Doanesia Premium Hotel & Spa

Great place for our short stay in Albania. Wish we had time to go into town for dinner. Hotel restaurant was adequate, but not the dining experience we had hoped for. The hotel offers lots of wellness opportunities. We took advantage of the massages by two excellent practitioners. The physio massage was just what I needed and my wife enjoyed a custom massage as well. Swimming pool area was overrun by children. Appears this is a popular weekend destination for families.

From the moment that you enter the hotel, it’s like you’ve stepped into another world. The reception area is beautiful and likewise are the staff that greet you at the reception. My husband & i were given complimentary juices, which were delicious, and given an extensive and helpful run through of what to expect from the hotel experience. The staff were amazingly helpful. We stayed in the comfort double room which was large and clean. It had a balcony and complimentary slippers & toiletries. The only negative was the heating, it wasn’t warm enough for us despite getting help from the staff. The shower and tap had great pressure and were hot. The bed was extremely comfortable and clean. The room had a well-stocked mini bar which doubled as a fridge. Complimentary breakfast was provided as part of the stay which had an array of hot and cold foods. Spa use was complimentary too - available for use how many times you want throughout your stay. The facilities were excellent. The hotel is within walking distance from terminal D bus stop which gets easier to navigate to the more you do it. Traffic in Tirana is crazy so I wouldn’t recommend getting taxi unless you want to pay - as bus is way cheaper and you’ll be sitting in the same traffic. The food from the restaurant was delicious too. Unfortunately a medical emergency left my husband and I unable to do all we planned to on our itinerary, but we wish to come back to experience more of this beautiful hotel and city.

Stay was great.Room is clean, spa facilities excellent.Easy to get to the south and north bus terminal.Only thing I didnt like was there was no cover on the duvet.
