Shengjin Vacations from $372

A bit difficult to find at first as it is a the back of buildings on the main rd but was ok when I found it.very close to the main square 5 mins walk..Everything you needed was within 2 mins walk hotel great for the price fab bathroom ,plenty of spare bedding if cold constant hot water .breakfast good .an unusual place to go Albania but I found it great like most European cities. The best thing was the people,could not be nicer I went alone and they went out of their way to help if you asked a question.i asked one man a question he spoke no English but told me to wait and brought someone who did.i was so touched by their friendliness.I went to the cable car and as it explained there was hill from the bus stop.Going up I was knackered and sat down on a wall to rest.A couple went passed and went a bit further up turned round and came back.asked me if I was ok and offered me water,I will never forget that in my life.3 days is enough unless you go to the beaches I had 5 days.summing up it was perfectly safe saw not even a raised voice.all in all I had a great experience. The people my age have been through so much in communist times they are grateful of visitors going. Total experience. 8/10

Very beautiful hotel. Clean in all areas. The hotel is just behind the Albanian Stadium in Tirana,which is a wow factor. Hotel is 5 minutes walk to the Pyramid, 10 minutes walk to the city . Buses from the hotel to the city centre is just 4 minutes away We went to Albania to celebrate my hubby's birthday. I ordered for a cake with the intention to pay for it, and we got a cake to feed 6-8 people for free.😃. The cake was delicious. Lawrence thanks, for helping to order the cake Lola thanks for baking my husband the lovely cake. Breakfast is a wow factor, great selection to choose from. Thanks to the cooks and waiters. Lawrence and Belsie the receptionists were very helpful during check in. There is a marvellous park with a massive lake behind the hotel. To conclude, Mak hotel is the perfect place to stay if you visit Tirana. My husband and myself loved our 5 days stay and will visit again. My only concern is staffs at the entrance not welcoming, you have to greet them, they never say hello when you leave or enter the hotel. I travel a lot, at least 5 times a year and go to different countries and staffs at the other hotels I have visited have been friendly and make you feel welcome.

Generally a good hotel. A little bit tired in places and missing some amenities (e.g. kettle / iron) that you would expect to find. Location very much made up for that though abd the staff were friendly and helpfull.

Yes, staff was wonderful, helpful, kind, and smily; the room was clean, with fresh linens daily and tidy, all graciously spoke english as appropriate and went out of their way to be helpful; the food and service were fabulous; amenities were very appropriate for our needs; and the cost very fair. Thank you.
