Kashar Holidays from £126

I didn’t really want to write this review. I’m the kind of person who likes to be nice, polite, and respectful. But when you travel a long distance, need a place to sleep, and pay the price expecting a basic level of comfort and cleanliness, you have every right to speak up when the experience is this disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the process of getting the key was unnecessarily complicated. You had to go to a large box, put money into a smaller box, take a video, and follow several confusing steps just to get access to the apartment. After a long trip, this was the last thing we needed. Unfortunately, the experience inside the apartment was even worse. The place did not feel properly maintained or clean. The bathroom was especially unacceptable. There was a strong sewage-like smell coming from the toilet area, and there were visible signs of water around the toilet. The smell was so bad that it was difficult to comfortably use the bathroom. It honestly smelled like sewage and made the entire apartment feel dirty and poorly maintained. For the price we paid, I expected at least a clean, comfortable, and properly maintained place to stay. Instead, the experience was stressful and unpleasant from the moment we arrived until we left. I understand that things can sometimes go wrong, but basic cleanliness, a functioning bathroom, and a reasonable check-in process should not be too much to expect. I would not stay here again, and I cannot recommend this place.

I had a very pleasant stay at Aquila D Hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment I arrived. As I arrived before check-in time, they kindly offered to store my luggage while I explored the city, which I really appreciated. They were also very responsive to any questions or requests I had throughout my stay. The room was very clean, comfortable, and homely, with a TV and all the essential amenities I needed. I particularly appreciated that the room was cleaned daily, and the shower had consistently warm water. Breakfast was good too, making for a great start to the day. The hotel is also ideally located right in the heart of Durrës, making it convenient for exploring the city. Overall, I had a lovely experience and would happily recommend Aquila D Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with friendly, helpful staff and a great location.
