Vlorë National Museum of Independence Hotels

"The place was absolutely gorgeous, the hosts were wonderful. All that together makes this an excellent place to check out for your next visit to Albania. I loved it."

"The studio apartment is very clean, has everything you'd need for a short stay. There is a crib available and a washing machine right outside the door , has a lovely balcony that wraps around and you can see the promenade and sea. "

"I liked the view, wi-fi is available, the breakfast is ok, and the parking is available. What I didn’t like: rude staff, noisy, dirty rooms, towels are over used and stained with yellow marks, the sink is unsafe you can’t lean on it and leaks, Miskitos caused bites all over my arms and my legs, using the balcony is not possible due to different insects, no swimming pool it was close all the time I was there for six days, the hotel is not handicap friendly. Overall, pictures online are really deceiving, the hotel needs renovations "

"stayed at Hotel Olive in Vlorë from September 6–8, 2025 and it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. When I checked in, the air conditioner did not work, and the room was unbearably hot. I asked to change rooms but was told none were available. I couldn’t even stay in the room until late in the evening when it was finally fixed. The bathroom was a disaster: the shower flooded the entire floor, there was nowhere to place toiletries, and the soap dispenser was broken and empty. Toilet paper and amenities were nearly finished when I arrived, and the kettle had no cups to use with it. On top of that, the bed and pillows were so uncomfortable I couldn’t get proper rest. The hotel staff did little to address these problems, and the overall communication and service were completely lacking. The conditions made the room uninhabitable, and I ultimately decided to leave early, even knowing I would not get a refund. This is unacceptable, and I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone."

"The hotel was ok, but not quite as nice as appeared in the photos. The location was good."

"Lovely comfortable hotel at the end of the promenade near the harbour. I loved the location as it was only a few minutes to the main hustle & bustle of the promenade but at the quiet end so we had peace & quiet. Large comfortable modern room - bed was so soft and had the best night sleep here when travelling around Albania. Shower was great - great quality & lovely soft linen/bedding/towels - large balcony. Although not too much storage/drawers if staying longer. Staff were very nice & friendly. Great breakfast choice. I would 100% stay here again when I return to Vlore. 4 small things missing for me as a Irish/UK traveller - hanging hooks in the room&bathroom for bags/clothes, a long mirror, kettle/tea/coffee and a safe/safety box to store passport & money (as a reassurance no matter where I travel) "
