Sar'Otel Boutique Hotel

Probably one of the best hotels we've been to, and we've been to a lot! The staff were totally committed to making your stay a special one and nothing was too much trouble, not that you needed to ask cos it was all covered. It was one of the cleanest I've been to (massive beds, great laundry, even the skirting boards had been done). The location is fantastic being just off the main boulevard, next to the market and tourist attractions, yet not the noise you'd expect from that. They organised our return to the airport and let us use their facilities way after the check out time (probably not always possible) I've got to say, they should be charging a little bit more for all they do. My one and only criticism is that they need to update the hair dryers!! Thoroughly recommended and you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic hotel, best location, amazing staff We absolutely loved staying here! Hotel and staff - great all purpose hotel. Lovely breakfast buffet serving both hot/cold, sweet/savoury food, with a beautiful garden area to eat in. We were amazed at how people that were not guests of the hotel were coming here to eat - some of them we saw multiple times during our stay! The staff could not do enough for us, and I would say we are that couple that have a question/request every time we pass reception! They were able to speak very good English, and were most helpful with any information we needed. Their hospitality and conversations with us were genuine, Room - perfect for a city break, with a very comfortable bed, nice balcony, and all the wash facilities you could need. Safe has a key and also combination, and our room was cleaned daily. Location - could not be better and because it is tucked down a side street, you do not get the noise that I have read on reviews for other hotels in the area. Within a minute walk you have an all purpose shop (Rossman) for toiletries, food and drink etc. Across the road from the shop is Skanderbeg Square. From here you are only a few minutes walk from the main city centre shops. As the area is very flat, you can see most of the main monuments of Tirana easily within one full day like we did if you so wish. There is a very famous bazaar (flea market) within a couple of minutes of the hotel. When we return to Tirana, we will be staying here again!

This was the first hotel on a group trip to Albania. A charming small boutique style hotel with a nice terrace and in a really good location - very central for walking around Tirana but tucked away. A little mini mart opposite useful for water etc. My main criticism is that as a solo guest my room was not great. A tiny space with a single bed and an equally tiny shower room. It’s a shame to penalise solo guests who have inevitably paid a premium.

The Sar Otel is a lovely small boutique hotel which is centrally located for all the tourist attractions in Tirana. The staff were all very warm, friendly and welcoming and eager to help. The room was of a good size with a small en-suite, an excellent shower and very quiet efficient air conditioning. Despite it being right in the centre of things it was very quiet at night and the comfortable bed made for an excellent nights sleep. It has a lovely outdoor shady terrace which is perfect for drinks and snacks on a hot day. It is used by a lot of the locals so is excellent for people watching. But beware, just about everyone smokes. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay in the lively city of Tirana.
