Hotel Antigone

The hotel is small and family-run and everyone is really friendly and helpful and speak good English. It's conveniently located not too far from the centre of town and there are loads of cafes, bars, restaurants, convenience shops and coffee shops nearby so you have plenty of choice for places to eat and drink. The rooms are modern and smart and some are newly renovated too. They have expanded into the apartment block next door as well and there are several rooms here which are useful if you are a larger group (we were an extended family of parents and in-laws and the arrangement worked really well) although being on the ground floor it did feel a bit dark and lacked a view. The garden is a lovely place to have breakfast (it's eggs and cold meats but is included in the price along with your first coffee) and is just what you need to start the day. You can order other items at a small charge - really there's no point in going anywhere else. The coffee is good and the food is good value. They are also happy to arrange taxis as well and it works out cheaper and more convenient than the airport bus. Area feels really safe too so no worries being out later after dark either. Definitely a place to consider if you like small, independent, good value hotels.

Antigone hotel is the sweetest retreat in Tirana central. Away from traffic and the crowd but still 15 to 20 minutes away, walking distance from all main sights. The owners are delightful and the mother cooks the most delicious breakfast omelette. Morning coffees are also great as good as the best one in Italy. Room is simple but cosy and the outside garden is very cute. Tirana is a great city but can be hectic at times and going to this hotel has given us a nice sweet retreat. Faleminderit!

The shower was blocked and quickly overflowed flooding the room. After cleaning it abit I informed the person in charge at the hotel and he was very angry and aggressive. He blamed me for it and threatened to charge for damage when there was obviously no damage. His English was very bad and he was very narcissistic. This is a very badly run hotel and I definitely do not recommend staying here, there are plenty of better options close by.

Very nicely located in a very interesting neighbourhood and very nice breakfast. Great value for money.

We used this place as a start and finish point for our trip. It was perfect for a late arrival on both trips, there is a local car park to drop the car off over night and very close/ easy to get out to the car park from. That was our main criteria. It was a 20 min walk to the main social area in Tirana.

Great all round hotel. Located in a quiet street but close to various restaurants and cafes. Approximately a 20 minute walk to the Skanderbeg Square and within walking distance of most of the main sites. Lovely outdoor sitting area as well as a cosy cafe in which to sit and relax in. Really friendly and helpful staff. Decent breakfast. We had two rooms, one of which had a balcony which was great. There was also another balcony / veranda on the first floor for any of the guests to use. The rooms were clean and a good size. They also had good air conditioning which was useful given the temperatures outside. Decent Wi-Fi also in all parts of the hotel. Overall a fantastic hotel which was one of the highlights of our visit to Albania.

What an absolutely comfortable experience. From the moment we walked in we felt cared for. The room was immaculate and the AC perfect. Everything we needed in a room. Our trip originally had us staying down the road and upon arrival it was a terrible location, so we walked down the street finding Hotel Antigone and they welcomed us with open arms with the option to stay that night at the last minute finding a room for us. They were even willing to open the bar for us to eat. This could not have been a more lovely experience with such kind people. Grateful for the location and service!

Rooms were very clean, Internet worked great, breakfast was good, staff super nice.

Perfect for a short stay in Tirana
