Petit Hotel Elita

The staff excels in providing friendly service and useful recommendations. Guests appreciate the central location and ample parking. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and well-maintained, offering effective air conditioning.

For the money, this hotel offers a nice room: modern design and clean. Bed and beddings are comfortable. Strangely, on my second night there, part of the ceiling light just clicked on by itself, and I couldn't shut it off. It went off by itself after about a minute or two: a bit spooky. That is pretty much all you get though. The front desk is nice but not too helpful: they can't help arrange taxi or tell you accurate information about buses to Tirana. The breakfast they offer is not onsite: it is in the hotel's sister restaurant a few hundred meters away. There is a cafe next door, but it offers no food whatsoever: strictly coffee only (as it is with every other coffee bar in the neighborhood). So long as you know you are just getting a nice room and much else, you'd be fine.

Located in the heart of the city, you can’t do much better than the Petit Hotel Elita. The location is great, just a few short blocks away from the historical center and the pedestrian area. Tons of great restaurants around and only 100m from a bike rental agency. There is plenty of free parking out front which is always a nice bonus in these old cities. The hotel is new, modern and well-maintained. It’s also a bit quirky as they’ve used a lot of non-right angles in the construction and decoration of the rooms. Many things you’d expect to be square or rectangle are not, which I thought was a very interesting effect. Our corner room was very large and airy with plenty of windows. There was a spacious sitting area, a sleeping area, and a large bathroom. Plenty of space to unpack and lay things out. The room was clean, very comfortable, quiet, and we had a great sleep. There were 2 TVs, one in the sleeping area and 1 in the sitting area, but no English language programming that we could find. The free Wifi seemed to be a bit slow most of the time. Big bonus - hotel guests get free access to a commercial gym only about 100m away from the hotel. The gym is complete, as you’d expect, full of cardio machines and a huge variety of machine weights and free weights. We were really impressed by the friendly, service-oriented hotel staff. They spoke great English and really made us feel at home. We had an amazing stay and would love to stay here again. Highly recommend to other travelers.
