Albanian Designs

When I first visited Albania, I stayed in Berat with some friends of a friend. That worked out really well because they had a huge house and they were very welcoming and generous people. I’m glad I didn’t have to find a hotel there because there wasn’t that much on offer.

When I stayed in Tirana, it was a different story. I didn’t know anyone so I had to find a hotel. Finding a good hotel in Tirana is not that easy.

Tirana Albania Hotel

So I went looking for a Tirana, Albania Hotel and apart from a couple of so called ‘luxury’ hotels catering to international businessmen and diplomats, there weren’t many affordable, quality, clean hotels.

I managed to find one hotel which was ok but I believe that hotel doesn’t exist anymore. If I went back today things would be different as a lot of new hotels have sprung up in Tirana.

Albania is a great place to visit. There is a lot to see and seeing most people start their visit in Tirana then it’s worth choosing a nice, clean hotel in Tirana before heading off to other regions and cities.

I should be visiting Albania later this year, probably in time for the New Year Celebrations so I think I’ll visit Tirana, Durres, and Berat again. I’m looking forward to seeing how much has changed since my last visit, including the number of new buildings and hotels around.
