Olivia's Hill Resort is located south of Durres which is really great if you want to stay in a more relaxed place. We stayed for 2 nights and the place was very clean and comforfable. This place also has alot of sun loungers and outdoor pool to fill all your sunbathing needs. Free breakfast was included in the price and we were served on the table with delicious food. This place also has a restaurants if you wish to dine in the hotel. We randomly also stubled on live audition which was great addition to our stay. Hotel had enough parking spots. If you want to go to the beach you have to walk back a little and go to an overpass. It takes around 10 mins to arrive on the beach. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants which 2 I'd like to highlight (Sapore di Mare and Shkodra). All in all we were very happy with our stay!

We loved everything about our stay at Hotel Kloest, from the great location to the breakfast and delicious cappuccinos every morning, to the great value for the cost. We even had a sea view from the charming Juliet balcony. But what makes it extra special is the friendly and caring staff. Every person we met at the hotel was simply wonderful. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Albania, which we definitely plan to return to!

Durres is a nice relaxing place to stay, a lot of history.

Durres is a nice relaxing place to stay, a lot of history. plenty of shops, people were helpful, plenty of small bars most selling food at very reasonable prices. A walk along the beach is recommended where there are many restaurants with lots of variety. if travelling i would recommend taking a bus as taxis are rather expensive i.e. a bus from the airport will cost 7 euro whilst a taxi will cost around 37 euro.

When we visited the busy season had finished so a lot of the restaurants were closed. I think the resort would be very lively in the main season. Would recommend visiting before the middle of September

We hired electric bikes and rode across the city, which has lots of historical sites. The people are friendly and welcoming. The food is also amazing here. There are local homemade foods too. We came in September and it was still warm enough to tan but not so hot you couldn’t enjoy walking or exercising.

Durrës is a very diverse city, with both modern buildings and unfinished construction as well as scattered trash. The seafront promenade is long and pleasant, lined with plenty of restaurants and small shops. Public transport is available and inexpensive, with a bus ticket costing 40 lek. You can also find bike rentals for exploring the city.

I find that the banking situation is an obscene scam.

I find that the banking situation is an obscene scam. All of my credit card purchases serviced by Raiffheisen Bank were declined at grocery stores for some reason. Several ATMS did not provide me with cash. I had to take cash out of an ATM that charged me $50 US Dollars to take cash out, because the card servicer wasn't approving the card transactions at the grocery store. I have not had this serious of a problem in any other country. I didn't really explore a lot. I wish there was a store that carried camping/hiking equipment. I think the coastline is nice. The restaurant prices seem to be reasonable. Mostly I stayed in my room at my hostel by myself so I can't really be reliable to rate the entire city.

Know where you are going and evaluate it accordingly! Durres is a city that is developing at a rapid pace, including the coast, the port and the city. The coastal promenade began to be transformed in 2022 and it turned out beautifully! It has one shortcoming, there is no garbage collector anywhere by the sidewalk, despite this, there is no garbage anywhere. Along the coast, you can still see the buildings left from the 19th century fishing village, some of them are still inhabited (!), in some places there is still a pile of garbage, beggars walk around in the evening, but the sea is fine, the transformation of the coast was very successful. Getting into the city from the hotel row by bus is inconvenient. It is nice to see how the city and the coast are completely transformed and modernized over the years. In 2025, three new hotels will be built on the hotel row, within a kilometer, and the handover is scheduled for 2026. Let's take a look! The food is pretty much the same everywhere, good, as are the prices, but the hospitality at the DELFINI restaurant is excellent! The people are nice and friendly. The traffic, oh my, you have to pay attention! The one whose car is ahead has priority. They honk, but despite that, they are patient and understanding with foreigners. In previous years, there was a concrete-lined beach area in front of some hotels, which was being cleaned up. Unfortunately, the concrete pieces can still be found underwater, which is very unpleasant to step on. Beachgoers throw the concrete pieces onto the beach, and the garbage truck takes them away the next morning. It would be nice to sift this out with a machine! In Italy, we saw a tractor that sifted and cleaned not only the beach sand, but also the sand in the shallow water. It should be done here, too!

I stayed one night in top view hostel and I can say it is one of the best hostel I have ever been. The place is great, just next to archaeological muzeum of durres and there is a roof where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the bay. I took the chance to work remotely one day and the WiFi is very good, perfect place for remote work. And the owner Jakub is a great person. He let me have a shower before going to airport, even if it was way later my check out. Never in Europe it has me allowed to do so. Only in Albania!

Fabulous place to stay, secluded but very close to Durres city. A family run business and they do everything they can to make your stay amazing. The food was the best we've had and the room was spotless and had everything you need with its own private garden and access to the beach. There is no WIFI but I had an Albanian SIM card and just used hotspot for the other devices. No real problem. It's very peaceful and friendly and we'll definitely like to come back.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We booked this hotel for our last night in Albania. Our flight was at night the next day. They let us use the sunbeds on the beach free of charge for the whole day after we checked out. We could also leave the car at their car park. So it was very helpful for the last day which we wanted to spend on the beach. The breakfast was very nice. The restaurant served delicious food.

We stayed at Sally Hotel on our first day in Albania, and it was an excellent choice. The lovely host, Angela, and the restaurant staff were incredibly kind and welcoming — they helped us with everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, honestly the best we've had so far! The room was spotless, smelled great, and was very well equipped. Highly recommended. Thank you for a perfect start to our trip!
