Difficult to evaluate. If you are expecting a 3 star that is all singing all dancing -this place is not for you. If you like nature and walking and you just need a base from which to explore then you'll enjoy staying here. It is surrounded by a lake and treesThere are only a few staff who keep the place functioning. There is no daily room service but if you need anything just ask.The lady speaks no English but hey she's Albanian. Breakfast is basic. A drink, toast some tomatoes, meat and eggs. They claim to have a garden but nobody looks after it-it is just an overgrown mess. There is no direct access for cars etc. and therfore no car parking. You have to climb over two small walls to meet your taxi that is parked on a busy road. Not ideal. If you use the underpass to go into 'town' there are several supermarkets, coffee shops eateries and pastry outlets. I ate every night at'a snck bar' that was in liqueni i Thate. Great staff and not expensive. Infact Terana was not expensive. My taxi to and from the airport, 40 minutes one way was 15 euros. Local buses are on the other side of the highway. Sanderbeg Square is 45 minutes walk. The airport bus goes there. To summarise The Golden Garden is unique and querky but 3 star opulence it is not. I had no issues with my room and balcony, which ovelooked the local sports club and the views of the mountains in the background can be appreciated over a glass of wine. Would I stay ther again-probably, if they let me tidy up the garden!
