The driver who picked us up from the airport was incredibly friendly and welcoming. On arrival at the hotel, check in was swift. The receptionist showed my colleague and I to our rooms: 20 and 21, at the back of the hotel. Each had a single bed and all the necessary amenities (although my TV didn't work), but no more... More

Stayed here one month. The most unbelievable staff who tries to help in any way possible. Very personable, caring. The rooms are quite nice for the very reasonable price. Like many places in Albania, there is a problem with sewer gas smell, but if you cover the drain in the shower and adjacent floor vent with a towel, you will... More

The location of the hotel is brilliant - being just off Skanderbeg Square you're just around the corner from the National History Museum and no more than 15-20 mins walk from the Blok. Quite a small hotel which gives it a lot of character. I liked the peacock feather decorations throughout although wasn't a fan of the caged animals... The... More

We stayed for only one night before heading off to the beach but quite enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very central and there were lots of restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood. Walking at night in the area felt very comfortable but I think that is true of most of Albania. Our twin room had a lovely, large balcony... More

Yes, the staff are very kind and helpful but I experienced this from all Albanian people I met. Cannot complain about the restaurant either. Typical tasty Balkan food. Location is OK too but my (single) room. .. Yes, it was quiet but it was very small and no comparison to the double rooms I could look into when they were... More

Stayed at the Tafaj Hotel July 7-9 and I had a great time. The entire staff was wonderful and very helpful. Our room was very clean with private bathroom with all anemities, A/C, colored T.V. and a huge private balcony facing the street. Bed was very comfortable. Food was absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced. Very close to main square. Would definitely... More

I stayed 3 days in the hotel and the receptionists were very helpfull all the time, with good English. The room had all the necessary facilities and was cleaned every day. There is a computer in the room with normal Internet speed. Except the hotel's restaurant, there is a large tavern, which was not noisy. Plenty of birds in cages... More

Stayed three nights at Villa Tafaj on a longer swing through the Balkans. Best thing is the central location only five minutes from Tirana's main square and about half the distance from the downtown airport bus stop. It's also close to the avenue (between the main square and train station) where you catch long distance buses to other countries around... More

Firstly the name of this hotel is misspelt onTrip Adviser; it should read Vila with one 'l'. This is the oldest hotel in Tirana and still has plenty of majestic glory though all the facilities have been updated and modernised. Vila Tafaj is ideally sited within 200m, of the main square and for a tourist this is ideal because you... More
