Areela Boutique Hotel

I booked a room with a balcony that I was always use which is in the main building however reception has sent me to some apartment which is not what I wanted. I had no access to Wi-Fi, Didn’t have breakfast and when I asked I was told is closed. When I asked to grab a coffee I was also refused and told that the coffee machine is now off. Been coming at this hotel for way too many times but this time my experience was not great. I am a repeat customer and not a lot of care is given which is a shame. Not sure I want to come back at this please… maybe I will give it one more chance..

Really liked the decor of this boutique hotel. Breakfast included was tasty and the coffee was great. Staff are friendly and helpful and the parking included is secure and convenient. Recommend this hotel for a stay in Tirana.

Good place to stay, clean and private parking

When we arrived. We had booked a superior room with balcony. But the owner of the hotel hadn't notified us that they had leaking water in their hotel so the room wasn't available. He put us in the basement instead, in a smaller room. The room was moisty and loud noise from the waterpump. He gave us 5€ discount and said we would get another price charge from hotels.com but hotels.com did not change the rate for us even after we made a complain to them and they contacted the hotel. The owner of the hotel also gave us a beer after we complain that it's not ok to just change our booking without noticing us. The breakfast was great and the interior design very beautiful.

My first trip to Tirana so didn’t know what to expect but wasn’t disappointed. Friendly people, inexpensive and felt safe, beautiful city lots of things to see and do, cycle friendly, nice restaurants etc I will definitely come back for a longer stay and combine the trip with a beach stay as the beaches are rumoured to be clean and very nice 😊

Loved the decor, very cute. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was excellent!

Excellent stay with my daughter at this cozy hotel. Nice and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff.

I was served by Artemisa & Marylina (I may have gotten their names spelt wrongly but that’s how they are pronounced) & their service was outstanding! They deserve more recognition for their work & their ability to go the extra mile in their service. Both of these ladies are more than capable receptionists. I know this because Artemisa works the morning shift & while there are walk-ins & check-outs, she handles the operations smoothly while preparing breakfasts for the guests. Talk about multitasking effortlessly. There were self-entitled guests who came down past the breakfast window & still had the cheek to ask for their breakfast in multiple courses but Artemisa duly obliged and still serve them like kings. Hope this doesn’t allow future guests to take advantage of her kindness though. For Marylina, there were multiple check ins at one point & she was brilliant with her service, serving everyone with a huge smile & a big heart. To the bosses, these employees (along with the guy who works at night, Andelinde) deserve a raise. They delight not only me but other guests as well. Some of the employees are students that still have classes to attend but despite that fact, they work as though they have been at the job for long, and they have definitely excelled at it. Reward them, I say. Reward them handsomely.

The is a really beautiful boutique hotel- the rooms were very pretty and comfortable and the staff were really friendly and always on hand to help. It was really well located just 10 mins walk from main square. Breakfast was really tasty!

Lovely hotel - clean and nicely decorated rooms. 24 hour desk with helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Location is a 10min walk to the main sights and around 20mina to the Blokku area where the restaurants and bars are.

Well located near centre of town, 10min walking distance from main attractions. Boutique hotel style decoration but already a bit 'used' room (especially bathroom). We liked the deco. Friendly service in many languages. Staff explains you how to get everywhere and is very helpful for any questions. Small breakfast tables, food & coffee was good.

I booked online for Superior Double with King size bed and city view, but when I checked-in there was no view and the room was in the basement. I have complained and offered me a single room with a view, but I did choose to stay at the superior room. The receptionist has manage the problem well and she even offered me a refund. The hotel over all is nice and clean, it looks the same as advertised online photos. It’s walking distance to the square. The breakfast was good, the staff are friendly and helpful, I will definitely stay in this hotel again.

Areela is a great little hotel. The staff go out of their way to be helpful. The lobby and breakfast area is very cosy and cheerful and the breakfast very nice. My only reservation is that there was no place to hang a towel or place in the shower for soap or toiletries so I had to leave them on the floor of the shower. Overall, I was very pleased with the hotel.

Boutique hotel with fun de or, clean and comfortable. Rooms and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and a short walk to most things we wanted to visit. Perfect for a visit to Tirana.

Had a good stay in this hotel, lovely staff and a very tidy hotel

Nice hotel, generous breakfast, friendly staff. Was over for the football and the staff were great.

Newly renovated hotel, on a quiet street, 10-minutes walk from the city centre. Friendly and helpful front desk staff. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Very beautiful and clean hotel. Good value for money ! Walking distance from the city centre

Breakfast is good but no refills of coffee.Bathtub is not separate from toilet makes it all wet after bath.

Paid for a superior room with balcony and city views and ended up in the basement with noisy street and smelly bathroom. Excuse was someone else didn't like that room so they gave them ours. Had to coerce a free breakfast as the hotel never even attempted to make up for the error. Also the street the hotel is does not look great, there are many better located hotels in the area
