i found the staff friendly and helpful. they helped me a lot and i stayed on the first floor. breakfast included delicious traditional albanian food and the hotel also included a handy car park i really appreciated.
the bathroom was a bit small i think. the shower made the entire bathroom floor wet it was hard to use. cold water was all over the floor after i took a shower so it was hard for me to walk in.
