Tirana Ministry of Economy Hotels

"Interior of room laminate floor full length mirror, large tv. Great headboard up to ceiling with floral wall paper both sides with led lights above head side of bed, mocha curtains that did not go all the way to the sides and end so light can through in the morning and also light from phone. No cups although there is a kettle but no cups and no tea or coffee provided and only two bottle of water but not refilled the next day. Open plan wardrobe but very shallow Bathroom: smells of bad plumbing and daily had to open to windows to are. the shower was ok, the toiletries. all stuck to wall was basic. Fridge but doesn’t fit the fridge slow so was put under the table. View was of other buildings , Hot water at night wasn’t warm. Lack of gym, pool and breakfast not provided. The car park was full so best to inform them As soon as book ,5 euros a day. Iron available from concierge but no Ironing board! Cleaners make too much noise at 8.30am When talking at full voice All in all a clean modern hotel but lacks any facilities past the room. If you like a nice hotel with minimal other add on like parking, breakfast then this place works"

"Room was big and clean enough, hard to find as it’s hidden of a side street. It is not soundproof at all you can hear everything was very loud."

"Excellent location. Walk to everything."

"Reception is a small desk in the corner with one employee. Took over 30 minutes to check in. Then they gave me a twin bed room when I reserved a full. 10 more minutes at reception to get moved. Told that parking is beneath the building so I pulled into an unfinished parking garage. As I left the attendent said it was the wrong place. Then proceeded to charge me an hour parking when I was there two minutes. The correct garage was also unfinished and someone blocked me in after I found a place amongst the debri. No sign of an elevator or exit signs so we had to lug our luggage through the costruction site till we found a way out. Wall shaking jackhammer noise all afternoon. No oulets near the bed. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. Room lighting was impossible to figure out. Breakfast was no better. The scrambled eggs were indeible, looked like they made them last week. The coffee machine broke down three times while we were there. No real juice, only flavored sugar water. The rest of the buffet was no better. Came in in the afternoon and there were two secutity guards, both on their phones. No joke, I actually waved my hand in front of the face of the one sitting near the door, and he didn't even look up. The elevators are door key activated and my wife had the key, so I asked someone working in the lobby where the stairs were. They told me there were no stairs. I asked someone else who took me into the staff only area to a staircase. At my floor there was no handle on the door."

"Room was nice and clean, breakfast was nice. They let you choose if you want Albanian or sweet option. Very lovely staff. It's in amazing location although bells from church nearby do get quite loud early in the morning so light sleepers it might bother. Also they're just doing some road works which can start as early as 7:30am. Getting to the hotel after reception closes is very confusing. I wish they gave us little clearer instructions."

"Luxury room was very spacious with a king size bed plus a sofa bed for a 3rd person or 2 kids. Shower was good and separate toilet was an added convenience. Sockets and USB charging was plentiful. Kettle, coffee maker and small fridge were great. Location is a little out of town but no more than 20min walk into the city centre with many cafes and stores on the way. Taxi rank just on the corner and mall opposite. Breakfast was a let down, they serve from 7.30 to 11 but even at 8.30 many things had run out including tea bags! Good job i wasn’t paying extra or I would have been really annoyed."

"Superb location - close to many of the main tourist sites"

"Very convenient location, near city centre & sights. Good size rooms, decent breakfast & great rooftop bar for food & drinks."

"Amazing stay - room was very new/updated and spacious, staff very helpful, food delicious"
