Pros:
Large rooms
Large bathrooms and showers
Clean
Centrally located: can walk to most major areas
Friendly staff
Cons:
Smoke smoke and smoke. Had to wait mid day for a ride to the airport when guests were out for the day. It was staff members smoking.
Pervasive smoking left the bar and lounge areas unusable for the most part
Some rooms have a rather gaudy decorative style
Rooms are on the dark side, could use more lighting.
Housekeeping is random and unreliable. They may service your room, they may not

Kind of hit and miss

If you are a smoker then the rating for this hotel would be a 4 or maybe even a 5. However as a non-smoker entering the hotel is horrible. To get into the hotel you must enter through the hotel's popular smokey bar/cafe. The cigarette smoke is thick there and the next room you must pass through to reach reception. It even infiltrates into the reception area and even up on the second floor it could often be detected.
Otherwise the room and the breakfast are fine and the employees provide good service. The WiFi was also okay.
Our TV had the BBC, CNN, National Geographic, etc. However some other people said they were not available in their rooms and that the only English language station they could get was Al Jazeera. 
Note- there is no safe in the room.

Avoid this hotel if you don't smoke

Didn't know what to expect for our first hotel ever in Albania but must say that we were very satisfied.
Large and very clean room with a comfy bed, marble and large bathroom with walk-inn rain shower with good water pressure and several amenities were supplied.
No safe box nor coffee/tea making facilities but, since is not expensive to drink coffee outside we had no problem with that.
Friendly staff at reception, smooth check inn. Quiet during the night.
Breakfast was good, warm and cold items, cereals, yoghurt, fruits...no complaints here.
Not so good : if you want your room to be cleaned/made up, you have to put a sign on the door handle outside your door. Strange, (or was this tactical ?) but there was no such sign available in our room. A 4* hotel should clean the room automatically every day.
Location is great, 5 minutes walk from main square/opera.
It was a good introduction to Albania.

Quite satisfied really

Good location in the middle of Tirana. The hotel as such is nice but there are some drawbacks.
The room was big and comfortable, the bathroom was also well equipped.
I stayed for three nights and not once did the cleaner come by. A four star hotel should do better than that. 
There are safes in the rooms but the one in my room was not working.
The breakfast is not very special, ok the bread is fresh and local yoghurt is offered. But the filter coffee served at the breakfast does not meet any standards. It is in fact a shame for the otherwise excellent coffee culture in Albania.

Could be better

Excellent location within easy walking distance of the city center. Large clean rooms, a nice lobby, and a full feature bar are note worthy. The underground garage was important for our car as parking in this area is at a premium. 
The hotel rates are more than reasonable. 
In summary, a very good choice for a stay in Tirana.

Central location, comfortable.

I write this review with mixed feelings.  The hotel itself is beautiful and in a good location.  The rooms were clean and bright.  Breakfast was very good.  What turned me off, however, was the wi-fi.  In the afternoon and evening it was terrible.  On and off and on and off and VERY slow when it was working.  Extremely frustrating.  In the morning it had improved and was at least usable.

A Tough Review to Write

The hotel has a very good central location, comfortable clean rooms and very pleasant staff.  An ideal hotel to get back to after a whole day out as the restaurant and bar are excellent with a good ambiance. Highly recommended.

Excellent Hotel

Stayed two nights at the beginning and end of a tour of Albania,  comfortable, great showers, bathrooms with bidets and a good selection for breakfast.  Would have preferred larger cups of coffee.  Internet connection wasn’t very stable and for this reason I have marked it good not excellent.
However, great value for money. an
Wonderful, friendly efficient receptionists.  Thank you.

Good All Rounder

The rooms are clean and well equiped , the hotel is very close to the centre. , the reception staff were very friendly , our price was reasonable for the quality , it wasn’t too noisy there's a nice area at the front to sit outside albeit no view . Some restaurant staff were friendlier than others and the breakfast buffet was average at best . The main reason to stay here would be price and central location

Good hotel very cemtral

The hotel has a good location only 3 minutes from Skanderberg Square. Clean room and comfortable bed. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful.  In particular a young fair haired girl who worked in the breakfast room & on reception was superb. Good selection at breakfast but the cooked food could have been hotter. I would definately stay there again.
