Kendi i Lojrave

Staff were fantastic, breakfast was delicious and the location was good as most places of interest were not too far and reachable within a 30 minute walk as well as a bus right at the hotels doorstep. Really nice greenery in the neighbourhood and local small shops which were so unique and interesting. Personally during my stay it was a tad noisy for me, and the room needed slight upgrading with fixtures attended to, other than that Oda hotel is very reasonable for price and location.

This is a very interesting hotel but there were a couple of things that made our stay unpleasant. The main one was that in mid October the temperature was still in the 80’s and they switched the air conditioning off in the rooms and only had heat! Our room was stuffy and HOT! No fans were available to help with the oppressive heat. The crazy thing was that the hallways and common spaces all seemed to still be air conditioned! The windows opened but the lights outside were so bright we could not sleep unless the curtain was closed. We booked the room through Expedia with free breakfast and the front desk person kept insisting to me that we did not get breakfast for free and would need to pay $30 for 2! I had to email him my receipt from Expedia before he would believe me! The breakfast was fine for free but was a very mediocre buffet and we had to ask for bowls, cups, etc because they were not out! The pool was also closed down and it would have been nice to be able to swim with the temperatures so high. The view from the rooftop is the best part of this hotel. We only stayed here because our daughter lives in the neighborhood but otherwise it far from all the attractions of Tirana.

Slept like a baby, the room was amazing. It didn’t have mini bar in my room but everything else was perfect.
