The hotel boasts of 2 x 25 metres inside swimming pools, with welcoming temperatures and excellent availability, a sizeable fitness centre, well-equipped, also with excellent availability, 2 toddlers pools, watching areas, a reception with pertaining accessories (goggles, caps, snacks ...). The rooms are sizeable, with good illumination (natural and artificial), excellent internet service everywhere, well-equipped spa for diverse services, with a sizeable jacuzzi, a good sauna, steam room and salt room, where towels and robes are available. Everything working better than all my other experiences at 5 stars hotels, such as G Max, Royal, Klajdi, and a 4 star hotel, Germany. (All in the Durres beach area) ||Unlike the others, there are no safes and the TV service is rather poor, although only losing to Royal Durres, but management immediately accommodated me with a safe, bought on purpose, and a TV box, which enables me to see all the available channels in the country.||The room service, the restaurant service, the kitchen service, the reception service, is not only quite good, but the atmosphere is very welcoming, with a fast response to a guest's claim. Everything is done to make the guest feel at home.||There is a sizeable outside swimming pool, a table tennis table with available bats and ball, live music every weekend as well as on holidays and at parties, quite appealing, which ends promoting dancing, and the food is excellent. Unfortunately they do not serve fish.||There is a lot of space whether interior or exterior, and 2 quality malls nearby complement well any other needs (SIM card, very good supermarket, good clothes shops, etc.)||The breakfast is in the form of a buffet, and quite good enough (varied).||This hotel is a real find, about 15 minutes from the airport and the city centre, and about 20 minutes from the beach.||It is the best hotel in terms of space, swimming pools, temperatures, including room heating, children's playground, with various slides and others, conference rooms (more than one), various eating areas, whether inside or outside, with its own beer factory, quite famous, I hear of excellent quality (I don't drink beer).||Some of the frequent guests are pilots, flight crews, trainers, international swimmers.||There is also a permanent shuttle service, whether for the airport, the city or elsewhere, and offices accommodating diverse types of bookings.||The area is well guarded, and one feels quite safe and comfortable.||Unbeatable, except that is is not by the beach and does not serve fish. Otherwise it has no match.

We are currently touring Europe in a camper van and yesterday I decided we should treat ourselves to a hotel for the night! The requirements were ... great shower, gym, pool, comfy bed, secure parking for the van and nice food - Te Stela ticked all the boxes and more! The hotel has some great reviews but I was almost put off by some negative comments. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels and for me it's important that the staff are happy and the place is clean. The lady on reception, gym staff, waiters and cleaners were super lovely and their English was superb. I'd also read some comments about it being 'typically Albanian' as a negative. I LOVED this about the hotel. We're in Albania! Of course I want that experience and not a bland chain hotel. The gym was great, the food was great, breakfast was a simple but tasty buffet. Yes the hotel is off an industrial estate but that was just perfect for us! No driving through the busy city and lots of big parking spaces with a security guard on site and locked gates. The shower was a huge rain shower (we treated ourselves to the junior suite for £50 !!) We'd also read the comments about noisy live music but there was none so a very peaceful night in a super comfy bed. Just an all round wonderful experience.
