Pros:

L'emplacement était super avec une vue magnifique. Le personnel nous a très bien accueillis et même guidés pour arriver à bon port en voiture. Nous avons pris le repas du soir au restaurant et c'était un très bon rapport qualité prix.

Kasteelbelevenis met fraai uitzicht
Pros:

Het geweldige uitzicht vanaf de locatie op een berg. Het was echt een middeleeuwse beleving. Geen luxe voorzieningen, maar alles in de traditionele sfeer.

Cons:

De weg er naar toe staat niet in Google maps geprogrammeerd. Een routebeschrijving ontbreekt op de site. De naam van de locatie is anders dan bij de booking. Nestia is nergens te vinden. Melika wel. Parkeren bij het carpork eronder kost je 10 euro en dan moet je nog een paar minuten lopen. Je kunt beter helemaal naar boven rijden en gratis parkeren.

Pros:

Leider haben wir die Unterkunft nicht mit Google Maps gefunden. Man muss durch die Fußgängerzone ganz rauf zur Burg fahren.
Ein toller Ausblick.
Es gibt viele Katzen. Das Zimmer war schön und das Frühstück gut

Top Lage- wir kommen wieder
Pros:

Das Zimmer ist neben einem wunderschönen Haus, in dem eine nette Familie auch ein Restaurant betreibt. Die Lage ist top, direkt oberhalb des Skanderbeg-Museum. Man kann mit dem Auto direkt vor dem Hotel parken. Das Zimmer hier bei booking ist etwas klein und spartanisch, das muss man wissen, aber der preis stimmt und man will seine Zeit ja nicht im Zimmer verbringen. In der Nähe ist auch ein ethnologisches Museum (100 m zu Fuß) und etwas versteckt ein Bektaschi-Tempel (200 m geschätzt). im Restaurant kann man sehr gut essen oder sich nebenan eine Pizza holen. Wirwaren hier einen Tag vor unserem Abflug in Tirana.

Cons:

alles ok

An amazing view and location make this accommodation a stand-out!
Pros:

This property is in an amazing location! The view is stunning. We stayed in a little cabin with an outside terrace area. The owner was friendly and shared his family’s history. Breakfasts were wonderful! We enjoyed several meals here, too—especially liked the soups. Meals were home-made to order.

Pros:

I really liked the simplicity combined with the historical surroundings. As a hiker I appreciated having a restaurant with good food right there where the rooms are. This is a family owned and opperated bed and breskfast. Very friendly people. And you cannot get a better view of and from the Kruja castle than from here... all the way to Tirana, and very amazing at night!

Great location not matched by accommodation
Pros:

Overnight stay at Rooms Nesti

It was great being in the castle area after the day trippers had left and early in the morning. A pretty unique experience.

Cons:

The last part of the road and the parking arrangements are a nightmare. Think twice about driving up!

We arrived at 2:45pm but our room wasn’t ready for more than an hour. And we couldn’t leave because we had to wait to move the car.

Room was basic. Also, someone had turned the water heater off so we had to have cold showers in the evening before going for dinner.

Everything felt like a bit of a struggle. We had to go looking for staff quite a few times (eg we weren’t given a key to the room).

Communication was very poor. Staff always seemed reluctant to speak to us.

The name - Rooms Nesti - is invisible. No signs. Not on any map. It seems to be part of Rooms Merlika - no idea why it has two different names.

Superb
Pros:

Such a beautiful spot!! Rooms have all you need but it’s real appeal is the outdoor area. A lot cooler up there as well with the breeze. The owner was really lovely and the breakfast was great!

Cons:

Definitely doable if you don’t have a car but be prepared for a walk. We got the bus from Tirana but the walk from the stop is a while and very steep up hill. Was definitely difficult with our suitcases. But 100% worth it!
