Guest Reviews
- vittorio (7/5): - Posizione e servizi. Struttura da rinnovare. Colazione essenziale.
- HABEB (10/5): - הכל
- özlem (5/5): Konum olarak çok başarılı ancak inşaat bitmeden gelmemek lazım. - Odalar geniş ve konforlu. Devam eden inşaatın gürültüsü çekilir gibi değil. Titreşimi içinizde hissediyorsunuz resmen. Personel de bezmiş sanırım; güleryüzlü birine rastlayamadık.
- Enes (10/5): -
- Caroline (3/5): - Only location. Bad reception experience, construction noise,since our last stay,breakfast deteriorated.
- Basel Mahamed (10/5): - الموقع ممتاز المرافق جميعها موجودة وشغالة حتى اوقات متأخرة يجب ان يكون هناك تدفئة بالبركة
- OdedMi (10/5): A wonderful stay in a perfect location; I absolutely love the city, the Albanian culture & people. - We had a great time! The room was very spacious, clean, and the housekeeping team was polite and provided excellent service.
The breakfast was varied and delicious, with very friendly and helpful waiters. The entire property, including the indoor and outdoor pools, was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Plus, the location is perfect for visiting the city center and the park.
My only complaint is that the construction and renovation noise made it difficult to sleep in late on some days. Aside from that, everything was perfect! The only issue was the noise from the ongoing renovations and construction. It was quite disruptive on the mornings when I wanted to sleep in late. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful.
- ZAHI (1/5): לא להתקרב - המלון בעבודות שיפוץ
יש קדיחות בקירות
רעש בלתי נסבל, ברחנו מהמלון אחרי שעה
החלונות בחדר רעדו מהקדיחות
וטרם קבלנו החזר כספי לא להתקרב
- René (6/5): Ok - Bien pero había obras empezando muy temprano Que las chicas de limpieza cada mañana ya tocan la puerta a las 0900 para limpiar , demasiado temprano, estuvimos de vacaciones
- Antoine (10/5): -
- Rebecca (7/5): Generally a nice stay but small changes could make it better. - Staff very attentive
Room very spacious after a complimentary upgrade
Outside Pool area very nice
Location good Breakfast very basic -not much choice.
Pillows very uncomfortable -lumpy or flat.
Coffee not refilled in room daily. Had to ask every day for more.
Rooms lighting very poor/dimly lit especially near wardrobe area.
No usb charging points
Work/renovation outside bedroom early in the morning - don’t upgrade room to one where work is going on outside.

- Agata (10/5): super, polecam bardzo, stosunek jakosci do ceny - rewelacja - śniadanie było typowo hotelowe, bez szaleństwa ale świeże i smaczne - jajka, sery, warzywa, owoce.
lokalizacja hotelu jest rewelacyjna, centrum, wszędzie blisko na piechotę. Ja musiałam dotrzeć na uczelnię i było blisko. Obsługa bardzo pomocna, czysto, położenie hotelu rewelacyjne, przy cudownym parku - raj dla biegaczy i sztucznym jeziorze, bardzo polecam więcej opcji na śniadanie

- Andrei (10/5): Felt like at home! - Everything was perfect! Amazing hotel,amazing staff and for sure amazing country!
- Gabriel (7/5): - Está muy bien ubicado, personal agradable, tiene gym y piscina. Fantástico desayuno/comedor. Gym antiguo, instalaciones a reformar y a las 6:30 no había agua caliente para ducharse. Lo comenté y al día siguiente lo mismo, decepcionado por el tipo de hotel que es y por la calidad que debería ofrecer. Además, se encontraba de reformas y eso afectaba a las vistas e instalaciones.
- Enes (9/5): -
- BOLI (9/5): bien - Parfois le bruit matinal des ouvriers. Le taxi qui devait m’emmener de l’aéroport à l’hôtel, qui était pris en charge par BOOKING n'est jamais manifesté.
Dommage !

