Disaster, almost slept outside
Pros:

Nothing, took and confirmed my reservation and check in time and left them said they were full and left me wandering the streets with my luggage until 1 am trying to find a place to sleep.

Cons:

Everything, the outside of the locked door looked nice though!

Un incubo
Cons:

La struttura senza avvisarci in modo adeguato ed inequivocabile non ci ha dato le stanze. Sull’app la prenotazione risultava confermata così come pure contattando Booking stesso tutto risultava in regola ma non ci hanno dato le stanze lasciandoci alle 19 di sera senza stanza e senza fornirci soluzioni alternative. ci hanno completamente rovinato la vacanza, causando anche spese ulteriori. Sottolineo anche che arrivati lì non ci hanno neanche aperto, siamo saliti nell’ struttura insieme ad un cliente e per mezz’ora nessuno del personale era presente.

Eenvoudig maar goed
Pros:

Een eenvoudig onderkomen zonder al te veel franje. Prima voor een kort verblijf. De eigenaresse en haar zoon stelden alles in het werk om het me er naar m'n zin te maken. De snoepjes die op een schoteltje bij de receptie lagen, smaakten voortreffelijk...

Cons:

De sleutel voor de buitendeur was er eentje met een gebruiksaanwijzing. Je moet eventjes doorhebben hoe het precies werkt.

Three star hotel in great location
Pros:

Beds were super comfortable and bathroom nice and modern. Super clean everywhere which is the most important thing. Great location in the centre of town and near nice bars and cafes. Our flight arrived very late at night and they stayed up to check us in.

Cons:

The windows have no sound insulation so the noise from the street sounds as if they are open. All night you can hear cars hooting, people at bars, and people going to school early in the morning. I recommend ear plugs. There was never anyone at reception which made it difficult to ask questions about the hotel or Tirana. On booking.com we asked for a twin room with balcony but got a double room with window. There was no breakfast although it said on booking.com there was. These things happen but was a bit disappointing. The room was also more shabby than the photos.

Value and esthetics per price
Pros:

Owned by a very friendly family who seems to live there on a top floor, or just be there (ower's son once opened a front door to a tourist when going out for a Bolt food, but could not check her in, but allowed to wait inside where it is very lovely and pleasant).

Build with a vision of a small hotel, and architect seemed to do a very good job. Double rooms have esthetic decorations, especially the persian carpets. Single rooms are OK, not so nice, but positioned into the yard and thus very quiet (rooms facing the street are sufficiently queit, too).

Location about 15 minutes walk from the centre, but just next to the best craft tap room, and perhaps some of the best city's restaurants with regard to value per price.

Cons:

Given the price. all was underatandably reasonable. Just FYI that there is no standard reception, so you better inform them about your check-int ime, so you don't wait more than 1 minute on the street for them to open a front door for you. Some appliances in rooms are not in the best shape, and some sockets are not in good positions, resp. there is not enough in single rooms if you need to make a tea and charge tepelhone at the same time, but these are tiny details.

Lovely hotel in a great neighbourhood
Pros:

The hotel was really nice, well maintained and furnished. The neighbourhood was also in a great location close to cafes, bars and shops and 15min walk to the main square. The hotel also were very helpful in arranging airport transfer for me and on the few ocasisons we interacted they were very nice, they also were very kind in allowing me to change the dates of my stay as my travel plans changed.

Cons:

I was travelling for work and stayed at the hotel for almost a week and encountered some issues. The AC in my room was leaking and even though I booked a “city view” room I was checked into a room that was facing a wall. After two days the hotel kindly changed my room. As a solo traveller I booked the hotel because it advertised itself as having a 24/7 reception, but I never saw anyone there, which was very frustrating. It was difficult to find any staff at the hotel or get any advice or recommendations. On the few occasions I needed to speak to the hotel I had to do it though Booking and the response time was long. The hotel also advertised itself as accepting card payments, but they requested that I pay for my stay in cash, which was frustrating and inconvenient. The front door to the hotel was very difficult to open, as there were some issues with the lock, and I had to call the hotel every time to be let in, which once again was time consuming.
