Reviews of Boutique Hotel Hippocampus 4 stars

Location and roof top restaurant were excellent

Breakfast was average and the air conditioning didn’t work well enough

It’s in old town. Cute. Large rooms. Unique.

The air conditioner didn’t work all night even when we put it at 16 degree. It was so hot and we couldn’t sleep all night long. When we complained in the morning the receptionist didn’t understand or help us feel better. She just said it’s hot outside that is why it was hot in the room which makes no sense.

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.

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.

Great hotel in centre of old town

Can be a little noisy in the summer.

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.

Comfortable bed, great rooftop terrace, friendly and helpful staff.

Cocktails were very disappointing

Beautiful hotel, central location in the old town, lovely staff

The noise from the clubs next door kept us awake

Lovely location in the centre of the old town!

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.

Historic nice hotel with an elevator. Nice room with a gold board with the room number right under the door. Friendly staff. The bar with a restaurant on the terrace was nice and refreshing.

Difficult accessibility in the old town of Kotor - finding the hotel through the narrow streets typical of this town. This is not a mistake; it is a fact.

It’s beautifully decorated, central in old city of Kotor. Staff and manager very welcoming and helpful.

A bit noisy at night due to it’s location near pubs and cafes

We loved the location of the hotel. Right in the middle of the Old Town, but very close to drop off and pick up points. The rooms were very comfortable, the bed particularly, and lots of space for 2 persons . The complimentary breakfast was quite adequate and we were all happy with it.

We liked everything .

Great location , fantastic design and decoration

Room was extremely comfortable, service was impeccable, rooftop restaurant was amazing.

Noise into the morning from nearby clubs. But we were warned!!

Comfortable beds, rooftop bar, friendly staff.

Loud music from bar below room until 1am. Local breakfast was good but a choice of fruit & yoghurt would have been good.

The location was perfect, in the heart of the old town, staff were friendly and helpful

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.

This was a fabulous find . We were blown away by the quality of furnishings in this boutique hotel in kotor old town . Staff were very friendly and breakfast was fantastic . Memorable place 😊

Loved everything

Big rooms .. clever design

Not much light on second floor

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

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.

The location and all the employees except one person they are wonderful people. The owner lady, Merve and Necip

Don't stay in room 503, I don't know about the other rooms!!! The room is nice but it's impossible to sleep because of the noise, there's no music or anything, just people braying and having fun, and the hotel has a terrace cafe above it, and the sounds of tables and chairs in the early hours of the morning. Insulation is a must!!! At the breakfast 9 am,sorry no croissant ,no white bread..2 mornings we had that problem,than i told them,you must know guest number,and you must supply everything according to guest number because breakfast finish at 10 am . There are no shelves in the room, nowhere to put your things and the mirrors are at the top, I'm 1.60 cm, it's impossible to see yourself. The room was cold, it was central heating, it was summer, the weather got bad and we froze the first night, the sweet and kind hotel owner took care of it right away. We woke up, bingo, no water. It must be because it's the old city, it came at around 9:30, a water tank should be considered.

Dissapointing! We booked a superior room, really nice, but broken as well. The shade of the window in front of the bed were broken, so you woke up at sunset; the lamp next to the bed was broken as well, so you had to turn on the big light. The room had two TVs, without any channels. I tried several times to tell someone in recepction, at least to fix the issue with the window, but it was always empty. When I told them during the check-out there wasn't any apology, just justifications like or you have to plug something on the TV to watch it, when I said no one told us and there wasn't anything at the room, I just received silence as an answer. I really expected more from a 4 star hotel boutique, but I guess it is like my husband said, it is just an nice looking and expensive hostel.
