The breakfast was AMAZING! We personally are not a fan of buffet breakfasts and was very glad that they provide you with an individual breakfast. It is present very well. It was all delicious. The owner served the breakfast and gave us a description of each of the items, with most of it being homemade and/or locally sourced. The quality of the breakfast, including the drinks were top notch. The staff we met (owner and his son) were friendly, welcoming and relaxed. The bedroom was comfortable with a cozy feel, it was extremely clean and well presented. We were able to leave our luggage in reception whilst we went out for the day which was really helpful. The WiFi was reliable. The hotel is right by the centre yet still quiet for a good nights sleep. I would definitely recommend this hotel and if we return to Tirana we will stay here again.

Astonishing breakfast - with such a wide variety of ingredients - but what impressed me most was the cleaning lady. I stupidly left my Apple AirPods in the room (and wouldn’t have noticed for hours - and I was leaving that day). She brought them straight to me as I was settling the bill. Then later I realised I (even more stupidly) left my treasured books on the window sill behind the curtain. I returned two hours later to find her with my books, waiting for me to return. Excellent, honest woman. (I gave her a very good tip).

👍: •very good location- city centre •amazing breakfast ( organic, fresh, very special for a hotel) , maybe the best i’ve eaten •the room was very clean, a little bit oldish but i knew from the photos 👎🏻 •it was a bit cold untill i found how the climate works • it was no one at the reception when we arrive, we have to look after someone in the hotel for about 10-15 minutes untill we found a man ( I didn’t think it was okay that no one was waiting for us at the reception; I searched the entire hotel for someone until I found someone. It was a man who merely told us where the reception was in a vague way without making it clear, and he didn’t come to help us.) • hard to pay for the service; every day we tried to pay, but they said “tomorrow” every day. We succes to pay in the last day… it was a bit hard, bacause it was a stress this fact ( we tried to pay by card, but the POS wasn’t working; I paid in euros, and they weren’t going to give me change, so they gave me LEK at a very poor exchange rate)

We stayed here for 4 nights & were treated like royalty. The hotel is in an excellent location, a few minutes walk to the square & castle. The staff were so friendly & accommodating & couldn’t do enough for us. The room was spotless & had a safe, fridge etc. the bed was very comfortable. The shower was good with lots of hot water & clean towels slippers, toiletries & a hairdryer. We had breakfast included & it was delicious & so much of it. The food was made fresh every morning & included eggs, fresh fruit, juice & pastries/cakes & is served to your table. We also ate dinner here as the food at breakfast was so good, we were not disappointed it was excellent. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Tirana don’t hesitate to book this hotel. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Tirana.

I had a good stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptionally kind and welcoming. The receptionist was attentive and made the check-in process smooth and pleasant. The highlight of my stay was definitely the breakfast. It was fantastic— well home-made prepared, fresh and diverse, and served personally by the owner, which made it feel extra special. You can truly see how much care and attention the owner puts into it. I also really enjoyed the restaurant on the terrace, which offered a lovely atmosphere—perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal with a view on the surroundings. The room was impeccable and super clean, with thoughtful little touches like complimentary minted water that were so charming. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a warm atmosphere, excellent service, and a memorable breakfast experience. Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable.

I had a truly great experience staying at Hotel Boutique Restaurant Gloria. From the moment I arrived, everything felt smooth and welcoming. The hotel is beautifully designed, with a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that makes it easy to relax. My room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated — perfect for unwinding after a long day. What stood out the most, though, was the incredible staff. They were kind, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed, whether it was local recommendations or small requests during my stay. Their attention and hospitality really made a difference. The location is also convenient — close to everything, but still peaceful. And having a high-quality restaurant right downstairs was a huge plus. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I highly recommend Hotel Boutique Restaurant Gloria to anyone looking for comfort, service, and a truly pleasant experience.

Best Hotel Experience Ever—A Stay to Remember! I can’t recommend this hotel enough! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the main square and the bus station, making it super convenient. The rooms are spacious with incredibly comfortable beds, and even the towels smelt fresh and clean. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, and the hotel went the extra mile by providing water bottles infused with lemon, mint, and ginger daily—such a thoughtful touch! The food was outstanding. Breakfast was a set menu, but every day there was something unique to enjoy. Having travelled to over 50 countries, I can confidently say this hotel served the most delicious breakfasts I’ve ever had. The hotel staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout my stay. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and an unforgettable experience, this is the place to be!

Goni, who owns the hotel, and Gazi, who works in the restaurant, and all of the staff who work here, are fabulous! They bent over backwards to ensure we had a great stay, even helping us to arrange taxis to get where we wanted to go. The hotel is older but extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location is fantastic and we walked everywhere to tour the city. The breakfasts were an event, and they were the best we've ever had! After exploring the city, we enjoyed going to the restaurant for a drink to end each day.

No negative comments at all! This was a great choice and we'd go back in a heartbeat.

The hotel had a great location and this made it very easy to access the made sights of Tirana. The hotel owner was so helpful, and was also along with his wife the driving force behind the breakfasts. These are made for you (not buffet) and are amazing. This was a significantly better than any other breakfast we had during our trip. Hotel was very elegant and clean and tidy. I would thoroughly recommend this Hotel for anybody visiting Tirana.

The only very slight negative was the space in the room to layout 2 medium sized suit cases, but it was manageable so not a very big issue.

Very charming hotel, with a friendly and attentive staff that really goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. I was unlucky and needed medical attention during our stay - which is scary and stressful when you are abroad- but the staff was so helpful and accommodating, both with helping to get an ambulance, and to make sure I had everything I needed afterwards. The hotel is small and quiet, on a one-way street that is walking distance to the Skenderbeu-plaza, and a welter of small cafes, corner shops, burek-places and bread shops. We had a room with a king size bed with windows towards the back yard, and I can safely say I’ve never had such a peaceful night in such a central location. No noise from cars or parties is a huge thumbs up! The hotel’s restaurant is airy and light with windows all around so you get to take in the mosaic of the buildings from different areas of Albanias history that surrounds the hotel. The breakfast was truly delicious: with yoghurt, toast, jam, cake, omelette and fresh fruits - everything made fresh. The restaurant also seemed to be popular among locals, who came in for coffee, lunch or dinner. I cannot recommend it enough, and will definitely come back!
