    Okay hotel in Tirana city centre
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Be aware that four stars in this case is not the four stars that you might be used to as these are the four stars awarded by an Albanian authority which seems to have slightly different standards. Two major issues: not sure if it is mentioned in the description, but the pool is actually located across the inner courtyard, so you can't just go there from your room through the building. The leaflet in the room indicates that it's open until 23:00, I went at around 21:00 and the lights were out with the cleaning device sitting in the water. I ended up not using it during my stay, although it was one of the reasons why I chose this hotel. Another issue is the lack of light blocking curtains: if your room faces the street, there's likely going to be a lamp on your balcony that you can't turn off and that shines through the curtain until late at night (3:00-ish). If you are a light-sensitive sleeper, that might be a problem. Minor issues: breakfast didn't quite feel fresh, and you have to ask for coffee to be brought from the bar downstairs. The rooms have no kettle, any coffee or tea, nor do they provide complimentary bottles of water. Smoking is permitted on the terrace, so you might not want to keep your room windows open if they are facing the street side.

    The hotel is very centrally located, close to many shops, restaurants an the city centre. The staff were nice and ready to amend mistakes.

    Very pleasant local-flair hotel with friendly staff, although with dated finishes and limited servic
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Single Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Room is still a bit hot even with window air-conditioning. Iti s not a "spa"-restaurant. Finishings are a bit old and dated and space is a bit restricted. But honestly, the amazing staff makes up for all of this!

    The staff at this hotel is amazing. They really go above and beyond with advice and simpel friendliness. It made any negatives disappear! The location also is perfect, in the middle of trendy but also very walkable Blloku - less than 10 mins to walk to the main square, and across from the former dictator Hoxha's mansion (unfortunately not open to the public, but viewable!).

    The spa was not working and this was one of the reasons for booking this hotel. The hotel should make it 100% clear that the Spa (which after all is in the name of the hotel), is not actually functioning

    Excellent location in the centre of Blloku, restaurants nearby. Very comfortable bed and good sized double bedroom. Breakfast was excellent. Wide range of cereals, fruit, cheeses, cooked eggs, cakes, croissant etc. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    The staff is very kind and helpful, but sometimes some services take more time than expected, the water pressure and temperature of the shower was a bit variable

    As we stayed in Tirana for a short vacation, the hotel was in a very good location. Prices are very reasonable, lobby, taxi, etc. The rooms are comfortable, quiet and clean, we chose slightly larger rooms, so there was enough space. The bed was super comfortable. It was a nice vacation.

    The facilities where closed due to covid messures so not to blame the hotel. But they could us inform soner.

    Been there 6 days during the eufa conference final. And many fellow supporters hired other hotels or appartments. A week before the final many hotels canceled the reservations. NOT this hotel, they kept there promiss and even picked us up at the airport for free. For trips in and around Tirana personal of the hotel gave us excellent advis and directions.

    all my concerns from last time have been solved. Everything was now ok. The smell of cigarette smoke has been addressed. The breakfast has also increased with more hot items look forward to spa opening later in the year

    The beds are high off the ground and very comfortable. The hotel offers a laundry service (right next door) which is very convenient Very friendly staff. Very convenient location in the heart of Blokku and many shops and restaurants nearby. The mini bar is well stocked It would be good to have a kettle for tea/coffee making, but there is a cafe on the ground floor.

    Perfect location in trendy neighborhood. Super friendly staff at the front desk and restaurant. It's a perfectly fine hotel. The furniture may not be to my liking but it's a different country with different tastes and that's fine. Large bathroom. Huge bed. And we had a living room which is great to spread out for Zoom calls etc. Taxi from the airport was no problem- they are controlled, there is a taxi line and a set fee to downtown Tirana (20euro) No rip offs here. The hotel can arrange a pickup but we didn't take advantage of that.
