La proprietà — Brumar
Brumar is a straightforward 3-star hotel three blocks back from the beach, so no sea views but far quieter than the promenade. The lobby is small, tiled, and functional — clean, with a front desk that speaks enough English, and a lounge area that doubles as the breakfast room. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a solid, clean base near the water without paying for resort frills.
Cronache di Durres
Durrës was founded by Greek colonists from Corinth and Corfu around 627 BC as Epidamnos; the Romans later renamed it Dyrrhachium. Its position on the Via Egnatia made it a key Adriatic port for centuries. The Ottoman era left a legacy of mosques and a massive城墙 that still edges the old town. Today it’s Albania’s second city, a gritty mix of communist-era blocks, recent beachfront development, and an active ferry port connecting to Bari.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Durres →I migliori mesi
May–June and September: warm enough for swimming (24–30°C), lighter crowds along the Riviera, and accommodation rates still below peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is the Albanian summer peak, driven by domestic holidays and Italian/Balkan ferry passengers. Hotel prices, including at Brumar, typically double from shoulder-season rates. The Durrës Summer Festival and beach concerts fill the town.
Stagione di spalla
Late May–early June and September–early October: temperatures stay pleasant (20–28°C), hotel rates drop 30–50%, and the beaches are quiet except weekends.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Durrës averages 32°C daytime but can spike to 38°C with an intense, dry heat. Pack light cotton and linen, a sun hat, and at least one long-sleeve item for sudden evening winds off the Adriatic.
Briefing della città — Durres
- The new pedestrian zone along the seafront promenade, completed in 2024, stretches nearly 2 km from the port to the amphitheatre — much safer for evening strolls.
- The ancient Byzantine Forum excavation near the city centre now has public viewing platforms, opened mid-2025.
- Ferry connections to Bari and Ancona run daily in summer, but check strike notices on Adria Ferries — they can disrupt departure schedules.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Brumar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (if available). These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise from the nearby main road, and the courtyard orientation avoids the morning rush on the front street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and those at the back of the building near the service staircase or lift shaft – 3-star hotels in Durres often have utility noise from early morning cleaning. Also skip any room directly above the reception or bar area (typically on the 1st floor) as evening footfall can be audible until late.
Best views
From a 3rd or 4th floor front-facing room you’ll get a partial sea view over the rooftops of Durres – the main street runs parallel to the coast. Rooms at the rear face a quieter residential area with no real view.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest – distant enough from the street and ground-floor common areas, but not high enough to suffer from wind noise or lift vibration on the top floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Durres’ main road (Rruga Taulantia) carries local traffic and buses until late. The hotel’s position on this street means front rooms get engine rumble and occasional horns. Rear-facing rooms are quieter but may hear neighbouring apartments’ dogs or TVs.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to request a top-floor courtyard-facing room – these aren’t advertised but staff can allocate them if available. 2. Breakfast is served downstairs; if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the stairwell to avoid early morning footsteps.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
