"Overall, the stay was worth the money, but organization and communication before arrival could be improved, especially regarding parking. This is not really a hotel but an apartment building without an elevator. It’s newly built and has a pleasant, modern feel. The location is excellent, very close to the beach and promenade. On arrival, there was no toilet paper, but the staff provided it quickly. The website mentioned slippers and bathrobes, but none of the rooms in our group had them. The towel situation was odd - we started with one large and one small towel, but by the end of the stay, we only had one each. There were no cups, no hangers in the wardrobe, and only a small bathroom bin — a larger one would be useful. The bathroom floor was often flooded as water leaked from the shower despite being careful. Breakfast was served in a nearby restaurant about 200 meters away. The place was nice, and while the selection was limited, it was acceptable for €5. However, breakfast organization was confusing. On the first day, only two of us were served before the staff said there wasn’t enough food. The rest of the stay was inconsistent - sometimes they didn’t check room numbers, other times they tried to turn us away, even though we had paid for breakfast for the full stay. Be ready that the area around the building is very dirty and close to the large waste bins, that were constantly full and smell bad."

"Couldn't be more pleased with this hotel ! Polite staff , clean and comfy rooms,breakfast by the cute pool. I recommend this hotel,especially for the price paid. "

"Family Friendly "

"It's a two star hotel apartment near the railroad in Durres 15 minute walk away from the beach. It's not in a quiet location as there are many neighbors making noise and many stray dogs barking. There's no regular and daily housekeeping and no water is provided in the room. The toilet and shower are very dirty. The staff is friendly though and there's free laundry service."

"A very fun place to stay. Staff was super serving and excellent! They had a place to park, which is a must in Durres. Great location. Wonderful pool (although closing at 6pm is so early!). Chairs and umbrellas on the beach. We had a great time!!!"

"Extremely relaxing stay "
