Hotel 4-Star di Tirana County, Albania

Everything was really good! The room offered a wonderful view of the central square. The room itself was clean, and the staff were friendly and upbeat. Free parking was a nice bonus. The only downside was the very, very basic breakfast. I would have liked at least some hot fried eggs.

Central to restaurants and bars. Very close by to the town square. The only thing was during our stay, there was a blackout and whilst we were on the 6th floor we walked downstairs. However there were no emergency lighting in the stairwell and we had to use our mobile phone torch to guide us downstairs. WiFi took 24 hours to resume back to normal which was a little bit annoying when we required it for us to check-in our flights as we were going to depart soon. Other than that, we had a good time in Tirana.

A very lovely space with all essential amenities and easy accessibility to different tourist centres by foot. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall this hotel is fantastic. Location is good, room is spacious and comfortable, many ammenities and the staff is all lovely. Unfortunately whoever cleaned my room didn’t do it very well. There was a used hairtie on the armchair and garbage between the bed and window so I didnt want this person touching my things so left the do not disturb on. Also when I booked the room it said I would have a balcony but I didn’t. I asked about changing to a balcony room but was denied. Alda went above and beyond with her service helping me set up things outside the hotel. She is a gem.

There are a lot of minuses, let's start with the main ones. If you are a blonde, please wear a cap if you go to the pool. I have an ash blonde that I have been trying to achieve for many years, but after their pool my hair turned green. I don't know what they add to the pool! At the time of check-in, when paying in $ cash, they told me that we accept either local currency or €. I decided to pay by card, but the hotel took an extra $30, I didn't notice right away, but as soon as I noticed, I wrote to technical support. When technical support contacted the hotel, the hotel denied that they took an extra $30 from me. Despite the fact that I have a receipt for payment for $30 more and a bank statement. They denied that they took $30 from me, despite the fact that I have all the evidence. When I personally went to the reception to sort it out, they told me that it wasn't them who took $30, but they should have taken $30 because they were converting from dollars to euros from euros to their local currency and this conversion would cost $30. But supposedly the bank was billing me this amount, not the hotel itself, although the bill itself was billed on behalf of the hotel. I didn't like that at all. There were no slippers in the rooms, by the way, they didn't deny that they didn't have slippers. Very strange behavior from the staff. Their breakfasts only last 2 hours and cost €10, but for some reason the breakfast is extremely meager, it's easier to have breakfast for the same amount in a nearby cafe.

Location-wise was really inconvenient if you do not have a car. It is located on an extremely busy highway, and it is a trek along the roadside to get to the bus depot or the bus stop. It is a 5min walk from the bus depot that has airport shuttles, which would take you about 30-45 minutes either way. It takes around 40 minutes to get into the city from the bus stop. The breakfast really did not meet standards for a Mercure hotel; the variety was extremely limited, and the food didn't seem very fresh either. I wouldn't bother with paying the extra for breakfast. The room was clean and seemed new from the smell, and it was very decent. The gym was quite unhygienic. I had the room to myself, but there were used towels and cups everywhere, and the ventilation wasn't great.

hotel is great located at the center of Tiarana. Around the heart center of the city. Easy to go alone to the city park and Parlza. Everything is good service, the reception is very helpful and kindly. Have a great breakfast and coffee lounge. Reasonable price for the trip. Room is clean and everyday have helper clean the room. Bed is supper comfortable. Will come again.

I kid you not, albeit short, this was the best experience I’ve had at a hotel in a looooong time. Compliments to the staff above all!! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was very inviting, friendly and treated me like family. That and the fact that the room and the grounds were amazing is like the biggest plus. Their ethos of from farm to table is alive and well in all their food and drink (I LOOOVED the sourdough). If you read nothing else, all the amenities you’d ever need are available, luxurious and spacious rooms, amazing food and great courtyard, and hospitable and lovely staff, I can’t wait to come back to Albania just to experience this beautiful stay again!

A decent hotel on the edge of town. Clean modern room, helpful front desk, good breakfast. Shops and restaurants nearby. A 20 min walk into the centre. Nice spa in the basement with free use of steam room and sauna for guests.
