Terrible impression
Irene Lisette Con 17/01/2017 11:07Following the good review, I had a booking for this hotel... Found it without problem but the impression at the reception was so disastrous that we went to another hotel. Even with booking at hand, no room ready, no water and cold everywhere... can't recommend this hotel, at least out of season.
Average Hotel
Jib Son 26/08/2014 15:49We stayed at the Hotel Lido for one night in August 2014. The hotel was not easy to find because the entrance is not on the main road and the hotel sign is barely visible especially at night. Even though we reserved the hotel 3 weeks before, but we arrived to the hotel late because of the delayed of the ferry from Italy to Albania, therefore the only room we could get was the worst one on the first floor with no A/C (Imagine a very hot summer day in August). The sink in the WC was broken, the water was leaking and it was not possible to have a warm water (but either extremely hot or extremely cold). However, it was only one night, so we went through it. The lobby area had a nice design and the receptionist that night was very sweet and helpful. She helped cleaning the leaking water. Breakfast was limited, but it is pretty much like that everywhere in Albania. I recommend having Fig jam/marmalade on your bread. I was mesmerized and totally fall in love with it. All in all, I would say it is a decent stay for the price you pay.
Mid-priced Hotel centrally located
tiagodnaon 14/08/2014 20:26Struggled a bit to find the Hotel as the entrance does not face the main street. Be sure to ask for directions, it's right across the Thermal Baths ruins street.
Centrally located, near the main sights (amphiteatre, termal baths), and a short walk from the boulevard that stretches along the shore (10/15 minutes walk).
Rooms are big, bed was huge, has AC, minibar and Wifi. Hotel as a nice decoration though the room itself could benefit from a little TLC.
Breakfast was a disapointment but I suppose we could have tried to ask for something else.
Price is fair, you get what you pay for - except the poor breakfast.

laendersammleron 19/06/2014 17:38I stayed at the Hotel Lido for one night in April 2014. I was the only guest at the hotel. Hotel was not easy to find (the entrance is not on the main road). Lobby area had a nice design. Rooms was simple. Breakfast with limited choice. Staff helpful (accompied me to the post office, as it was to difficult to explain the way to it). A short walk to the main sights of Durres.
Very comfortable central location
MAKey2013on 06/11/2013 14:20My wife and I enjoyed an excellent stay at Hotel Lido. There was free parking on site which was very welcome. The central location was excellent and it was very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was a bit basic but adequate as the restaurant was closed when we were there. On the whole, very good value.
