The rooms is aesthetically nice and different but the noise from the staff is awful
Pros:

the room looks cool and is like being inside a castle. the hotel is in a good location

Cons:

our room was directly beside reception and the staff sit there talking loudly borderline shouting to each other from 7am until 11pm blissfully unaware of the noise they produce and somehow without any of them realising their voices will obviously carry directly into the rooms beside them. Our room was also above a coffee bar which played music from 7am until all hours of the night. The staff are also quite unfriendly which may bother you and is very unlike anywhere else we stayed and we've found the service in Albania really to stand out everywhere else. The breakfast really fell short compared to everywhere previous

Maravilloso excepto la llegada y salida
Pros:

Todo era perfecto. Habitación, limpieza, personal, desayuno y ubicación

Cons:

Reza los 4 Santos para que subiendo o bajando la cuesta de piedras de un 25% de desnivel no te aparezca un coche de frente porque, si lo hace, acabas en el desguace. A esto, súmale la lluvia como fue mi caso, patinando sin moverme del sitio. Es el aparcamiento más horrible en el que he estado nunca.
