We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Although it's located in a slightly run-down area, the hotel itself was spotless, well-maintained, and very welcoming. We were in Albania for a few days and really enjoyed our stay here. They also have underground parking so ideal for travellers who hire a car! I would definitely recommend it!

Very nice hotel with nice rooms and facilities. The room is well equipped and has a small balcony. Clean and reception stuff does a great job. The breakfast is good. Hotel is located in the city center, The closest beach is approx 25 min. walking distance. The only small thing for improvement - The floor in the spa is very slippery.

Excellent service. The ladies at reception were very helpful, room was cleaned everyday to a great standard. Has a spa service and shopping mall. Only downside was that our window was facing the restaurant and people could see inside if we opened the curtains. Other than that it was great. Would recommend.

If you are looking for luxury at its peak, this is it. Grand Duka is an incredibly couple-friendly hotel with a beautiful, top-tier spa that feels like a peaceful sanctuary. A special shoutout to the kitchen team: we didn't head down for breakfast until 10:15 AM, but instead of the usual picked-over leftovers you get at other hotels, there was still a massive, fresh spread left for us. From the gorgeous room settings to the warm and helpful staff, everything was flawless. We loved our stay!
