The location just in front of the beach, amazing sunset view. Spacious balcony to sit outside. Everything was new and well taken care of. Great shower, big comfy bed, enough space in the room. Parking right next and under the hotel. Breakfasts were really good, also the coffee. People friendly and helpful, with a lot of charm and character. Nice walk on the pier into the sea to enjoy even more views. Food in the restaurant also really good, especially seafood plates. They take great care of you.

This was our first visit to Durres, and as we wanted a beachfront hotel with private beach access, this hotel made it on to our shortlist. So, after comparing a few other available options we chose Aragosta and we definitely made the right decision. From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. We also discovered that the entire hotel had recently been renovated so felt very fresh. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable too. The included seaside breakfast buffet was excellent and all the restaurant staff, both at breakfast and at dinner, were also very welcoming. The private beach access was perfect as well as it was right at our doorstep and the sunsets were stunning. We are happy to recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to enjoy a seaside hotel in Durres and look forward to staying at Aragosta again.

We had a wonderful time at Aragosta Hotel and Restaurant. We stayed at Aragosta for a week in early September and the weather and beach were lovely! Breakfast is held in the restaurant which is stunning with a great view of the beach. Breakfast itself is also really good, with pastries, fruit, yogurt etc. We really enjoyed the beach loungers and the water was lovely. There are lots of restaurants/cafes within walking distance of aragosta which we really enjoyed. When booking our accommodation in Durres we were looking for somewhere that we could catch up over cocktails and then sun tan on the beach - aragosta was perfect for that :)

There was a bit of mould in the shower, and some days there weren't enough beach towels for all guests.

The view of the sea and how clean the room was. Unlimited access to the private beach.

The complimentary bottled water was not provided as promised, and when requested, only one bottle was provided for the two guests for one day, and none were provided for the remaining three nights. The breakfast options were limited and repetitive, and the standard restaurant meals were overpriced. Also, the traffic conditions in the evening hours until late at night were quite challenging and caused significant inconvenience.

I’m an event manager and travel a lot around Albania. This time, I had a big event in Durres and stayed at Hotel Aragosta. I chose it because it was close to my event and in a great location in Durres. The hotel was great! The staff was very welcoming, and the room was cozy. The best part was waking up to an amazing sea view every morning. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nice and convenient stay!

This time, I wasn’t alone—I was with a colleague who was also very pleased with the experience. As for the beach we didn’t go to the beach since we were in Durres for work, but the view was stunning from both my room and the restaurant. As for the room it was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very cozy. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room had all the essentials for a pleasant stay. Breakfast was a highlight, a fantastic buffet with fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes.

The hotel is located in a nice and central location and is surrounded by excellent restaurants and bars. It has a private beach which ensures safety and security. The staff are tremendous, warm and helpful. All in all, anyone not from Albania and travelling to Durrës for the first time, pls stay here and you’ll face no issues

Everything was top notch, no complaints whatsoever.

I liked the location, cleanliness of the room and very soft towels, very good food in the restaurant.

I understand that the hotel is still on reconstruction, but we really lacked chair(s) for the writing table and hair dryer. Then, it would help if the man at the reception could speak better English ... it would prevent some misunderstanding(s) ... Anyway, he was kind and helpful, he did his best he could do at the moment :)

Basically I liked everything, only one thing could be better if the restaurant would be open for the guests at least to get some dinner on the 31st December. I arrived late and after 10pm I couldn't eat anything there or nearby, I was starving but other days dinners were delicious. Great location, quiet room, amazing sea view from the balcony, it is a nice hotel anyway.

My room at the Aragosta hotel overlooked the sea and had a good size balcony. The room was extremely large and comfortable with a beautiful big bathroom. The decor was chic and modern . I was very comfortable. The Aragosta restaurant is very good and served excellent seafood . The beach was easy to access and the water was beautiful!

Everything was great !
