We loved our stay at Noni guesthouse. Perfect place to stay in Tirana, the house is stunning, the rooms and bathrooms new and clean. The owners couldn’t be more lovely, I wasn’t feeling very well in the morning and they let me stay way past check-out time. The main square is just a 15-minute walk away. Parking is also available, which is great. If I were to return to Tirana, I would no doubt stay there again. Highly recommended!
