Hotel Restaurant Dreri

Beautiful location in the Tirana Lake Park, but still walkable into town and Sanderbeg square. Delicious breakfast spread!! Wonderful tables outdoors or indoors. Very attentive staff, always willing to help. Excellent restaurant with gorgeous terrace, soothing relaxing atmosphere. Helpful English speaking staff. Room and bed was comfortable, bathroom was totally new and sparkling. Wonderful peaceful trails for walking around in the park and to the lake. Amazing forest with a huge variety of trees and various cafes in the forest park. This place is a real gem!

In the future I would ask for one of the rooms with a nicer view out the window. There were gorgeous ones, I just didn't happen to get one with a view.

We loved the location in the Tirana Park. It was quiet, peaceful, and filled with wonderful bird songs. There were many places to sit in the shade and just enjoy the surrounding forest. Although the Hotel Restaurant was only open in the evenings, there was a wonderful restaurant, the Te Tiku, just 5 minutes down the road, and many more restaurants about 15 minutes away.

We weren't aware that the Restaurant in the hotel was not open all day. After two long flights, we were hungry and tired, and frustrated that we couldn't have anything to eat at the hotel. It took a bit of muddling and language difficulty to determine that we could eat just down the road. Of note to other travellers: no fault of the Hotel, but our taxi driver had great difficulty finding the entrance!

It was lovely to be located within the city park, chose to amenities but far enough away to avoid the sounds of traffic and sirens. The hotel room was lovely, bed extremely comfortable, bathroom and shower were great and we enjoyed our little balconies. The staff were very kind and helpful.

The furniture in the bedroom was a little bit shabby but comfortable nonetheless. There were no tea / coffee facilities in the bedroom which would have been a great addition (as per most hotels). For those with mobility issues - there is no lift- it was wore an effort to carry our big suitcase down 2 fights of stairs on departure. The hotel is missing a trick with breakfast - the choices were limited, we would have been happy with plain (but fresh) yoghurt and fruit. The “hot food” was lukewarm and seemed to have been sitting a while. There was no fresh fruit juice - just cartoned juice full of added sugar. The bits of salad available were lovely though. Not sure if anyone else has breakfast as we were the only guests ever in the breakfast room.

This hotel was a fantastic find in Tirana. It’s very close to everything, clean, and has a stunning natural setting. The room views were magnificent. The staff were extremely polite throughout our short visit. We didn't stay long enough to fully enjoy it, but we highly recommend it!
