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.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights during a business trip in Tirana near the end of May. The hotel seems to be in a good location as it is near enterprise and government buildings and right in the block district where bars and restaurants are located. It was comfortable for us to walk around everywhere and we only had to take a taxi once, except the transportation to and from the airport.

The rooms and the hotel were clean but I noticed a couple of bad parts in the room. Although, I didn't feel uncomfortable to sleep or stay.

The personnel were kind and willing to help you (most of them) and the facilities of the hotel can be judged satisfactory. The breakfast was not the best I ever had. I didn't find any coffee and the choices were not many.

I didn't use the pool, so I do not have an opinion on this.

The bottom line is that if I ever go again in Tirana, I will prefer this hotel to stay in.

Excellent choice for a business hotel, located right in the middle of Tirane.
Big and comfortable rooms, clean and quiet, with everything you might need at your disposal.
Wireless internet is included in rooms price.
Excellent breakfast in the morning also included in room price.

Grand Hotel Tirana is located in probably the best area in the capital of Albania, Tirana. It is near all the biggest organizations, institucions, goverment ect. If you have in the future bussiness trips in Tirana, i will recommend this hotel because is located like i said before. The hotel has nice rooms,service,foods and I have to said that the staff is very friendly(they are ready to help you in every aspect that you will ask to them). Best of all was the hospitality by the reception desk, they were friendly, also the check in was very fast one.
