Hotel Brilant Saranda

An in demand hotel and rightly so! Super location just south of the beach with incredible views of the promenade and sea. 6th floor is the way to go! Breakfast was a little underwhelming, but don’t let that put you off booking (as long as you can secure the right room!).

We had a very pleasant visit in hotel Brilant Sarande. The rooms are very elegant, clean and comfortable. The hospitality in the hotel is excelent. From the rooms you can see amazing sunsets and view to the center of Sarande. I would come here again!

My wife and I stayed here for just one night before taking the ferry to Corfu. With just one proviso we would recommend it as a convenient and comfortable place to stay in Saranada. The Brilant is a modern high-rise building overlook the harbor. The lobby area was attractive and welcoming, and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Our room (406) was very large with a sliding glass door opening onto a spacious balcony. It had a roof-top view of the surrounding buildings and a peek a boo view of the harbor. Rooms on higher floors might have better views. There were two comfortable twin beds, night stands with outlets, a couch, a small coffee table, a desk, a built-in luggage stand, and a low bench at the foot of each bed. The decor was bright and cheery, befitting a seaside location. The tiled bathroom was large and attractive, with a shower, pedestal sink, and bidet. There was only a small shelf above the sink for storage. The only problem with the room was that the a.c. didn’t work and the room was unbearably hot even with the sliding door open. We complained but the front desk person was unable to get it working and offered us another room which had a.c. that put out only mildly cool air. We opted to stay in the original room and use a portable a.c. unit which was already there (meaning this was a persistent problem) and it worked fairly well, even though we had to leave the sliding door open slightly to allow for the unit’s exhaust tube to vent outside. Breakfast was in a pleasant room on the 5th floor with a nice view of the harbor. There was a good selection of items, though good single-cup coffee was an extra charge. Overall, we recommend the Brilant, provided you obtain a room with effective air conditioning.
