Hotel New York

Outside it seemed great, inside is from the beginning of 90's. Rooms are modest, and the breakfast was not good, coffee machine is something that no people should not use. They even have a rule that you cannot take your own food or drinks to the room(!)We were here on April which is not the season and we payed 80 euros for the room. If something good, the bed was very good to sleep.

A terrible structure that is absolutely not suitable for welcoming international customers. Where to start? I'll try to be concise. 1) Price of the transfer to and from the airport estimated at €80 which later became €200 (after having already booked and confirmed). Nonetheless, upon arrival in Tirana no transfer had been sent and we had to take a taxi (the hotel did not even apologize but simply offered to pay the difference in price) 2) Room with a nice sea view but painful furnishings and a tiny bathroom 3) Windows without shutters with curtains that didn't darken at all, with the result that early in the morning light was already coming in 4) The air conditioning gave problems several times, most days it wasn't cool at all despite being kept at 16 degrees it seemed more like a fan 5) The kitchen was terrible: for breakfast, lunch and dinner the same dishes were always served with very few variations. Poor buffet and ridiculous in terms of number of dishes. Lunches only on the weekend were slightly better because instead of the buffet you ordered from a menu, strictly written only in Albanian. Furthermore, a couple of days I was ill and I asked one of the waiters if it was possible to have some plain pasta, I was told in the negative because they were busy in the kitchen. I was forced to go for lunch elsewhere and from that moment on I practically never had lunch or dinner in the hotel again because I was nauseated by always seeing the same things in the buffet. 6) The "beach" (if we want to define it that way) offered by the hotel included in the price is ridiculous: a strip of stones with sunbeds full of mold on which it sucks to lie down even using a towel (see photo). For this reason we had to look for an alternative and luckily a few meters away immediately after the tunnel there is a very nice and equipped sandy beach. Obviously for a fee. 7) The pool was nice enough, but some days the water was really dirty so it probably wasn't even cleaned every day. 8) The staff of the facility, especially those in the dining room, could barely speak a few words in English or Italian. Ultimately this hotel should absolutely not be taken into consideration if you have the expectation of spending a pleasant holiday and I am surprised that an Italian tour operator would offer it to customers. I find it inconceivable that you pay for an all-inclusive holiday and then have to pay to go and eat elsewhere and to stay on a beach worthy of the name. The bitterness and disappointment of having literally thrown money away remain.

Hotel ran out of water for hours on two occasions over 6 night stay. Didn't accept credit cards, although conveniently there's a cash machine outside (which charged quite high fee for withdrawal). Breakfast pancake or omelette (couldn't tell!)was cold, although displayed in hot tray. Staff friendly. Bit remote from main area although within walking distance. Nice building and comfy bed. Clean

- The toilet was in bad condition and looked warn and not clean. - A tile in the floor was loose - Rooms comes with a minibar it says ind the description, but unfortunately you can only have a beer or a Coca cola. In my opinion that is not What you call a minibar when you can’t have a drink ot just a regular water. - No power sticks next to bed, so no night lights connected. The lamps is there but without power near the bed it’s just unneccesary with these lamps. - Sticky sheets, didn’t Seem dry. - In the conditions it says that you’ll have a aircondition Unit in the room. There is not a Unit and therefore you can’t control it Yousef And have to call reception to set temperature. Also it’s not powerfull enough to cool down the room. - You are really bothered of high noises from the hallway and from the Street. These noises are that high that you will wake up at night. - Wifi doesn’t work at standard rooms, which is highly critical. - Breakfast is boring and with a very small selektion. Not worth a penny. - Pool area is Old, faded colors all over. Pool is dirty and so are the cusions for the sunbeds. The place is warn and just filled up with old toys for children. Definitely not a place for relaxing. - We contacted the stadig regarding the above. They offered an other room, which would solve only two of the problems, which they did’nt care about. We were yelled at by the reception staff and therefore no longer felt safe and had to move from the place during the stay. - Overall really disapointed about this place, its warn, damaged and old. And the lack of service and kindness is just making the hole experience really disapointing. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a living soul.

The hotel was chosen by the agency with which we tour Albania. The room is small but the bathroom is completely microscopic. The room is practically on the ground floor. The balcony door, through which anyone can exit from the street, doesn't close, you have to push it with your knee, the shower door doesn't close at all. At dinner two young people served. There are probably no such unprofessional and arrogant waiters in bars for truck drivers. Food tasteless. Room replacement is beyond the hotel's capabilities. Stay away.
