Hotels near Dajti Ekspres Cable Car, Tirana

Clean and good service.

We were two nights in Pandora and felt well. The beds are soft, we found them very good. The bathroom has a marble chic. The nice receptionist was very helpful. He described the nearest stop from which to reach the centre in 10 minutes (for €0.4). We picked up at the baker just next to Croissants and Berek, he gave us dishes and coffee. Very nice. We also let wash clothes, which was very priced and quickly done. The area around the hotel is a little poor but harmless. We would book there immediately.

Small hotel just 10 minutes' walk from the central Skanderberg Square. The rooms are spacious, very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. Since Tirana is densely built up, you can't expect a nice view here. The service team is very friendly and will accommodate all your requests. Only breakfast is offered here, but that's not a problem because there are various restaurants in the streets opposite. There is no breakfast buffet, but a menu from which you can choose between various dishes from savory to sweet, freshly prepared in the kitchen. This has the small disadvantage that you may have to wait a while for breakfast if the dining room is full. Unfortunately, one negative thing I have to say about the hotel in general is that the room doors are difficult to close, i.e. you have to slam them shut. This can be annoying in the evening/night when new guests arrive or perhaps come in late from the city. Important information: there is no elevator. Guests have to carry their luggage up the stairs themselves. Personally, it doesn't bother me, but I know that it is important for other guests.

This was my first visit to Albania and it was a great hotel and location to be based. It is about 5 minutes walk from the airport bus stop, very close to Skanderbeg Square. The entrance is on a quiet back street but easy to find following Google Maps. The room was spotlessly clean with a good modern bathroom and walk in rain shower. Good Wi-Fi and a clean comfortable bed. There was also a fridge, TV and kettle. I have paid so much more than this cost in other cities for much worse accommodation and the guy on reception was helpful too. The only thing missing was tea or coffee to go with the kettle - I didn’t need any so didn’t ask but it’s probably available. There is a ground floor cafe and plenty of eating and drinking options nearby. I hope to come again and would definitely stay here if I do.

Amazing little hotel, room was gorgeous, could have gone for a swim in the gigantic whirlpool bath. Staff were absolute class, so welcoming. Tirana is an amazing city too, food was beautiful, drinks are cheap, and the people are so friendly, without being pushy. The city is absolutely alive. 11/10. Just go, what are you waiting for?!

Overall, this hotel provided a satisfactory experience during my five-night stay over the Easter break. However, I believe it falls short of its advertised four-star rating and would more aptly be classified as a decent three-star hotel. While there are positive aspects to highlight, such as the spacious rooms and comfortable beds, several issues detracted from the overall experience. One significant issue was the inconsistency in room amenities and cleanliness. On the first night, the absence of functioning air conditioning in the room made it very uncomfortable to sleep. Despite of the weather reaching to 27C during the day. Staff members recommended not to open the windows, so you can imagine how hot the room was with no windows opened and no A/C. I’ve asked for a fan but they din’t have one. Luckily I was not the only guests complaining and the following day the A/C was on and I had a great night sleep. Subsequent nights saw lapses in basic housekeeping, with missing toiletries and unattended cleanliness issues. Although these problems were reported to the reception, they persisted throughout the stay. (ie missing toilet paper one night, another night no soaps or hand towels, etc) Regarding the bathroom, while it boasted ample space and cleanliness, the design of the wet room-style shower led to water splattering outside the designated area, posing safety hazards and necessitating additional towel usage, contradicting the hotel's eco-friendly claims. Breakfast offered a decent variety, but temperature issues detracted from the dining experience( it was either very hot or too cold). Malfunctioning equipment, such as the toaster (not working properly) and buffet heating trays (not being used - hence no hot food), required constant assistance from staff, indicating a lack of maintenance and organisation. One notable observation was the absence of a managerial presence, which contributed to a sense of improvisation and hindered efficient problem-solving. Despite positive interactions with the friendly and accommodating staff, the overall experience did not align with the hotel's purported four-star standard. Consequently, I would classify it as a competent three-star establishment, failing to meet the expectations set by its previous reviews.

The room was very comfortable Good environment Enthusiastic cleaning service

We stayed here for 3 nights, and must say that although the accommodation feels more like a 3-star level hotel, the extra effort made by the staff to accommodate us must be regarded. The hotel Manager (we believe he was) picked us up from the airport and despite the language barrier, made us feel welcome to Albania and to the hotel (It was our first time in the country). We were a party of three and booked the Superior Suite, which was spacious and clean; the Jacuzzi tub was a pleasant feature. Breakfast was average, location is not quite in the touristy part of the city, but still not far from the main attractions. Some great restaurants are within 5 minutes of walking ( we went to Spaghetti House, Oslo Bar and Pasta e Basta). The staff at the hotel (day and night were super helpful and some spoke English) and again the manager /driver was simply the best for taking us to a market and also to our next hotel in Durres, for way less than it would normally cost us. There is nothing bad that we could say about Albanopolis other than the fact that it is fifteen minutes walk to Skanderbeg Square and BunkArt 2, but 5 minutes in a taxi and you are at these two locations.

Location: About 20 minutes walk from the city centre or Skanderbeg Square. A supermarket is located in the cellar of a modern shopping centre (on the big crossing) about 5 minutes. The bus station is only 2 minutes. The hotel is located about 50 meters from the street. Welcome: extremely positive. I was already at 7 a.m. at the hotel (by the bus from Athens) and since a room was available, I was allowed to check in so early without any extra cost. So the young man at the reception as well as the manager spoke excellent English. In the night, you met in the lobby for a little stick. Rooms: extremely large room, with a furniture excellent for Albanian relations. All looks like a little ”oldbacken”, but it is not – in any case. TV and refrigerator available. Please do not compare with the Marriott Standard. Breakfast: Absolutely super, hot food, bread, sauce, bakery and fruits – nothing missed. You must be aware that it is a small hotel that cannot endlessly look a lot. The room becomes very festive on me. Concise: The hotel convinced me. Although it is not the Four Seasons, the price is fair for it. I felt very well there, almost like with family connection.

From the moment of the welcome till the last momment it was great. Services, food bell boys. A very good expirience for my 34 pax group. It is not so easy to make a israely group happy but hotel te stela have done it, big time.
