Pros:

El personal muy amable; desayuno relativamente completo.

Cons:

Las habitaciones no tienen NADA que ver con lo que se muestra en fotos. Son más bien antiguas, relativamente refaccionadas. Pero los pisos eran de los años 60, posiblemente.

Location and price is one of its biggest assets.
Pros:

Its location and its veranda, for breakfast.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit outdated and smallish, could do with a bit of TLC.

Pros:

Stayed here during our Albania trip and honestly the location is hard to beat. Right in Blloku, surrounded by cafes, restaurants and everything you’d want in Tirana. The room was modern, clean and comfortable, especially for the price. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay.

A few small things could be improved, but overall it was a really solid experience and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in the centre of Tirana.

OTTIMO SOGGIORNO
Pros:

OTTIMO RAPPORTO QUALITA' PREZZO. POSIZIONE PERFETTA, NEL QUARTIERE PIU' VIVACE DI TIRANA E WALKING-DISTANCE DA TUTTI I PUNTI DI INTERESSE. STAFF DISPONIBILISSIMO (CI E' STATA PREPARATA COLAZIONE AL SACCO, DOVENDO LASCIARE LA STRUTTURA MOLTO PRESTO).
