Yes, the staff are very kind and helpful but I experienced this from all Albanian people I met. Cannot complain about the restaurant either. Typical tasty Balkan food. Location is OK too but my (single) room. .. Yes, it was quiet but it was very small and no comparison to the double rooms I could look into when they were... More

Stayed at the Tafaj Hotel July 7-9 and I had a great time. The entire staff was wonderful and very helpful. Our room was very clean with private bathroom with all anemities, A/C, colored T.V. and a huge private balcony facing the street. Bed was very comfortable. Food was absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced. Very close to main square. Would definitely... More

I stayed 3 days in the hotel and the receptionists were very helpfull all the time, with good English. The room had all the necessary facilities and was cleaned every day. There is a computer in the room with normal Internet speed. Except the hotel's restaurant, there is a large tavern, which was not noisy. Plenty of birds in cages... More

Stayed three nights at Villa Tafaj on a longer swing through the Balkans. Best thing is the central location only five minutes from Tirana's main square and about half the distance from the downtown airport bus stop. It's also close to the avenue (between the main square and train station) where you catch long distance buses to other countries around... More

Firstly the name of this hotel is misspelt onTrip Adviser; it should read Vila with one 'l'. This is the oldest hotel in Tirana and still has plenty of majestic glory though all the facilities have been updated and modernised. Vila Tafaj is ideally sited within 200m, of the main square and for a tourist this is ideal because you... More

I stayed here for a week with some colleagues. The hotel is not bad: location is good, very clean, friendly and English-speaking staff, very speedy internet (plugin in room - wireless in meeting room) . Good tv screens in the restaurant and bar to watch to football world championship. The son of the manager/owner was temporarily stepping in for his... More

This is a fine place to stay if you are visiting Tirana. It's comfortable and you feel cared for and safe. The staff speak English, so there would be no problem with ringing them direct to make a reservation. It has a good restaurant and is just a few minutes walk from Skanderbeg square, where the airport buses arrive. I... More

Spent two nights at Villa Tafaj and loved it. The location is very central to the main square. The staff speak good English and are very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent. The Villa also has an excellent restaurant with some great local and Italian dishes.... More

I so want to give this hotel the lovely glittering review it deserves but we too were worried about the welfare of the animals, as described by a previous reviewer. While there we voiced our concerns and know that another guest has complained by email and referenced the last review on Trip Advisor - so hopefully the situation might get... More
