Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is not at all as advertised. For one thing, they claim to have in-room washer/dryer, which is definitely not true. Other cons: the room was shabby with scuffed up walls, warped flooring and damaged furniture. It smelled like smoke, despite being a non-smoking room, which means other rooms allow smoking or other guests were ignoring the rules. The HVAC system was noisy and woke me up at night; the walls are thin and I could hear the cleaning staff speaking loudly in the hallway. My safe didn’t work. Simply put: There is no way this hotel meets the standards for a four-star property. Pros: the staff were friendly and the breakfast decent. The hotel’s location is good, near the upscale part of Tirana, close to many of the attractions.

Fantastic hotel, best location, amazing staff

We absolutely loved staying here! Hotel and staff - great all purpose hotel. Lovely breakfast buffet serving both hot/cold, sweet/savoury food, with a beautiful garden area to eat in. We were amazed at how people that were not guests of the hotel were coming here to eat - some of them we saw multiple times during our stay! The staff could not do enough for us, and I would say we are that couple that have a question/request every time we pass reception! They were able to speak very good English, and were most helpful with any information we needed. Their hospitality and conversations with us were genuine, Room - perfect for a city break, with a very comfortable bed, nice balcony, and all the wash facilities you could need. Safe has a key and also combination, and our room was cleaned daily. Location - could not be better and because it is tucked down a side street, you do not get the noise that I have read on reviews for other hotels in the area. Within a minute walk you have an all purpose shop (Rossman) for toiletries, food and drink etc. Across the road from the shop is Skanderbeg Square. From here you are only a few minutes walk from the main city centre shops. As the area is very flat, you can see most of the main monuments of Tirana easily within one full day like we did if you so wish. There is a very famous bazaar (flea market) within a couple of minutes of the hotel. When we return to Tirana, we will be staying here again!

Excellent hotel

The room, though small, was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is located in the centre of Tirana in a busy area but is very quiet as it is situated in a side street. The breakfast buffet was quite good although very limited hot food. There is no restaurant in the hotel other than breakfast which is disappointing but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. There is a spa with a sauna and plunge pool. I would have liked the water in the pool to be warmer as it was too cold to swim for long. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The receptionist even ironed my shirts and didn’t want to be paid! All in all, a great place to stay.

Will stay here again

The hotel is very centrally located, it is relatively small in size but had everything we needed. The room was a good size with a large bathroom and shower cubicle. The bed was very comfortable and wide and the TV had a good range of channels showing movies in English. The room was spotless and has a fridge/mini bar, tea/coffee making facilities and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was included and consisted of a wide range of options including made to order omelettes. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was a small indoor swimming pool and spa in the basement.
