The room was okay and everything but they wouldnt let us use the AC. I turned it on at night cuz my kids sleep better when its cooler, and they came up the stairs and shut the power off to our room. We needed our phones charged for the next day as we had big plans the next morning and we woke up to them dead. Also, on top of no power and AC or wifi, they yelled at us for leaving 2 shopping bags of garbage. Saying she just rents the rooms, shes not a maid. I was unaware that there was public dumpsters on the streets- I thought they were business owned like in the states where if you put trash in it you get fined. She also got mad that I stripped the beds before we left and I think was saying she had someone coming in an hour and now she will have to make them wait. So the whole experience was of that of staying at someones house when they dont want you there. Also I paid a $10 deposit and they didnt return it.

Location was spot on—5 minutes walk from Toptani Shopping Centre, right by a really fancy kenefa place, next to the big masjid, and surrounded by everything and all types of shops someone might need.
Staff was really nice and helpful; they provided us with recommendations when we asked and even gave us a charger since we didn't have a European plug.
The room was really nice and comfy, with ACs and heating within them—definitely worth £39 and we'll be visiting again!
Hôtel familial très propre et accueillant arrivé tardivement a 3h00 du matin aucun problème pour l'accueil, juste un peu loin du centre ville de Tirana 30 min en voiture, je recommande fortement.
Upon checking in, we were told that our room was in ”another building”, which is 200m away & it did not have a lift to reach a room 3 floors up - a big challenge for us senior travellers with bad legs, possibly weak hearts and big suitcases. We also have to walk back to the ”main building” for our breakfasts!
After some hard negotiation - we stood our ground - they finally relented & gave us the room we signed up for.
Even so, the room itself is below expectation. This is an oldish hotel with the basic amenities, with minimum lighting, no table lights, no reading lights.
Lovely hotel clean room and warm welcome. Easily accessible as the bus from tirana stops right outside. Lovely breakfast only downside was breakfast didn't start until 8am so we were unable to eat before leaving for the airport
Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Der Rezeptionist hat uns ein Restaurant gezeigt als wir spät ankamen und noch Hunger hatten und uns ein günstiges Taxi zum Flughafen bestellt.
Zimmer war in neuwertigem Zustand und alles war sauber sogar mit Shampoo/Duschgel.
Einziges Manko war die Lage direkt am Kreisverkehr, sodass wir ab 7Uhr morgens wach waren durch das ständige Hupen der Autofahrer.
Wir würden das Hotel weiterempfehlen.
I had an excellent stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, and the room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. One thing I really appreciated was the small fridge in the room stocked with drinks—you can simply enjoy what you like and pay for it at checkout, which was super convenient.
The rooftop was definitely a highlight. It offers a stunning overlooking view that’s perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or enjoying the scenery day or night. Downstairs, there’s also a great bar where you can chill, unwind, and grab a drink without even leaving the hotel.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for great service, comfort, and amazing view. I’ll definitely be coming back and with friends next time!
