8/10 Very good

First of all, I want to mention the staff. Every single one if the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are newly renovated and in a modern design. The room size is good and the beds are comfortable. Location of the hotel is central and it us easy to get around from the hotel. However, due to the central location it is quite noisy. Even with windows, shutters and curtains closed, the street noise was clearly audible. I asked for a different room after the first night which I was given immediately and thou better it was still noisy.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was in a perfect location within walking distance to restaurants and tourist attractions. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The buffet style breakfast with eggs made to order was an excellent option both mornings of our stay. Overall experience was great. Would highly recommend this hotel.

6/10 Good

A quite nice hotel, but - the standard room was not 35 m2 as it said at hotels.com but half the size - the bed was uncomfortable so my back hurt - the English TV-channels were few - the desk was full of marks - the breakfast could have been better with more options - the shutters were closed so there was no view
Peter, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was that none of the channels on the TV I could watch. They were all locked and the person at the front counter said some of them I had to pay for. If I had to pay for all the channel's. I don't know why I would have to pay for every single one. Especially at a 4 star hotel. I wanted to watch Real Madrid the night while I was there but could not access the channel. One sports channel should be included and not have to be paid for.
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We booked a stay for three nights through Expedia. After two nights, we had to move to a smaller room, as the hotel claimed the original room was needed otherwise. We did not get a refund for the price difference, and we never received a written confirmation about the situation from them, which we could have sent to Expedia, although we were promised multiple time that we get one "later". We then also complained about this to Expedia, and the hotel never responded to them either. So the hotel is okay as long as all goes well, but you get no support in case of problems. I suggest you book elsewhere.

Had a fabulous stay at the Monarc.Very clean, nice decor, great breakfast, friendly staff. Great roof bar. It was perfectly placed in the centre of town - bars and restaurants no more than 5 min walk away. The price worked for us. It was one of the nicest boutique hotels we have visited in Eastern Europe and we have been to many.

Sentralt og fint uten å være for bråkete. Litt støy fra veien, men vinduene tar det meste av støyen. Takterassen er gull å ha etter en lang dag med gåing.

Michel, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A small well-presented modern hotel close to the centre of town with friendly and helpful staff. It also has a very pleasant roof bar which is open to the public. It is however on the intersection of two very busy streets so there is a lot of traffic noise if you want to open a window.

Great location for Tirana , staff was excellent and helpful
kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From even before I arrived at the hotel the staff on the front desk were very helpful with arranging transfer to and from the airport. The hotel is in a great location in Tirana and it was possible to walk most places. My room was beautiful and comfortable. The shower was hot. Breakfast every morning was delicious and the kitchen and restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating. I also enjoyed visiting the rooftop bar which had a great view of the city. My only problem was that I am a light sleeper. I was glad I brought some ear plugs as the sound of the city traffic continued throughout most of the night, and the 0430 am call to prayer from the mosque across the road was also very loud. I feel the hotel should provide earplugs in the rooms to guests as standard. But I really enjoyed my stay at MonarC hotel and would very happily stay here again.

Lovely small hotel, handy for all attractions and for centre. 20-30 mins transfer from airport - booked via hotel for 20 euros. Lovely helpful and friendly staff, decent breakfast as well. Was very impressed and loved Tirana which as a great city break for a few days.
Neil, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is in a perfect location. Nearly all of Tirana is in walkable distance from this central hotel. The staff are lovely and eager to please. The rooftop bar is a perfect place to unwind in the evening either before or after heading out into the city. The rooms are clean and comfy. My only 3 complaints were that 1. It is situated on a cross road of 2 main roads and so it is very noisy throughout the night. The windows did nothing to reduce the noise. Not the hotel's fault, but just be prepared for traffic noise. Then 2. We booked a superior double room that had a hot-tub type bath, this did not work. But that's minor. Finally, 3. They do have a restaurant at the hotel that does a wonderful breakfast, but never seemed open at the times it said it was open for lunch or dinner. The few times we were at the hotel at these times and went to look, the lights were off and no-one was there. We could be wrong but that is how it appeared. Otherwise, fantastic hotel! Would recommend and would more than happily stay there again.

It is a very nice and small hotel in centrum. Nice and friendly personal. The traffic around the hotel is intensiv. The big mosque is close to the hotel so you hear the call to prayer very loud.

Excellent helpful staff

Very friendly & helpful staff. Room was a well sized modern one, clean & equipped with kettle & fridge. Good rooftop bar. Room unfortunately was a little too noisy from traffic noise, but that may have been because of the side of the building we stayed at & you’ll always get traffic noise when staying most cities.

The location was practical for me as I could walk in ten minutes or less to the various venues in Tirana where I had meetings.
