Hotel Panorama Kruje View on the Castle and the Old Town

The hotel has a great location and everyone there was nice and accommodating. They had a mixture of local delicacies and fresh fruit for breakfast. The castle and hiking trails are nearby and easily accessible. The highlight of the hotel was the pool and the view. I highly recommend.

Fantastic location minutes away from the Bazaar. Great views of Kruje Castle, and the surrounding scenery. Plenty on offer, with on site restaurant, outdoor pool, and a roof terrace. Room was basic, but comfortable and clean. The shower was probably the best I experienced from my time in Albania.

A very pleasant modern hotel in the centre of Kruja, overlooking the market, castle and mosque with fine views of the valley below. Good size room, decent shower room, comfortable beds, good breakfast. The staff were helpful and pleasant.

All good

We paid extra to have a suite ( room 501) and it more than justified the extra cost.... wonderful. Huge room, wrap around terrace and truly panoramic views of the castle, mountains and valley below. The bed was a super king-size and very comfortable, lots of storage and a comfortable sofa area. The views from the balcony are picture postcard. The balcony had lots of bird droppings on it and the windows could do with a clean. (Not what you would expect from a suite). Edi on reception was delightful, very friendly and took the trouble to offer us advice and guidance as required. He is a credit to the hotel. The rooftop terrace was excellent, being October very few people around even though it was lovely sunny weather. Good sized pool, with lots of sun loungers, tables and chairs. Once again.... those views. Breakfast was okay, not the best we experienced during on our two week travels in Albania. No fresh fruit apart from grapes and coffee came from a large urn. The restaurant is large to cater for tour groups with the balcony tables in high demand. Food in the restaurant, like the breakfast was okay. (There is not much choice to dine immediately outside the hotel). The bazaar is right on the doorstep and its a short walk to the castle. We arrived by bus from Tirana and it stops a short walk from the hotel which is convenient. Taxi back to Tirana airport is just over thirty minutes away and the hotel arranges the taxi. I can imagine it gets very busy during the summer months with tourist groups.....

The hotel has great commodities, the room was very spacious and with an amazing view! The staff were super nice! On the rooftop, there is a super cool pool and provides an amazing sunset above Kruje! Also, its one minute walking from the Bazaar! Definitely a great experience!

Hotel Panorama is a solid choice in Kruje. Great location, nice rooms and everything one could need either in the hotel or close by.

Five stars experience! We stayed at the hotel Panorama in September 2023. The hotel itself is a majestic ethnic-modern building with great views, located in the heart of the ancient town of Kruja. We were welcomed by a very friendly staff that did the impossible to accommodate us in a room in a fully booked hotel. We stayed on the second floor and the room itself was spacious, well lighted, clean, equipped with a big balcony with beautiful views of the castle. Inside there were three beds, two singles and one queen, enough for a family of four. The bed sheets were snow white clean and the pillows were comfortable. The room temperature was regulated with a thermostat, which stayed comfortably around 22* celcius. During night time you could feel a pleasant cool breeze coming from the room's air vents. Wifi was excellent. The bathroom had a modern atmosphere. The shower area was inside an enclosure to prevent water splashing around, the pressure was adequate, hot or cold water in a few seconds. There were the toilet and the bidet and the sink area was nearby with all the necessary amenities. Plenty of clean towels were stacked on a two level rack near the shower. Now the breakfast (free). This is another element where the hotel Panorama excels at. Too many choices available, boiled or scrambled eggs, different cakes, strudels, jams, yogurt, cheese, butter, hot milk, coffee, tea, juices, etc ... etc. All together, there could have been 25-30 food items for the breakfast only. As a side note - I was glad to notice that some good locations in the town were undergoing new construction, especially new hotels and restaurants, like in the old bazaar area, which has seen new additions of old style shops and a new restaurant/hotel. All in all a very enjoyable experience.
