Many guests praised the friendly and helpful staff, calling service 'amazing' and 'very pleasant'. The location is highly appreciated for its central position and proximity to restaurants and city attractions.

The fitness center is described as well equipped for a full body workout, exceeding usual hotel gym standards. Breakfast receives positive remarks for quality, with a good buffet and nice dining area. Multiple guests reported pervasive cigarette and cigar smoke odors in the lobby, hallways, and rooms, which affected their comfort. Some rooms are noted as dated with semi-broken fixtures and blue/greenish lighting making the atmosphere less comfortable. Spa and sauna services require additional fees (approximately 15 euros per person per day), which some guests found pricey. There have been issues with booking errors and double charging, leading to negative experiences for some travelers.

A bit pricey since spa cost extra even sauna they charge 15 euros per person per day.
The breakfast is great.
Rooms are a bit dated with many things semi broken, lights are blue/greenish , uncomfortable.
No coffee powder in room and only 3 bags of tea during 4 days stay.
06.01.2026 Paul
The property location is centrally situated. The rooms are a little on the small side. Biggest drawback was the pervasive and persistent cigarette smoke and cigar smoke smell, both exterior with the entrance/outside cafe area, the lobby, the bar, the elevator and hallways, and rooms. This singular smell issue will prevent us from choosing this location in the future.
01.12.2025 Oded
It is customary in Albania to smoke in every corner. In the hotel smoking from the lobby floor goes up to the rooms and it's just unbearable. It's hard to breathe. The clothes stinked, even in the room.

Amazing staff and service! Thank you so much for everything. Gréât location 🙏
22.10.2025 SEMIH
Our hotel reservation didn't go through because the hotel staff stated they didn't have such a reservation, and we didn't receive a refund, so we couldn't stay at the hotel. This is the first time something like this has happened to me, and it was a very bad experience. We were both victims of this situation. My friend, Metehan Mert Bey.
15.10.2025 Deborah
The room was clean and welcoming, and the bed was amazing! The mini bar is well stocked. There was a kettle, etc, for hot drinks, but only tea? There was a bit of a glitch when we went to book in; our rooms were not ready, and I felt that the receptionist wasn't very engaging. She told us it would be about 10 - 15 mins, 1 hour later, we were still waiting with no real apology. Although I will say that she apologised at checkout then.
13.10.2025 Maria
There was too much smoking in different parts of the hotel, including the reception area.
12.10.2025 Bettina
Great location - bad coffee and noise.
The breakfast was nice - except for the coffee. It was the worst coffe ever. The food that are supposed to be warm, could be more warm..
The smoke from the smoking in the bar and in the restaurant in the evening (owner??) was so heavy - we could smell it on the 4. floor. It is not okay, when we have a non-smoking room.
The location is really great for everything - but noisy from construktionwork right outside and the music from the restaurants, so remember earplugs. Our room was nice and very clean. The bar-area boring and to much smoke so we went elsewhere. Didn’ t use the “spa”. Only to people could sit or lay down - we were four. The staff is very helpfull and friendly.
11.10.2025 Martin
Very pleasant friendly staff. Very clean room. Close to shopping/restaurants etc. 2 nd time I've stayed here. Would definitely stay again
02.08.2025 Veena
The hotel has double charged me on a booking.com booking. And have stopped responding to the request to refund the double charge. I have sent many emails, just to be told they are looking into it. Message for hotel, I am giving you 3 days to clear the mess, I will remove the this review if sorted out. Please get in touch
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!

What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

Shady practices - I was charged for mini bar items that I did not have and staff basically said I was lying because they had a photo of a full mini bar from 3 days before I arrived. Definitely not the upscale style that I was expecting.
21.05.2021 Kelly
Where do I start? The service is what sets this hotel apart! Everyone is so helpful, there to see your every need is met. We needed to store bags for a couple hours-and they called us a cab to the airport. I needed to print something out for our travel and got it instantly.

The breakfast is insanely delicious. The food is cosmopolitan and very high quality. The oj is freshly squeezed. The cappuccino is simply divine. The server was on point, gracious and classy.

The rooms are so quiet-you’d never know you’re right in the middle of one of the most happening parts of Tirana with access to a ton of nice restaurants, including the hotel restaurant. The maid service is excellent.

Will be back! I was so impressed! From the moment you enter you will feel lucky and well cared for!
20.05.2021 Noam
Everything in the hotel was simply excellent.
The room was spacious and very elegant, the bed was super comfortable, and the shower was wow. We also had a balcony to the backyard which was really nice.
Everyone in the the hotel were lovely, the common spaces were luxurious and the breakfast which was a la cart was great.
Highly recommend!!
