Elysium Hotel

It's a very beautiful hotel with a huge pool! Our kids loved it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One thing to be aware of is it's not located along the main walkable ocean boardwalk of Dhermi and there are not really walkable restaurants or shops around the hotel, nor can you walk to the beach. The hotel provides a shuttle and it's about a 8-10 minute ride to the beach. (If there was no traffic, it would be only 5 minutes). The hotel beach area is very nice. Just be aware the beach itself is very rocky. Bring reef shoes. We luckily had a car so at night for dinner and entertainment, we would drive down to the main walkable strip of Dhermi Beach where all the nightlife is. Parking is about 500 LEK (~$5). Overall, it is a great hotel that is clean and has nice facilities.

Hotel was fabulous and the staff were so friendly especially nico and Gison… food was fantastic highly recommend will come and visit again soon. Also very kid friendly and the pool area was so clean. The cleaning staff work so hard they never stop!!

Lovely hotel with good service. Room was clean with lovely balcony with sea and pool view. Staff were very friendly and a special thank you to the lovely Romana who is just delightful. She was very friendly and helpful and always smiling. An asset to the hotel. Great location with beautiful views. Would come back for sure.

Have to say the first impressions of walking into the reception were one of wow this looks so good. Hope the rest of the hotel matches it. And boy did it match. The rooms were clean and light with excellent bathrooms, fab showers, and plenty of free bathroom condiments if needed. The hotel pool area was unreal, so well kept , clean always, padded sun beds so very comfy and a great pool side bar. The restaurant was again a delight. The food was top notch and never once had a poor meal, from breakfast to lunch to dinner. But the most outstanding feature this hotel had was its staff. They were just so good at what they do. That’s all you want when away relaxing

The hotel is somehow classed as a 5 star hotel in Albania but having stayed in many hotels across 50 plus countries I would say this is more of a 3 star hotel for sure, but a 5 star hotel definitely NOT. Positives for me was the free shuttle service to the beach and back; and the large pool which was kept well cleaned. Negatives was the breakfast selection and the worn out beach towels that looked like rags - needs replacing. The room had a nice view of the sea/pool, it was clean but very very basic - no tea/coffee making facilities, no mini bar, no lotions, no dental kit, no vanity kit, no bath robes - just hand soap, shampoo & conditioner in the bathroom. There were a couple of English speaking tv channels which was nice to have. Staff were helpful.

This is the best hotel i have ever stayed in the south of Albania and in the last 15 years we have tried a lot of places. Never felt so good. Very good service excellent food, very clean rooms. The staff is very polite and friendly. Highly recommend.
