Pros:

Hotel byl čistý, personál milý

Cons:

Parkování je pro dvě auta za sebou takže jsme museli prosit lidi co zaparkovali před nás ať vyparkují, lokalita plná odpadků ale to je pro Albánii typické

Enkelt hotell med hjälpsam personal och bra läge.
Pros:

Mycket enkelt rum men det var funktionellt och personalen var hjälpsam.

Cons:

Det var mycket smalt att ta sig in på parkeringen och om mer än en bil i taget ska parkera så kommer inte den innersta ut.

Levné, vyvážený poměr kvality a ceny. Dobré na přespání, jako přestupní stanice na 1 max 2 noci.
Pros:

Za tu cenu dobré, ale jen po přistání v Tirana, jako přestupní stanice. Čistota a kvalita hrozná, ale milý personál a dobrá lokalita.

Cons:

Problémové parkování, pochybná čistota, hluk z ulice.

Staff disponibile, check in 24 ore, colazione con doppia scelta con prodotti di qualità, stanze molto piccole, lo scaric
Pros:

Possibilità di due scelte di colazione di prodotti di qualità, staff disponibile e check in 24 ore aperto

Cons:

Scarico della doccia non funzionava, bisognava fare la doccia in 5 minuti massimo se no si allagava la stanza e parcheggio ok ma scomodo perché c’erano una macchina dietro l’altra e diventava difficile utilizzare la macchina se la tua era ultima

Lovely staff, tasty breakfast but hotel facilities need improvement.
Pros:

Pros: Very friendly and flexible staff who provide welcoming service. Very tasty breakfast served in satisfying, okay-sized portions. Private and safe parking.

Cons:

Cons: The overall stay is severely hampered by poor room conditions, maintenance issues, and excessive noise throughout the night.
Poor overall room quality: Room is dark and poorly maintained. Uncomfortable bed: Old mattress where you can feel the springs.
Plumbing & bathroom issues: Broken sink tap, very low water pressure, shared/separate toilet setup, and toilet paper ran out.
AC problems: Air conditioning does not function properly - had to guest codes to make it work.
Poor light control: Flimsy curtains let in a lot of light early in the morning.
High noise levels (Interior): Noisy door handles and toilet door latches, plus sound from other guests walking to the shared toilet at night.
High noise levels (Exterior): Poor window seals allow significant street noise into the room.
Summary: Unless major updates are made to the soundproofing, plumbing, and mattresses, Hotel Central is difficult to recommend for anyone seeking a restful night's sleep, despite the lovely staff and great breakfast.

Pros:

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel solo una notte, ma l'esperienza è stata straordinaria grazie soprattutto alla gentilezza dei proprietari.
Purtroppo durante il soggiorno sono stata molto male con febbre, vomito: il personale si è dimostrato di un'empatia e di una disponibilità uniche. Capendo la situazione, ci hanno permesso di rimanere in camera ben oltre l'orario standard in attesa del nostro volo serale e ci hanno fornito tutte le indicazioni e l'aiuto necessario per trovare una farmacia nelle vicinanze.
Parlavano italiano molto bene e, anche quando c'era qualche piccola incomprensione, bastava una risata insieme per intendersi subito. Ci hanno persino portato la colazione in camera: io non ho potuto mangiarla per via del malessere, ma il mio fidanzato l'ha apprezzata tantissimo ed era davvero squisita!
La struttura non è un hotel di lusso, ma è pulita (bagno profumato) e ha assolutamente tutto ciò che serve per un soggiorno confortevole. Inoltre, la posizione è davvero ottima per girare Tirana.
Un grazie di cuore ai proprietari per come ci hanno accudito: un'ospitalità così genuina fa davvero la differenza. Consigliatissimo!

Cons:

Nulla

Porta di ingresso alla camera da rivedere. Doccia senza tenda o box ma in Albania mi pare abbastanza comune
