Chateau Fasel

Beautiful place and amazing people. Thank you for everything

We had an amazing stay at Chateau Fasel. It’s so peaceful and serene, tucked away in the hills just outside central Tirana. The staff really make the experience special. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Ola at reception, who was amazing throughout our stay, but also every other member of staff we met (sorry we didn’t get everyone’s names!). They hosted a movie night while we were there, which was such a lovely touch and honestly one of the highlights of our stay. The food at the restaurant was also really good. We booked a balcony room and had the most beautiful view overlooking the pool and mountains. Such a relaxing and special place to stay. Can’t recommend Chateau Fasel enough and would definitely stay again!

The only small downside was that the bathroom didn’t have an extractor fan, so humidity and bathroom smells could sometimes linger and carry into the bedroom. An extractor fan would definitely improve the comfort.

The places was absolutely beautiful and the movie night was magical.

The loud techno music playing all afternoon on both Thursday and Friday felt completely out of character for this peaceful place; while I understand guests paid for the pool party, we paid for our entire stay and it felt unfair that we couldn't get a break from the noise two days in a row, so I would highly suggest limiting the pool party to just once a week.

The place is a nice getaway for 2-3 days. The pool and sunsets are great, and you will have great Insta photos. Some of the stuff is good, but language is a bit of a problem. They have their own programs which you can attend like music nights or movie nights but you have to reserve cos guests of the hotel don't have priority. The room had a nice view, but...it was next to the rooftop bar so no quiet night before midnight, 1 am.

The price is too much for the experience. You pay the room and lunch/dinner is a la carte, but pricey and the quality depends of who is the chef for the day. It's slow service, and breakfast is a win or a miss. Coffee and juice and water is not included in your breakfast. So, we paid about 300€/day and than on a movie night they said we don't have a reservation. The balcony rooms are right above the pool, the view is great but if there is a bday celebration or a wedding or a party forget about having an early sleep night. For outdoor sitting you can have a great view and enjoy it but there are so many bees and flies over your food (breakfast specially) that you have to go inside. Same on the balcony, too many bees. Housekeeping is very slow, only 2 people work, and they clean the room from 11-12. In the room you do have a coffee machine but no coffee cups or tea mugs. Toothbrush you don't have where to place it but on a sink or bring your own travel glass. Like I said, it's a nice getaway but it's no value for the money. The best thing is that you will have great Insta photos for sure. We found a way to enjoy it, and in a few tears it will be an even better place, but they need to work on service for guests that are staying there.
