Sky Hotel Tirana

La signora alla reception era gentile; mi ha offerto una camera moderna e rinnovata di categoria superiore all'ultimo piano con una bellissima vista sulla piazza La zona in cui si trova l'hotel è viva e intorno a molti ristoranti e caffè e a pochi passi dal centro

First problem occurred when bag put into secure storage. Some time later my bag was loaded on a tourist bus, luckily I just happened to see it go by whilst sitting near reception. Next got my room, some time later male attendant just decides to unlock door and walk in with another customer. My old technical skills were handy when tv did not work at all so with multi purpose swiss knife managed to repair this. I did not charge the hotel for my work. My room is also directly above ongoing maintenance with drilling and hammering going on, asked to move rooms quickly given short shift with a no. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. Previous 2 nights stayed at Bazaar Hotel which was wonderful.

Sky Hotel Tirana is a very practical base, especially if you like being able to walk almost everywhere without feeling stuck in traffic noise. The hotel sits neatly between the city centre and Air Albania Stadium, both within easy walking distance. It’s on a road, but not on a big main road, so evenings are noticeably quieter and early mornings pass without much traffic. For me, that’s a good balance: close enough to be handy, far enough to sleep. There’s a café bar at the front, and the restaurant (where breakfast is served) is up on the 18th floor in the business tower. The 360-degree views are genuinely excellent and clearly attract plenty of evening visitors as well. At times this meant queues for the single lift — not a major issue, but worth knowing. The rooms are large, with a bed and a seating area. In my room, the small table in the seating area was a bit wobbly, but overall everything worked as it should. The desk was large enough for proper working, which made it easy to use the room as a base for a few hours. You’re close to restaurants, a supermarket, and everyday amenities, and most of the city centre is easy to reach on foot. My customer was about a 30-minute walk away, which I didn’t mind at all — early mornings and evening rush hour are good times to take in the city’s atmosphere. Wi-Fi worked well throughout, which is important here as mobile data can become expensive depending on your provider — especially if you rely on connectivity for work. Verdict: a well-located, practical hotel with good working space and great views, clearly geared towards business travellers. Would I stay again? Yes — for work, absolutely.
