Stay Lifehacks

The main advice to give about this hotel is to take advantage of the local taxi culture. Taxis in Pristina are reliable, they are very inexpensive and this is the best way to make up for the distance between the calm area where the hotel is located and inside city center bustle. A clever hack is always having a trusted taxi called by one of reception staff (who all seem friendly) at any time wanted trip down town. A single quick ride to central Newborn Monument or Bulevardi Nënë Tereza should cost only couple euros which allows having best both worlds: sleeping in high quality calm hotel with easy cheap access core city's alive.

Plan your days while you are visiting the city center to make the most out of it, within walking distance. A good walking tour starts from the unique-and also unanimously voted "ugly"-National Library building. Walking distance to the beautiful modern cathedral of Mother Teresa.<br> (Do not forget to get into the elevator up in her bell tower for a great panoramic view above the city.) Continue further down on its main pedestrian street Bulevardi Nene Tereza, which is basically heart caffeinated Pristina-find spot enjoy 'macchiato' with locals. This same street leads over towards older historical parts containing Old Bazaar(Çarshia e Vjetër)and imposing Sultan Mehmet Fatih mosque.

Often identified as Ador Restaurant, the hotel’s own restaurant is quite good particularly with Italian food and also for a convenient dinner. Here is a great tip: ask any member of the hotel staff to recommend his or her favorite local qebaptore (kebab house) or someplace serving traditional Albanian dishes such as flija or tavë. This will give you an insight into their personal favorites among Pristina’s dining options.[160] The centrally located trendy ‘Rakia Street’ area (Qamil Hoxha) contains restaurants offering huge variety both modern and traditional cuisines, it is another fantastic place to spend an evening.

In case you have a car, maximize the use of free parking at the hotel and its strategic location as a perfect base for exploration of amazing sites outside Pristina. Highly recommended is a day trip to the city of Prizren, about 90 minutes away by road. Prizren happens to be Kosovo's historical and cultural jewel with an awesome Ottoman-era stone bridge, lovely river, and hilltop fortress offering spectacular views. For something much closer, just about 20 minutes' drive from the hotel brings one to Gračanica Monastery-UNESCO World Heritage Site laden with history significant not only regionally but beyond.
