Grand Hotel & Spa Tirana

هذا الفندق لا يعمل مع موقع Trip.Com، فقد تعرضنا للاحتيال من قِبل Trip.Com. وصلنا إلى الفندق في 16/09/2023 حوالي الساعة 23:30، وأُبلغنا بعدم وجود حجز لدينا، على الرغم من أننا حجزنا عبر Trip.Com ودفعنا ثمنه. طلبنا من Trip.Com حجز فندق بديل لنا، لكنهم رفضوا، وفي النهاية اعترفوا بأن ذلك كان خطأهم. أخبرونا أنهم سيغطون فرق سعر الفندق. ثم عندما حجزنا فندقًا لائقًا، أخبرونا أن الغرفة مُحسّنة ولا يُمكنهم تغطية التكلفة الكاملة. أصبحنا بلا مأوى في بلد أجنبي، ولم يُساعدنا Trip.Com كثيرًا. اضطررنا لدفع 85 يورو للإقامة لليلة واحدة نظرًا لتأخر الليل، وحجز فندق آخر لبقية رحلتنا. تجنب Trip.Com.

This is a very high-quality business hotel in the heart of the city. Delicious breakfast, although not variations from day-to-day. The rooms are beautifully equipped, clean and comfortable. The staff is very kind. We would like to especially mention Hegi at the reception. She’s a hidden jam for this hotel. Professional, very kind and tries to do everything possible to make your stay pleasant. There The hammam also very nice. Unfortunately, the sauna is set to the maximum 55 Celsius, which cannot be called a finish sauna. The Jacuzzi is out of order. Be aware, that the next door building is under construction, which is very noisy through the entire day, sometimes during the night as well. So ask for a room at the other side. When I complained about the noise, the manager – who is a real gentleman – gave me some compensation. There is electric car charge possibility in the courtyard, which provides a very safe and comfortable parking – and this is a very important thing in downtown Tirana.

Perfectly OK shame about the gym Its hard to judge hotels standards between countries and certainly in Albania one has to keep a slightly open mind and judgement, but all in all I think this was worth the price we paid. The location is very very convenient, the rooms are fine. It feels quite fun being directly opposite the old dictators "as it was" 60s house.The biggest negative was the so called gym. Just about everything in there was broken so it was a bit of a swizz to include it in the description to be frank. I also loved arriving late in the day to ask at the bar "can we get anything to eat" to be told "no". But I guess thats the Albanian way - tell it how it is. Mind you we had some lovely meals nearby - some top notch restaurants in Tirana these days,.
