Heel fijn verblijf gehad!
Pros:

Hele mooie locatie. Kamer zelf is comfortabel en het rook en zag er schoon uit!
Lekker ontbijt (wat meer west Europees met croissantjes, harde broodjes en fruit). Heel mooi uitzicht en je loopt zo de oude bazaar op

Cons:

Door de recensies wisten we dat parkeren geregeld was met de locatie die de host van te voren stuurt maar dit had nog iets duidelijker gemogen want het is een algemene parkeerplek, er zijn er ook meerdere in dat straatje.
Neem geen koffer mee naar deze locatie was je moet een (glad) stuk bergopwaarts lopen vanaf de parkeerplek (ongeveer 5 min lopen door de bazaar).

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Kruja Albergo Diffuso. The location inside the castle is truly special, with breathtaking views over the mountains and the town. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and full of character, and the breakfast terrace was a beautiful place to start the morning.

What made this place unforgettable, though, was the incredible hospitality. Staff_ was genuinely kind and welcoming, and the owner went far beyond what anyone could expect. After another hotel on the opposite side of Albania suddenly cancelled our reservation during the peak season, he immediately started making calls to his contacts in that area and managed to find us a place to stay when everything else was fully booked. We were so grateful for his help.

This is much more than just a beautiful hotel – it's a place run by people who truly care about their guests. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Krujë.

Great accommodation in Krujë
Pros:

Great location inside the fortress, wonderful outdoor space overlooking the plain, very comfortable rooms.

Cons:

The constant music in the outdoor space (especially when songs are, quite incredibly, on never-ending repeat mode) – the personnel would be well-advised to be a bit more attuned to the clients’ needs in that regard.

A really special place to stay in Kruje. We recommend it highly.
Pros:

Amazing location within the castle with stunning views to the sea. Very comfortable rooms and lovely bathrooms. A beautifully and sensitively renovated building close to the Scandebeg Museum and restaurants. A delicious breakfast on the terrace. We loved it.

Cons:

It’s a little walk up to the castle from the taxi drop off on an uneven paving. Not a problem for us but may be for some guests.

La struttura e’ perfettamente ristrutturata e nel centro del paese.
La camera era spaziosa, accogliente, pulita e silenziosa.
La colazione nella terrazza era magnifica.

Cons:

Prima start van onze vakantie. Kruja is op en top gastvrijheid
Pros:

de vriendelijkheid en dienstverlening van de gastheer. Het was ons eerste hotel op Albanie reis, en we voelden meteen die typische gastvrijheid en beschikbaarheid. Gastheer stond klaar om overal mee te helpen. Prima verwelkoming in Albanie

Cons:

de afstand van de parking naar het hotel. Het was wat warrig, maar gelukkig hielp de gastheer met de valiezen.

Pros:

The location is special, being within the castle walls and the building itself being very old. We had the only balcony and the sunset views were fantastic. The staff were informative and keen to preserve the towns history. The small town is very nice too and only 30mins by taxi to the airport.

Cons:

The hotel is expensive, but with only 6 rooms you sort of accept this. Breakfast on the first day was frankly poor, but much better on our second day.

Vlakbij kasteel een kleine oase
Pros:

Dit is echt een fantastische plek om een nacht te verblijven. Onderaan het kasteel met uitzicht vanuit de kamer op het kasteel en het terras over de vallei waar je een prachtige zonsondergang kan zien. De gastheer is heel behulpzaam en gaf ons instructies waar we onze auto konden parkeren. Hij bracht ook onze bagage terug. De kamer is ruim met grote badkamer en heerlijk rustig. Heel leuk ook om in de avond en vroege ochtend in alle rust rondom het kasteel te lopen zonder alle toeristen. Bezoek vooral ook het ethologisch museum dat vlakbij het hotel ligt. Dat is echt heel erg leuk en interessant.

Cons:

Ik zou voor wat snack mogelijkheid zorgen als je op terras zit. Het ontbijt was wel karig. Voor de prijs voor één overnachting mag er wel wat luxer en uitgebreider ontbijt zijn.
Het hotel was wat moeilijk te vinden. De bewegwijzering zou beter kunnen. Vanaf de parkeerplaats moet je verder lopen. Je loopt met je bagage over de keien naar het kasteel en dan moet je echt wel zoeken. Na de tunnel meteen rechtsaf slaan.
Het waren 2 eenpersoonsbedden naast elkaar.

Non mi sembra molto "diffuso"...
Pros:

La struttura è indubbiamente suggestiva e permette di alloggiare in un contesto storico molto caratteristico. La vista panoramica sul borgo e sulle montagne è il suo punto di forza e l'atmosfera generale è perfetta per chi cerca un'esperienza fuori dagli schemi tradizionali.
Molto bella la terrazza della colazione, con una bellissima vista.

Cons:

È assolutamente necessario che la struttura avvisi chiaramente i clienti prima dell'arrivo riguardo alla logistica: per raggiungere la reception e le camere bisogna camminare su strade di ciottoli molto ripide e in salita. Portare i bagagli a mano è faticoso, ma soprattutto il percorso è del tutto sconsigliato a chi ha problemi motori. La colazione abbastanza basica.
