  Friendly Staff, Great Spa and lots of character

  09 Sept 2026

  A quirky and charming boutique hotel with a guitar theme running throughout the decor - 2 Kittarrat means 2 guitars. The staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming and genuinely keen to make guests feel at home. Breakfast offered plenty of choice although I’m gluten free I initially found the options limited however after mentioning this to Negisa on reception the team went out and bought gluten free bread and prepared avocado on toast with fried eggs each morning, That level of care means a lot. The hotel also has a lovely spa which guests can use free of charge, we enjoyed the sauna steam room and Turkish bath which we had al to ourselves and treated ourselves to full body massages. This was one of the best massages I’ve ever had and was a real highlight of the hotel stay. The hotel was clean and comfortable overall. My only complaint was that the shower drain was blocked when we arrived and had clearly not been cleaned properly, as it was full of hair, despite this issue the friendly service personal touches and unique character made for a very enjoyable stay. A lovely example of Albanian hospitality.

  Characterful and functional. Good location.

  28 Sept 2024

  Ended up here as our original hotel had overbooked rooms and brought us here instead! Pleasantly surprised! The decor is interesting an over the top traditional decor I think! Our room was on the roadside with a tiny outside space that we were told they are not allowed to call a balcony! There was a small entrance hall to the room with a wardrobe and suitcase rest. The bedroom had a large comfortable bed and a fridge. Slept well here! Bathroom had a corner shower that was just big enough for my large husband! Plenty of hot water plus toiletries and towels. Great location one block back from the tiny strip of sand and one end of the promenade. Interestingly the sunbeds here are the same price as a half hour walk away so save yourself time! Sunbeds go up in price on the weekend.Breakfast was interesting! There was juice, bread, croissants, fruit, cheese etc all guarded/served by a proprietrorial woman! She is particularly protective of the coffee machine which you are not allowed to use and you have to pay €1 for any additional cups you have! Overall given we did not choose thus hotel we were pleasantly surprised!

  Room for improvement

  03 Aug 2024

  First time in Albania,so Durres seemed a good choice,not too far from the airport.10-17th of July..Blue taxi was reliable and resonable priced,we recomend it. The 2 Kitarrat hotel is nice,a little over the top,but clean and w/potential if the maintenance will take a closer look at the small details.. The rubber from the shower door was coming off,the support of the toilet paper was not stable and it fell everytime we touched it,the fan from the bathroom in the next room, left on by the peole sleepingt there,was so loud we could not sleep one night,We informed the reception and I hope they made a note,and things were fixed. A special thanks to Amy at the reception,always nise and helpful.Thank you again Amy! The night I could not sleep because of the noisy fan, I wanted to talk at the reception and ask for another room to sleep in for the night, I went downstairs and to my surprise the gentelman that was on duty at night,was fast asleep on the couch behind a column. That was unsettling to say the least. He did not hear me and I did not wake him up.Security should not be be taken litghtly... Breakfat took place in nice area,like a green house, with one lady that was in charge,Migheina( not sure about the spelling of her name).The food was niceley arranged,so were the tables but you could not stay anywhere,because the lady preffered the first part of the room,wehre there were napkins and sugar, no salt or peper anywhere,things that were missing on the other tables. The first day we wanted coffee,the choice was limited,cups very small and only the lady was preparing them w/an automated coffee machine. We asked for a second cup and she gave us one,but the next day there was a note by the coffee machine,that breakfast is limited to one coffe and you have to pay 2eur for another one. The fryed eggs were warmed up in the microwave,never seen this one before. They do not have a kitchen on site,so things are wraped in alluminum foil,to keep them warm and it was not easy. There was cheese,olives,grilled pepers,something looking like prossciutto ,the only meet on the table that I have not tried.,sweets,some fruits,confiture,pancakes,all in limited amount. I do not think that the lady liked us very much,so we were dradding going to breakfast everymorning,not a good feeling.She was also a lot on the phone .. So we were not impressed w/breakfast or service for a 4* hotel . The hotel is very central,close to the sandy beach ,The sea was warm but had algae,more in the afternoon. Durres is not clean,the garbage bins,10 in a row in places had no lid on,the smell in that heat was very strong.There was garbage in the street that we have seen for 7 days,so nobody cleaned those streets. They did water the main road a few times. The food was good and fresh but not cheap,We loved Mema House and the service there was very personal. Icecream and coffee at Cela were very good as well. So we think that there is a lot of potential,but they need to work on the details. It was a good vacation,so mabe next time it will be great!

  Appalling minibar rip off, tired furnishings

  10 Jun 2024

  The super expensive minibar prices were shown on euros, but then charged back into Lek at over 50 per cent premium. The small bottle of wine, dated 2019, was undrinkable. I poured it down the sink. I tactfully suggested that I might not be charged for it, but the girl on reception insisted the stock could not be at fault as it was changed every fortnight. Not a good advert for Albanian hospitality, which elsewhere has been excellent over the past two weeks