- danielbE1806AK (6/5): Under construction - There is a lot of construction and noise. The parking deck is under construction and the attendant was not clear. It was poorly lit and after a three hour drive to Tirana it sent my partner who was driving into panic attack. We were upgraded and given breakfast in the morning by the staff who were wonderful. The room was clean and spacious. I would not rate it a 5 star hotel given the current state of the hotel.
- Daniel (4/5): Construction should have been warned - The rooms were beautiful and the staff was very accommodating There was a lot of construction, noise and parking was frightening. No access to bring bags directly from the garage and was dark and not safe
- zuta (4/5): Dåligt kommer aldrig sätta min fot där igen - De håller på att renovera hotellet och började jobba kl 08!! Frukosten var en av de sämsta jag ätit. Rekommenderar inte detta hotell för det priset detta är ett 3 stjärniga hotel Max

- Nikolaos (5/5): Excellent location. The hotel could be great as in the past, but today is miserable and poor. - The room is old-fashioned style decorated and equipped. Sheets and towels are old and worn out. Overall, it does not give you the sense of cleanliness, comfort and luxury. I did not like the breakfast at all - the room was dark and miserable, the buffet had basic food options, the coffee machines did not provide quality coffee, the juices were not fresh.
- n0ttingham123 (4/5): Not even close to 5 star - What can I say about this hotel? It is not terrible. It is not awful. But most importantly, it is not five star.
To me, five star means class, quality, and style. Sadly, this hotel had none of those. Yes, it is undergoing renovation, but that does not excuse the experience we had.
Our first room was dreadful. The hotel was practically empty, yet we were given a room with a broken window and a view that would be depressing in any city. We complained and were moved three doors down to a room with the exact same awful view, just without the broken window. Remember, the hotel was empty. After complaining again and being shown four more rooms on the same floor, they finally moved us to the third floor. That room was actually lovely.
Even in the better room, the windows looked like they had never been cleaned and were covered in what I hope was paint splatter.
Some of this may sound like nit-picking, but in a five-star hotel it matters: no remote control for the TV, no pillow for my son, very unreliable Wi-Fi, an old yellow-stained fridge, mismatched cups and saucers, and a horrible school-dinner-style tray. None of this feels five star.
The receptionist was incredibly rude. She told us she put us in the broken-window room “for the kid” and because it was quiet, even though there were only three guests in the entire hotel that night. When we asked to move, it was the bellboy, I think his name was Alex, who finally pushed to get us a better room.
Breakfast was awful. Burnt sausages and bacon, terrible coffee, poor juice. It was not even on par with a basic budget hotel, and this is meant to be five star.
The swimming pool area just felt tired. Not terrible, but clearly in need of care and attention.
Please do not stay here. I am sure there are much better hotels in Tirana, but this is not one of them.
- Katie (4/5): - It is central The hotel is surrounded by scaffolding and has a section knocked down, this was not made known at booking,
- Shkelqim (10/5): -
- Nexhat (10/5): -
- Aga (10/5): Loved it - It was traditional with a western twist, a lot of options in all aspects It was unfortunate that it was under construction and you couldn’t see it’s true beauty but overall I think it’s a great place to stay and in the center of everything….the pool was awesome 😎
- Apostolos (8/5): Καλή τοποθεσία θα έπρεπε να ήταν φθηνότερη η διανομή και να είχε περισσότερες επιλογές στο πρωινό. - Η τοποθεσία Δεν ήταν αρκετά καθαρά και η σχέση τιμής με τις παροχές
- Ricardo-Gonzalo (9/5): -
- Franco (5/5): Senza lode e senza infame .. da togliere almeno una stella - Comodità al centro La struttura non è da 5 stelle,
Avendo piscina nelle camere dovrebbe trovarsi accappatoio per poter utilizzare piscina
Colazione, non da 5 stelle
- YANN (8/5): Trés bien pour amille et enfants.Maro world -superbe. - Le buffet .Grande piscine et animation pour enfants.
Proximité de la plage. Personnel moyennement accueillant.
