It is a Hotel quite hidden, but very centric. There is no restaurant, the AC is not used… free breakfast not worth paying… we couldn’t eat anything. Only the 5th floor is the hotel everything else apartments or offices. There is a Morca accross from it that makes noises at 10pm and about 4:30am. No one comprehends English only Enev a young food server and the parking attendant who lived in Australia. There is a restaurant (local) behind hotel near pizzeria the offers traditional very tasty and inexpensive food. Go to the Lake and National Park Thef. Also attend the Memory and Witness museum near by.

perfect hotel in the centre of everything, lovely room, and nice rooftop bar.

Mixed Experience

The room itself was nice but the elevator was broken and we were in 7th floor. The stairway has no working lights and was full of cigarette nuts, trash, and exposed wires. The window in the bathroom was without a curtain or blinds and looked directly down on their dining patio. We had to improvise a curtain so that we could shower or dress in the bathroom without exposing ourselves to patrons of the restaurant.

Shkoder is an amazing city and Hotel Chicago is in the perfect spot. Please note, the hotel starts on the 4th floor and there are several stairs the need to be climbed to get to the elevator and then to the hotel itself. People with mobility issues should check ahead of time.

The room was very spacious with the TV in the living room and one in the bedroom, the Wi-Fi worked very well, the breakfast was good, the room was clean, and it was a very good location. The guy who helps you park your car is phenomenal. Such a nice guy and so helpful. The front desk people, the people who work in the breakfast buffet, everyone was so nice. The only thing that needs work, and I think they were in the process but didn’t get it quite done, was only having a bathtub because there was no shower curtain. We highly recommend hotel Chicago. The picture is of my wife and I at the palace which we could see from our hotel window.

It was an okay stay. Staff was amazing. Facility was so-so. Breakfast was a sit down, service breakfast- very nice! but not our type of food. It would have been nice to choose how our eggs were cooked or something like vegetarian vs meat lovers. Breakfast was gluten and meat heavy. Two things we don’t eat. Having 1 or 2 options vs only one option serves all would have been easier to work with.

Convenient location, nice facilities, reasonable price. Overall would stay again, my comments are simply suggestions for improvement.

The service was above and beyond expectations. My wife had an accident while hiking in Theth, and we had to come immediately back to Shkodër. The staff was so kind and accommodating, helping us with everything we needed, giving us the closest room to the elevator, service from the hotel restaurant (delicious food), ice from the bar to help with my wife’s injury, etc. I can’t say enough about how kind everyone was. On top of that all, the room was excellent, spotless clean, and very comfortable bed. Thank you Hotel Chicago!

Wonderful!

The staff here is absolutely phenomenal!! I fell a little in love with the girls at the front desk ((Ola, Marcella, and Estella). They were SO positive, kind, welcoming, and helpful! Fabiola at breakfast is also FABULOUS!

The hotel is super cool! It's both modern and comfortable. It's located in a pedestrian zone filled with shops and restaurants. The bus stop is also an easy walk. A tourist information center is also an easy walk.

Highly recommend!

Please note that our map navigation didn't take us to the front of the hotel. Set your destination for the Mother Teresa statue and if she is on your right side, make the first right-hand turn onto the white marble road and you'll see the hotel. It faces the Xhamia e Madhe-Ebu Bekr Mosque. About us: we are a normal couple of working class Americans from Alabama. The hotel treated us like the most important guests they'd ever had. They are the nicest people, they took car of everything, parked our car, made sure we didn't leave without a traditional Albanian breakfast. The room was immaculate. The restaurant is off from the bar where there's no smoking. Food is great. The manager helped us plan our tour of Shkoder which is a very pretty city. This is a five star hotel experience for 3-star prices. I highly recommend it!

Good/Bad and smoke filled

The Good/Bad and Smoke Filled

Pros: Rooms are very nice and fairly new, bathroom was spotless and the shower is wonderful.

Hotel is located in a great location, close to the main square and restaurants. The staff was all very good and very nice, the girls at the front desk and the bar were very helpful.

Cons: Biggest issue is the main lobby/restaurant area is a smoking restaurant. So while you are eating breakfast there is smoke everywhere.

The Wifi in the room also did not work... we had to sit by the door in our room hallway to book our onward tickets or use the wifi at all.

The rooms themselves don't smell like smoke and there is no smoking in the hotel rooms itself which was nice.

Breakfast is pretty good its just different, you don't actually pick what you eat, they just bring a plate full of spinach pastries, eggs, bread, tomatoes, cucumbers and random other bits.

Great location in heart of town

Room was on small side, but was comfortable, modern and clean.

Location was great. Right in centre.

Strange access via basement floor, down stairs then up lift to fourth floor - but there was staff member to help outside with luggage.

If arriving by car: DO NOT USE GOOGLE MAPS. It will try and take you to the rear of the property via narrow one way streets. Parking is at the front of the property.

Hotel Chicago was extremely helpful with accommodating our 3 person group on short notice.

Hotel staff was always available to help us with parking. The Hotel is ideally situated in the City Center on a promenade. It is a busy place, but you are perfectly located.

We planned an independent day trip to Komani Lake. Hotel staff not only helped us book our shuttle packed a beautiful breakfast for our 6AM departure.

Breakfast buffet is in a covered airy panoramic room overlooking the City scape.

If you are visiting Shkoder, Albania don’t hesitate to book a room here.

Juuri rempattu

Yllättävän hyvätasoinen majoitus kylässä, jossa ei ole mitään nähtävää ja koettavaa.
Hotelli sijaitsee toisen hotellin päällä, kulku kujalta hissillä.
Rempattu suht hiljattain ja suomalaisenkin mittapuun mukaan siististi, mikäli ei oteta lukuun työnjälkeä.
Tilava huone, toimiva ilmastointi ja muutenkin kaikki hyvin.
Aamiaspuhvetti hyvä, huono suomalainen Scandic häviää tälle. Suosittelen jos tähän tuppukylään jostain syystä eksyy, silloinkin yksi yö piisaa.
