Paying £25 a night, I craftily think and expect next to nothing these days! However, Tirana never fails to give blooming Good value even though basic stuff is broken or missing ! Clean comfortable bed and efficient air con are essential and indeed they were.
The bathroom a bit disappointing with the usual ‘screws missing out of the shower head causing grief to keep the ‘hot’ water falling in one place!
The strangest smell emanating from the shower drain disappearing with water flow!
Clean toilet and supplied quality soap!
No safety rails on precarious stairs to level two, no receptionist in the two days , however informative notes on Wifi (v good) and entry!
Value 8+/10 ☺️

Location was spot on—5 minutes walk from Toptani Shopping Centre, right by a really fancy kenefa place, next to the big masjid, and surrounded by everything and all types of shops someone might need.
Staff was really nice and helpful; they provided us with recommendations when we asked and even gave us a charger since we didn't have a European plug.
The room was really nice and comfy, with ACs and heating within them—definitely worth £39 and we'll be visiting again!
The room was okay and everything but they wouldnt let us use the AC. I turned it on at night cuz my kids sleep better when its cooler, and they came up the stairs and shut the power off to our room. We needed our phones charged for the next day as we had big plans the next morning and we woke up to them dead. Also, on top of no power and AC or wifi, they yelled at us for leaving 2 shopping bags of garbage. Saying she just rents the rooms, shes not a maid. I was unaware that there was public dumpsters on the streets- I thought they were business owned like in the states where if you put trash in it you get fined. She also got mad that I stripped the beds before we left and I think was saying she had someone coming in an hour and now she will have to make them wait. So the whole experience was of that of staying at someones house when they dont want you there. Also I paid a $10 deposit and they didnt return it.
El apartamento está muy bien. Es algo difícil de encontrar aunque con las indicaciones nosotros nos ubicamos a la primera. El problema si está en el acceso, que no es problema, es sólo que si no estás acostumbrado a cerraduras digitales y no te lo explican, te puede ocurrir lo que nos pasó a nosotros. La puerta de acceso con el código, lo metes, bajas el pomo y la puerta se abre (la principal). La del apartamento no, tienes que meter el código, subir la manilla y bajarla, entonces se abre. Si esto no te lo explican, tú metes código y bajas manilla (la puerta no abre). Lo solucionamos al momento con el anfitrión, así que problema cero.
La comunicación con el anfitrión perfecta. Contesta a todo rápido y es de mucha ayuda y útil.
El apartamento muy muy limpio y cómodo. Tiene de todo. Lo que no acompaña es el acceso a los apartamentos y el ascensor (viejo y con un estado en general de limpieza nulo y deteriorado) pero el apartamento no, está perfecto y lo recomendamos al 100%
Ubicación excelente. Está en todo el centro de la vida de tirana. Si volviera a tirana me quedaría un par de días más.
El baño muy limpio y había champú y gel. La cama blandita y muy cómoda. Y lo vuelvo a repetir, increíblemente limpio. Esto nos preocupaba pero las reseñas lo decían y es verdad.
En resumen. Un 10 para el anfitrion y su apartamento.
BBackpacker00I had an excellent stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, and the room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. One thing I really appreciated was the small fridge in the room stocked with drinks—you can simply enjoy what you like and pay for it at checkout, which was super convenient.
The rooftop was definitely a highlight. It offers a stunning overlooking view that’s perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or enjoying the scenery day or night. Downstairs, there’s also a great bar where you can chill, unwind, and grab a drink without even leaving the hotel.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for great service, comfort, and amazing view. I’ll definitely be coming back and with friends next time!
ผผู้เข้าพักLovely hotel clean room and warm welcome. Easily accessible as the bus from tirana stops right outside. Lovely breakfast only downside was breakfast didn't start until 8am so we were unable to eat before leaving for the airport
AAhmet>Reception quite unprofessional a bit rude
Breakfast very poor
Parking extra 5 euro which I did not know
I do not prefer and do not advice for next time

RRehanaWe had a great stay at Vila Jasmine. The owner Aldina was very responsive from the time we made the booking. We arrived around 3am and she waited and welcomed us warmly. Room was simple but spacious and clean. It was great having a table with 2 chairs in the room. Wifi was fast and heater works great. Aldina was very helpful. She gave us lots of info and helped us with our planning. Vila was right in the town itself so everything was within walking distance. There are many cafes and shops within the area. The airport bus also stops about 5 mins away from the Vila and the bus to the bus terminal is also around less than 10 mins away. We enjoyed our stay and also enjoyed chatting with Aldina who is always smiling. There are rooms on the ground floor and the 2nd floor rooms are accessible via small stairs in the garden.

ผผู้เข้าพักThe room is very neat and cool, the breakfast is commendable, and the location is strategic, but I was shocked when I was told I could not have a guest in my room even after paying for 2 persons when I booked. I was never informed about this and felt embarrassed when the receptionist was telling me this right in front of my guest, and almost turned my plea down, and it took close to 15 minutes before she accepted as she was struggling to understand my English. If adults can't be with visitors in privacy in a hotel, where do you expect them to stay with their visitor after paying two persons price? It was so embarrassing that I had to move elsewhere the next day.
