Shkodra
Set back from the busy main road and so nice and quiet, this is an old-fashioned family-run hotel that extends the warmest of welcomes. True, the rooms are fairly basic compared to some of the competition, but we think the timeless atmosphere makes up for that. All rooms are slightly different. We were fans of the bright green 'mountain' room.
There's free parking and free bicycles for guest use.
