Friendly staff and clean, tidy little hotel. Great location close to Skenderbeg Square with a nice looking restaurant next door and friendly open-all-hours locals cafe/bar across the road. ATMs and plenty of other eating places nearby too.
The tiny lift is quite amusing (just enough room for 2 thin backpackers with sacks !) but works fine.
Breakfast was the usual unexciting Albanian fare ... omelette and bread.
5th floor rooms have good views - and the front rooms on all floors have balconies.
