2 Kitarrat Boutique Hotel & Spa

Das Zimmer was wir hatten war sehr sauber. Aber es hatte kein Fenster, nur ein Oberlicht zum Balkon des Nebenzimmers. Man mußte den ganzen Tag das Licht anmachen. Das Frühstück ist auf Italiener angepaßt. Kein Rührei nur kalte Spiegeleier die in der Microwelle erwärmt wurden.

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.

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

Très bel hotel, plein de charme. Bien situé près du front de mer. Excellent petit déjeuner et personnel très sympathique

This hotel has very clean seaside and has an adjoining seaside restaurant about 300 meters away which offers excellent fish and meat dishes and excellent wines. I thank the owner and her family, they are very kind and supported us in all our needs.

Hôtel très bien situé, parking à côté pour 4€/24 heures, personnel aimable à l’accueil et très aimable au petit déjeuner, petit déjeuner copieux et fait maison en très grande partie. Grande chambre spacieuse bien équipée, le spa comprend plusieurs équipements (hamam, jacuzzi et bain turc) en accès gratuit soins payants (le jacuzzi ne marchait pas). Très bien situé à proximité de la promenade de bord de mer.

Hotel molto caratteristico e particolare, direttamente sul lungomare di Durazzo. Assolutamente ottima la colazione servita in terrazza. Gentili e disponibili. Camere pulite e dotate di ogni comfort 4stelle. Moquette non particolarmente igienica ma in linea con le stile.

Stayed a week at 2 Kitarrat. We were well taken care of by helpful staff. Room was good, with a spacious balcony where one could enjoy a glass of excellent local wine. Breakfast had all we needed, and the service was outstanding. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but plenty near by. And if you walk for around five minutes the hotel owners do have a very good restaurant, the 2 Kitarrat Arome Deti. Madame tested the Spas massage offer, it was ok, just don't expect it to be like a genuine Thai massage.
