    Only dislike is that the hostel is a 50 minute walk from Bar bus station and it's quite a climb to reach. Excluding that, it's an excellent hostel, highly recommend

    Exceptionally clean and modern facilities, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, let me check in slightly earlier which was an absolute relief! Lockers provided, towels also.

    The only downsides were the small bathroom, which tends to flood if you take a longer shower, and the limited parking space. Still, overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!

    We had a lovely stay! The beach is just a 10-minute easy walk from the accommodation, which was perfect for us. The room was clean and comfortable, and the owners were always available and helpful whenever we needed anything. The kitchen is spacious and well-organized, with enough room for everyone to store their things and cook.

    Some spider webs in the lower level hangout area, the floor could be washed also. But it's alright.

    Everything. The host and hostess are the sweetest people I have met in years. I felt as if they were relatives. Great people, warm hearted, social and sophisticated. The property has a massive garden to hang out, and two covered areas with modern chairs and tables. The kitchen has all the utensils you need to even cook a Christmas dinner 😆😁 800 mts from everything, yes its up the hill, but once you arrive you forget about the hill bc the AC actually works, the bathroom is modern and beds dont make noise. They are framed to the wall and don't move 🤓

    RFID cards are needed to enter the room and they might stop working suddenly (happened twice for four nights). Location is not bad — it's pretty close to the coast and shops — still you have walk quite a bit to the bus/train station (which is not a problem to me). Only cash is accepted (that's standard for Montenegro as well as other neighboring countries). Many people smoke a lot so if your window/door is open, you might be disturbed by the cigarette smell. People smoke even on terrace near the shared kitchen which is super annoying (still, that's also standard for Montenegro and even less a problem than in e.g. Serbia). I didn't quite get this moment but I feel like I paid city tax twice: once in the hostel and once in the tourist buro (but I might be wrong).

    The host is very attentive and kind. All facilities were clean and new. Bathroom is in the room so it is shared just among those in there. Beds are comfortable. There is an air conditioner in the room (heat/dry/... modes are available). Host shared his telegram account so I could write him directly if I need something. Overall if I need a hostel in Montenegro coast I'll stay here again.

    One of the best places in my last time, really quiet, modern and close to the sea coast. All facilities are on the top of the range. Air-conditioning and shower in each one room, all the stuff absolutely new. Big kitchen, big terrace, and balconies with sea view. Additional regards to Antonio for the help of any possible questions about the city and others. Too glad to stay, and exactly will come back like less one more time. 🙏

    Communication needs improvement. I exchanged a couple of messages from the hotel, and then the guest told me that the management couldn’t reach me. It was impossible to quickly resolve anything when we could take a couple of days to relay messages. On the other hand, my friends were not asked to leave because of the lack of payment.

    As great as this stay was, I will never again book a hotel that cannot be paid through Booking.com. It has been a nightmare trying to pay from the USA (this stay was a gift, so the payor was not the guest) has been a nightmare.

    The bathroom inside the room is a mistake. Also there is no division between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, so every time the entire floor gets wet.

    Nice place not so far away from the ocean. Really calmed atmosphere and people to talk with. A big kitchen with everything you might need the rooms are comfortable with air conditioning, that makes life easier during the hot time.

    There was no internet for a couple of days, but that was the fault of others, not the hotel. The administrator was always helpful and on the last day the internet was available. Everything was super, thank you!

    A good accommodation option for the money. The hotel is close to the beach, there are shops nearby. The administrator Alexander is very kind and polite. We liked everything very much. Thank you very much!

    Everything was great🥰

    Indeed, it is the best place for lovers of nature and tranquility.. The hostel was very clean and the treatment was good. It also has smart locks for all the rooms. What distinguishes the place is that it has balconies overlooking the mountain and the sea from both sides and is close to restaurants, the sea and supermarkets.... Simply the best.. Thank you Mr. Alexander..
