Hotel off the main drag

The hotel was clean and quiet off of the main street. The rooms are on the top two floors of the building. Double rooms can be made into triples with an extra bed. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Disliked: Staff & service

Almost got cheated of 300 Euro by the staff.

We were charged 360 Euro in local currency for one night instead of 36 Euro. Luckily we checked the online currency calculator to find the error, but the desk clerk claimed he was right; 46000 Leke. He finally gave up. The bathrooms are tiny and stupidly organized; when you sit on the toilet you can't stand up because the wash sink is directly ABOVE the toilet... you will have to see for yourself. The light switch is not by the door, rather it is hidden behind the closet BEHIND the door. The surrounding is very filthy, yet no worse than the major part of Durres which we will never visit again. Still, the VALUE of this hotel is OK, as long as you have very low expectations. If you're lucky you could come across the owners son who is fluent in English.

Nice hotel located right next to the beach

The hotel is located only a few minutes from the beach, many restaurants and small shops. The room was pretty big and sufficiently furnished. The staff was as helpful and kind as humanly possible and they made everything they could to make us feel good there, providing information on where to go and what to do, inviting us for coffee and letting us taste their home brewed beer. It is a family run business which adds to the welcoming feeling you get when arriving there. Although I wouldn’t recommend the city if you’re not into crowded places (including the beaches) and touristic restaurants, the old town is nice to visit (6km away - EUR 5.- for a taxi) and if you have a car, there are nice quiet beaches only about 15-20km away. And a trip to Tirana (40minutes away) is very easy to do and worth it ! The only thing that could be improved is to add AC because it was so warm we had to sleep with the window open and because of the train honking every time it passes, the stray dogs howling all night and the roosters yelling since 5am, it was a bit hard to get a full night of sleep. ;) Would definitely recommend staying in Albion hotel if you go to Durres.

A really bad experience without seeing the hotel

I booked a room for two persons about two weeks before arrival. I chose this hotel as it seemed to have all conveniences. Two days before the actual night I received an e-mail from the hotel if we still planned to go there. I answered "Yes". One day before the booked day I received another e-mail informing me that they were receiving a group and our room was given to them. We were offered an apartment somewhere in the city instead of the hotel room. As a compensation they offered us four cups of beer and a glass of wine... I refused it and immediately searched for another accommodation. On the evening of the day when we were originally booked to I have received an e-mail at 7:30PM from them that they still can provide us a room. They sent another e-mail apologising for the inconveniences the next day. I have never heard about such a harsh and unpolite way of handling customers / hotel guests.

For the money not a bad little hotel

The hotel was not bad but the city is just so miserable that the negative vibes affect one in one's evaluation of the hotel as well .Outside the hotel entrance there was a steady number of stray dogs ,a regular sight at Durres .Once you stepped out into the street there was garbage everywhere and a general feeling of a town simply left to rot

A fuir

Nous avons trouvé l'hotel entre une voie ferrée désffectée et des rues non éclairées, bien loin du centre ville. La "vue partielle sur la mer" laisse à peine deviner l'eau si l'on se penche un peu... Pour la chambre, taille correcte, quelques traces de moustiques écrasés sur la peinture qui semblait récente. Ménage non fait, SDB sale, selles au fond des toilettes, un demi rouleau de papier toilettes avec ses deux copains vides à côté et un sur le porte rouleau. De nombreux moustiques squattent la douche,malgré une longue chasse. Une fuite d'eau.. Nous esperons qu'elle vient de la douche (pas de débi)et non des toilettes qui la jouxtent, mais l'éclairage est très faible, même pour une ambiance romantique, impossible de savoir. Mini bar vide. Nous entendons largement la vie des voisins qui n'en faisaient pourtant pas des tonnes et malgré le son de leur TV. La climatisation ne fonctionne pas dans notre chambre, les receptionnistes rechignent à aider et nous disent qu'on se trompe. Il a fallu solliciter 3 personnes pour finir par obtenir un ventilateur la 2e nuit. La 1ere nuit nous nous sommes resignes a dormir la porte du couloir ouverte qui lui était frais, car nous ne recevions pas d'aide. A noter, le café du bar est imbuvable. Attention quartier sans plaques d'égouts au centre de la route (rare), vous pourriez perdre une roue...

A complete scam

I should up at the hotel and it was completely trashy outside and trash outside. The manager said she wouldn't have a room available until noon. I came back at 12:30 and she she took me to this room with 3 children's sized beds and cartoon bedding to match. I could not believe it. She left and I went into the bathroom and lifted the toilet seat and it fell off. Then there was not any water for the toilet to flush. I went back to the front desk and said I wanted a refund and she said she would give me another guests room. The first room did not at all represent what the room was to be. She then took me took another room and before leaving she said there was not any water ant hopefully it would be working by 2 pm. I could not believe it and went and asked for a refund. I had just paid her in cash and she gave me my money back accept for 28€. Some how her trashy hotel is my problem and its classed under a 3 star rating. Hotels . Com has not been helpful in the past with issues and something's needs to be done about this.

pas d'accueil à l'arrivée, emplacement difficile à trouver et très mauvais, dans une rue défoncée et malpropre. On ignore qu'on prend un petit-déjeuner, qu'on prépare à la hâte... Le personnel est gentil mais l'organisation n'est pas à la hauteur. De plus le prix est élevé pour le pays.

