Good location, bad facilities
Pros:

Location as convenient, just 15 minutes walk from centre of Tirana

Cons:

There is a lot that needs updating to this property. The sheets had holes in them. The bedroom doors are made of glass, so the light from the hallway comes in and makes it difficult to sleep. Also very noisy, can hear everyone shutting doors all hours of the night. For €30 I understand it is budget, but you can find much better value for money elsewhere

Heel goede prijs-kwaliteit en ideale locatie!
Pros:

Hele goede prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding en een ideale locatie om de hoofdstad te ontdekken!
Supervriendelijke eigenaars en een lekker ontbijtje waaruit je kon kiezen uit boterhammen met honing en een glas melk of een roerei of spiegelei met een boterham en een koffie of theetje. De bar is de hele dag door open om iets te drinken.

Cons:

Never stay at this place even for free
Pros:

Very close to the center. But the surrounding area looks very bad. You will see hanging clothes from your window.

Cons:

1. You feel yourself like a poor who cannot afford anything better. The place is like a shelter for homeless people. Starting from the entrance, it looks old and no renovation is done for years. Beds, wardrobes, and other stuff are very very old and broken. Do not stay in this place if you want comfort and respect. They don’t know what is it. I was very surprised that they call it “hotel”. This is not a hotel.

2. They have very poor understanding of privacy. The entrance door to your room is made of very low quality glass doors. I have never seen any hotels with glass doors before. And anybody can easily open it, lockers are very bad. When I told them that their doors must not be glass, they said “nobody will look into your rooms” :) It is not about looking, it’s about your feeling of safety and privacy.

3. It was extremely cold. Their air conditioners could not make it warmer. The door to the balcony had a big hole, we simply covered it with a towel.

4. The room itself is a disrespect for the guests. I am surprised how Booking.com accepted it as a place for 4 people. You can hear everything from the bathroom and from the corridor.

5. They cook standard omlet with vegetables for a breakfast, while butter and cheese are in a separate menu, they don’t go together. I found this as a disrespect as well. It is insulting when you ask for extra slice of butter or extra spoon of sugar. I would better pay money for all of them and enjoy my breakfast.

6. The person, who met us at the reception in the night spoke zero English, and he just asked us to pay money, that all what he could communicate with us about. I felt ashamed in front of my children, as we felt we were asking shelter from them.

We left the “hotel” in 2 days and found cheaper and well equipped place, that respect guests. I would ask Booking.com to check the place and take measures to take them out from their recommendations.

Pros:

Niente, ma perché ci sono questi " hotel" in booking mi chiedo .
Non vi vergognate di pubblicare informazioni false.

Cons:

Tutto, internet assente, finestra che non si chiude il bagno che seduto ci sbatti contro il muro. Piastrelle rotte .

Booking è unico responsabile di questo scandaloso servizio.
