Pros:

Het is een modern hotel met mooie inrichting. De eigenaar was erg behulpzaam en heeft een ontbijt voor ons gemaakt die we mee konden nemen omdat we de volgende dag om 6:30 uur weg moesten. Ook was hij snel bereikbaar voor andere vragen. De auto is dichtbij te parkeren (betaald).

Cons:

De hygiëne van de kamer had beter gekund (maar over het algemeen was het schoon) en de bedden waren nogal hard. De eigenaar was niet altijd fysiek aanwezig maar was wel bereikbaar per telefoon.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and the location is great, close to the city center.
The rooms are cute and comfortable, and the breakfast was decent.

Cons:

There’s no parking at the property! They directed us to a nearby parking lot and told us it would cost €5, but in the end we were charged €20 — so keep that in mind if you have a car.
The shower didn’t drain properly and the floor was full of water.
The room was quite cold and there weren’t enough blankets.

Repetirem!
Pros:

L’allotjament està molt ben situat en un carrer tranquil a 100m del carrer Idromeno (el centre)
L’habitació era àmplia, lluminosa i tenia una terrassa. L’hotel és molt nou i l’accès és a peu pla (no cal ascensor, les habitacions son en planta baixa)
L’aparcament és o bé enfront de l’hotel (aparcament gratuit) o bé, si no hi ha lloc, enfront mateix hi ha un aparcament per 4€/24h. El noi de la recepció va ser molt amable i ens va oferir per aparcar-nos dues vegades el cotxe.
L’esmorzar és genial: productes sans, frescos, varietat i casolà.
Tot el personal és molt molt atent. Penso que el millor que puc explicar és que en el nostre viatge per Albània-Montenegro ens havíem deixat els dos darrers dies sense destí definitiu i vam repetir aquest hotel a Shkoder perquè ens va encantar i tenia una molt bona relació qualitat-preu

Cons:

Res. Tot va ser genial.

We had a very pleasant stay at this new facility. Staff was responsive and friendly.
Pros:

The location was great, only a few minutes walk to the city centre. I liked that during late hours, we could enter the hotel via our room card (digital key). That was very convenient.

Cons:

Not what expected.
Pros:

The location was great, just a few steps away from the centre. We were for a Conference at the University and it just 5 minutes walk.
The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The first impression we had when we entered the room was the bad smell. We arrived at 4 pm and the room was not ready yet.
We asked politely about the bed smell and the staff told us that it came because the room had been closed. We tried to leave the balcony door opened for some fresh air, but still the smell didn’t go.
We understood later on that the smell came from the toilet. Every single time we had to open the toilet door, all the bad smell came more inside the room.
Apart this, the toilet was too cold, with no heating at all and too big.
The parking was near the hotel, but you have to pay extra money for that, as it was private.
