Besides the construction that was blocking the view everything was perfect .
I’ve been there before and always a great experience
Will be back for sure
My recent stay at Mak Albania Hotel was truly delightful. Ideally situated in a prime area of Tirana, the hotel strikes a perfect balance between central convenience and discreet tranquility. Nestled slightly off the bustling main streets, it provides a serene escape right next to a lush park—perfect for peaceful strolls. Within walking distance, you'll find a selection of upscale restaurants, trendy cafes, and luxury shops, making it incredibly convenient for both leisure and shopping.
The hotel's ambiance is understated yet elegant, complemented by excellent service and comfortable amenities. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-appointed, ensuring a relaxing stay. Overall, Mak Albania Hotel is highly recommended for travelers seeking convenience and privacy in the heart of the city.
Very beautiful hotel. Clean in all areas.
The hotel is just behind the Albanian Stadium in Tirana,which is a wow factor.
Hotel is 5 minutes walk to the Pyramid, 10 minutes walk to the city .
Buses from the hotel to the city centre is just 4 minutes away
We went to Albania to celebrate my hubby's birthday.
I ordered for a cake with the intention to pay for it, and we got a cake to feed 6-8 people for free.😃.
The cake was delicious.
Lawrence thanks, for helping to order the cake
Lola thanks for baking my husband the lovely cake.
Breakfast is a wow factor, great selection to choose from. Thanks to the cooks and waiters.
Lawrence and Belsie the receptionists were very helpful during check in.
There is a marvellous park with a massive lake behind the hotel.
To conclude, Mak hotel is the perfect place to stay if you visit Tirana.
My husband and myself loved our 5 days stay and will visit again.
My only concern is staffs at the entrance not welcoming, you have to greet them, they never say hello when you leave or enter the hotel.
I travel a lot, at least 5 times a year and go to different countries and staffs at the other hotels I have visited have been friendly and make you feel welcome.
Hotel in a great location by the park and nice restaurants, however it’s a building site as it’s undergoing a huge renovation. Fortunately at the weekend, there was not a great deal of noise. It is a grand hotel, but dated. Lovely outdoor pool but from sun Ed you see scaffolding. Bathroom was tiny and 2* toiletries and towels. Breakfast was very good.
Great staff, clean room, comfortable bed, great bathroom, and great breakfast. Felt safe, importantly. The downsides are the high price and poorly maintained fitness facilities.

It is still under construction but generally great!
The staff were excellent, the food at breakfast and in the restaurant was very good. However, the building work around the hotel made relaxing at the pool and on the terrace impossible. The hotel, or Expedia, should advise guests, before they book that the disruption is intrusive and makes the pool area unsafe (by UK standards).
Great stay, pistachio cheesecake on point at this hotel

Fantastic location. Wonderful staff. Everything about it is great - but at the moment they are being upgraded. It wouldn't stop me from staying there but it was irritating to have scaffolding being clunked around at 0800 when I am looking for a break.
So. Great hotel with wonderful staff. But .. just for a while dont expect perfection
