Great room in a great location
Pros:

Great room, it had everything we needed, including aircon and hairdryer. Really nice location, close to everything you want to see in Tiranë, and then breakfast was delicious. Great price

Cons:

The door to our room had a difficult lock meaning we couldn’t lock the room at night from the inside. Other than that was great.

Super clean, friendly and well located
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated with plenty of storage space and good TV channels. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We were given self check in instructions in case we arrived late. There's a lovely terrace where breakfast is served. Each morning we had coffee, juice, croissants, fresh bread, butter and jam, cheese, salad and another item which was different each day. One day we had avocado toast, the next day we had French toast. The hotel has cold drinking water on tap so you can refill the bottle they leave you.

Pros:

Le déjeuner était excellent et le personnel gentil.

Cons:

Malheureusement, la propreté de la salle de bain laissait à désirer. Les toilettes n’étaient pas propres, le robinet semblait mal installé et nous avons également constaté la présence de moisissure au plafond.

Ottimo hotel
Pros:

Pensavo che la colazione fosse a buffet, invece mi sbagliavo. Peccato su questo ma del resto ottimo servizio.

Cons:

La colazione e la pulizia delle camere, la garantirei ogni giorno e non ogni 3 giorni.
