“Conference Location Recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

I recently organized 3 training sessions at this hotel for 20 participants.

The room is as good as any others and the hotel equipment is modern and adequate for group training.

The great success with this hotel is the flexibility of the Hotel Manager and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. This place really will bend over backwards to make sure they cater to your needs.

The buffet breakfast is nice and plentiful, usual Balkans mixture of hot breakfast, cold cuts and cornflakes. The Buffet lunch we requested as part of the conference deal was very nice, a good mixture of hot food , soups and salad. we had a relatively large group and no complaints with reference the food.

The accommodation is comfortable, clean and tasteful. The Rooms are not 5 star , but the price per night is value for money and the location of the hotel in the 'block' area makes it one of the best positioned in Tirana.

Overall a good experience, the willingness of the staff is a revelation for Tirana in comparison to the Sheridan and Rogner attitude problems.

I hope they keep up the good work with the renovations and modernization of the gym and spa.

Room Tip: Rooms to the rear can be noisy during the day , the best option is to stay above 1st floor and on th...

“low value for money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

I was first put in a room looking the back of the hotel: the floor had some strange heating from below (not coming from the hotel, I was said at reception) so it was very hot, and I had to turn on air conditioning (I hate sleeping with air conditioning) in October! the window, also, was looking at a gas station with car cleaning, very noisy at morning 'till evening. I was finally changed the room, but I must say that furniture in both rooms was very poor, old and cheap, bathroom with old shower, dirty carpet on the floor. Breakfast was horrible (I had to ask twice to stff for orange juice as it was finished, and they were talking without caring the customers). The positive point was free wi-fi internet at good speed.
I really do not recommend this hotel.

“not bad, not grand either”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

liked
location, many bars etc nearby ,
free reliable decent speed internet 24hrs,
clean rooms,
the thing i appreciated most was very friendly helpful staff (helped arrange me to be picked up from montenegro by taxi which i could not otherwise have arranged) amongst other things

dislikes
contrary to what they say on internet there is no fitness centre, don't waste time carrying your sports gear there which i did,
same goes for swimming pool, it s basically a small pond in a garage like building next door to hotel,
due to it being surrounded by bars etc it can be very noisy in rooms both in front and at the back of hotel so dont bank on a nights sleep
work space in room is a 50cm by 50cm table and in room lighting is poor so it cant really claim to be a business hotel you wont be able to work in the room in evenings

overall was left with a positive impression of the place (in the unlikely event i went to tirana for pleasure or a stag do or something i would use) it just that its not really fit for a business hotel

“Fine for Tirana”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Four star, well...by Albanian standards: and Grand is pushing it a bit but a nice little (31 rooms) and very central hotel, in the Biloku area once reserved for Hoxha and his cronies. Friendly staff, scores of bars and cafes in the neighbourhood. Rooms decent size, clean, multichannel TV with many foreign channels, minibar, WiFi. Showers not tubs.Breakfast (squeeze your own oranges) would be fine if they could use hot, rather than tepid, water for tea. Hot water in rooms a bit hit and miss. Single lift can make for long waits. Not especially cheap, though.
