Hotels
Until 1991, foreigners could only stay at two dreadful hotels in Tirana. Things have changed dramatically, and now a wide variety of accommodation is available, with several good new small hotels and hostels.
Most are found around the bllok area, and between the main square and the train station. Prices vary dramatically, and the price of a good night’s sleep in both a top range suite is worth 500 nights in a simple guesthouse bed. If you go for budget accommodation, be aware that English is not always spoken (try Italian, German or Greek) and ask about their back-up generator
if you'd like the heating or a/c to work. For the full hospitality experience, click to
couchsurfing.com, where a few dozen kind locals offer free use of their couch for you to crash on for a few nights.
The room prices we list include breakfast unless mentioned otherwise. Hotel categories are based on the price of the cheapest double room, not on the erratic local star system. Prices are often quoted in euros, but generally have to be paid in Albanian lek.
