"This was an unexpected pleasure. Made up in an English country decor with a touch of Albania. Room was spacious and well fitted. Balcony looked onto the street and was a good insight into the city. Specialized bike lanes, tree lined streets, outside restaurants, and much more. Service in neighbouring restaurant was excellent. The breakfast was well displayed and offered a good variety with off menu options as well. Well located. Blackout curtains appreciated. Staff warm and welcoming. Highly recommend. "
"Hotel Room and staff were lovely as was the food, the spa facilities are nice but front of desk staff at spa, not very good (booked couples massage with prosecco and fruit, no fruit or prosecco, we complained and they told us they did not offer this and we felt like they were implying we were lying) -the spa is not ran by the hotel"
