Sar'Otel Boutique Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at Sar'Otel Boutique Hotel and can’t recommend it highly enough. A special mention must go to Valbona on reception—she is, without doubt, the most friendly and helpful receptionist I have encountered, and I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years. Nothing is too much trouble for her, and she made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived.The other staff were also very good, but Valbona truly stands out as exceptional. Our superior room was modern, spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped, with a huge emperor-size bed and a spacious wet room. Breakfast was very good each morning, and it was a real pleasure to sit outside in the peaceful, shaded courtyard. The hotel is perfectly located—just a five-minute walk from Skanderbeg Square, yet tucked away on a quiet side street, so it feels calm and relaxing despite being in the heart of the city. We’d gladly stay here again—highly recommended!

great value for money. The twin room is a bit tight around the beds but room size was good and the bathroom is spacious. The rooms faced the road and was a bit noisy. Great location - walking distance to the main square and 'bus station' to get buses to the main bus terminal. Staff were nice and good basic breakfast.

Sar’Otel Boutique Hotel was everything I expected plus much much more. Hotel is beautiful with a bar and courtyard in back. Just minutes away from Skanderbeg Square and Bunk’Art 2. The hotel was very clean with the rooms being made up everyday. Sar’Otel is also very environmentally friendly in their practices. The thing that made our stay special was the staff. Valbona and Flevia were very accommodating, friendly and welcoming. Both went out of their way to make our stay special. I would definitely stay at Sar’Otel Boutique Hotel again.

5-10 min walk to centre. 2 mins walk to bus links and airport transfer buses. Good location. Lovely staff. Easy access. Comfortable bed. Nicely set out rooms. Lots of self-service and unrestricted continental breakfast. Great WiFi. Good satellite TV channels (CNN and BBC News etc). Great room cleaning. Mini bar in room if you wish to use it.

The hotel staff were very friendly and all spoke English which helped us a lot. The room was true to the description with a King bed, they were out of rooms with twin but, it was a family trip and there was plenty of room. Showers are warm and with tons of pressure. Even though the hotel is in one of the busiest sections of Tirana, their windows were really sound proof and I heard nothing from outside. During the day I sat on the Balcony and just enjoyed being there. Breakfast was a really long window of 7am to 11 am and that is highly unusual. It was a good buffet with Albanian dishes as well as more well known items. The dining area can probably sit every guest which is a huge plus. One personal story... i misplaced my jacket during one of my many walks around Tirana. I figured I had left it in the cafe area in the hotel but, assumed it was lost. The next morning I saw it placed on a rack for me. Not a huge effort but a thoughtful one. Know you are in a hotel where you will be fine and can really explore a great city.
