Tirana Marriott

I booked last minute through Marriott's website upon arriving in Tirana, the booking was simple and easy. The staff at check-in was friendly, helpful, and professional. When she realised I was on my birthday trip and that day was almost my birthday, she told me she wished she could wish me a happy birthday but could not, as it is believed to bring bad luck to do an advance birthday wish in Albanian culture. This was a very good piece of cultural knowledge I learned from her, and it's impressive. ​The hotel and my room were nice and clean. I really liked the room I stayed in, thanks to the view, the space, layout, amenities, and comfort. ​The staff at check-out was helpful. He helped a lot with information and calling a taxi, and accompanied me to the taxi to ensure I had no problem in communication with the driver, who might not speak English very well. ​All in all, I had a good stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

The Tirana Marriott is located in the heart of the city, an impressive building that is connected to and overlooks the Air Albania Stadium. With 23 floors, it is one of the tallest building in Tirana and offers a great view of the city from the rooms on the high floors. It has a great M Club lounge on the 4th floor and a well equipped gym on the second floor with steam rooms and saunas in the changing rooms.||My wife and I stayed here for three nights, and during that time stayed in two rooms, our first night was in a Club Room on the 23rd floor with a great view over the city, then the next two nights we spent in larger room, an Executive Suite on the 20th floor, again great views over the city, mountains and even the stadium. Being lifetime Marriott Bonvoy Platinum elite members helped, as we were upgraded from the room we had initially booked and got M Club lounge access and free breakfast too.||The M club lounge offered soft drinks, tea coffee as snacks 24/7 and canapés and drinks in the evening. There was plenty of seating in the lounge so it never felt too crowded while we were there. ||Breakfast was served downstairs in the restaurant, with a good selection of food and drinks. ||The gym was a good size with plenty of exercise machines and equipment, as well as a room for classes. The couple of three times I was there it was never too busy so no waiting to use equipment. ||The staff in the gym, lounge, restaurant and reception were all great and very helpful. Answering all of our questions, service food and drinks and making us feel special. ||On the day we arrived we were very early around 10:30am, we had not requested checkin until around 2:00pm, as we wanted to explore the capital so did not need the room straight away, and were able to store our bags while we looked around the city. We arrived back at about 1:00pm, the room was not ready but instead of waiting in the reception we were kindly escorted up to the lounge, so we could grab a coffee and relax while our room was finalized. ||Each of our days at the hotel were great, when the weather was not so great, we could either relax in the lounge or our suite, or go and take a workout in the gym. ||On our checkout day, we were able to request a late checkout until 4:00pm which was handy but ended up leaving at around 3:00pm so we could go and catch the cable car up the mountain. ||It was a great stay, our Marriott loyalty was recognized and had the benefit of upgraded rooms, lounge access, breakfast and late checkout, which we took full advantage of during our stay. The staff were wonderful, all so helpful.

The staff are incredibly well-mannered, greeting guests at every entrance and exit with warmth and professionalism. Rooms are immaculate and maintained to a Ritz-Carlton standard. Breakfast is phenomenal, and the Executive Lounge is easily one of the best in the entire Marriott brand. A true 5-star experience — highly recommended.

This is one of the most wonderful Marriott experiences that I’ve had and I’ve been a career Marriott guest. The service was warm and extremely hospitable; we had an early flight and were provided a lovely breakfast box and coffees at our 4:30 wake up time. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Great short stay, thank you Tirana team!

I usually stay at Hilton properties but the Hilton here seemed to be in a sketchy area so i went with the Marriott and that was a good decision. This hotel is in a great location with shops and restaurants all around. The area is very clean, is well lit, and feels safe. ||The property itself is excellent. The front desk is fully staffed and everyone was welcoming. The room had good space, good lighting, a big window and a spacious bathroom.||The bed itself was great - well supported. The A/C was great and the wifi also great.||There is a nice spacious lounge open 24 hours. At breakfast and in the evening there is food including sufficient options to make a meal of it. ||It's about 30 minutes to the airport. The airport is a bit chaotic. If you have a biometric passport that helps a lot. But the boarding process, at least for Wizz Air, is unbelievably absurd - like something you would see in a movie. ||Overall this Marriott is an excellent choice.

We recently had a pleasant stay at the Tirana Marriott, thanks to the team, especially Andrea, who ensured our comfort by allocating a spacious room for our family of three adults. The buffet breakfast was decent, and the hotel's central location made it easy to explore the area on foot. Overall, it was a good experience, and we appreciate the team's hospitality 🙏.

I rarely write on chain hotels, but this Marriott blew my expectations. The staff are incredible, the rooms are stunning, clean and have a gorgeous view, the gym was great and the brunch was comprehensively perfect for all foodies and kids alike. The location is perfect, in the heart of a very nice part of the city.

Great place to stay in Tirana! Very central and walkable everywhere. The breakfast Buffett is full of options and staff is welcoming. Will stay there if we come back to Tirana.
