Shkodra Homestays

I stayed at the Colosseo as part of a group tour and the hotel was chosen by the tour company. It is very centrally located, at one end of a long pedestrian promenade with many shops and restaurants and interesting side streets. This was one of the few times I stayed in a “single room” with only a single bed but the room was a reasonable size. Breakfast was a good variety of foods, including cheese, vegetables, eggs and the usual breads and pastries. I checked out the gym, which was large and well-equipped but did not use it- Shkoder is very walkable and that’s how I got my exercise! The pool was indoor and medium-sized. The Internet could be slow at times and sometimes stopped completely. The woman at the front desk did something- likely re-booting the router- and it worked better after that. There were limited electrical outlets- you pretty much had to unplug a lamp to charge any devices. Note also that nothing will charge when you’re out of the room if you leave and take your room key with you- the room has power only if you leave your room key in the slot by the door. If you’re a light sleeper you may want to request a room on the back side of the hotel; the side facing the promenade has a mosque directly in front of it with multiple calls to prayer every day, loudly amplified.

Located in the heart of the city, you can’t do much better than the Petit Hotel Elita. The location is great, just a few short blocks away from the historical center and the pedestrian area. Tons of great restaurants around and only 100m from a bike rental agency. There is plenty of free parking out front which is always a nice bonus in these old cities. The hotel is new, modern and well-maintained. It’s also a bit quirky as they’ve used a lot of non-right angles in the construction and decoration of the rooms. Many things you’d expect to be square or rectangle are not, which I thought was a very interesting effect. Our corner room was very large and airy with plenty of windows. There was a spacious sitting area, a sleeping area, and a large bathroom. Plenty of space to unpack and lay things out. The room was clean, very comfortable, quiet, and we had a great sleep. There were 2 TVs, one in the sleeping area and 1 in the sitting area, but no English language programming that we could find. The free Wifi seemed to be a bit slow most of the time. Big bonus - hotel guests get free access to a commercial gym only about 100m away from the hotel. The gym is complete, as you’d expect, full of cardio machines and a huge variety of machine weights and free weights. We were really impressed by the friendly, service-oriented hotel staff. They spoke great English and really made us feel at home. We had an amazing stay and would love to stay here again. Highly recommend to other travelers.
