Anonymous UserWe recently stayed at Crowne Plaza Durrës and overall had a lovely experience. The staff were attentive, welcoming, and always helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself was very clean and modern, and our room was spacious with a large bathroom and a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea. Waking up to that sea view each morning was definitely a highlight.
One feature we really enjoyed was the smart room controls. The room has touch consoles on the walls that control certain features, including the curtains. It was such a nice touch to wake up, press a button, and watch the curtains open to reveal the sea view.
As the hotel is still very new, we appreciated that there may be a few snags to work through. During our stay, the lights came on by themselves early in the morning on two consecutive days, the fire alarm went off unexpectedly once, and the shower flooded part of the bathroom. None of these issues ruined our stay, and we didn’t really want to complain as it’s clear the hotel is still settling in and refining things.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and can see this becoming an excellent hotel once the initial teething problems are ironed out. The location, views, staff, and modern rooms made it a memorable visit.

The hotel is nice – it's located on the coast, has a pool with sun loungers and music, and they provide towels. It has private access to the sea and a small section of beach, also with sun loungers. I chose a room with a sea view – it really did have a balcony and a wonderful view.
There are no toiletries in the bathroom; you have to ask for them at reception.
I was disappointed with the food – the breakfasts are simply the worst you can imagine. There are cucumbers, tomatoes, a couple of cheeses, and cold meats. The scrambled eggs were really weird. Cereal. One day there were pancakes, the second day some kind of biscuit, and the third day there were cookies. They make coffee, but there are no large cups.
Checkout is at 10 AM, although TripCom says 11 AM.
The city center is far away, not walking distance, and there are no buses, only taxis. There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and currency exchanges nearby. The promenade is long. The hotel was good for a beach holiday, but the food was a disaster.

This hotel is absolutely ideally located for Tirana airport and rental car pick up/drop of - a short walk from the terminal. The reception staff speak good English and are friendly and helpful. Our room (a quad) was spacious and comfortable. Very nice to have a kettle and mugs provided. We had dinner in the Italian-style restaurant and it was very nice - good pizza, pasta etc.
Out only issue was that our room was SO HOT. The aircon didn't seem to work and opening the windows meant is was noisy. We only stayed one night so didn't have a chance to see if this could be fixed easily.
Overall, this hotel is definitely rather overpriced for what you get, but nevertheless we would stay here again if needed because the location is so good.

Hai My NguyenThe Grand Duka Hotel & Spa in Durrës truly made our stay special. From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The entire team was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and professional.
The rooms were modern, very clean, and well-maintained. We were particularly impressed with the spa area, which included a sauna, steam room, and a pleasant wellness ambiance. Fresh towels and water were always available, ensuring we felt completely comfortable. The massages offered were also very reasonably priced and a wonderful addition to the wellness facilities.
The breakfast was outstanding – with a wide selection of fresh, high-quality products. It was the perfect start to our day.
Special praise goes to the staff, who gave us many helpful tips for Durrës. Thanks to their recommendations, we discovered great restaurants and got to know the city much better.
We also found the taxi service organized by the hotel to be very convenient. Communication was effortless via WhatsApp, and the costs could be easily settled on our hotel bill at the end. This made our entire trip planning much more relaxed.
Overall, the Grand Duka Hotel & Spa offers a successful combination of comfort, wellness, hospitality, and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return anytime.

Guest UserVery nice hotel, plenty of free parking and clean gym, swimming pool and sauna. Cant really fault it and I recommend staying here. It’s well located and close to the airport for convenience. Only downside was unable to get food delivery to hotel due to location but that’s not the hotel fault so overall very happy and impressed!

The hotel staff were very warm and friendly from the first moment I arrived at the hotel. They gave me a free upgrade and made sure to show me to my room.
The hotel itself is lovely, and the comfort level is just amazing. The breakfast was so good, it even has an omelet station.
I highly recommend this hotel what you are looking for a relaxing stay by the Albanian seashore.

The hotel is just opposite the airport parking lot. It is the best hotel near the airport. The name outside the hotel should be ARK. The facilities are well maintained. The room is large, with a large Hisense TV. It can receive EU special Italian signals, fast Wifi, and a clean environment. The front desk service is very enthusiastic and the room was upgraded for free. There is a children's play area on the second floor, and a restaurant and bar downstairs. They accept Euros and can also exchange local currency.
