    Excellent Hotel

    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.

    I am going to start by saying that I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. The room was super clean and the food was exceptional. The hotel probably has the best rooftop in old town, which makes dining experience memorable. The view of the fortress from the rooftop is stunning. I would definitely go back and recommend this place to everyone visiting Kotor.

    I liked everything.

    I don’t think I stated a preference for a quiet room since I was aware that there would be noise at night in Old Town. It got quiet not too late. I was very happy with my choice of hotel. I would recommend it. And the restaurant is fabulous, serving some of the best food at the atmospheric rooftop. Staff was great at the hotel and restaurant.

    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.

    Lovely location in the centre of old town. Great food. Perfect lunch menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    I know people have complained about the loud music from the local club/bar but our room was quiet. Room #303!

    We loved having dinner on the rooftop. Dino and Philip made our dinner experience exceptional. I loved that there was an elevator to take our luggage up to our room.

    Not easy to find the location of the hotel when arrived to old town. There should be detailed directions plus hotel signs. At nights noisy due to pubs around. Breakfast could be reacher.

Staff very helpful, part of our luggage came the day after we checked-in, when we were out driving. Staff took care about everything and picked it up at the north gate of Starigraf Kotor.

    Mini fridge was more warm than cold, but upon request this was fixed. It wasn't an issue for us as we were on the 1st floor but the lift wasn't working for the entire stay there! No draft beer on the rooftop :(

    Amazing location in the heart of Kotor old town. Very friendly staff and nice breakfast! Rooms are very elegant, our view was right onto the street which was amazing.

    Not very easy to access especially if arriving by car. A long walk with large suitcases through the old town cobbled streets. No balcony on the room as it is part of the old city and all buildings are closely packed together.

    An amazing location in the heart of Old Town Kotor. Lots of places to eat and drink and shop.
