Hotel Internacional Fushe-Arrez (Puke, Albania)

Single beds. No WiFi. No aircon. No toilet paper. 1 towel.

This hotel was bad, for the following reasons: 1. The rooms were gross. No AC. The bathrooms (in multiple rooms) were laughable. Broken toilet seat, towels that were like sandpaper. Our bathroom door got stuck shut several times and wouldn't open. 2. Staff was unpleasant. At 4 AM two of the workers came to talk and smoke right outside of our window, as there was an unfinished roof you could stand on. Upon asking them politely to keep quiet, they said, "close door" (meaning window), and continued to talk. At 8 AM the hotel resumed their playlist of loud, terrible club music. 3. The management changed the rates of the rooms when it came time to pay. And of course, when prices are changed in this manner, the only way is up... Safe to say there's no way of knowing what you'll end up having to pay. 4. Bad food. Breakfast was an egg, with what tasted like expired fig spread. Maybe 80 proof fig spread - it's hard to say. To sum it up, if you want a gross room with no AC, bad service, bad food, and a looming uncertainty for how much you'll actually end up paying in the end, then this place is for you. Unfortunately it's the only option in this town. But hey, who needs quality when you have monopoly. (I think this was actually written on the wall - I could be wrong) If you're still reading this, my advice is drive to Shkoder and stay there - that whole city is awesome, with a variety of quality hostels and hotels. That's what I'm doing now. See you there. :)

The best place in the area to spend both winter and summer days.

very good hotel
