Huoneiston amupala ja sijainti oli hyvät.
Pros:

Aamupala on runsas ja hyvä, sijainti hyvä ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Cons:

Ilmastointi ei tahtonut riittää viilentämään koko huoneistoa, jääkaappi vuoti vettä->jouduttiin sammuttamaan, perhehuone näytti vain osin uudistetulta (kylpyhuone hieno).

Great Value for Money
Pros:

Overall, I had a good stay and I think this place offers excellent value for the price. The Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay, and the breakfast was good for what I paid. Everything else met my expectations, and the staff were great.

Cons:

My only complaints were that the bed was a bit small and not very comfortable for me, as i couldn't spread my legs and the bed as a wooden end on it, and the TV wasn't working properly. I didn't use it much, so it wasn't a major issue, but it's something that could be improved.

Overall, you get what you pay for, and for the price, this is a very good place to stay. With a more comfortable bed and a working TV, it would be even better.

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at the Artistic. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Blloku, making it easy to walk to the city center, the lake, and many of Tirana's best restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious, and we especially enjoyed having it on the lovely balcony each morning.

The hotel offers excellent value for money, combining a great location, comfortable accommodations, and warm hospitality. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tirana.
