Hotel Lili-1
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want a central, very well-reviewed room in Sarandë at a low price. The only real catch is breakfast, which is small and served at a nearby venue, with coffee charged extra.

Budget-minded couples, families and road-trippers will find a lot to like. The rate is low, the guest score is high, and family rooms, air conditioning, a terrace and free parking are listed. Staff help with parking and local tips.
If you want a resort with a spa, a pool or a big breakfast spread, this is not that. None of those are listed, and breakfast draws the only consistent complaint. People who expect hotel extras should look at our Luxury pick instead.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at Rruga Adem Sheme 87, in what booking sites call the top-rated area of Sarandë. Guests rate the location 9.7 out of 10, the highest figure on this page. They describe it as central, close to the beach, the port, the promenade, restaurants and shops.
Lëkurësi Castle is the one sight in our data. It is about 2.2 km away, roughly 28 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate. That is walkable for most people, but the real route and terrain have not been checked, so allow extra time or take a taxi if you prefer.
What guests say
A score of 9.3 out of 10 from 721 reviews is very strong for a three-star hotel at this price. Two themes stand out. First, the location, described as central to everything a short trip needs. Second, the staff, who are called friendly and welcoming and who help with parking and local advice.
Breakfast is the weak spot. It is a set continental menu served at a place nearby rather than a buffet in the hotel. Guests say it tastes good, but portions are small and coffee costs extra.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was about €40.50 a night, so around €81 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. This is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates, as rates in seaside towns move a lot with the season.
Apart-Hotel Lili2, our Budget pick, was about €32.40 a night with an 8.7 score and four stars. San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only, our Luxury pick, was about €107 a night with an 8.1 score and five stars. For about €8 more a night than the budget option you get a higher guest score here. The Luxury option costs more than twice as much and scores lower with guests.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible hotels in Sarandë. Our Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and price together. Lili-1 placed joint second of the 8 on guest score, and its reference price was 40% below the sample median of €67.50 a night.
High score, solid review volume and a price well under the local middle: that mix is exactly what this category is for.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether breakfast is in your rate and budget a little for coffee.
Free parking is listed, but ask how it works, since staff help guests park. In November, confirm what is open nearby, as our data does not cover seasonal closures.
