5-Star Hotels in Durres, Albania

We recently stayed at Crowne Plaza Durrës and overall had a lovely experience. The staff were attentive, welcoming, and always helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself was very clean and modern, and our room was spacious with a large bathroom and a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea. Waking up to that sea view each morning was definitely a highlight. One feature we really enjoyed was the smart room controls. The room has touch consoles on the walls that control certain features, including the curtains. It was such a nice touch to wake up, press a button, and watch the curtains open to reveal the sea view. As the hotel is still very new, we appreciated that there may be a few snags to work through. During our stay, the lights came on by themselves early in the morning on two consecutive days, the fire alarm went off unexpectedly once, and the shower flooded part of the bathroom. None of these issues ruined our stay, and we didn’t really want to complain as it’s clear the hotel is still settling in and refining things. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and can see this becoming an excellent hotel once the initial teething problems are ironed out. The location, views, staff, and modern rooms made it a memorable visit.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The all-you-can-eat breakfast was varied and high-quality, and the on-site restaurant was truly impeccable. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and offer a beautiful view—a real bonus! The cleanliness was impeccable throughout our stay. We also enjoyed a massage during our stay, and it was fantastic: an excellent moment of relaxation with professional and attentive service. One small drawback: the swimming pool was closed at the end of May, which was a shame at that time of year. As for the spa area, we ultimately didn't use it due to humidity issues (mold and a strong odor), which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a good stay with excellent amenities, despite a few areas for improvement.

The service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was pretty quiet and wished there were more amenities but we still had fun. Lovely experience 😊

Amazing place kind staff and very great amenities, free shuttle to airport pick up and drop off, with a great restaurant. Just that there was a weird picture in the room, we didn't like we requested it to be removed but apparently it was too heavy so it was declined. Picture as below. But just overall amazing place.

The hotel staff were very warm and friendly from the first moment I arrived at the hotel. They gave me a free upgrade and made sure to show me to my room. The hotel itself is lovely, and the comfort level is just amazing. The breakfast was so good, it even has an omelet station. I highly recommend this hotel what you are looking for a relaxing stay by the Albanian seashore.

It was okayish not what I expected but was able to sleep and also get to all my planned activities.

The room was clean and tidy, and the most important point was that the hotel staff was very warm and thoughtful!

The appartments themselves are cool, but have spent a lot of forces on settlement. It is impossible to find, no communication is possible, through the left people on the street somehow managed to contact the host and get a settlement instruction.