- Pernille (7/5): Fint hotel der er i gang med en stor renovering - Personalet i reception, morgenmadsrestaurant og ved fitness var søde og hjælpsomme. Værelserne havde en god størrelse. Poolen havde en rigtig god størrelse og var et stort hit i varmen! Fitness faciliteterne var rigtig gode. Hotellet er i gang med renovering/tilbygning, så der var meget larm fra morgenstunden og i løbet af hele dagen både på værelset og ved poolen. Værelserne er ret slidte med både møbler og tæpper. Når renoveringen er overstået skal det nok blive super flot!
Der var meget varmt i de dage vi var der, så vi lå meget ved poolen. Det var sjældent i løbet af dagen at tjenerne kom ud og tog imod bestillinger - det var der ikke meget 5-stjernet service ved!
- Brookly (10/5): Exceptionnel - La piscine, la chambre et le bar Tout était parfait
- KAJO (10/5): Vado sempre lì e mi trovo bene - Le camere e tutto il resto Niente
- Blerta (6/5): -
- Jason (10/5): Longer than expected because of the weather. It wasn't any problem. - Brilliant staff. Without exception the staff were friendly and hospitable.
- Meir (8/5): Good hotel with good staff - The location is excellent, hotel is very good but going under renovation so it bit not comfortable.
- Clemens (8/5): -
- Klajdi (10/5): -
- Michele (5/5): -
- Kroian (4/5): This was my second time and probably the last. Outdated and dirty. - Breakfast was mediocre, and their only egg option was hard boiled. Walls in the room were dirty. Fridge inside was stained and looked like red sauce spaghetti Tupperware. Room was dark and lighting didn’t help.
- Darren (8/5): -
- Traveler32333725743 (8/5): Mak Albania - Clean, cozy place with very kind staff.
Good location, close to important places.
The corridors look a bit old and the carpets need renewal.
- Florent (8/5): -
- Marcello (10/5): -
- Vjosa (2/5): Not worth my money - Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great Location I was very disappointed with our stay. The hotel is overpriced for what it offers. The interior looks old and run down, and the furniture is worn out. Our room was dirty, and the couches were visibly stained and very worn. The bedding was uncomfortable, which made it difficult to rest.
Overall, the experience did not reflect the price or the reputation of the hotel. I would not return unless major renovations and improvements are made.
- Shaun (8/5): -
- Monica (8/5): - Tutto Niente
- Mirko (10/5): -
- DebanA (8/5): You couldn’t be more centrally located! - This hotel used to be the Sheraton and it has seen better days, but the good news is that it is currently undergoing a renovation and this would elevate it to 2026. I hope that they will feature USB ports in their rooms because travellers are not going to have multiple adapters to fit into every socket however, their breakfast is outstandingly good and they have a rather impressive fitness centre. The elevators require key card access which adds to the security of the building and the housekeeping staff are particularly attentive with room maintenance and cleaning. Definitely one of my favourite hotels in Tirana.
- tim (9/5): Great hotel great location - Fantastic location for us going to the England game the rooms were very spacious and very well equipped all the staff very pleasant professional and helpful The blackout blinds have a slight gap
- Mark (7/5): Comfortable and convenient with friendly staff - Great central location. Very convenient for the stadium and local sights. The room was large and comfortable with good facilities and view. Staff very friendly and helpful. Arrived early and they gave me breakfast on the house. Nice warm indoor swimming pool (outdoor one was closed in November) and very well equipped gym. Good choice at breakfast. Tirana is an excellent location for a holiday. Was there for World Cup qualifiers and all the England fans seem to have fallen in love with Albania and the city. Such good value for money with excellent bars, restaurants, and a warm welcome. Nice to visit somewhere that, to us, feels unspoiled and ‘new’. It was also warm enough in mid-November to wear just shorts and T-shirts during the day. The common parts are tired and dated. However, the hotel is in the middle of extensive renovation and modernisation works (which didn’t disrupt my stay) and I’m pretty sure that, once complete, it will be transformed and provide a much better overall experience. Don’t let this put you off. The value price reflects the fact that it’s still a work in progress.
