Welcome we received from the staff. Beautifully designed modern interior. Excellent food at the restaurant. We felt pampered and well taken care of.

Staff attitude, cleanliness, kindness, location and value for money.

Big and comfortable room, welcoming staff, good location.

Some loud music from a nearby club, but bearable.

So I was on a Gate 1 tour that ended in Tirana; this hotel was the assigned hotel for Tirana for the last 2 days of the tour. I extended my stay one extra day to allow me to take a more reasonable air flight out of Tirana. I asked the hotel via Booking to keep me in the same room for my self-booked night 3 as I had for the first two Gate 1 nights, which they did gladly via Booking's messaging service. The staff was friendly and could communicate well in English. The included breakfast was more than adequate, although not as grand as several other 5-star hotels I stayed at on the tour portion of my trip. They had a mix of cooked items as well as fruits, cereals and breads. My room on the second floor was right across from the elevator, so very convenient from that aspect. DOn't worry, the elevator was not noisy. The stairs are very walkable for the average person. Note that the area surrounding this hotel I found to safe. I was able to walk about 900m to the Luna airport shuttle on Rruga Ludovik Shllaku across from the Friendship Monument. 4 euros to or from the airport.

My room on the second floor was just above a patio area where people would go out to smoke; therefore, one could not open the windows when that was going on (I am an avid NON-smoker, and don't like being around any smoking areas including those in restaurants and bars). But this was not a huge problem as I am one who spends little time in the room except at night.

The reception desk absolutely ROCKS! The three people looking after the reception desk are true ambassadors for the hotel!

Leaving! :-)

The location is unbeatable, the staff are welcoming and polite, the breakfast was very good with fantastic coffee and several homemade sweet specialties in addition to the expected usuals. My original room didn't have a balcony and so I requested a change and they changed quickly at no additional cost. The value for the location, comfort, and amenities was fantastic.

I wouldn't change a thing. It was a perfect boutique hotel!

Not exactly a "boutique" hotel, but it is functional and clean.
