Hotel Epidamn Boutique & Spa

Fantastic stay, staff are amazing; super helpful, friendly and accommodating. Great location!

Me he alojado en famosos hoteles de lujo en mi vida y esta pequeña joya en la segunda ciudad de Albania rivaliza con ellos. Desde la recepción hasta la salida perfecto. Todo el personal es maravilloso y lo da todo. Los desayunos preparados y variados eran deliciosos y se servían con estilo. Habitación como la que tú mismo diseñarías. Baño e iluminación perfectos. Todas las comodidades modernas. Ubicación en el centro de todo. Paseo hasta el mar Adriático. No pierdas la oportunidad de dejarte mimar aquí.

Es necesario saber que el hotel está situado en un paseo marítimo muy transitado y hay muchos negocios en las inmediaciones, lo que contribuye a que ni siquiera después de medianoche se pueda dormir con la ventana abierta. Tocan en el hotel desde la mañana, al principio decentemente, luego a todo volumen, en el mejor de los casos, hasta medianoche, no se puede escapar, los altavoces suenan a todo volumen incluso en la playa... No se puede dormir con la ventana abierta. Además, nadar en el mar no es lo ideal, hay muchas algas en el agua, a veces la basura flota en ella y hay que tener en cuenta las medusas, que pican bastante dolorosamente. La piscina forma parte de la terraza del restaurante a la carta, por lo que caminar en bañador mojado alrededor de clientes sentados no es tan agradable, como sentarse junto a ellos en bañador... Por otro lado, excelente cocina, agradable y el personal profesional y la limpieza son una gran ventaja.

Me encantó la ubicación y la arquitectura, tanto externa como interna, del hotel. El personal y el servicio de habitaciones eran muy buenos. El problema, según mi experiencia, fue la infiltración regular de humo desde la sala del jardín, que está situada en el centro del hotel y donde se permite fumar. Además, el humo se filtra desde la cafetería de la acera, que se encuentra frente al hotel. Ese café en la acera es encantador durante el día y más bien parecido a una discoteca por la noche hasta las 11 de la noche. Es un lugar animado con mucho humo que sube hasta las habitaciones. ¡Tenía una encantadora habitación con cama doble y dos balcones con puertas francesas! Encantador mirar durante el día hacia Epidamn Bulevardi. Tenía una buena ubicación para escuchar las llamadas de la mezquita un par de veces al día, al menos, y los aullidos del perro de caza en respuesta a ellas. Diré que estuve allí durante la última semana de Ramadán, por lo que la gente en la acera al otro lado de la calle aparentemente ayunaba durante el día y comía y convivía toda la noche. El restaurante del hotel era constantemente un lugar donde respiraba humo, porque está situado entre la cafetería de la acera y la sala del jardín, donde se permite fumar. Varias veces me levanté de mi mesa cuando crucé la sala del jardín y cerré la puerta para minimizar la infiltración de humo. Como estadounidense, diré que me han mimado, ya que en los restaurantes de allí no se permite fumar.

Terribly hot place with staff who don’t care. This hotel looks great from the outside however when you look under the surface it has cracks beyond. We checked in and the receptionist was slight cold but we managed to check in. We did see the room which was hot and left the key in the room in error which in fact should have cooled down the room by the time we got back but didn’t. At 9.30pm we called reception to get a fan and was told it is impossible. And the room was fine according to a man who came up with the receptionist. Apparently the air con worked fine and it was not crap as I had said so we must have complained for no reason. Nice hotel congratulations to Donald in the restaurant who must be the best member of staff here as he was brilliant. However I am not impressed from there on.

My friend and I stayed here in October The weather was in the mid 20's, which was a lovely temperature. The hotel is very charming and I absolutely loved its character. From arrival to check out, all of the staff were just wonderful, this also extends to their restaurant, I can not say enough how great the staff are. When my friend took ill, they were fantastic and helped us at ease extend our booking. They showed kindness and sympathy. The hotel is in a great location, and you and you can walk to the amphitheatre, cafes, and bars from it. They also arranged for us to visit their sister hotel for a beach day (which is a stunning hotel) The taxi ride was about 25 minutes, and it was worth it, to speed time chilling on a lovely beach. I am vegan, and the staff were helpful in helping me modify dishes to make vegan. The hotel is in a very central location, which means you can hear the activity outside. However, we soon got used to this (we may have enjoyed cocktails), and it didn't bother us. If you are a light sleeper, then I would suggest, perhaps, ear plugs. I would recommend this hotel for its character, locating and just wonderful staff.

This hotel was fabulous, from check -in when they let us check in early through to check-out when they made us a breakfast takeaway for our early flight. I cannot rate this high enough. All staff were amazing and helpful, a special shout out to the waiting staff and housekeeping. The rooms were immaculate, spotlessly clean, and a good size with everything needed for our stay. The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous with a huge amount of choice (a la carte) and whilst we do agree with some of the other comments regarding slow service this was the case in all of the restaurants we visited and so is more a general thing rather than being specific to this hotel (maybe we live life too fast in the UK!!!!). We ate in the restaurant in the evening a couple of times and the food was absolutely delicious, we also just had drinks and it was a pefect ambience to relax with great vibe. All in all, this was a wonderful introduction to Albania and we would definitely return to this hotel in a heartbeat.

I can confirm past comments, my room did not have air conditioning (despite that it was listed in the features). It was 28 degrees in the room and impossible to open the windows given the noise from the busy street down. It was an awful night and the receptionist said it's always been like this and people usually manage (what does this even mean ?) For this price, better go somewhere else honestly. There is no lift to bring the luggage to the 5th floor and no help is provided. I would totally expect this in a guest house or 3 star hotel. This hotel manages to make great pictures for Google Maps references, but forgets there are actual customers coming and lack attention to them.

A small hotel with a hamam, clean, cosy rooms, a very good restaurant and very friendly staff who all speak some English. The vibe outside in the evening is very relaxed and we had a great time eating and sitting near the open doors, listening to live music on the hotel pavement whilst having our dinner and drinks. The food is of good value and quality.
