Hotel Dukagjini

Hotel Dukagjini is a 5 star hotel, but only by Kosovo standards. Comparably, by European or North American standards, I'd say it's a 4 star hotel at best. That all said, it was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in the entire Balkan region and I was really happy to settle in here for the evening! The location of the hotel couldn't be better. There isn't a whole lot to see in the way of tourist attractions in Pec, however, the hotel is dead centre between the Old Town/Old Bazaar and the shopping district. I wandered around for a couple of hours, but there wasn't much of interest to me as a photographer/tourist, but I did enjoy the relaxed vibe of the city centre and watching all of the locals enjoy their evening time in the restaurants and cafes around the hotel. The hotel is very large, with 3 floors of rooms and a basement floor (-1) with the spa, sauna, pool and fitness centre. Yes, there is a lift/elevator! As someone who lifts weights every day, I was so happy to finally find a gym after many months of training only bands and with own body weight. The gym was small but had most everything you could wish for - a flat bench, an incline bench, a chest press machine, a treadmill, adjustable free weights, two bars with adjustable weights for bench press, an ab roller, an elliptical, a stationary bike, a scattering of lightweight dumbbells and yoga mats. I happily trained down here the evening I arrived as well as the next morning. Staff allowed guests to use the facility anytime, opening it up early in the morning for early trainers. Rooms were spacious and comfortable! The bed was luxurious! The mattress was the perfect firmness, the bedding was clean and pressed, the pillows were absolute heaven and there were 4 on the bed! I had such a lovely sleep the night I stayed. I didn't want to wake up. The room is smartly designed with a large desk, two small glass table tops attached to the wall, and 2 large wall cabinets for luggage storage. There were hangers inside the cabinet as well as an electronic safe. The room was also equipped with plenty of unexpected extras including: a fluffy bathrobe, slippers, a large kettle, a nespresso machine with nespresso capsules, 3-in-1 coffee packets, a couple of tea bags, and sugar packets. Two small bottles of water were provided for free. There was a medium sized fridge in the room, well stocked with a mini bar - mineral water, sparkling water, soda, juice and many mini bottles of liquor and wine. There was a drawer with a few mini bar snacks, but it wasn't fully stocked. Prices were high, as expected. Glassware was in abundance in the room, including 2 large coffee mugs, 2 small espresso cups with teaspoons, 2 wine glasses, and 2 drinking glasses. The hotel lighting was elegant and there were also large windows to let the daytime light in. Don't worry, there are blackout curtains which work well to keep the room dark at night! There were many electrical sockets throughout the room, including by the

Hotel Dukagjini lies in the heart of Peja and is merited by a perfect backdrop of the gateway to The Rugova Valley. If you select a Junior Suite you will have a small balcony overlooking the square and mountains behind. It's a superb spot not just because of the view but convenience of being astride shops, restaurants and cafes. The square it overlooks is certainly a place to see and be seen in the cool part of Peja. Being the first day of Greater Bairam, a key Muslim festival, almost everything in town besides the hotel & facilities were shut. As such, I couldn't have checked in at a better time. Rain ensued for the rest of the day and making use of the spa during this time became a guilt free pleasure over getting drenched. Other facilities ranged from an indoor gym, terrace and hookah lounge, none of which I used. Some nights the lounge turns into a disco finishing at around 11pm. The desserts were delectable and service throughout the hotel was timely and polite. Compliments to Art who was very approachable and the delightful receptionists where nothing seemed too much trouble for them.

Fantastic hotel and great location The plus points - the hotel pool - a lot of hotels have a pool m these days but this was pretty essential, as it can get pretty warm in Kosovo - the food - fresh fish is shipped from Tirana every day - highlights are the grilled giant prawns and the choc soufflé We booked an economy room so was a little in the small side - but nicely furnished - and the balcony is a real plus - however the doors to the balcony are not that well sound proofed and it can get pretty noisy at night Overall though great hotel with very friendly staff - def seems like nicest hotel in peja

Gorgeous hotel in perfect condition. From a comfortable room to superior service and an incredible spread available at breakfast, there is nothing to complain about. The hotel restaurant is right alongside the river and for our dinner reservation we were welcomed in a special VIP section away from the bustle of the larger terrace. Parking onsite with constant monitoring from attendants felt very secure. Peja is a lovely town and we enjoyed our stopover here!

Eat dinner here, but when eating our dessert one of us found a strain of hair in the sufle which we ordered. When we told the waiter he just took it away and not even apologising. We then asked for the check and he wanted us to pay for that dessert!! When confronting him he just shrugged it of as it what can I do! Even when trying to speak with him he just ran away!! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE that this kind of treatment can happen at a restaurant/hotel like this.

Stayed for a night but could spend at least 2 days to enjoy the city and relaxing accomodations of the hotel. Great service with an outstanding breakfast and dinner options. The room is well designed and clean, shower is smaller than others but they have a clever solution making the bathroom very functional. Astonishing reception desk with a dedicated and organized check-in process. Be careful with the stairs at the entrance, the best is just wait and they will carry your luggage worry free.

The hotel is very well located. The welcome at reception was very kind . We find the hotel very comfort and clean. All enjoyed the swimming pool and jacuzzi . But there were problems in some rooms cause luke water of shower. Another point - we have booked a triple room two beds were correct but the third has to sleep in a portable bed (not so comfort ) and you got to watch out this. Breakfast was very good- so much kind of dishes you can find and the best is espresso coffee included at breakfast (all other international hotels charge you extra)

Very easy and welcoming check in. The room is beautiful, modern and clean. Amenities available. I asked for conditioner and after 2 hours they forgot to bring it. I called and requested it again and they brought up shower gel and shampoo. I then called reception again to ask for conditioner and they said they don’t have any. Why didn’t you just say that from the beginning? The minibar wasn’t working so all the drinks were warm. Also, there’s a club right next under the hotel, so regardless of where you’re situated you’re going to be hearing the beats throughout the night. Really uncomfortable sleep with the music blasting. Not quite sure why the floor in the shower is sloped down, which made it very slippery. The restaurant breakfast was average . Also, it was super dark.

This hotel was fantastic for our stay; it is centrally located overlooking the town square, and easy to walk to many restaurants/bazaar and the river. If you're a larger group, ask to stay in room 308 which is over two floors at the very top of the hotel, with a balcony right under the roof overlooking the town square. The top floor has lots of square footage for beds and lounging (we were 5). There's even a sauna in the bathroom! The breakfast was great and had a very large spread of traditional Kosovar offerings. Never had dinner there but there's plenty of seating including on the terrace overlooking the river. This is the place to stay in Peja!
