Mondial Hotel

När vi checkade in hade hotellet tydligen ingen information om vår rumsförfrågan, men när kollegan kollade fanns rumsförfrågan där och de försökte hitta ett passande rum för oss. Det löste sig. Rummet är snyggt och modernt inrett, sängen är mycket bekväm och stor, men jag tyckte att badrummet var föråldrat och inte uppdaterat. Frukosten var medioker, baconet var kallt och äggen var ljumma. Hotellet låg lite utanför, promenaden in till stan tar ca 20 minuter (till Skanderbeg Square). Allt som allt en vistelse som var okej, men inte enastående.

The Mondial Hotel is a gem of an experience. It is very clean, attractive and inviting. The rooftop bar and pool are delightful, with great views. The lobby bar and restaurant are very nice, with an excellent menu. The breakfast is extensive and makes for an easy and tasty start to the day.

Stayed here for 3 nights to explore Tirana. The hotel is approx 23 mins from the main square so was a bit of a walk if you wanted to come back to the hotel after a day out and change for dinner. We had early dinners in the centre and came back in the evening to the hotel so did not cause us a problem. Both the rooms and the rest of the hotel was very clean. The bedrooms were more traditional whilst the bathrooms were very modern with a nice shower. The bar was quiet but nice, and there is a restaurant within the hotel but we did not try it out. Breakfast was very good, with fried eggs/omelette, sausage and bacon, bread and jams, great fruit and pastries, yoghurt etc. Eating a good breakfast meant that we did not stop for food during the day and had an early dinner. There was a problem with the hotel pickup but that affected a number of people as we arrived at Tirana airport just before the US Secretary of State. Just one of those things. Returning to the airport was fine which the hotel organised as well as printing boarding passes as mobile versions are not yet allowed at the airport. Really enjoyed our stay here and as long as you don’t mind the walk to the centre the hotel is great.
