- Shaun (1/5): Terrible dirty room that is not fit for guests from a basic health and safety point of view - Nothing After a 30 minute check in process of walking to a different location to the property to get the keys and having to pay outside the booking app to get the actual location we found the room was full of flies because the window was left wide open probably to try lessen the smell from the bathroom , the shower was leaking all over the floor so you can even use the toilet without getting wet and there is nothing to hold up the shower head unlike what is shown in the photos of the room.
Mugs were not clean at all, and still had coffee in them, towels were dirty, fridge was filthy and had a spider inside, ants on the sink of the bathroom and the cistern of the toilet is falling off the wall. Because the room was in such a bad condition we had to spend our day finding a new accommodation last minute and of course had to pay more, of which the host did not care about or apologise for at all.

- Francesco (1/5): Ho dovuto prenotare un altro alloggio - La posizione 4 piani senza ascensore .
Viene mandato un video per raggiungere l appartamento, unico problema è’ il video è’ ad una velocità x4 quindi molto
Complicato individuare la strada.
Bagno piccolissimo(wc e doccia insieme)
Scarsa pulizia.

- Özenç Göktuğ (8/5): - Odada 2 gece konakladım klima ve odanın büyüklüğü yeterliydi. Sadece banyo ufaktı onun dışında bir sorun yok. Önce bir otele gidip ödeme yapıp odanın anahtarını alıyorsun. Oda otel ile aynı konumda değil 10dk yürüme mesafesinde merkeze çok uzak değil

- Guest (1/5): لن اكرر هذا الفندق لو انام بالشارع - الموقع قريبه من ساحة اسكندر طلبت شقه وعطوني غرفه مليانه حشرات صغيره جلست نصف ساعه ثم طلبت المغادره ورفضو ارجاع المال😕
وطلبت نصفه فقط ورفضو
ارجو من بوكينج انصافي في ذلك!
لايوجد ثلاجه والغرفه مرره صغيره لاتكفي لشخصين ولا يوجد كراسي فقط سرير والحمام ضيق والباب شفاف

It was just to sleep few hours before going to airport.The environment was not clean especially the bathroom , and there were no slippers to take a shower or to wear in the room. We had to go to the hotel to get slippers.

