I stayed at the Tirana Sheraton in Mar 07 for a week while on business. I have read the other reviews and agree with them, so I will not repeat what other travellers have said. Bottom line, it is a very nice hotel, about 15 minutes walk from the center of town. The room, restaurant, staff, etc, are all what you would expect from a Sheraton property. A couple of points
There is no gift shop in the hotel, so if you want to send a postcard home (like I like to do), ask to front desk on how to get to the nearest shop that sells tourist items. There is a small tourist shop (which is full of things tourists would want to buy) about 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel, but it is hard to find, so ask. For stamps and mailing, you give your postcards to the front desk (with money) and they send someone to the post office to mail your cards. In my humble opinion, the hotel needs a gift shop.
The Sheraton is connected to a nice "mall". The mall has a ok grocery store, bars and 3 resturants plus a bunch of other stores.. This is great, from my perspective, as we ate Italian style pizza at very reasonable prices without leaving the hotel grounds and the grocery store has Pepsi, water, chips, etc.
In closing, this is the only hotel I have stayed at in Tirana, but I will stay there again, why mess with success?
