Kalpazo Inn Tirana

Be friendly with the owner and things will go smoothly. If you're only staying one night, don't try to change the price. For a stay longer than a week, he's a friendly guy and might be able to help. In general, it's the best place to stay in Tirana. It's a 30-minute walk or a 5-minute drive to the centre. He can provide breakfast if you ask, and the Wi-Fi is free 24/7. A welcoming place for families, solo travelers, or couples.

The neighborhood made things easy, with a grocery store, supermarket, bakery, and pharmacy nearby, and there was a cafe and restaurant right downstairs. I stayed for two weeks and the room was very affordable. It was clean, the sheets were changed every day, and fresh towels and robes were provided. With Albania being so hot, I was glad there was air conditioning in every room. The cozy building had lovely paintings in the rooms and hallways that made it feel like home. Room service was fantastic, and the food was so good I still think about it. Eris, the manager, was helpful and knew a lot. He answered all my questions, spoke several languages, and had contacts with a 24/7 taxi service for sightseeing. I could message him on Whatsapp whenever I needed something and he replied right away. I had a great stay, would recommend it, and can’t wait to come back.

They were always available when we needed help finding our way around the city or with anything else. The room was spacious and very neat, and they were happy to clean it every day. They also took care with our belongings.

The location was awful, with nowhere to eat nearby. My room wasn't cleaned, and the pillow was covered in hair. The bed squeaked and was uncomfortable. Often nobody was at the reservation desk, so be prepared for random people to enter your room and steal your things.
