Monarc Hotel

The MonarC is a lovely small hotel ideally situated to many of Tirana's main attractions. The staff is friendly and professional and made us feel right at home. I was having issues communicating with a restaurant we were trying to go to, and the front desk helped out by making a call and clarifying our options. Great service. Will definitely stay there again.

The hotel is excellent in every way -- the rooms, breakfast, helpfulness of the staff, location, and rooftop bar. Very highly recommended!

A belated review from a week-long stay at MonarC Hotel in Tirana, because it was a lovely, lovely hotel and I want to recommend it to others. I was sick for part of my stay and so had to stay in my room a bit more than average, so I really got to know it! My room was large and immaculate. Very clean. Wonderfully comfortable bed and great bathroom. Beautifully appointed room with a desk, dark, dramatic colors that were pretty, a winding staircase up (or if you prefer to take the elevator of course there is one too), and a breakfast area that is beautiful. Every day the breakfast came by way of room service and was wonderful. The front desk staff were young and eager to assist. And it's probably the best location in Tirana, although it's a little loud at this particular intersection (lots of honking) and next time I would ask for a room further away from the front windows. But the location made Tirana even better as you can just walk literally everywhere, even if feeling a bit under the weather like I was -- I saw all of the main attractions and then some. It's also pretty close to the bus stop if you are going further, as I was hoping (but my illness sent me home early). I also appreciated that it was across from a park to sit and a mall with a great supermarket in the basement, plus an air conditioned cut-through that was appreciated in the heat of summer. Definitely a wonderful hotel that was most unexpected.

Stayed here for three nights on recent trip to Tirana Check in was fast and smooth Was upgraded to deluxe king with jacuzzi ( never used it!) Room was spacious and really comfortable….bed was excellent too Staff very friendly and very helpful with taxis etc Sadly I never got to the bar Or the restaurant but I’d imagine they were pretty good judging by the rest of the hotel Hotel was in a great central location only a few mins walk from bars and restaurants Great experience overall and I’d certainly use again on any future trips to Tirana

Good location near Skanderbeg Square and lively Blloku. Traffic noise level during weekend kept me awake at times. Reception staff very helpful but we’re not always able to find specific bars / locations when asked . Very comfortable bed and spacious room.

Excellent location. Hotel perfect for what we needed. Staff extremely helpful

I booked two nights at the MonarC through TripAdvisor/*********** solely because it was centrally located and has parking. After driving around for over 30 minutes circling the hotel, it became apparent that they don’t have parking. I ended up parking around 700m away, which is charging me approximately $20US a day for parking. I showed the advert to the young man at the front desk and asked if they would be willing to pay for my parking? I also inquired if I canceled for tomorrow night (it’s late in the day and not sure I want to uproot to a different hotel at almost 5p). He called the manager, and to both questions, it was a resounding NO. I was told that they would charge me for both nights no matter what, and they would not pay or discount my stay to compensate for the out of packet parking. I nicely explained to the young man (he’s not at fault and I didn’t want him to feel bad) that I was going to book a different hotel for tomorrow night and would not be paying for the second night, I would be seeking reimbursement chargeback through my credit card, reporting this to TripAdvisor and ***********. It’s sad that the management is so short-sighted and unprofessional. If you’re not providing services/amenities listed, you need to either compensate or change your listing! As a side note— my room is FREEZING! I have had the heater in for hours and it’s still crazy cold in here!

Unfortunately due to flight delays I missed most of my stay in Tirana. The hotel was very easy to communicate with through *******. They arranged a pick up at the airport for me- driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. When I finally arrived hotel staff was very kind, room was nice and clean, and complimentary breakfast was excellent. I wish I had longer to stay!
