Hotel was in a perfect location within walking distance to restaurants and tourist attractions. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The buffet style breakfast with eggs made to order was an excellent option both mornings of our stay. Overall experience was great. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Very central
It is a very nice and small hotel in centrum. Nice and friendly personal.
The traffic around the hotel is intensiv. The big mosque is close to the hotel so you hear the call to prayer very loud.

Excellent helpful staff
Very friendly & helpful staff.
Room was a well sized modern one, clean & equipped with kettle & fridge.
Good rooftop bar.
Room unfortunately was a little too noisy from traffic noise, but that may have been because of the side of the building we stayed at & you’ll always get traffic noise when staying most cities.

Nice hotel and serviceminded personal!
Very kind and serviceminded people at the reception. Nice hotel, well situated.
Breakfast was OK.
The room and bathroom were clean. Perhaps more space would have been needed around the toilett.
I didn't manage to get TV any channel in English.
WIFI worked perfectly.
Would definitively book again.

Everything was good. There is no temporary parking to unload luggage, so be prepared to stop on a busy while unloading. Easy public parking underground within 3 mins of walking. It was very hot outside (37C) during our stay and hotel lobby and stairs were very warm. Room AC was able to keep room cool after we had it running continuously for 24hrs. Breakfast was good. Staff is very friendly.

It was our first time in Tirana and we did speak the language well. The staff were very patient with us and very accommodating to us. Bessa in the restaurant was absolutely wonderful and made our stay that much better. We also very much enjoyed the bar on the fourth level was very comfortable with nice views of the city.

It was a very nice room. Plenty big and well appointed. Quite relaxing after a week of traveling and somewhat simpler accommodations. Breakfast and cappuccinos were also varied and delicious.

The MonarC Hotel is a charming, small property that provides clean and comfortable rooms and dining facilities. The ladies who provided us with breakfast were very sweet and took care of us, providing us with eggs cooked perfectly and delicious cappuccinos. The hotel is in the most convenient location and walkable to everything that we wanted to see. We also absolutely loved the rooftop terrace, where we could enjoy our late afternoon drinks while looking at the new mosque across the street and the beautiful city of Tirana. The value provided by this hotel is amazing and we would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Tirana, a city we completely loved!

Boutique hotel with great service
The MonarC is a lovely small hotel ideally situated to many of Tirana's main attractions. The staff is friendly and professional and made us feel right at home. I was having issues communicating with a restaurant we were trying to go to, and the front desk helped out by making a call and clarifying our options. Great service. Will definitely stay there again.

Good location near Skanderbeg Square and lively Blloku. Traffic noise level during weekend kept me awake at times. Reception staff very helpful but we’re not always able to find specific bars / locations when asked . Very comfortable bed and spacious room.
