Haxhiu Hotel

This family-run hotel is tucked away off the main street and set
behind potted trees and flowers. It`s got a light and airy feeling and
views of old tile roofs. The relative lack of amenities is compensated
by the management`s eagerness to please. Taxis to the centre are
provided free. So are coffee and tea. The breakfast buffet features
fresh fruit and pastries.

Ferari

This unprepossessing but comfortable four-story hotel best
serves those who want to get away from the city centre. It serves a
nice Italian breakfast, 06:30 - 10:30. Staff are polite.

Fjoard

After a night out, you could do a lot worse. Sure, this small,
nondescript family hotel doesn`t have a lot in the way of charm, but
it`s cheap, clean, and well-located, near the bllok area. Rooms
contain a TV, but the only telephone is at reception.

Kalaja

Kalaja amounts to a good budget choice, if you can overlook the
fact that the staff speaks almost no English. In this hostel-like
setup, you can either share a room or be unapologetically selfish and
take one all for yourself. Rooms are clean, with tile floors, basic
bathroom, a TV and a fan. Best of all, the hotel is ensconced inside
the ancient walls of Justinian's Fortress, protecting you from
6th-century barbarians.

Pike Loti

Not far from the city centre, this family-run hotel offers small
but clean and comfortable rooms. All come with private bath,
modem-compatible telephones, TV and minibar. Pike Loti also maintains
a reserve tank and generator to ensure those other Albanian luxuries:
water and electricity. Downstairs you'll find a non-stop bar. Some
English is spoken.
