This hotel enjoys a trulybeautiful waterside location with breathtaking views over the Bay of Kotor. The water here is exceptionally clean, perfect for sea swimming, and there’s also a charming saltwater swimming pool where I never once struggled to find a sunbed. Very good pool side bar service including lunch time snack menu (pizza and burger etc). Our room was clean but clearly in need of some modernisation — a little tired in décor and fittings. The breakfast buffet was of very good quality with plenty of choice. However, the dinner menu was overpriced for the region, and I’d recommend taking the short trip into Kotor town instead, where there’s a vast selection of excellent restaurants at more reasonable prices. If driving there is a car park for approximatley 20 vehicles. But spaces fill quickly and on two occasions during a 7-day stay we had to park roadside, The staff… well, let’s just say they bordered on comically rude — curt to the point of feeling like I’d stepped into an episode of Fawlty Towers. It became more amusing than annoying after a while, but some customer service training certainly wouldn’t go amiss. In spite of this, the hotel’s excellent, quiet waterside location and stunning views mean we would very much visit again. If only the staff’s approach matched the beauty of the surroundings.

If the review was based on the view, it would be 5 stars but this hotel, though charming and rustic, it probably had the most mixed reviews from our group. The rooms are very basic and small (the smallest on the whole of our trip), and the bed was uncomfortable. We were fortunate to have a view over the bay of Kotor with a balcony, but some others were not so lucky with just a small room and a skylight. We had a lovely evening meal at the hotel along the front of the bay, which was romantic and really pretty lit up at night (not cheap). There is an outdoor swimming pool which completes the picture postcard scene and we really enjoyed the breakfast. We can only comment on our experience which was positive.
