Ryokan in Elbasan County

"Walking distance (5-7 minutes) from the TIA terminal. I wish I had known as I paid $15 for the 2 minute cab ride. The most perfectly clean hotel I've ever stayed at. Not fancy, but large and newly furnished. The breakfast was very good- not excellent but good to very good and the coffee excellent!"

"Enjoyed our night here. Room was clean and staff was friendly and helpful! "

"My stay at Sol Tropikal was overall good, but there are a few things that could definitely be improved. The food was nice and tasty, especially the beef, pasta and panna cotta. I enjoyed most of the meals, although sometimes the food was more warm than hot. It would be better if the chefs could make sure the food stays hot enough during serving. The rooms were neat, tidy and comfortable. Housekeeping did a good job keeping everything clean throughout my stay, and the balcony area was nice to relax on. One thing I struggled with was communication with some of the staff because many of them were not able to speak English well, so I didn’t really find the staff very engaging. I was also disappointed with the water situation. I had two bottles in my room when I arrived, but nobody explained that I was supposed to keep and refill them. I assumed fresh bottles would be provided. When I asked reception for another bottle of water, I was told guests only get two bottles and that I should buy water from the lobby shop instead. Considering I paid for all inclusive, I honestly felt disappointed that they couldn’t provide one extra bottle, especially since I would have reused it for refills afterwards. Having stayed at another Melia hotel before, I personally didn’t feel this one matched the same standard. Overall the stay was okay and I would rate it 7/10."

"Good hotel in a good location in order to visit the old town."

"Staff were absolutely excellent-from reception to restaurant to security to cleaning team. Room was fantastic-the bed and pillow were so comfortable. Room size was good and spacious with amazing views. Food options for breakfast was ample. The spa facilities were really good too. One of the best stays I’ve had! Highly recommended"

"The family room was amazing and very comfortable. We really felt at home. The morning desk person was VERY unhelpful, condescending and rude. 2 of us left at 10am to pick up a car rental. We had to ask for a later check out and it was granted until 11:30. As our 2 other friends were busily bringing all our luggage down around 11:30, they returned to the room to get the the last pieces of luggage. The card did not work and the front desk person was so rude when we asked to gain access to get the bags. He said it’s 11:32 and you only had extension until 11:30…. Like he was going to keep our bag. He argued and only begrudgingly allowed us upstairs to get the rest of the luggage."

"This hotel is on a quieter location in golem, although this means it’s also very close to the motorway. My room faced the motorway and if I had my balcony door open it was loud however once the door was closed the noise disappeared. The room was extremely comfortable and did look like the photos on Expedia. The hotel also had a small pool and around 5 sun loungers. The pool and sun loungers were in the shade for long periods of the day but between midday and 3pm the pool got the sun (I stayed in early May). There is a buffet breakfast included in the room rate which was nice, the options are limited. Don’t expect to find English breakfast items it’s lots of salads and fruit, with coffee and juices offered. The beach is a few streets away from the holiday. Very convenient "

"Room was huge with great views. Traffic noise a bit of an issue even on the 13th floor. Needs some rough edges in maintenance looking after. Staff were superb and the location is perfect."

"The staff was really nice."
