The
friendliness
of
the
Balkan
people,
especially
the
Albanians,
is
truly
remarkable.
Random
people
often
said
hi,
or
përshëndetje
to
me
in
the
streets,
or
invited
me
for
coffee
or
a
drink.
As
impressed
as
I
was
by
these
random
street
encounters,
they
were
impressively
topped
by
my
experience
at
the
Albanopolis
Hotel
in
Tirana.
The
owner,
Rasim
Hasanaj,
went
out
of
his
way
to
make
me
feel
at
home
in
his
hotel.
He
carved
out
time
from
his
busy
day
to
have
drinks
with
me
and
share
stories
about
his
brother,
as
well
as
the
history
of
Albania.
It
truly
felt
like
a
home
away
from
my
home.
The
staff
is
clearly
a
reflection
of
his
kindness
and
hospitality.
There
are
so
many
people,
especially
behind
the
scenes,
that
keep
a
hotel,
or
any
business
for
that
matter,
running
well.
Unfortunately,
I
didn’t
get
to
meet
most
of
them.
However,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
meet
Arjona,
Grisild,
Esterina,
and
Shkëlqim
and
experience
their
amazing
kindness
and
professionalism
up
close.
They
are
part
of
the
incredible
staff
who
made
my
stay
at
Albanopolis
an
awesome
one.
The
hotel
is
also
centrally
located,
and
just
a
few
minutes
walking
distance
from
the
Ring
Shopping
Center,
Skanderbeg
Square,
or
the
International
Bus
Station
in
case
you
want
to
pop
off
to
Kosovo
or
Montenegro
for
a
day
trip.
The
Albanopolis
also
features
a
daily
breakfast
for
guests
that
includes
vegan
or
vegetarian
options,
as
well
as
other
healthy
choices.
So,
whether
you’re
in
Tirana
for
just
a
few
days,
or
a
few
weeks,
you
should
definitely
stay
here
if
there
are
available
rooms
or
suites.
Again,
Rasim,
Arjona,
Esterina,
Grisild,
Shkëlqim,
and
the
rest
of
the
team,
faleminderit/thank
you
so
much
for
your
incredible
kindness
and
hospitality
and
making
my
stay
in
Tirana
an
awesome
one.
I’m
definitely
looking
forward
to
coming
back
again
soon.
