Rose Garden Hotel

Top choice in Shkodra


A wonderfully restored old town-house, the Rose Garden is all clean modern lines dusted with touches of old-fashioned class. Rooms are exceptionally inviting and include filigree door frames. The real highlight of a stay, though, is the hidden courtyard garden (which extends its botanical knowledge to more than just roses); sitting here with a good book is just perfect.
