The location of the property was perfect if you want a nice and quiet stay. The streets outside the hotel were not as busy and the center of the city was only 10 minutes away. The staff of the hotel were extremely nice and helpful, probably one of the best service I’ve experienced in a hotel. I highly recommend it. Hotel shum I mire dhe njerzit qe punonjen te hoteli jan shum te mire dhe mikpritës.

Hotel with a View
We arrived from the main bus station. Try to make arrangement with the hotel as they have contract with specific taxi company in town. It cost €3.00 with them and cost triple with the taxis in the station. Hotel staff were friendly and hospitable, breakfast was excellent (included in the rate), dinner was also good. It is walkable to go downtown -all downhill but you will have to climb the hill on your way back unless taking a taxi. Hotel is located way up the hill, in local neighbourhood where you will have a chance to mingle with the locals. There is a small grocery store nearby where you can buy some snacks, fruits, drinks, etc. There is a small refrigerator in the room. Rooms are spacious and the view of the mountains are awesome. If you are a walker/hiker there is a lovely park not too far away.

Afa Residence
My stay was not pleasant as I received wrong information from the hotels.com customer service about what 24h check in means. There is no computer station and no business center, too, although it is said in description there are. But I must say that the guy who works there and the owner are cool and room is really, really spacious. And breakfast is interesting.

Nice Hotel, very calm, very good staff
Rooms are very clean and large. Staff are very helpful and they are very enthusiastic to help you. They serves you like your are their family member. It is very safe. It has mountain view and you can see the mountains, ıt has a large view. Foods are good, and very clean. It has SPA and swimming pool also. The hotel is very quite. You can study, work or read about anything you want.

A Great Quick Stay in Prishtina
I was in Prishtina for just 24 hours, but the staff at the AFA Residence was very helpful while I was there. I enjoyed the room and the view very much - I found the bed and linens extremely comfortable - and the staff was very helpful with getting taxis for me when I needed them. I was sad the pool wasn't working - but that's a small thing in comparison to the overall experience. I would not hesitate to return to the hotel on future visits to Kosovo. They made me feel very welcome!

Great place
Although the room was a bit pricy, I enjoyed the stay. The room was large, there was free wifi, a hair dryer, breakfast was included, and the hotel had room service. The shower looked a bit odd like something from a science fiction movie but I was able to find the right levers. The location was dreadful but I didn't mind.

Tucked away, but good service and value
This hotel is in a sidestreet, where currently building is going on, so no prizes for scenic views. But it's a short walk from the main Mother Teresa thoroughfare. The staff are very helpful. There is always someone around to help with your bag. Breakfast buffet was excellent. My room was large and comfortable. The decor is 'classic' style with wooden panelling, large framed paintings, long red curtains. My bathroom had a jacuzzi style bath that needed a degree to work out how to use!

Nice Hotel
The location is very difficult to find. Navigon was unable to find. Even the Cab driver couldn’t find the address without calling the Hotel. The second problem is two Hotels with the same name AFA. One is a residence and second a hotel.

Difficult to find but worth the search
This hotel is on an unpaved road on the hills surrounding Pristina and took some navigation to find. Once there though it's really worth it. The staff/owners were all extremely friendly and efficient, spoke English, and even let me park my motorbike in their house/garage. I got a free upgrade to a massive room with all the luxuries you could wish for after a days riding from Albania. Breakfast was nice too. I highly recommend this friendly, family run hotel to anybody visiting Pristina.

Nice hotel, but bit out of the way
Location out of town, but they have an arrangment with a local taxi firm so that the fare is 2 euros each way into town (or 3 euros to bus station). Be aware if you use other firms they may take you to the original AFA hotel and not know how to find AFA residence (or that it even exists). (And will charge you a lot more). Staff very attentive and keen to please, breakfast was good and served individually (breads, pancakes, omelette, fruit juice, cheeses/tomatoes/hams, etc, tea/coffee) tho' a little awkward them standing there watching me. Lovely premises, altho' I think they're aiming to be more high end than they really are. No balcony in double room (despite description) just a door opening onto windowsill with a barrier. TV good, shower decent. Hairdryer provided. Comfy and spacious. Fridge didn't work (wasn't plugged in when I arrived and door didn't close, but even once I rearranged it so it plugged in it didn't work). 2 bottles of free water per night stayed (I don't know if they would provide more if you requested, but you were given 2 more bottles each time they made the room up). Views from room were beautiful. Very peaceful location. Staff all spoke very good english.