- Hit (10/5): Exceptional -
- Angelo (8/5): Very good - Location: in the city center
Room: good
Check in: easy
Staff: good, communication is good Location: the stairs are dark at night.
Toilet: no separate shower area. You have to shower together with the toilet bowl
- Samir (5/5): Passable - Location the receptionist asked for 35€ while the price in the booking was 32€, I didn't like this and the apartment is on the 5th floor without a lift
- Divekamil (8/5): You won't find anything better for that price - Very, very helpful host. Always available at WhatsApp. Great location.
- Ledio (8/5): Very good -
- Ervis (8/5): Very good -
- Michal (8/5): Even small issue worth to stay as the communication and room was lovely - The room was very clean and aircon was working perfectly, nice view, and the host/check in was extremaly helpful, very close to main square. The bathroom was slightly cramp, and mouldy but general it was clean.
No lift/elevator
- Harry (3/5): Disgusting - The location
The staff response time The stairs are downright dangerous broken steps and dark, Dont be fooled by the name 11 steps - theres 81 of them up to the 5th floor. once inside it gets worse there is a big comfy bed with a dirty mattress and it isn't screwd together right nails sticking out everywhere, the TV doesn't work, the curtains are hanging off the rails, there is a table, kettle, 2 cups of which one is cracked there's no spoon, coffee or tea there's a corkscrew but no glasses, there's a filthy fridge which rattles all night, it gets worse as you open the bathroom? broken door the wall and floor tiles are covered in mould and around the bottom of the toilet is like a mushroom field,the shower is something else a home made affair tied to the wall with a zip tie with hoses hanging from a tap in front of the toilet which attack you as use the toilet,in the corner sits a filthy bucket and mop.and the sink is choked, only 2 small bath towels for a week..
Overall this place is a health hazard and should be demolished
- Adnan (1/5): Avoid this place at any cost - The staff in the hotel that runs this place spoke good English. Everything else was pure catastrophy and a health hazard The mold in the bathroom on the AC under the windows. How dirty it was. The fact that there is no shower but the toilet and the shower are basically the same. That you have to take the stairs to the 5 floor because there is no elevator. How dirty and old the fridge was. The bed was also slowly falling apart. The tv doesn't work. The antenna cables are cut and the Netflix app doesn't work. All in all the worst place i have stayed ever. Thank you for making me not want to come back to Albania never again.
- Indigo (7/5): Nice room, great location, bad instructions - The room is in a great location just on the side of the main square. Air conditioning works well and bed is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is small but functional and plenty of soaps and toilet paper. Surprisingly mostly quiet inside the room too. I had a 2am flight so hotel reception organised a taxi waiting for me for €20. A little expensive but convenient at that time. Reception staff also very responsive on WhatsApp. I arrived at 2am and hotel taxi dropped me at reception who then informed me the apartment is not in the hotel but in fact down the street. The taxi had already left. Only 600m / 5mins walking but not ideal when I flew into this new country and had paid for the hotel taxi then had to walk the streets alone at 2:30am with all my luggage. They should have had the taxi stay while I got the keys. The directions to find the apartment were so vague I could not find it. I met the police in the streets who were kind enough to help me searching for the apartment. They too could not find it, following the instructions from the hotel. The police called the hotel reception to get further instructions and even with the instructions being provided live over the phone it was a struggle. There is no street number, building number, level or apartment number so it is a real guessing game. The building is absolutely derelict from the outside but much better inside. Front door knob has a large hole and you can see into the room. It’s on the 5th level so a heck of a lot of stairs.
- Niki (6/5): Pleasant -
- Isabela (6/5): Pleasant - The location ...ONLY the part that it was based in the square and walking around was easy. The building is really old, no lifts..
4th floor with 20 kgs of baggage was a bit stressing.
If it's for older.people I would recommend NOT to book this.
The key to the apartment is funny, it needs a good 1 min to get it right and open the door.
The bathroom is very cramped and not.so clean ..
The wash sink was clogged.
There were no basic tea/coffee there, I felt really sad and left some for them 😀
Overall, the apartment needs a good clean up and make over.
It's very small and cramped incase you have bags to store ..
Oh yes not to mention, you have to walk all over to get the key and walk back with the keys to a near by , but still another location.
- Nathan (7/5): Great value for money - Great value for the money. It was a fine apartment. Missed a hair dryer.
- B (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hugh (6/5): Pleasant - Very helpful and pleasant chap on desk showed us to the property at 3 am..would never have found it without his help..
The unit itself is housed in a very run down apartment block on the 5 th floor with no elevator so difficult to lug luggage up..the room itself was clean and adequate. Located close to centre making it very convenient.
- Leah (8/5): Comfortable and convenient stay - Wonderful location, owners responded quickly, shops are in the vicinity Great value for money , happy
- A (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect ;)
- Mustafa (7/5): Good - The location is perfect.you can walk everywhere.Room is also clean. Room is nice and clean but the apartment and room door are very old .And it needs renovation.
- Emory (8/5): Very good - If you are looking for a central place to sleep, so you can thrive through the City at all the time, this is the place to be!
Very Friendly staff!
- Marina (6/5): Pleasant - the location, supermarket just few steps away. the fridge was very loud, and the shower was basically just a pipe between the sink and the toilet. the apartment was at a superior floor without elevator, so bear this in mind.
- Olivia (7/5): Fine for one night but lacking facilities - Good location, comfortable bed No kitchen facilities, no tea bags like in the photos, the bathroom seemed a bit dirty, the smart thing didn’t work properly (incompatible with apps such as YouTube and Netflix)
- Jackfrompoland (10/5): Exceptional - Best place!
- Hristos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marie (9/5): Superb - The studio is new, clean, pretty and spacious. Bed comfortable and working WiFi. The location is perfect, in the centre of Tirana, near a supermarket. Host replies very quickly, so communication is fast and easy :) we really enjoyed it! As i read in the previous reviews, the bathroom isnt that great, because shower is next to a toilet (in the same room, there isnt a shower enclousure) so the water from shower is on the floor of the whole bathroom, but its an only problem and you can manage :)
- Klajvert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Perparim (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect!
- Nevena (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was very clean, the bed very comfortable with very soft bed sheets.
The staff was very friendly and the communication with the host was wonderful.
The location is in the heart of Tirana city centre. Around you can find everything you need, shops, restaurants, places to buy a sim card, medicines, jewelleries. Great location.
