Hotel Tradita

Busy hotel with a nice courtyard. Reasonable location, short walk to town. It's not my vibe with the wooden look but apparently is quite traditional. Bedroom....Hard bed, a sheet folded in half (make bed yourself) and no blanket. There's an air cooler in room. Bathroom small, mirror on door distorts your image! My shower did not get hot, just above cold at best. I probably wouldn't choose this place but was on a group tour. Restaurant was really good. Music stopped around 10.30pm No water bubbler to refill bottles.

The courtyard is attractive, but our rooms were uncomfortably small and dark. The bathrooms (excluding the shower) were the size of an aeroplane lavatory. We had a reasonable dinner in the courtyard one evening, but breakfast was disappointing. This was the least satisfactory place we stayed during our week in Albania and not what we'd expected from other reviews. It's more a backpacker hostel than a hotel.

I stayed for one night as part of a group tour. It’s a quirky hotel which was founded in 1694. My room was on the ground floor off the courtyard, with a comfortable bed and a small bathroom with plenty of hot water and a good shower. The shampoo/shower gel is the wonderful black olive type that’s available in hammam and there’s a small hairdryer in the bathroom. The wifi was good and there was a fridge in the room. Breakfast is a selection of pastries and cooked items. I had fresh yogurt with walnuts, halva, strawberries and cherries. They serve filter coffee and mountain tea. The hotel is not far from the central pedestrian area, yet the room was very quiet. I’d stay again.