Not what we expected

This was totally not what we expected. The service was ok, but that was before we saw the room. Arriving to the hotel was when my doubts came up because it was inside the building blocks and the hotel building looked quite dirty. The reception was also small and the hallways were full of garbage. We also noticed that there was no stairs out of the floors, but only an elevator which was quite slow. When we finally got to the room it smelled like piss or womit. We left as soon as we could and checked in to another hotel. I don't recommend this one to anyone.

Włascicielka zas była nachalna, wciąz dopytując, dlaczego nie jemy na miejscu, tylko na mieście.Dałabym hotelowi nawet piątkę, gdyby nie wydarzenia w ostatni dzień. blokowała sie karta do pokoju i dziewczyna recepcji dała nam kartę złamaną. Przed opuszczeniem hotelu właścicielka zażądała 5 Euro, bo twierdziła, że mąż musiał nosić ją w kieszeni z tyłu. Recepcjonistka miała w szufladzie multum uszkodzonych kart.

Beskidt hotel med dårlig service

Jeg har boet på mange hoteller, i mange forskellige byer rundt omkring i verden. Men der her var uden tvivl det dårligste jeg har oplevet. Selv efter Albansk standard. Jeg er ikke kræsen og kan sagtens grine af det elendige håndværk og den mangelfulde vedligeholdelse der gennemsyrer hotellet og dets inventar. Jeg kan også leve med halvdelen af det listede inventar mangler (fx et tv) eller er defekt (køleskabet virkede ikke og lugtede af kemikalier). Hvad jeg dog ikke kan acceptere er håndklæderne lugter slemt og wc'et er beskidt og altanen flyder med cigaretskodder! Eller at personalet låser sig ind på værelserne uden aftale og uden at banke på! Der står der er wifi, men selv om man står under routeren på gangen virker det ikke. Personalet blev ved med at fortælle os vi bare kunne komme ned i baren hvor det skulle virker. Men her kunne man ikke få plads, da personalet selv optog de fleste pladser og var tydeligt beruset. Vi forlod værelset før morgenmaden efter kun 1 nat da vi ikke kunne holde ud at være der.

New hotel, still being finished, near beach

This is one of those hotels that will constantly be in a state of "not yet finished." a lot of small things not completed or shakily done. Having said that, it is a good budget hotel near the beach, good for families. I would recommend to those on a budget.

Et godt hotel

Hotelet yder en god service,værelserne er flotte og ganske rummelige med minibar,tv og balkon. Hotelet ligger afsondret fra vejen i et blandet bolig og ferie område,hvor man trygt kan færdes og hvor de lokale er hjælpsomme og venlige.. i gå afstand findes flere fine private strand områder hvor det er muligt at få to liggestole og parasol for en flad 20 er .. værelserne var rene og sengetøj og håndklæder blev skiftet alle dage.. morgenmaden var lækker albansk morgenmad med diverse tilbehør .. hotelet har eget bryggeri og laver en fremragende pilsner øl efter tysk opskrift... har været 2 gange på dette hotel og er yderst tilfreds .. denne gang blev det til 9 nætter på albion ..

Topp service

Flott uke på Albion. Gratis WiFi kun i resepsjon/bar, ikke på rom. Veldig gode senger, god aircondition, men manglet stoler. Spilte ingen rolle for meg, da jeg sjelden oppholder meg mye på rommet. Hjemmekoselig service i høy klasse. Kort vei til stranden, men mye søppel generelt i hele området. Følte meg alltid trygg, og gate- og strandselgere er ikke så pågående som mange andre steder. Prisnivået er svært lavt i området.

Hotellet var generelt bra. På minussiden anføres at adressen som hotels.com oppga ikke fantes på GPS, noe hotellet sa de skulle ordne opp i. På hotels.com sine sider står det at det er gratis wi-fi på hele hotellet, men dette stemte ikke. Hotellet forklarte at det var en feil på wi-fi systemet, og zat internett bare virket i resepsjonen. Dette burde vært angitt på sidene til hotels.com. Dette var det negative. På plussiden anføres at hotellet er røykfritt, og at rommene var store. Vi fikk faktisk to rom og hadde mer enn nok plass. Madrassene i sengene var særdeles bra, og de formet seg etter kroppen, noe som ga god sovekvalitet. Det var stor balkong med utsikt mot sjøen. Frokosten var meget bra, og servicen fra de ansatte var langt høyere enn hva man normalt forventer.
