All staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms could do with a little updating. The T.V. did not work as it had not been connected properly. Air conditioning worked only one night of my 3 night stay even though I requested at reception for it to be looked 3 times.

If you're into casino-level accommodations and enjoy the smell of constant cigarette smoke, cafeteria-level food, and cheaply built rooms--then this is your place! PLEASE, do yourself a favor and pay a little bit more and get FAR more. Far more comfort, amenities, service, cleanliness and security. This hotel is dirty and unkept and run by a bunch of teens who know and care very little about service. NO water in room, no coffee/tea in room, TV and phone both broken, and breakfast was tang juice and processed cheese and sausages. It was so unbearable, I checked out a day early with no refund!

troppi particolari da cattiva manutenzione. Nel corridoio aperture nel muro non finite. In camera la vasca perde acqua, la doccia perde, l'asse del bagno è più piccola del water, il riscaldamento fa un rumore come il vento in montagna e non cè un cavatappi per la birra o il vino.

VH Eurostar .. This review could save your life!
Everything people have said about the scams (i regrettably chose to ignore) is true But there is much worse which i will come too in a moment. My hotels.com invoice shows i paid £209.30 with £14.89 to pay at the hotel desk. I assumed that this would be some local tourist tax. The attempted check in was rude and unfriendly with my being sent away to wait while they were "processing things". I was then told i had to pay an additional 50 euro per night later reduced to 25 euro as i was solo. I obviously objected to this. I was kept waiting and eventually summoned to the Manager office (man wearing braces / trouser suspenders) . He was rude and arrogant , the situation was i either paid or would have to leave. He was intimidating and i also saw him screaming at one of the staff. Since i didn't want to be on the streets, i paid the Euro 175 under protest. The hotel at this time was mainly filled with young people for a sporting tournement. During my stay i discovered that every single fire escape was locked shut with a key on each floor of this 8 storey building. I reported this to the reception. The response, to ask why i wanted to use the fire exit and basically mock me. Clearly under the local regulations the escapes are meant to be there. The signs are illuminated - but like everything else in this terrible hotel, they do not care about people. Frequently there was an argument at the front desk. I have a complaint with hotels.com and am waiting for a response.

Avoid at all costs!!! Disgraceful.
Absolutely disgraceful. Was charged an extra £269 at check in for a service fee we knew nothing about. We’d already paid hotels.com in full and was expecting to pay £6.49 in taxes on arrival, not £269 for just three days stay. Food was disgusting. Half board and had no choice. Was told just chicken tonight and we wouldn’t have fed it our dogs.

NEVER stay at this property, NEVER
The room was nice enough, but the overall stay was horrible. I expect more from what the hotel calls a 4*. I was told that I had to pay an additional Euros 8 per person when we checked in. So, Euros 16 for two people. It was almost the same amount as a room. They said it was a charge for all 4/5* hotels in Tirana which is a lie. If you Google hotel taxes in Tirana, it states they are 350 lek a night which is Euros 3.15. I asked to see the manager several times. I was told he wasn't around, didn't now when he would be back, didn't know if he was on the property, wouldn't call him. When I did finally catch up with him, he placed the blame on Hotels.com for not changing the pricing on the site. When I contacted Hotels.com, I was told that was the responsibility of the hotel and I was told to talk to the hotel. The problem is that Hotels.com is a 3 party so it doesn't have direct contact with the hotel. A couple of hotels I used on this recent trip said they don't use Hotels.com for this reason. The hotel also wanted us to pay Euros 6 for the use of the TV. The manager said he would write a letter so that I could see about claiming the Euros 8 per person, per night back from Hotels.com. I was lied to during my entire stay. The hotel's attitude is to string the customer along until they leave. The stay left a bad taste in my mouth for the hotel and Tirana which is a shame. Never, Never stay in this hotel. It's not worth the frustration and the stress.

Expensive hidden extras
Do not book this place on Hotels.com!!! The description of the place and what is included is misleading and there are hidden extras. Despite we had paid for the room in advance, we were forced to pay 75 Euro per day to the hotel for as a "service fee". Description told pool and spa facilities included - it is not and you must pay extra for using it. Breakfast buffet was half empty and quite messy. AC was not working in the room.

For a European style hotel instead of taking a deposit on your credit card they make you leave your passport or a credit! Very unsafe! They also had know where on the website telling you that you have a 8 euro person city tax! The tax on hotel.com showed 2 dollars total!

The experience overall was good , the only downside , is that they charge on site a very high city tax which doesn’t compare to what’s listed when you pay on Expedia . May not be , but feels as a scam ! Other than that , well located and safe surroundings!

Bad hotel deserves 2 stars
At the reception they forced us to pay extra money that mentioned while I did the reservation online with my Credit card telling us that there is no direct contact between your site and their hotel so I paid 18 euros. The swimming pool has no free entry we must pay 8 euros unlike what was mentioned in the site. I had to change the room twice because of room AC heater not working. Very bad experience

The receptionist asked to pay an additional tax (65) euros, which is higher than the price of the room rent... He practiced fraud

After booking and paying on Expedia for the room I showed up at the hotel around 9:00 pm checked in and the attendant said that they needed a $100 deposit so I agreed to it as long as she gave me a receipt, then she came out and said that I need to pay a extra $16 for a city tax so I asked her to show me where in the itinerary at Expedia does it say that I needed to pay city taxes and how much she said that I didn’t book it on Booking but I booked it on Expedia and In order for me to get the room I had to pay the city taxes so don’t be surprised that when you show up there they hit you up with surprise fees I would suggest to have some cash in hand otherwise you’re not going to get the room

A nice hotel. The room was clean and the hotel as a whole was well-presented.
