Hotel Restaurant Bujtina e Gjelit

We had a fantastic stay at this unique and atmospheric hotel. Tucked away in a quieter neighborhood, it’s a short walk from the center of Tirana and offers easy access to restaurants, shops, and everything you might need—without the noise and crowds. The hotel itself has a very traditional Albanian style, full of charm and character. It almost feels like staying in a castle, especially with the intimate, old-world vibe of the building and pool area. The rooms were cozy and beautifully decorated, with very comfortable beds that ensured a great night’s sleep. The pool was clean and well-maintained, surrounded by greenery and wildflowers that created a peaceful, natural atmosphere. It was a lovely place to unwind, especially with meals served right beside it—fresh air, great views, and a tranquil setting. I personally loved the turtles (3) that you could pet, feed breakfast (leaves) and look while taking a swim. Breakfast was decent. The real culinary highlight was the traditional food served at the restaurant—absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with care. The staff were friendly and provided warm hospitality, even if the service had a laid-back, casual feel typical of the region. All in all, a special and authentic experience we’re very glad to have found. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a restful retreat with charm, character, and great food—away from the hustle but close enough to enjoy all that Tirana has to offer.

Really nice traditional hotel. The bedroom was lovely and full of character, the bed was extremely comfortable and it was quiet in the room. The breakfast could be improved and there was construction work going on which made breakfast less peaceful. Overall a lovely spot to stay in Tirana away from the busyness of the city.

The most wonderful spot in the middle of Tirana. If you want a place you can go to every time you want exclusivity and a beautiful view, you go there. Was here with a friend for the first time today to test the pool and the place is like a piece of paradise that helps you connect with yourself. Wonderful atmosphere, bird sounds, small turtles and all the beautiful green color all around. Exceptional staff, I must say the manager of the place is a wonderful person, capable for the job like no other I have ever seen before. Very friendly, attending to every need and trying to be helpful even for things that he is not obligated to. The rest of the staff were friendly and great too, the food was fresh and tasty. A person who values inner peace, should go there and find it. Considering I’ve tried many luxurious places around all Albania and have not even seen 50% of the effort and service I got here, this is my Top #1 place and hardly believe anything can top it off.

An oasis of calm with a peaceful environment in a busy city. The breakfast is excellent, as is the teamwork of the staff, especially the manager Azis, who makes the hotel run like clockwork. Nothing is too much trouble as Azis has a unique method of solving any problems..as we did when we arrived and our luggage was left in the UK. As soon as this was located the following afternoon, Azis drove us in his own car to the airport to collect and return back to enjoy the rest of our stay. The hotel is unique in its decor, with a very big swimming pool, which is very welcoming after a hot day visiting, and staff that all together make this gem work like clockwork. The restaurant is temporarily being re structured and was closed as from the 30th of April, which is a shame as the meals we had during our 3 day stay were A1. The breakfast caters to all guests from around the world's continent, with tasty foods constantly being replenished.. Our room , No1, was great for our short 3 day Tirana stay. The hotel is perfectly located for local city attractions. There is a lift and disabled access throughout the property. A truly calm and astounding hotel ...this only works by the amazing staff dedication from cooks to cleaners, and especially to Aziz, Ladio and Endri...thank you all for a fantastic stay.
