From Tirana airport Durres is about 20 km down a busy dual carriageway across a coastal plain fringed by high barren hills. Industrial and commercial businesses are dumped on top of arid agriculture. The resort/port town of Durres has docks and industry to the right, beach to the left down a road between dusty small hotels and cafés, market stalls... More

This was our third (and final) time in this hotel. The staff are sadly incredibly arrogant and not customer focussed at all. We've travelled to Albania for 10 years and there were hotels for half this price that were cleaner, better managed and more helpful. It's a real shame that this hotel is being run so poorly now. (Aircon didn't... More

I thought a lot what to write for the place. First, the pros: the hotel is ok, taking in account that Albania has started relatively late its process of modernization. Rooms are very clean, large, with a view directly onto Adriatica. Wifi works just very fine and breakfast is also acceptable(exceptional old style oil-preserved olives and delicious omlettes prepared on... More

Nice hotel directly on the beach of Durres. Rooms with sea view are available at 90€ per night, the price depends on the season. restaurant is ok, breakfast as well. Our room was clean and spacious. We had no reason to complain. Staff was multilingual and helpfull.

Our guide book said 'most luxurious hotel in durres'. for $100 per night (80 euros), I expect a lot more luxury. the walls in the lobby are lined with communist looking pictures (and bill clinton). Like the Butrinti hotel in Sarande, this hotel is 'faux' luxury. It's crappy and run down, but the locals are all convinced it's on par... More

Pros: Very good staff service, room was clean, hotel restaurant is very good. Most staff speaks good English. Free wireless, though it often doesn't work in the rooms--you may need to go down to the lobby or up to the 4th floor, where the signal is good. Cons: Little to no water pressure--either nothing, or the barest tiny trickle, comes... More

I stay several time and also now i am just back. directly on the beach its offering a full panorama on the Durres port. all the service of 5 star , with big pool and clean room. Best lodging in Durres. No restaurant service available.

3 nights in the begining of December 2011. First day surpised with resonably good food quality and choice, but later that realised that they offer the same food from the day before. The worst squids in my life. Clean rooms, renewed recently. Definetely not a 5 star hotel.

I was with a friend two days in hotel and we spent nice time and rest. The rooms are overlooking the sea, the beach is long and beautifully decorated. The only thing I did not like the toilets because it is too small and not nice for the 5-star hotel. Everyone was friendly. Receptionist are communicative and professional. Prices for... More
