    Due to the location, there is a lot of noise at night which can last until 2/3am in the morning. Bring ear plugs! Also the air con in our room was not very good which during a heat wave, made our sleeping difficult.

    The location of this hotel is amazing! It is right in the centre of the old town and you can walk everywhere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the rooftop bar is very nice. The staff are very friendly.

    We stayed for one night. At first the AC wasn’t working well, but the staff were really kind and upgraded us to the hotel suite. The room was nice and had a special vibe. The hotel is inside Kotor’s old town, and the design fits the historic atmosphere. Breakfast was good, and the coffee was honestly one of the best I had in Montenegro.

    Only drawback is beyond their control as the old town pub is right next door so does get quite noisy in the evening! Had little to no impact for us.

    Bathrooms were slightly dark and there could have been more shelving/hooks and full-length mirror, especially when two people are sharing. The breakfast choice could be more varied. Although we were warned in advance about the nightclub at the rear of the hotel, we weren’t aware that it was actually outside in the courtyard, so even the triple glazing struggled to cope.

    Travellers might want to consider staying outside of the old town if they are after a quieter stay. Lovely to be inside the bustling city walls, but tourists from cruise liners are relentless and the bars and restaurants stay open late, with lots of noise bleed through the windows of the hotel. Great if you want the vibe, but worth consideration if you’re after a more relaxed stay.

    Welcoming staff, beautiful generous rooms and the rooftop terrace is a real bonus.

    It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit at breakfast and/or yoghurt. There didnt seem to be much consistency with the breakfast service in that other guests were offered some other options - e.g. salad. Also great coffee machine in room, but no pods?

    Excellent location and lovely room. Added extra bonus of a lovely roof top terrace for evening drinks looking out over the spectacular mountains (I think also you could have dinner out there, although we did not). Great time had.

    Our first room was right above an outdoor nightclub. In all our years of travel around the world, we have never encountered such a noisy room. The pulsing base and noise volume was off the charts. The next day we requested a quieter room and the staff was happy to accommodate our request. The second room was perfectly quiet!

    Excellent breakfast, great front desk staff, and perfect location.

    Easy to miss the first step when coming down from the second floor. Shower area didn't have shelves to put washing products on. Rickety sink tap and loose fitted towel rail needed maintenance. Couldn't plug the kettle as the socket was too far and the fridge made a dreadful noise. Finally, a bar below our bedroom was playing loud music until 1.00 am - we could hear the vibrations coming through the room. Breakfast was confusing as the waitress stipulated what was on offer only to realise that you could order cereal and other condiments - please put a menu to avoid confusion !!!

    Excellent location, friendly staff and clean room.

    Noise at night. Very popular and loud, late night (till 1 AM) Pub was under our window. I know hotel has no direct control over that, but they should warn you. And, provide ear plugs!

    Really noisy but the staff did provide ear plugs which helped. The noise from the bars and clubs around was pretty bad, and even in the corridors the doors are not sound proof so you can hear everyone talking as they come and go in the hallways. WiFi didn't work in room but did in the hotel lobby.

    When booking we did not appreciate that old town and our hotel was by the pubs and karaoke bars which were under our room and played music until 1am. Not the most restful experience.
