薩奧泰爾精品飯店(Sar'Otel Boutique Hotel)

Elencare le cose che mi sono piaciute sarebbe forse riduttivo, quindi dico semplicemente che è stato tutto perfetto, sia per quanto riguarda l'hotel che soprattutto lo staff, con i ragazzi che parlano tante lingue e sono tutti super disponibili e gentili, una cosa che si trova di rado in strutfure dove si soggiorna semplicemente per qualche giorno. Lo consiglierò sicuramente a degli amici che prossimamente faranno una vacanza a Tirana. Veramente bravi tutti e grazie per l'accoglienza.

My partner and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Tirana to immerse ourselves in the wonderfully festive frivolity this zibrant, 'up-and-coming' city has to offer. We were so pleased we decided to book at Sar'Otel. Firstly, we were informed to catch the bus from the airport at only 400 Lek (£3.60) per person that drops you in the cente at Skanderbeg Square. The hotel is a very short walk from the drop-off spot - testement to its excellent central location - as we were greeted with joyous hospitality from the Assistant Manager, Elsa. Side note: Elsa is truly wonderful, infectiously smiley and incredibly helpful member of staff. Check-in was quick with access to free WiFi and Elsa's personal recommendations for places to visit; traditional eateries; Albanian custom and much more. Taking the short lift to the third floor we were welcomed by the embrace of a colossal bed, a fair sized en-suite and personal balcony. Yes, the balcony view is ever so slighted limited, but this is once again testament to the Tirana investment in unique and exploratory architecture. The mini bus was stocked with food and drinks available at a minimal cost. I would say drink the water as tap water can be sketchy in the country. We ventured out for the evening (visiting many of Elsa's recommendations) and enjoyed the temporary Christmas Market in the main square - roughly 3 minute walk from the hotel. On our return another member of the hotel staff offered us a glass of Raki as we played cards on our balcony and retired for a blissful evening of slumber. The electric black-out blind created a darkness paralleled only by the depths of the mariana trench. Morning bought even more surprise with a beautiful continental breakfast and coffee (+ soft drinks) available upon request. I personally opted for a mixture of fruit, yogurt, muffin and sausages; an odd combination but one that helped with the Raki hangover! Heading back to the room we quickly collected our items and set out for another day exploring. Side note: we visited all of Albania's landmarks and I would recommend the climb to the top of 'the pyramid' to feel as if you were scaling the opposite 'Dajti mountain'. Sar'otel was as perfect as the city made us feel.

The hotel overall is very nice. It is centrally located, has lovely staff, a delicious breakfast buffet and stylish, comfy rooms. I’d also like to make mention of a staff member who especially helped out by using his personal phone to call collect to Canada to sort out my bank card issue. My negative related to the fact that on their website they specifically mention that they have a spa and offer massage to guests. However, this turned out to be false and when I sent an email of question/complaint, I got no response. The front desk staff told me it has been since Covid but the they certainly should change their website. I would probably have booked somewhere a little cheaper if I had known this as that was that we main reason I booked at this location. It was my most expensive accommodation in a six week trip in the Balkans.

Lovely hotel. Fantastic location, near the new market and lots of bars and restaurants, short walk to Blloku and other interesting areas. Short walk to the central bus terminus. The staff were extremely friendly and pleasant. Lovely buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Good sized bed, all rooms air conditioned and ours had a lovely balcony too. Very quiet at night. This is a very reasonably priced hotel for what you get. Would definitely recommend if you are in Tirana.

Centralissimo ma silenzioso e riservato, nonostante l’aspetto esteriore non eccessivamente attraente offre un buon standard con camere spaziose e confortevoli e bagni puliti e comodi. Ottimo per fare due passi al vicino mercato e comodo al quartiere che pullula di ottimi ristoranti.

I have just been there with my husband and my baby. The hotel is lovely and very clean. It's in the heart of Tirana, so great if one wants to walk to the main city attractions. The staff is super helpful and very professional. The lovely lady at the reception even played with my baby so I could eat breakfast uninterrupted. I would definetily recommend it. Breakfast is also delicious !

very good service. staff was polite and helpful. hotel rooms was clean. i went there and recepsionist helped me to get my room. it was coffe offered to the rrom also the meals was very delicions. i would defenetly reccomend it

This lovely place in the heart of Tirana is well runned by a young stuff ready to satisfy every customers' request. Breakfast is quite rich and the room was confortable, (maybe the bathroom is too small for two).

Ho soggiornato per tre notti in dicembre 2022, la stanza era spaziosa, accogliente e molto pulita. La colazione è ottima e c'è anche un patio perfetto per bere qualcosa la sera. L'hotel è situato in una stradina molto silenziosa a due passi dalla piazza principale e dal bazar. Un altro punto di forza di questo hotel è il servizio eccellente: il manager e i suoi collaboratori sono molto attenti alle esigenze del cliente e fanno di tutto per rendere il soggiorno un'esperienza indimenticabile.
