1: Easy walking distance to everything of tourist interest in Tirana. Busy retail/nightlife on streets southwest of the hotel.
2. Twelve minutes walk to/from the Airport Shuttle stop (250 Leks fare)
3. Nice 4-star room, bathroom with elegant glass shower stall.
4. Building is mixed use -- hotel on lower floors, condos above, so the building is easy to spot as you approach, but there's no identifying sign until you get to the front door.
5. Good buffet breakfast included.
6. I had 2 excellent lunches in the top-floor restaurant. Superb desserts, beautifully presented. (The Korca-style meatballs were heavenly!) And hotel guests get 10% off of already-reasonable prices.
7. Gym was adequate.
8. Complimentary internet workstation available in the lobby.
9. Negative: every time you leave the room and take the key, the heat/aircon and lights shut off... and when you return, the lights come back on, but the heat does not. If you don't remember to switch it on again, in a while you'll find yourself getting uncomfortable.
10. Room has safe deposit box (make up your own combination). Negative: last user had left it unfunctional, and housekeeping didn't check, so I had to ask to have somebody come up and reset it.