Although a bit out of the centre of Pristina in a quiet area it doesn't detract from this hotels appeal. A 2 minute taxi ride into the main hub of the city. Rexhep and all the staff were fantastic throughout our stay.

Lovely people - horrible hotel
First of all: The people running the hotel are WONDERFUL, kind and very service-minded. They do their very best to make up for what is a HOPELESS hotel, far far from deserving its high ratings. It´s located inconveniently out of the centre, it does not have the facilities it´s said to have ( gym, for instance) and most importantly: The rooms are a nightmare. I couldn't even step in to the bathroom, it was so mold-infested and reeking with clorine. The shower was falling apart, the TV didn't work, the smell in the whole hotel is gruesome, smoke plus bad washing...it´s just a no-no. Don´t even consider staying here, in Pristina centre you will find lots better for same price. When that is said: again, the people in the reception really do their very best to compensate , and that´s very kind and caring of them.Just a shame they have such conditions to work with.

Decent hotel, but not the four star experience, we were expecting. For the price, however, it was decent value. Very nice room and friendly staff. Some maintenance was slightly lacking - lots of minor details like the showerhead and small creaks in the floor.

Der Kosovo ist auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert!
Wir waren als Reisegruppe von 6 Mann im Hotel. Das Hotel übertrifft die Erwartungen, die man an ein Hotel im Kosovo hat deutlich. Besonders hervorheben muss man eindeutig das Personal, welches stets freundlich und hilfsbereit war - Egal ob Tipps für Ausflüge oder Hintergrundinfos zur örtlichen Kultur, das Hotelpersonal stand uns immer hilfsbereit zur Verfügung (Englisch war kein Problem, auch Deutsch war oft kein Problem) Bei uns hat das Hotel den Eindruck unterstützt, dass der Kosovo touristisch zu Unrecht seinen Stiefmütterchen-Status hat. Denn sowohl Land wie Leute haben einiges zu bieten und freuen sich über Besucher aus Europa. Das Sicherheitsgefühl war überraschend überall gut, auch als in der Hinsicht verwöhnter Deutscher. PS: Wer eine Reise in den Kosovo vorhaben sollte, der sollte unbedingt auch Prizren sehen!

Comfortable family-owned business
I stayed at the hotel for school marketing trip and I was very happy with the hotel. The room was really spacious and the view was nice. The room was pleasantly decorated, although minor tear was evident. Bathroom had tiling from local mines. A very modern shower with jets, lights and music. Family owned business which was evident in the care they took with their customers. While the rooms didn't have the opportunity for making a cup of tea or coffee, you could go down and request one with no charge. Breakfast was simple but perfectly suitable, with eggs cooked by your wishes after you've arrived to the breakfast. Sauna and swimming pool available, didn't have time to test them.

A bit hard to find but not that bad.
We choose this hotel because of it's possibilities for indoor activities(sauna, pool etc). This hotel is relatively far from the center so we were looking forward to a nice and relaxing evening. Unfortunately the whole area was out of order. The room was ok although I would prefer a room without mirrors and shower covered in mold. The outlets were dangerous and hang loose from the wall. The view was ok but really not as expected. The hotel is located in a village and there are lots of houses in close proximity which is kind of cozy and really quiet. The breakfast was nice with different cheezes and meats, although I would prefer a buffet. Great staff :)

Hard to find, but nice place
This hotel is extremely hard to find from the address given on the confirmation. At least if you are driving there.. Taxis might know it, but we spend a good hour looking for it. The hotel it self is nice and the staff there are friendly.. The first evening we had dinner in the restaurant, but the food wasn't all that good (very salty). It's a bit of a walk to get to downtown Pristina, but it is worth it!
