and even exchanged currency for us. the convenient location near the port and beaches, along with the abundance of shops and restaurants, made our stay even more enjoyable.

    Wifi was unreliable.

    The room was spacious and had a strong AC, which was a plus. The location was great, close to the beach, port, and bus stations. There were plenty of shops nearby for convenience. Additionally, we had a big balcony, which was nice to relax on.

    The WiFi was a major issue. It was disconnected throughout the town and the signal was generally poor.

    Useful amenities like a fridge, climate control, and a TV 📺 made our stay comfortable. It served as a good home base for exploring around. However, the beds could definitely use an upgrade as they were not very comfy.

    Our stay at Hotel Rai was fantastic. The location was amazing, just a short walk from the promenade and the beautiful beaches. We loved the convenience of having shops and great restaurants close by. The host was incredibly kind and hospitable, making us feel right at home. The pictures of the hotel were accurate and the apartment was nicely styled. Despite some drawbacks like limited utensils for cooking and occasional noise from a local bar, we had a great experience overall. We would definitely recommend Hotel Rai for anyone visiting Sarande.

    Arriving at Rai, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful host who greeted me upon arrival. They provided excellent recommendations for dining and were always available to assist me during my stay. the room itself was immaculate and appeared to be recently renovated. Its spaciousness and comfortable bed made for a pleasant night's sleep. the location was also ideal, being conveniently close to both the beach and the center of town. I would highly recommend Rai to others seeking a great place to stay in the area. Cons: Nothing not to love! 😊.

    The room at Hotel Rai was amazing, with a fully equipped kitchen and a fridge! It felt like home away from home.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the oven in the triple room. But hey, some people might enjoy it!

    The host was an absolute gem, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The room was spacious with a charming balcony, a well-appointed bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette. The location was perfect, close to the beach and the city center. The hotel offered Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, laundry facilities, express check-in/-out, VIP check-in/-out. Easy beach access and a strict no-pets and no-smoking policy added to the overall positive experience.

    The value for money at Rai was great, with a nice apartment and a convenient location near the beach. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, even offering covered parking for our car.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety and options.
