Hotel Ami Budva Petrovac

“A nice stay but not easily accessible”

Stayed here for 4 nights. Conveniently located a 5-7min walk from the main beach area of Petrovac. Service was good- not outstanding but decent.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Conveniently located a 5-7min walk from the main beach area of Petrovac. Service was good- not outstanding but decent. One thing that really irked me was the fact that I had a baby in a pushchair and was located in the tower with one broken lift and no direct access to the breakfast area. This meant that to get to breakfast you had to take two lifts and they were very busy. Many of the places were also not directly accessible with a pushchair or wheelchair. From the entrances where you needed someone to open the door for you to the swimming pool. The indoor swimming pool was great- a lovely garden space too. Our room was nice but often smelt when the AC was on- not sure why. Breakfast offering was decent for Europe.

“Close to being very good”

We stayed here the last week of July. Aspects of the hotel work well, such as the staff and the facilities. We found the breakfast good and varied and whilst more expensive than local restaurants and supermarkets, the in house food wasnt that much more expensive. It just needs a bit of common sense. For example, there's a good singer and live music nightly. The 2 days it rained it worked perfectly in the cocktail bar inside with him singing. Instead for the other days the music was outside in front of barely anyone and meant up to floor 9 and 10 you could hear it clearly. It's only until 11pm but with a toddler (and many kids at the hotel), it was an odd move. Then you have one lift randomely out the whole time, meaning one lift was very busy. They said it was for refurbishment, but staff were regularly using it. Easy to fix issues. I'd also say the hotel could put in place a minibus (and charge a small fee) to get into places like Budva and Kotor. It's not easy with the transport system in Montenegro quite poor. This is meant as positive suggestions as it's not far being bang on. The people in Monetenegro and the hotel are lovely. The place is beautiful. Not far off being really good.

“Honest Ami Budva review July 26”

As a five-star hotel, I was disappointed with the service. Perhaps it’s because it’s relatively new and tourism is still developing in Montenegro. The room service was consistently poor.

As a five-star hotel, I was disappointed with the service. Perhaps it’s because it’s relatively new and tourism is still developing in Montenegro. The room service was consistently poor. Towels and water were often forgotten, and multiple chase-up calls were needed to get them. The food was basic and repetitive. The same dishes were often served day after day, and hygiene standards were lacking. The buffet food was left open, attracting flies. The gym was minimal, with only one bench, maximum weights to 22Kg only, a few treadmills and a malfunctioning multi-gym that didn’t work. The steam room and another room weren’t working either. Fresh towels were a problem because the spa area didn’t have a regular supply. The indoor pool wasn’t the 27 degrees advertised and the main spa jet was broken. The hotel itself was decent and conveniently located near the beach. Nikolas who was on reception, was genuinely helpful and attentive. He resolved concerns when they arose but unfortunately wasn’t always available due to his shift patterns. I believe things will improve in a few years as they’ll understand the standards expected of a five-star hotel.
