GEO & Art Boutique Hotel Himara

We visited the brunch restaurant that's part of this hotel. The first time we went, they charged us for an extra item and we didn't realise until we got home. We weren't too bothered as it seemed an honest mistake and were happy to go back the next day. Unfortunately, the next day they again over charged us by making the prices on the bill different to the menu. When we tried to argue, they were insistent and wouldn't budge. It seems they think slightly overcharging each bill is a good money making scheme. Once could be a mistake, twice is a scam.

We were visiting friends in Himara, so we booked this hotel as close to their apartment. Lovely open reception is with a cool sea vibe. Friendly staff, spotless, lovely continental breakfast (pay extra for cappuccino, but very reasonable). Our room was on level 2, but at the back of the hotel. Our balcony was looking onto a wall, but at least there was somewhere to hang up our swimwear. We booked this hotel last minute, so there were no sea view rooms available, but would go back if sea view was an option on our next visit.

What an amazing hotel experience! Can’t wait to return. Great rooms with amazing ocean views and the staff and location are just amazing. And an awesome breakfast as well!

We Didn't Want to Leave... From the moment we checked into Geo & Art, our stay was absolute bliss. The view from the room was spectacular, the decor was warm and inviting, access to the beach was so easy, and getting to the shops and restaurants was a breeze. As for breakfast - I have been to a lot of hotels, and I've never experienced a more delicious and satisfying breakfast. Whether you like sweet baked goods or savory breakfast meats, everything was fresh and abundant. As if the location and the meal weren't enough, the staff were all incredibly warm and friendly. We enjoyed visiting with them and learning a bit about Himare. When it was time to go they made us feel so welcome to return that we didn't really want to leave! If you are looking for an inviting spot on the beach that is not overcrowded, come to Himare. If you are looking for a place to stay that will make you want to come back over and over, come to Geo & Art.

Good, but should be better. We liked the hotel, but there are a few things worth knowing before someone books. There is no onsite parking despite it saying so in the booking. Local parking options are very limited! During our stay we had issues with the key system beeping very loudly during the middle of the night which woke us up. The traffic and the bar are loud too but we expected this. The room was very small, I suspect we got given the smaller room when we had booked the larger one. Breakfast being included was a bonus.

The hotel was a great location next to the beach. The staff were really friendly and were keen to help us park our car as the road was closed on our stay due to the resurfacing the road. The police did let us through the road closure to get there with no issue. The hotel was clean modern and a great one night stay to the south of Albania. Breakfasthad a lot of choice for a small hotel. Would return.