- Arbies (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. Staff we're really polite. Good value for the money at the moment. Could have some slippers.
Also the shower could improvise better.
- Oresti (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gjoka (4/5): Disappointing -
- Alvaro (9/5): Superb - A better location could not be asked for. Just a few steps from the very centre of the city, but well isolated from the hustle and bustle. I stayed in several places while in Tirana, wish I had known of this place earlier.
- Abja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marinela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Izabela (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, friendly and communicative host, apartment had everything I needed. The shower in the bathroom is not the best but hot water is running and is still good.
- Josephine (7/5): Bright Spacious modern apartment located in center of Albania, good value for money. Friendly host. - The property is located just off Skanderberg square in the centre of Albania. Keys collected from nearby hotel, The host provided clear instructions on how to locate the apartment , situated pretty close to hotel. The apartment is located behind street and is located on 5 the or 6th floor, no lifts in such properties so be ready to climb stairs, It is a bright spacious room with a large bed, and a small bathroom TV and wall units for clothes were useful, kettle and fridge too. also Air Con which is required due to heat, 30 mins walk to bus station , Airport bus is located very near to Skanderberg Square so a short walk from apartment. Water pressure in shower was not great. Noisy from Air Con boxes on the outside walls , some which came on at intervals right through the night. No light on the outside stairs going up to apartment so one must be careful.
- Brad (7/5): Central location comfy bed - The location is super central and the bed is veey big and comfy. We went to a hotel 3 minutes away to collect the keys and pay. They let us use their luggage storage the next day. The shower location is not ideal. There is a metal cord you need to climb over to use the toilet. The bathroom smelt very damp.
- Cassie (7/5): Good location, fair price. - It is a great location & clean & tidy. The main part of the apartment is modern & fresh.
The staff were good enough to meet me for payment & help me up the stairs.
There is a kettle & mugs, but no spoons. And they have provided an iron & a hair dryer, however there is no laundry facilities in the apartment or building.
Overall it was a comfortable stay. It is on the 5th floor without an elevator. Not great when you have a suitcase & it is 30 degrees outside.
The bathroom was a sad let down to the rest of the apartment. The shower chord is strung from one wall across to the other creating an obstacle every time you need to go toilet. And the tap / shower connection is right above the toilet seat & drips water continuously.
The towel rail kept falling apart & the mirror with shelf felt like it was going to fall off the wall if I put anything on it.
- Georgina (7/5): Good -
- Danielle (9/5): Superb -
- Mika (7/5): Good - The staff are lovely and quick to help Shower and toilet have quite little space
- Nino (5/5): Only for location purposes. - Location was good. Bathroom was very dirty. I have found bunch of hair in the toilet trap. Very noise neighbors, fighting and waking me up at 2:30 AM.
- Viktorija (9/5): Superb -
- Julia (7/5): Simple but great location - The location is very good. It was clean and had wifi. The tv was not working or the remote didnt have battery.
The bathroom is not nice looking and there is no real shower. The shower is in the roof like 50cm in front of the toilet. Maybe this is normal for albanian apartments thats not built for tourists? I didnt mind but my boyfriend complained alot.
- Krist (7/5): Good -
- Issa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joseph (4/5): Disappointing - - the apartment is close to everything, the location is very central
- the owner helped us to find the apartment - there was no toilet paper, we had to buy some for ourselves.
- the host offered to order a taxi for us, and we basically got scammed for 20€, which was shared between the driver and him.
- even though the location was nice, there was a constant noise during the night, that will keep you awake if you are a bad sleeper.
- the bathroom walls have mold on it, so the window needs to stay open 24/7, otherwise you will have a terrible smell in the room.
- Albi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kieron (10/5): Exceptional - Really good good location
- Benjamin (4/5): great location, great service from owners, less than average apartment - location is very good and close to major parts of Tirana. owners are also very attentive and reply very quickly. the lock of the door was not secured and had a hole, which you could see through. The air conditioning did not work.
- Clive (7/5): Eleven steps - Its very central, comfortable with hot shower, tv, iron, towels, cupboard, hair dryer and clothes hangers. Electricity and WiFi good, and air conditioning very good too. Very good value. Ideal for staying near Skanderbeg with lots of tasty street food and good bars nearby. If you enjoy a jog, I recommend a gentle run around the park and lake, best accessed by Mother Teresa square. Cool run through the trees. Just two points
1 Its up 5 flights of stairs with no lift so you need to be quire fit and mobile.
2 It's hard to know exactly where it is if you struggle with accessing wifi. However Florida was very helpful. The flat is up the stairs immediately to rhe right as you come out of the tunnel off the main road. Florida will give you the code for the keypad at the bottom of the stairs. There's often a car backed into the stairs. If all else fails, the girls in the adjacent nail parlour were really helpful!
- Camille (7/5): Good - Studio was fine for a 1 night stay Pricing did not match exchange rate when payed in local currency. No communication done prior.
We ended up paying more than 8% on announced price on Booking. The receptionist said it was common they use this rate in Albania, however they were the only ones we met that did that.
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Buzhala (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sindi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucia (8/5): Very good - I liked the staff, they were very helpful and I was supposed to check in at 3 but they letted me in very early at 12, was 7 minutes walking from the square centrum and the shops ate very near, was a big room, the decoration of the room was nice, the room was clean, bedsheets clean, the bed was comfortable and big! The building was very old and not looking nice at all, I prefer more modern buildings, the view was not nice, you could see old buildings, you couldn't really put things in the fridge and the fridge was not so clean... the tv didn't worked or maybe the remote didn't had batteries... in the bathroom was a very big bucket with a mop near the sink which didn't gave me a good feeling to shower or do things in the bathroom and the wc had some black at the foot of the wc.
- Jianhua (10/5): Exceptional - A great apartment with a good location, right across from the sculpture in Scampey Square,Go downstairs and take a narrow passage to the left, then turn left for 100 meters to reach the intercity bus stop ,If you want to go to Kruje ,you have to take a bus from here to Duras" South and North Albania Bus Terminal”,Then transfer to the destination city. The airport bus is also on this road, very close together.
- Florjan (10/5): Exceptional - Location, price, cleanness. It was a bit hard for us to find the key for our apartment, but the host was very friendly and helped us.
