Where to Stay in Tirana for Dental Tourism: Best Hotels Near Clinics (2026)

Finding the Perfect Base for Your Dental Trip

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Tirana for dental tourism is the cost of living. While you save 60–80% on dental treatments compared to the UK or Western Europe, your accommodation costs will be a fraction of what you would pay in London, Rome, or Berlin. Tirana offers everything from stylish boutique hotels to international 5-star chains, all at remarkably affordable prices.

This guide covers the best neighbourhoods, real hotel options, and practical tips to make your dental trip as comfortable as possible.

Best Neighbourhoods for Dental Tourists

Tirana is a compact, walkable city. Most dental clinics are located in or near the city centre, which means you have several excellent neighbourhoods to choose from.

Blloku (The Block)

Once reserved exclusively for Albania’s communist-era elite, Blloku is now the trendiest neighbourhood in Tirana. It is packed with cafes, restaurants, bars, and boutique shops. If you want a lively atmosphere and the best dining options within walking distance, Blloku is your top choice.

• Walking distance to most dental clinics in central Tirana
• Excellent restaurant and cafe scene
• Vibrant nightlife if you are feeling well enough after treatment
• Mix of boutique hotels and serviced apartments

Skanderbeg Square and City Centre

The heart of Tirana, Skanderbeg Square, is surrounded by museums, historic buildings, and shopping streets. Staying here puts you within minutes of major landmarks and clinics alike. According to travel platforms, there are over 850 accommodation options near Skanderbeg Square, starting from as low as €35 per night.

• Central location with easy access to everything
• Home to Tirana’s major 5-star hotels
• Close to the National History Museum, Et’hem Bey Mosque, and the Opera
• Best for first-time visitors who want to explore the city

New Bazaar (Pazari i Ri)

Tirana’s revitalised market district blends old-world charm with modern renovation. The area is known for its fresh produce market, artisan shops, and some of the city’s best traditional restaurants.

• Authentic local atmosphere
• Excellent food options including the famous New Bazaar food market
• More affordable accommodation than Blloku
• A 10–15 minute walk to most central clinics

Hotel Recommendations by Budget

Below is a practical breakdown of real accommodation options in Tirana, organised by budget level. Prices are approximate nightly rates and may vary by season.

Budget-Friendly: €25–50 per Night

Tirana’s budget accommodation scene is excellent. You can find clean, comfortable rooms for a fraction of what a budget hotel costs in Western Europe.

Option	Area	Highlights	Approx. Price
Red Goat Hostel	City Centre	Stylish hostel, breakfast included, private rooms available	€20–45
Vila Jasmine	Near Skanderbeg Sq.	10-min walk to centre, quiet location, good reviews	€40–50
Airbnb apartments	Blloku / Centre	Full kitchen, more space, home comforts for recovery	€25–45

Tip for dental tourists: A serviced apartment with a kitchen is ideal if you are having oral surgery. You can prepare soft foods and smoothies at your own pace during recovery.

Mid-Range Comfort: €50–90 per Night

Mid-range hotels in Tirana offer a level of comfort and service that would cost two to three times more in London or Rome. Expect modern rooms, good breakfast, and helpful staff.

Option	Area	Highlights	Approx. Price

Blloku Unique Apartments	Blloku	Heart of Blloku, fully equipped kitchen, spacious	€50–65

Maritim Hotel Plaza Tirana	Skanderbeg Square	5-star, three restaurants, Oblivion spa, prime location	€130–180
Tirana Marriott Hotel	City Centre	International brand, modern design, gym and wellness centre	€110–160
Rogner Hotel Tirana	Near Centre	5-star, outdoor pool, spa, tennis court, garden setting	€100–150

Even at the luxury level, you will notice that prices are 50–70% less than equivalent hotels in London, Paris, or Milan. A 5-star hotel in Tirana for €150 per night would cost €350–500 in a major Western European city.

Practical Tips for Dental Tourists

• Book close to your clinic: Ask your dental clinic for the exact address and choose accommodation within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Tirana taxis are very affordable (€2–5 for most trips within the centre).
• Choose a place with a kitchen: After oral surgery or implant placement, you will need soft foods for several days. A kitchen gives you flexibility.
• Check for airport transfer: Many hotels offer free or low-cost airport pickup. Empire Dental Clinic also provides airport transfers for tourism patients.
• Book for at least 5–7 nights: Most dental treatments require several appointments spread over a few days. Give yourself time to recover and explore.
• Consider extended stays: For longer treatment plans, many hotels and apartments offer weekly or monthly discounts that bring the nightly rate even lower.
