Another restaurant that shows how great the fine dining scene is in Albania.
We stumbled upon a perfect restaurant for a long lazy lunch.
The interior design is simply unique; this is attached to a boutique hotel (six rooms).
Delicious fresh food, and the most extensive wine list we've found in years, 500+ wines often in verticals - something for everyone's price range.
Super friendly staff went out of their way to explain the wines, food and shared ideas on where to visit in Albania. A special thank you to Albi and Alfred for the outstanding service.
We loved Padam so much we have booked ourselves to stay for a few days next week. They have beautiful cosy rooms with balconies and a great cocktail bar with a wonderful deli also.
Fabulous place to stay & to eat! The rooms are clean and well appointed... and breakfast is, frankly, amazing. Staff is the friendliest and most helpful I’ve encountered in a long time. Dinner and wine are excellent, and also a great value. Highly recommend staying and dining here if you are in Tirana.
A beautiful boutique hotel located in a quiet alley in the center of Tirana in the business area in 'Jul Variboba' Street. You are steps away from everything and only a short walk into the Blloku, the heart of the city.
A luxury hotel and the rooms are beautiful, exactly as the pictures describe. Very comfortable and spacious with high-quality finishings and linen. Each room has a large balcony to enjoy the fresh air.
There is a lovely restaurant and cafe in the hotel, and the staff are delightful. You receive breakfast with your booking which can order be delivered to your room. It is a la carte and a great selection available.
Definitely recommend LA Suite Hotel for your stay in Tirane and to book directly with the hotel for the most competitive price.
This stylish boutique hotel is perfectly located right in the restaurant, bar and club scene in Tirana.
The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, in a beautiful building.
Perfect location to explore Tirana, great vibe with a great team that ensures your stay will be memorable.
This place has a jazz club underneath, however, due to Covid-19 that wasn't operating because of the 10 pm curfew.
Plenty of spots to work, sit outside, and people watch or chill out in the lounge bar.
We ate at their in-house restaurant and the quality of the food was excellent and the daily breakfast was one of the best I've had for a while.
Everything was suuuuper nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had all the things one could need. The other guests were silent and respectful. The location is in the center, near every point of interest. The receptionists were lovely, kind and always ready to help. Almost uncomfrotably lovely, I don't deserve that :) I really loved the way they made me feel home (with all the benefits of it, but without the responsibilities). I'm glad I chose Center Hotel and I am looking forward to my next trip. Thank you
Sweet boutique hotel in middle of Tirana.. an excellent breakfast is waiting for you here. The terrace is huge and gives you a nice view over the big square.
The staff is well trained and is speaking besides English, German and Greek which was impressive. The Italian speaking staff was the bonus for us.
I had a nice time here.. Thanks again
I really enjoyed the stay . The hotel was cleaned perfectly, the location was near shops and the center of the city . A warm and comfortable hotel which I suggest all my friends !
I feel myself was privileged to spend my last 4 days in Tirana at Vanilla Sky Boutique Hostel.
The director Entela is an elegant and beautiful person, she's willing to give a hand and suggestions anytime.
The design and decoration showed high class tastes, the actual and the pictures on website are 100% matched, well conditions facilities, memory-Foam Mattress, pillow and good quality duvet are marvelous! I loved the balcony ;-)
Thank goodness that I've explored Tirana before I stayed at Vanilla, the lounge is too cozy to go out for sight-seeing.
The location is perfect, restaurants, shops, attractions are walkable distances, airport only 30 minutes duration via Taxi, price was reasonable (2020 November was €10)
Vanilla Sky Boutique Hostel is one of the best accommodations in Tirana, you will appreciate yourself to choose staying here for sure!
Hopefully the pandemic will be over soon that I can go traveling and visit Tirana again!
This is a nice hostel, great location, cool chill out area. The young lady who runs it is very friendly and gets everyone going and talking. For me the hostel was clean enough, although there are a lot of people in the hostel so of course the shower and toilet facilities can get a bit dirty when used, the bed area was clean and comfy, I got clean towels also. The hostel was given a clean every morning including the showers and toilet area. Met some cool people here and I'd recommend to stay. It would have got 5* if there was more/better shower and toilet facilities. Breakfast included was nice, simple but nice. People and the hostel are great, cheap and just what you need.
The perfect place to be ,if you want to enjoy nature and city. A great view of Tirana and the beautiful hills of the city! A view which you can enjoy during the day at the swimming pool area or at the restaurant during lunch or dinner!
Restaurant offers a variety of different dishes and tastes. Service is excellent and
staff is very friendly!
The Hotel is located perfectly in the city center but still in a quiet street. You can reach all the sights within 10 minutes walking distance. It is very clean and my room was modern and staffed with all necessities. Above all to mention the friendliness of the staff that were all times approachable and helpful.
The breakfast has a wide variety of local and international foods.
Great place, I would come again!
Amazing place to stay in 5 star hotel, the most comfortable rooms, beautiful view from balcony to the lake and mountain near by to the night clubs, excellent staff and
fresh food in Gambler restaurant and Pavarotti pizzaria, all run by a very welcome family business . Money worthy, we definitely come back.
The kindest most friendly gentle staff ever. Always ready to help and assist.
The food is very good, breakfast generous. And will order takeout for you from anywhere in the city.
Rooms extremely clean and very comfortable.
And the best is the location, a walking distance from everything. Yet easy to access by car and on site parking.
Will return again for sure
I stayed at Vila Tako for the past 6 days with my family and we have nothing but the best things to say. The staff is very pleasant, food is amazing, hotel is spotless and centrally located. We will be returning back here soon. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking to stay here in Tirana. 10/10
Excellent place for holiday or even business trip! Comfortably and highly recommended rooms. Hotel and the Bar stuff really helpful and polite. Hotel is near to the centre and couple of embassies near to the Hotel. Great national park 3min walk to the Hotel is really great for a little walk or whatever you like to do! Conclusion ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED place!
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in February 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
