Pros:

Lokalita je skvelá, personál veľmi milí. Skvelá terasa na streche, s možnosťou sledovať nemé grotesky na stene susedného domu. Veľmi dobrá dostupnosť na akékoľvek miesto v starom meste..

Cons:

Trochu mi vadila každodenná hlasná zábava v uliciach do rána, nevyspal som sa.

Hotel quase perfeito
Pros:

Absolutamente tudo! O hotel é perfeito para aproveitar a old town ao máximo.

Cons:

Você tem que estar consciente de que tem um pub bem abaixo do hotel e que você vai ter que conviver com musica alta e conversas durante algumas horas. Ele não funciona até muito tarde. Acho que até meia-noite, mas não tenho certeza.

Pros:

The property was looking very good, the design is beautiful.
The location is perfect and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Cons:

The room facilities were disappointing. There was no proper space in the bathroom for our toiletries, we were charged for water, and there was no coffee available in the suite, only tea.

Considering how much we paid for the suite, I would have expected these basic amenities to be included.

It was very noisy outside for the bar so for older guests its harder to fall asleep but most of the hotels in the old town like that.

Very very average hotel. I would not stay there again.
Pros:

The location is within the old city. However, it is right beside a club! And if felt like there was a full rave/party in my room until 1:15am

Cons:

There were dirty glasses in my room. The baseboards were falling off. The staff were friendly, but not helpful. The breakfast is very mediocre, and beyond slow. One of the bedside lamps did not work, and when I asked for it to be fixed- it was ignored. I called the reception at 11:20pm, and no one answered. On their website it states that the reception is available 24/7….which is not true. I also sent a message to the manager with all of my concerns/issues and I am still waiting for a reply 24 hours later. This is not a 4 star property.

Pros:

Ana was absolutely amazing! I honestly can’t thank her enough for how kind, and helpful she was during my stay.

My airline had accidentally left my luggage behind at the transit airport in Serbia, and I was incredibly stressed and worried about getting it back. Ana went above and beyond to help me (something that I wasn’t expecting from hotel staff member). She called the airport multiple times (since I don’t have SIM card nor speak the local language) to track down my baggage and kept checking for updates on my behalf.

What touched me the most was how reassuring she was throughout the whole situation. She actually told me to go out, enjoy my time in Montenegro, and not spend my trip worrying about my luggage because she would keep trying to track it down for me. And she did! Thanks to her, I got my luggage in a few hours.

Can’t thank her enough!

It was a very pleasant stay. Great location. Amazing staff I would stay there again (bring an eye mask and earplugs).
Pros:

The rooms were big and the staff was amazing! The roof top bar was such a nice amenity. Everyone was helpful and very accommodating.

Cons:

We had two rooms and both were great, but it is very loud from the music in the close by bars. The hotel should invest in blackout shutters and possibly having windows that seal better.
