Top Hotels Near Sfinksi Viewpoint in Durrës

"This is a jewel of a hotel. Really beautiful inside and out. Our room was charming, the restaurant really pretty - and the staff from the wonderful Antonella at the desk to the fun Albi in the restaurant were exceptionally good. Can't say enough about how thoughtful & helpful they were. Bed & bedding were very very good, and the made-to-order breakfast was excellent. But ONLY book this hotel if you can book a Garden View Room. Because despite outstanding beds & linens - we got almost no sleep. Our room on the 2nd level (3rd in N Am) faced the street. When we checked in there was a little traffic noise but it wasn't bad. What we did not expect? The hotel restaurant has loud speakers on the street that blare music until after 11 at night: it was like trying to sleep in a nightclub. When that finally ended we could hear 2 or 3 guard dogs barking very loudly very close by. ALL NIGHT LONG. We are sure they were guard dogs because at precisely 6 a.m. they stopped. Two Brits we met on arriving warned us. The next morning at breakfast two Polish ladies shared the same story. We checked out, moved to a far less charming but far quieter hotel. This is EASILY solved: the hotel should start replacing single-pane windows with triple pane and shut off the restaurant loudspeakers at a reasonable hour: 9 pm! Such a pity because it really is a gorgeous hotel."
