Hotel Restaurant Dreri

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!

Lovely, peaceful hotel in a forest full of birdsong, but only 400m from the edge of the CBD. Our room was attractive, comfortable and quiet with a leafy view through the trees. We dined at the tables outside; an excellent barbecue. Breakfast was a small buffet that had everything we wanted plus some Albanian delicacies. The staff were friendly and efficient and allowed us to check in an hour early.

Google Maps doesn't show the route from the south into the hotel accurately.
