Best international hotel in Tirana Albania

Overall I had a fantastic stay at the new Mercure hotel in Tirana. The best parts being: a) the rooms - very modern and comfortable with great air condition and water pressure b) the food - breakfast buffet is really great and both dinners I had at the hotel were great!!! c) the service - this is the biggest plus of all! Everyone has been so friendly (but I want to especially call out the breakfast manager!). There is a really great attitude to help and fix what needs to be fixed. I had an early departure for a hike, so they made me a to go breakfast bag as I’d miss the breakfast hours. I was away for two days before returning from my hike, and without fuzz they held my luggage in storage for those days. The only negative is the location. Right now there’s really not much around the hotel. But a lot of construction is going on so I’m sure in a year it will already have changed. Also, a taxi to the city center is only €7-8 and there are several bus lines stopping a few minutes walk away that only takes about 10 minutes and costs about 40 cents. I actually walked several times to see the city, and that took about 40 min to the city center. Another benefit is that it is on the right side of town to get to the airport quickly (traffic is often bad in Tirana) and to one of the major bus terminals. Would I stay again - absolutely!

The hotel has definately exceeded our expectations. It's clean with spacious rooms and a very attentive and friendly service. Due to the hotels size it's not overcrowded with guests and therefore is quite and peaceful with enough sunbeds. The food at the restaurant was delicious, as well as the cocktails. They did have a Dj every evening, so we enjoyed a few parties. Location may not be the most convenient but it's a 3-5 min walk to the beach and other restaurants. Oh and they also have a furry family living outside by the pool being cute and of course protecting the guests by hunting the insects. Overall, we loved our stay here and recommend it to our friends and family!

Super clean, great staff, spacious rooms, free shuttle to the airport. Great stay!
