I recently stayed at the Starlight Hotel during my brief trip to Tirana and overall had a very good experience. The hotel is clean, cozy, and in a perfect location, close to restaurants and shops. Although it’s situated in an alley, taxis can easily drop you off at the entrance.
The room was very clean and comfortable. Shampoo, conditioner, and towels were provided, but be sure to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and personal toiletries. I also appreciated that housekeeping checked in thoughtfully, even when the sign wasn’t on the door.
The dining area is open and easy to access when you enter the hotel. While most of the staff, especially at reception, were pleasant and welcoming, I did have one less positive experience with a restaurant waiter who seemed unfriendly, varying attitude and inattentive.
One suggestion would be to provide phone chargers or universal adapters at the front desk or in the rooms, as many international travelers may need them. Additionally, guests should be mindful of noise, but I would encourage management to handle noise concerns carefully, as sometimes guests may not realize sound carries.
Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay. I would definitely consider staying here again when visiting Tirana.
