Hotel Dukagjini

WOW! What a luxurious place close to the market, museums, churches. I enjoyed an early morning walk in a serene area. This hotel is close to a night time of vendors, amusement park, restaurants, and strolling locals and visitors. Excellent extensive breakfast buffet with speciality coffee for an upcharge.

Hotel Dukagjini is a 5 star hotel, but only by Kosovo standards. Comparably, by European or North American standards, I'd say it's a 4 star hotel at best. That all said, it was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in the entire Balkan region and I was really happy to settle in here for the evening! The location of the hotel couldn't be better. There isn't a whole lot to see in the way of tourist attractions in Pec, however, the hotel is dead centre between the Old Town/Old Bazaar and the shopping district. I wandered around for a couple of hours, but there wasn't much of interest to me as a photographer/tourist, but I did enjoy the relaxed vibe of the city centre and watching all of the locals enjoy their evening time in the restaurants and cafes around the hotel. The hotel is very large, with 3 floors of rooms and a basement floor (-1) with the spa, sauna, pool and fitness centre. Yes, there is a lift/elevator! As someone who lifts weights every day, I was so happy to finally find a gym after many months of training only bands and with own body weight. The gym was small but had most everything you could wish for - a flat bench, an incline bench, a chest press machine, a treadmill, adjustable free weights, two bars with adjustable weights for bench press, an ab roller, an elliptical, a stationary bike, a scattering of lightweight dumbbells and yoga mats. I happily trained down here the evening I arrived as well as the next morning. Staff allowed guests to use the facility anytime, opening it up early in the morning for early trainers. Rooms were spacious and comfortable! The bed was luxurious! The mattress was the perfect firmness, the bedding was clean and pressed, the pillows were absolute heaven and there were 4 on the bed! I had such a lovely sleep the night I stayed. I didn't want to wake up. The room is smartly designed with a large desk, two small glass table tops attached to the wall, and 2 large wall cabinets for luggage storage. There were hangers inside the cabinet as well as an electronic safe. The room was also equipped with plenty of unexpected extras including: a fluffy bathrobe, slippers, a large kettle, a nespresso machine with nespresso capsules, 3-in-1 coffee packets, a couple of tea bags, and sugar packets. Two small bottles of water were provided for free. There was a medium sized fridge in the room, well stocked with a mini bar - mineral water, sparkling water, soda, juice and many mini bottles of liquor and wine. There was a drawer with a few mini bar snacks, but it wasn't fully stocked. Prices were high, as expected. Glassware was in abundance in the room, including 2 large coffee mugs, 2 small espresso cups with teaspoons, 2 wine glasses, and 2 drinking glasses. The hotel lighting was elegant and there were also large windows to let the daytime light in. Don't worry, there are blackout curtains which work well to keep the room dark at night! There were many electrical sockets throughout the room, including by the

Eat dinner here, but when eating our dessert one of us found a strain of hair in the sufle which we ordered. When we told the waiter he just took it away and not even apologising. We then asked for the check and he wanted us to pay for that dessert!! When confronting him he just shrugged it of as it what can I do! Even when trying to speak with him he just ran away!! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE that this kind of treatment can happen at a restaurant/hotel like this.
