Hotel Bologna: Best view of Vlora port and beach

We arrived late from Tirane to the Furgon stop
by the bus station at the roundabout and my
travel companion wanted to grab a place on
the beach front, the Hotel Bologna was listed in the
Bradt's Guide 2008 Edition, said beach side Hotels
€20 to €40 and away from the beach in the town,
€20 and under. We took a modern local bus down the
main road 3 stops and paid 30 Lek each, the driver was
a godsend after the nightmare of Urban buses in Tirane.
A 50 etre walk to the hotel. There was no reception, a
lady in the resteraunt after explaining the price of €35
thrust some room keys in my companions hands with a smile,
just 1 flight of steps next to the resteraunt, and a beautiful room
with a huge balcony overlooking the whole bay of Vlore and
the large hotel patio of the hotel below.
We met the manager later that night, a jovial fellow called Rami,
he was the sort who looked always busy and in charge, but always time
for the guests. The waiters were a bit slow, but I put that down to
being so young.

Hotel "Bologna" has 15 rooms, 10 double room,
5 single room. Rooms with bathroom, satelite TV,
balcony, Beach and quiet location (if there are no weddings). Moreover,
a great restaurant, American bar, car parking.

The restaurant with its Italian and Albanian traditional
cuisine is another factor that elevates the hotel’s standard.

READ AN EXCEPT FROM THE HOTEL BROCHURE ONLINE
We didn't delve into any of the following activities,
so can't comment.
Everyone was glued round a super size TV watching the
Albania vs Sweden match in Tirane..
Of course I cheered for Albania...hehe
Luckily was a draw..

Entertainmant

We offer you possibility of motorboat rides,
where you can experience the beauty of Albanian coast (from teh pirates Cave),
and for the more couragouse, the adventure will continue with paragliding.
For those who wouldn΄t dare to fly ther are other options, like a pool game,
ping-pong, beach volley or an afternoon on internet. The camping tents
are under the olive and orange trees, where you can barbecue meat or fish.
But this doesn΄t end here. Minutes close to the camping site is the picturesque village,
where you can walk or pay a visit to anytime. The evening will offer you anothe magic:
and starry sky, the reflection of the Moon in the se a under the marvelous sounds of the
music that will never stop: you will have everything you desire, a romantic evening
a party, a sauna, show, cinema, live music etc.

Unique Quality:
Hotel Bologna has 5 weddings a day in August and
maybe 3 are at the same time spread out over the
hotel premesis. Weddings during Ramadan is something
to experience...
I ran into a German chap who would be teaching maths at the university
in English and another teacher from Sri Lanka also a maths teacher.
Apparently they could eat at the hotel and the University paid for
their food, so I ran into this tall thin almost albino German chap several
times, always with his slim leather briefcase in tow. Quite a move when
coming from Stuttgart the home of Mercedes, a natural ally for any
Albanian driving a car..


The manager is called Rami Isufi

Sinani's house: Right in front of the sea

From my travel experience I can say that in most cases it is difficult to combine cheap prices with clean accomodation and perfect location. Well, in Vlora it happens. I recommend the rooms at a place known as Uji i Ftohte (Rrapi). You just stop there and ask for Sinani's house. They have plenty of rooms with nice gardens of olive trees in front. However during summer months- july, august - they accept booking for a minimum stay of 2 weeks. While from April till May and after august you may stay as long as you like for 8 eur per room (3 beds, kitchen and shower inside). Distance from sea: 50 meters.

hotel new york: tacky hotel albanian style

Apparently we were the only non-locals staying at the hotel - and we were welcomed like king and queen. Hotel new york is a 2 star hotel which should deserve two extra stars - one for its cleanliness and sea terrace, and one for its tachiness. Not even in Las Vegas I have come across such a room

Unique Quality: The photo of the room speaks for itself- we also had a nice balcony overlooking the sea.
More seriously an added bonus of the hotel is its swimming-pool - just perfect for a last post-beach dip, especially when the weather is terribly warm.
In 2006 it was 50 euros a night, including breakfast.

There are a good number of...

There are a good number of nice hotels in Vlora and many more continue to be build. Some of the operating hotels are: 'Vlora International', 'Bologna', 'Beti', 'Diplomat', 'Versiglia', 'Plazhi i Ri', 'Greta'.

Many of these apart from accommodation also offer bar and dinning spaces of excellent quality.
