Hotels near Papaj

A stunning hotel in the middle of a quiet mountain with an amazing view. The staff is very attentive and kind. I loved it. I will definitely be back.

The accommodation is set in a stunning location surrounded by hills. Mrs. Zamira and her family are exceptional hosts, always willing to lend a hand. After a long motorcycle journey, they warmly welcomed us with refreshing water and fresh fruit. The entire property is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The portions are generous and truly delicious. We will definitely return—and next time, for more than just one night.

Never had such a comfortable bed! It felt like sleeping on clouds! Location is great, a lot of restaurants, cafés and bars close by. Even though it was on the main pedestrian street it was very quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Told us where to leave our car, prepared a breakfast package as we had to leave very early and we could leave our luggage there for several days while we went to Valbona and Theth for hiking.

Lovely spacious super clean room with lovely owners who were easily contactable our entire stay. We are backpackers and just stayed here the night after our hike for some comfort. Would 100% recommend staying here. It is a very new accommodation so doesn’t have many reviews yet, please don’t let this put you off booking your stay here. It was like home away from home. Thank you so much!

It was brand new and very comfortable in a quiet street just minutes from the key areas and restaurants. Staff were super helpful. Ideal place to stay

The hotel had big spacious rooms, everything was very clean. Breakfast was included in the price and it had a lot of options we could choose.

Amazing location — right in the heart of Shkodër, just steps away from the main boulevard, cafes, and attractions. • Spotless rooms — very clean, modern, and well-maintained. • Comfortable beds — I had great sleep every night. • Friendly and helpful staff — they made check-in smooth and were always available for questions. • Strong Wi-Fi and good air conditioning — ideal for both work and relaxation. • Private parking available — a big plus in the city center.

I always look the the reviews when looking at where to stay, and am never exactly sure what to think about a newish hotel that has a really high rating. But The Roots more than lived up the rating that they have. I loved everything about my stay. Originally I booked for 2 nights, but enjoyed Shkoder so much that I extended for another night, and didn’t think twice about staying put at The Roots. When first dropped off in the street were the hotel is located it felt a bit quite and out of the way, but I soon discovered that it is only a 3 minute stroll to the pedonale which actually makes it super central and yet away from noise and traffic. The room was excellent. All of the hotel was located on the 1 floor. As the hotel is quite recent, all of the fixtures and furniture were fresh and clean. The room was quite spacious with more than enough room to move around the bed and baggage with ease. The bed was delightfully comfortable; the perfect mix of support with softness. There was a small terrace/ balcony off each room which I didn’t utilize as it was quite cold, but can imagine it would be a nice place to sit in warmer weather and enjoy a quiet drink. The staff were super helpful; Badr was very friendly and gave excellent advice and help in getting me on a day trip to Koman Lake and Shala River (tip- if you go to either of these places and it is cool in Shkoder, it will be really cold on the river- bring warm clothes for the boat!), as well as helping with taxis, local knowledge and plans for further travel. I loved Shkoder and I hope to return someday. And if I do it will be a no-brainer that I will book a room at The Roots.

The staff, the location, the food, the bed, the pillows, the quiet- FANTASTIC!
