Saint Nicolas

I came to Himarë for a vacation, not to spend my time dealing with refund headaches and unnecessary follow-ups. What should have been a simple refund turned into days of uncertainty and repeated communication. I was given incorrect information about the transfer timing, and when the refund finally arrived, the amount was less than what I had originally paid. I understand that banks can have processing times, but the way this situation was communicated and handled was extremely disappointing. For a 5-star hotel dealing with international guests, I expected much better professionalism, clarity, and responsibility. A holiday should be about relaxing and enjoying your stay — not chasing your money and dealing with unnecessary stress afterward. Very disappointing experience

The hotel is absolutely perfect, the room is very big and spacious, staff is so friendly and the breakfast is perfect! The beach in front of the hotel has sunbeds available and lots of restaurants options.

The St Nicholas is hands down one of the best hotels/resorts I have ever stayed in. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Himare was delightful. The front desk staff were wonderful, booking excursions, recommending restaurants, and anticipating every need. The buffet breakfast was absolutely delicious with a huge variety of hot items, local delicacies, baked goods, fresh fruit and high end coffees. The rooftop pool and restaurant provided an exquisite view. The room was large with two balconies and a dreamy bed. The bathroom was huge with a large tub, separate shower and double vanity. We were sad to leave but look forward to returning again soon.

Beautiful hotel in Himare. The rooms were great, they have beach lounges and umbrellas that.you.can use all day. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The only down side is that the rooftop pool is quite small.

Clean, spacious rooms. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. The rooms and the hotel are very well maintained. Great location! The staff are very nice and helpful! The hotel has a nice small gym, saunas, rooftop bar (great music on weekend evenings with a DJ) that also has a pool, free for use. Sunbeds on the beach, free for use.

It's a lovely hotel and as an English speaker, most of the staff were very communicative. The hotel is beautiful and our standard double room was nice.

The room and location were great. I would recommend staying here, however with this being a new hotel it's still having some teething problems.

Although previous reviews have talked about the pool and rooftop bar, the hotel seems to be undergoing a total renovation. There is no more pool or bar, and they are literally still building the rooms on the top floor. Breakfast was only available at the hotel on my second day; the first day I was sent to a restaurant about five minutes away. Although I left a do not disturb sign on my door, someone knocked repeatedly and demanded to come in and check that I had not taken anything from the mini bar. No one came to clean my room, or even to replace the bottle of water that I was given when I checked in. This place is not ready for primetime.
