Rogner Hotel Tirana

“Brief stay in Tirana with friends”

Overall, it was a nice hotel that offered good value for money and is in a great location. The staff, in general, were friendly, especially Kevin at reception, who was very approachable.

Overall, it was a nice hotel that offered good value for money and is in a great location. The staff, in general, were friendly, especially Kevin at reception, who was very approachable. However, the lady at the spa was extremely rude, which was disappointing. The room I stayed in was nice, but some of my friends' rooms weren't as good, as they hadn't been refurbished yet. Breakfast was decent, and we had no issues with it. We were able to park our car at the hotel, but the staff at the car park weren’t very accommodating when they couldn’t find a space. On one occasion, we had to ask the hotel staff to resolve the situation for us.

“My new Albanian Family”

A six-night stay here could have extended much longer. Mostly due to how hard the staff worked to make my visit feel like home, I encourage first-time travelers to Albania to book a reservation with Rogner. Apart from the room lacking adequate blankets and missing an iron, I slept comfortably. The toilets and showers worked seamlessly. Most restaurants in Tirane do not offer barside dinning service, which in the USA, is a given. Every night, I ate wonderful Albanian food and chatted it up with Vanessa, Romando, Bluinia and formed a nice friendship with Florian. Florian helped me learn Albanian, which came in handy when I navigated the neighborhoods. Also, there's Julietta, the Food & Beverage manager, who really went of her way to give me tips and tricks of how to integrate in Albanian society. If I could hire anyone, I would have to model the staff. I look forward to coming back to revisit Rogner, which I consider my Albanian family.

“Very good hotel in the center of Tirana”

Love this hotel. The location is great. It has max 4 floors or so, so it gives you more comfy and homey feeling. Room very well equipped and maintained. All staff is nice and ready to help. Inside, there is a beautiful garden where you can eat or have a coffee or drink. Would go there again.

“Just lacks finesse.”

Stayed here at the end of our tour of Albania as a treat. I really wanted to like the hotel. It had been pointed out when we walked around Tirana as a high end hotel popular with politicians and the elite.

Stayed here at the end of our tour of Albania as a treat. I really wanted to like the hotel. It had been pointed out when we walked around Tirana as a high end hotel popular with politicians and the elite. Arrived in the morning before our room was ready so we left our bags in left luggage with a ticket and went off to see some sights. On return our room was ready but unbelievably the ticket we had been given did not match the ticket on our luggage. Ok, mistakes happen but the member of staff questioned us about whether it was our bag?! As if on check in I want to take someone else's clothes to my room? Our room was a basic room, which was fine. Lacked character but would do the job. Reasonable size, good shower, chocolates on your pillow! There was also a kettle. We sat in the gardens that afternoon and had a cool drink in the gardens. Not sure why they needed to charge ten times the price of a coke though; I guess it is reinforcing the exclusivity of the space?! We did really enjoy the pool area, which is a good reason to stay here - not sure there are many outdoor pools in central Tirana. Good sunbeds, did not use the bar! Another positive thing about the hotel is the location; you are in walking distance of the famous Pyramid and Skandenberg square, plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from too. Breakfast in the hotel is excellent and was included in the price of our room. American standard buffet experience with a strong selection of hot and cold food. On our last night there was a private function in the hotel, partying on when we went to bed. We rose early for a flight but the garden was still littered with dirty glasses, overflowing ashtrays and rubbish. I can't believe this is the standard of a flagship, international hotel. This was compounded when we left by the fact there was no one to check us out on reception for several minutes but three male members of staff were stood in the doors to the garden smoking. Once they finished they came to check us out. So a mixed review. Great location, average room, lovely pool but lacks the standards of service you might expect in a hotel that is supposed to be at the top end of the market.
