It's 2 miles from Skanderberg Square, and 10 miles / under 30 minutes from the airport. There are quite a few places within walking distance, it's inside the downtown loop, just. Taxis are cheap and easy in Tirana, from the HGI to Skanderberg it would be about 4€ and to the airport about 15€. Public transport is at near give-away prices and easy to use, 40 cents a ride. There are plenty of cheap and good-ish quality non chain hotels nearer in to the centre. The HGI is very new however.
