The Queen's Lion - Premium Hotel

Our weighted 10-point Holiday Score combines Google's overall rating, review volume, and sentiment around specific topics (service, food, atmosphere, accessibility). Sub-dimension scores weight category-specific signals — for restaurants we look at food and value mentions; for hotels at cleanliness and location; for beaches at water quality and facilities. Accessibility is weighted from verified wheelchair and mobility attributes.

Scores above 8.5 represent outstanding quality. 10.0 is reserved for editorial picks.

Why we like it

We keep coming back to the fact that this is a new property offering genuine amenities—pool, parking, breakfast, shuttle—at a budget price point. The rooftop is real: reviewers are specific about the infinity pool and the view it commands. For travelers wanting to base themselves in Sarandë without overspending, it's a straightforward choice.
