Hotel Antigone

The hotel is small and family-run and everyone is really friendly and helpful and speak good English. It's conveniently located not too far from the centre of town and there are loads of cafes, bars, restaurants, convenience shops and coffee shops nearby so you have plenty of choice for places to eat and drink. The rooms are modern and smart and some are newly renovated too. They have expanded into the apartment block next door as well and there are several rooms here which are useful if you are a larger group (we were an extended family of parents and in-laws and the arrangement worked really well) although being on the ground floor it did feel a bit dark and lacked a view. The garden is a lovely place to have breakfast (it's eggs and cold meats but is included in the price along with your first coffee) and is just what you need to start the day. You can order other items at a small charge - really there's no point in going anywhere else. The coffee is good and the food is good value. They are also happy to arrange taxis as well and it works out cheaper and more convenient than the airport bus. Area feels really safe too so no worries being out later after dark either. Definitely a place to consider if you like small, independent, good value hotels.

Antigone hotel is the sweetest retreat in Tirana central. Away from traffic and the crowd but still 15 to 20 minutes away, walking distance from all main sights. The owners are delightful and the mother cooks the most delicious breakfast omelette. Morning coffees are also great as good as the best one in Italy. Room is simple but cosy and the outside garden is very cute. Tirana is a great city but can be hectic at times and going to this hotel has given us a nice sweet retreat. Faleminderit!

What an absolutely comfortable experience. From the moment we walked in we felt cared for. The room was immaculate and the AC perfect. Everything we needed in a room. Our trip originally had us staying down the road and upon arrival it was a terrible location, so we walked down the street finding Hotel Antigone and they welcomed us with open arms with the option to stay that night at the last minute finding a room for us. They were even willing to open the bar for us to eat. This could not have been a more lovely experience with such kind people. Grateful for the location and service!

Feeling like home!! Cosy hotel, close to centre, wonderful breakfast. What more can i add, friendly staff, tasty cocktails, beautiful garden. Supermarket and vegetable Market just few metres away. Definitely coming back every summer.
