Arvi

Went to lunch with friends while walking around Durrës. I had the Spicy Octopus appetizer. It reminded me of the Pulpo Fiera I had in O Cebriero on the Camino. I also had the Calf Filet with Fig & Plum. It was one of the best steak meals I’ve had in Albania. Tender, medium rare, great sauce and awesome presentation. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at Hotel Arvi in Durrës and overall had a good experience with some things that could be improved. The biggest highlight was definitely the staff and service. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. It’s clear that the team cares about the guests and works hard to provide a great experience. This made a strong positive impression. The room was spacious and the bed was big and comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. Also, the hotel in general is very clean – the room, lobby, and common areas were all well-maintained. However, the bathroom needs serious attention. The shower was disappointing – instead of a proper showerhead, there was just a thin hose, which made showering very uncomfortable. This felt below the standard expected from a hotel like this. I really recommend the hotel renovate the bathrooms to match the overall quality of the rest of the space. Breakfast was simple, clean, and organized, but the variety was limited. It was enough for a light start to the day, but don’t expect a big selection. To sum it up – clean hotel, amazing staff, and excellent service. If the bathrooms are updated, this hotel could easily be a top choice in Durrës. I would consider staying here again, mainly because of the great team working at the hotel.

Center location, super close to the beach and nice sea view. Our room was small and old but functional. The airco was noisy but we made through the night. Breakfast basic but fine if are not planning to stay for 1 week. Our major problem was that they put us not clean sheets with a blood stain in it and all we got was new sheets (wrong size btw) that we had to change ourselves
