Panorama Hotel Restaurant

First of all. The location is so perfect. You have a beautiful view on the city. Especially at night it is like a fairytale. The accommodation itself is perfect price/quality. The beds and room is clean, good bathroom and nice terrace with amazing views. The staff is super friendly and helps you with everything. The food is so much for a cheap price. It was one of the best we had in Albania! Recommend!

We only had lunch here, we didn't stay overnight. However, the view is awesome, the service is awesome and the food is.. good. The truffle ravioli is incredibly salty, but with enough drinking you'll get through it. The waiter was very friendly.

We stayed for one night in August 2025 at the Panorama Hotel. We took the Dajti Ekspres cable car up the mountain, and to our surprise, a free shuttle bus was waiting for guests at the top. We used the shuttle service, because it was raining heavily and even storming on the mountain, a very different atmosphere from the weather in the valley. At the hotel, we were warmly welcomed. We had originally booked a bungalow, but were kindly offered a room with an amazing view at no extra cost – and the view was definitely worth it! The room was modern, had air conditioning, and the bathroom was clean and nicely renovated. In the evening, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food was well presented and tasty. We were even given a complimentary cheese platter, which was a lovely touch. We ordered two drinks during dinner and, although we could have taken them with us afterward, they were kindly brought to our room – great service! The hotel was very quiet during our stay, which was sad, because it’s such a beautiful place with a fantastic view and service and deserves more guests. Breakfast was served on the terrace, and we were even asked what time we preferred – everything was very accommodating and tailored to us. One important tip: the Dajti Ekspres is closed on Tuesdays! We had planned to return to the valley that day, but the hotel arranged a taxi for us without any issue. Conclusion: An enjoyable stay with a stunning view, a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, and truly attentive service. Highly recommended!

There is a sign that says that Panorama is a 1km-10min walk far- DO NOT believe this sign, the restaurant is around 25 minutes walk. There is a free van that can take you from the cable car to the restaurant and back. The van goes back and forth all day. Visited the restaurant on an August Sunday. The restaurant was very quiet and relaxing. I sat in the balcony and the view was beautiful. Service was fast and nice. We were very thirsty but their bottled water wasn’t too cold and they didn’t serve ice. We got the fries which were good, the grilled cheese which I do not recommend, the toasted bread came for free. There was a mini self service salad bar- a plate cost 300 lek and some of the options available were tomatoes, cucumber, xaxiki, coleslaw, olives. Overall a good place.

Fantastic rooms with a balcony view. Food - great choice with plenty on offer, selection of local food and the chef cooks to your liking. Location is great, picturesque and quiet. Rooms great and clean. Staff - Glene the best waiter and service we have had on a travelling experience/holiday ever. Cannot rate this man higher, he makes the place shine.

One of the best places I've ever been. Wonderful view of Tirana city. Local and delicious food. All this is mixed with warm welcome and professional service of the staff. If you are looking for a relax environment and enjoying a delicious meal, this is the place to go.
