Staff were fantastic, breakfast was delicious and the location was good as most places of interest were not too far and reachable within a 30 minute walk as well as a bus right at the hotels doorstep. Really nice greenery in the neighbourhood and local small shops which were so unique and interesting. Personally during my stay it was a tad noisy for me, and the room needed slight upgrading with fixtures attended to, other than that Oda hotel is very reasonable for price and location.

A bit difficult to find at first as it is a the back of buildings on the main rd but was ok when I found it.very close to the main square 5 mins walk..Everything you needed was within 2 mins walk hotel great for the price fab bathroom ,plenty of spare bedding if cold constant hot water .breakfast good .an unusual place to go Albania but I found it great like most European cities. The best thing was the people,could not be nicer I went alone and they went out of their way to help if you asked a question.i asked one man a question he spoke no English but told me to wait and brought someone who did.i was so touched by their friendliness.I went to the cable car and as it explained there was hill from the bus stop.Going up I was knackered and sat down on a wall to rest.A couple went passed and went a bit further up turned round and came back.asked me if I was ok and offered me water,I will never forget that in my life.3 days is enough unless you go to the beaches I had 5 days.summing up it was perfectly safe saw not even a raised voice.all in all I had a great experience. The people my age have been through so much in communist times they are grateful of visitors going. Total experience. 8/10
