Ames Hotel & SPA

I had a very disappointing experience at Ames Hotel in Vlore. My friend and I stayed from October 17th to 19th, paying 152 euros for what was supposed to be a relaxing stay in a hotel that looked great online. Unfortunately, reality didn’t match the advertisements.

First, the room advertised a sea view, but our room faced trees, completely blocking the view. The rooftop pool photo showed a beautiful sea view, but a construction site now blocks the view entirely, something that the hotel failed to update in their photos. The staff was unfriendly, particularly the receptionist, who was rude and refused to accept card payments. The room itself was not properly cleaned – there was even a used band-aid stuck near the TV, which was disgusting. We also booked two single beds and were given a queen bed instead, which caused further inconvenience. Lastly, the black coffee served at breakfast was cold on the first morning.

This trip was supposed to be a dream vacation that we had planned for a long time, but our stay at this hotel left us frustrated and disappointed.

To make matters worse, after leaving an honest negative review on Booking.com, the hotel canceled our reservation on the platform, making it impossible for others to see our feedback. This behavior is unacceptable and only adds to our negative experience.

I do not recommend Ames Hotel, as they seem more interested in hiding the truth than providing quality service.

This version is concise and touches on the key points of your frustration, including the cancellation of the review on Booking.com.

We had a room in the 5th floor. It was nice until we need to have a shower. The shower was completely blocked. The sauna was good and clean. The breakfast was good. The restaurant was not good. The past was a size of a kids pasta and the beef took more than 30min to get in the table. Ps.: we were the only table at the restaurant.
