Stellar Boutique Modules by Maistra City Vibes

Pros: - Less than a 10-minute walk from the city center, which is very convenient. - The hotel has an excellent design, truly making the most of a small space. - The staff are warm and friendly, especially the lovely lady at the restaurant and the young, cheerful gentleman at the front desk on our check-out day. - Breakfast is served individually and tastes great. - Oh, and there's a nice bar across the street at door number 63. Cons: - The hotel is located along a busy street, and for rooms facing the road, the noise and vibrations from the city traffic (like the 'Xiaolan' vehicles) started as early as 4 AM, making it hard to sleep. - The room is quite small. Although cleverly designed to meet most needs, there's no space to open and store a large suitcase. Overall, it's a good place and worth recommending, but it's best to avoid rooms facing the street.

This mid-sized hotel is located directly opposite the central train station, and just 1.2km, a walkable distance, from the core attractions like St. Mark's Church and its square. There are plenty of large supermarkets and eateries nearby. We flew in from Tirana on the morning of the 30th, arriving at the hotel at 9 AM. Naturally, check-in isn't until after 2 PM as per regulations. Their small dining area doubles as a cafe and is open to the public. Since we hadn't had breakfast yet (low-cost airlines don't provide meals), and it was a Saturday with most shops closed, finding a breakfast spot seemed difficult. I jokingly asked if we could have tomorrow's breakfast today. To my surprise, they said yes! How accommodating and understanding. It was a semi-buffet style set meal; they first served coffee, juice, bread, and pastries. Then, we could choose our main breakfast items from a menu. We opted for bacon and fried eggs, and sausage with scrambled eggs, respectively. The quality and presentation were excellent, and everything was freshly prepared. On subsequent days, if our schedule required us to have breakfast before 7 AM, they never hesitated to accommodate our request. On our last day, we checked out at 6:30 AM, quickly finished our nutritious breakfast in the restaurant, and then packed pastries and fruit to take away. They didn't seem to mind at all. We stayed in an economy room, which was on the smaller side but well laid out. The hygiene was excellent. The handsome gentlemen at the front desk and the tall, beautiful young lady at the bar were very patient and communicated slowly with me, understanding our limited Chinese language skills. They helped me resolve many issues, such as bus ticket purchases and locating the main bus terminal.

Great central location and very clean, but the breakfast isn't really suited for a Chinese palate!

Choose wisely who you stay with, there is ZERO privacy in the bathroom. Good service and a good hotel overall.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. Modern, clean rooms... just the bed was a bit high.

Nothing to say, everything went very well, I recommend it!
