Hotel Boutique Restorant GLORIA

We'd been really looking forward to our stay here based on the reviews, but unfortunately were left disappointed. On arrival the room we were taken to a double room when we had booked a twin. After a lot of discussion between the staff about whether Expedia had passed the request on and what could be done, they did convert the room to a twin, but we were made to feel uncomfortable and that they were doing us a favour. The room itself is lovely, a little small but spotlessly clean, with super comfortable beds, good air-con and a great, spacious bathroom. However noise from the street can be heard until late at night and starts again early in the morning from the nearby market and school. Breakfast was honestly a bit of a spectacle. The food is all very lovely and it is obvious a lot of work goes into the several-course spread, but it feels over the top and there is so much waste. The encounter was made a little odd by the restaurant manager coming over mid-way and removing the salad garnish from our plates - I'm still not sure why. We were also charged for our hot drinks with breakfast which wasn't made clear, and then short-changed as the hotel didn't have the right change available. The location is great - walking distance to Skanderberg Square, all the sites and the airport bus, but overall we would stay elsewhere when returning to Tirana.

Wonderful little hotel, just a few minutes walk from Skanderbeg Square and the bus station. It was clean, and my single room was large enough, had a lovely en-suite with a great shower. The staff were so friendly - welcoming and helpful (printed my boarding pass last minute without a problem - Ryanair travellers beware, can’t use app for return flight from Tirana!), and the guys in the restaurant were just lovely. As others have mentioned, the breakfast was incredible! So much of it, I didn’t need to eat again until a light meal in the evening! I’d love to go back to Tirana, and if I do would definitely head back to Hotel Boutique Gloria.

Very kind and helpful staff. Super fantastic breakfast. Excellent toiletries in the bathroom

Very comfortable stay. It is a great location for sights and restaurants. The hotel restaurant is amazing. The breakfast is amazing b

We loved our stay at Gloria! The bed and pillows were great. The quietness was also very welcomed. The breakfast though was beyond compare with four courses, including amazing juices, fruit, cheeses, bread, and so much more. I would come back for the breakfast over and over!

This hotel is one of the best I have stayed at. The rooms are very nice and clean. The staff really make all of the difference though, they are all so polite and helpful with anything that you might need. The included breakfast is also delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Tirana.

We were greeted very warmly. The most surprising element was the 3 course sit down breakfast. Soup, omelette, 6 kinds of fruit, cold veggies, cheese, bacon followed by pancake with fruit, yogourt and cake. If course fresh blended juice and cappuccino. We recommend this small hotel highly. It is a short walk from square.

Amazing hotel! Fantastic service with the most friendly staff. The most amazing breakfast we had in all Albania. Comfortable rooms with nice bathroom. Perfect location in the middle of the city. Would recommend!

This was a fantastic place to stay in Tirana!! Beautiful rooms, really nicely decorated and laid out and really convenient location. The staff were really fantastic also!! We particularly appreciated the waiter in the breakfast room who was so enthusiastic about the fantastic food and was really helpful. The lady on the front desk was also really helpful and friendly and checked in a few times to make sure our visit was progressing well. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return

An excellent family-run boutique hotel! Everyone was very professional, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were awesome. Very clean and comfy room. The restaurant on the top floor serves very tasty dinners. Also well located in the center of the city.

This hotel is a real gem. The staff and the owner are very friendly and helpful and go far beyond their duties to make sure that all guests are happy. My room was very nice and the breakfast was simply fantastic. Thanks a lot for a lovely stay.

Nice quite, clean place with character. Very friendly, professional and friendly staff

I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. Staff was very friendly. Property was clean and service was excellent. Room a little small, but it was neat with new furniture and comfortable bed. It was very quiet with no noise at all. Food service was pretty good. Restaurant was on the terrace, where you can eat dinner, and also free breakfast was served, which was pretty good. Hotel is small. I give 5 stars.

Comfortable room. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, from the owner, to the reception staff, the waiters and the cleaning staff. Every single member of staff we interacted with was lovely. Location is great, just off one corner of the main square. Dinner in the restaurant was very good. The breakfast is among the best I’ve had in any hotel anywhere. Truly exceptional.

The hotel is in an excellent location in the center! If you have ever been to San Francisco, this place would fit in. The breakfast is over the top and they have a pizza oven downstairs for a late night snack!if I am ever in Tirana again, I’m staying here!

Wonderful stay at the Hotel Boutique Gloria! Centrally located, friendly and gracious staff and the breakfast that was included was amazing!

Nice, very clean hotel just 5 mins from Skanderbeg Square

Fantastic location in the centre of Tirana. Friendly and extremely helpful staff. The most amazing breakfast I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Clean rooms. Everything A Jon

I stayed at the hotel 8 days.I loved the hotel, is a pearl at capital citi, everything was so close, hotel was very clean , quiet, food at restaurant was delicious.very friendly and very helpful staff. Fabulous breakfast in great setting with view. Highly recommend this hotel to any person who needs to stay within the city of Tirana. I will come back again.

This is the gem of Tirana. We spent 5 days there in September '21. This Central location just off a main road couldn't be better. We could walk almost anywhere. Stayed in the larger room which was comfortable and spotless. Staff and service was beyond expectations. The manager was attentive and asked daily how was our visit. When I commented the internet was somewhat slow one day, he had the company send out a technician who concluded it was the internet company fault during upgrade process. When I complimented how refreshing the breakfast water with mint, ginger and lime was one morning, I found a complementary bottle in the minibar that afternoon. This is a small 6 room boutique hotel and if you want something quaint, quiet and in a safe central location you won't be disappointed. The included breakfast in the rooftop restaurant was the best we have had at any hotel anywhere, and we travel extensively. I usually do not review hotels, but this hotel is a great value/experience choice.
