Marinaj Hotel

Really nice hotel, very nicely decorated

Beautiful interior but VERY noisy room (2nd floor, street side). It feels like you are sleeping in the busy street (window was closed and wore ear plugs!)

This hotel is still new and it has been well appointed with nice quality materials like stone, marble and nice furniture. We booked two rooms to stay two nights in Tirana. The hotel was chosen for its reviews, its price and the fact that it is located on the airport-side of the city, which was convenient for us arriving and collecting our hire car. We were pleased with our choice. The staff were helpful. The rooms were really big and the bed was great; also the bathroom was very nice. Breakfast was fine; it could have been better but there was a fair bit of choice. The coffee was poor. Once we collected our hire car on the day we left Tirana, we were able to pop the car in the underground hotel car park, which was helpful. The hotel reception area has a sign which suggests there is a wellness and spa area on the top floor - there isn’t, or not yet. It will be a nice addition once this is added. The hotel is located on one of the main roads and this road is currently being renovated (it will be bigger), so it was a little confusing for a taxi driver who picked us up in the centre of the city and took us to the hotel, but was not an issue. The location is not exactly scenic: there is some outside seating, which is quite nice and you could walk to a couple of cafes, restaurants or shops on the same side of the road as the hotel, but it is quite a busy road and there are no parks or sights nearby. This was fine for us as we took taxis to the centre of the city and the places we wanted to visit.
