Hotel berhampiran City Walls, Kotor

Positive: Thanks for allowing me to check in early. The view is awesome. Location is awesome. Negative: Air-conditioning is too loud. Breakfast is cold. Neutral: It is old, but I like the old 🤭 It just small. Enough for one people.

We stayed here two nights after a conference in Budva. We were pleased to find our hotel on the first plaza at the main entrance to Old Kotor. The lobby had a small cozy sitting room that was perfect for scanning the plaza for friends who were meeting us for day trips. The hotel offered free drink upon arrival. Also our room had breakfast included. The food was excellent and served in a wonderful dining room. The accommodations were excellent. Spacious rooms Overlooking the plaza. There was a desk chair, a coffee table with two “sitting chairs,” and a queen sized bed. Reasonable sized bathroom. All spaces in rooms were large by European standards. We had a TV although never turned it on. Very pleased all around.

Very friendly staff and the perfect location to stay except……..1) nightclub next door speaker faces hotel so hopeless to sleep until after they close at 0100 hrs 2) no TV Chanel’s 3) stairs between floors dangerous to the fact we both fell by missing a step on the top where there also no handrail☹️. Perfect place to stay in the centre of the old town however would not stay there again.

The apartment is situated inside one of the original old buildings of Kotor within the city walls. It has easy access to everything in the old city. We were able to park a car about 200 m away in a public car park currently at no cost Well refurbished with plenty of space. We were travelling as two couples. It was great to have separate bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The host was very helpful, explained a number of useful things about the city and the apartment. He was easily reachable if required. As this apartment was within the city centre, it was very busy and noisy. However, this did not bother us and the noise seemed to stop around about midnight. The apartment was very comfortable and we slept well. We would have no hesitation about booking this apartment again.

首先房間是民宿形式的公寓，我們夫妻二人安排在頂層，是很滿意的，因為房間很大，但是沒有吹風機拖鞋等酒店設施，需要自帶。自認為性價比很高，因為是冬季來，不玩海，所以沒有定海邊的度假酒店，目的就是方便便宜。這家在古城裡，一開始有點難找，谷歌地圖就可以找到，酒店門口貼着有酒店名字的，找不到可以問古城裡的商家，到達後需要先給房東打電話，來開門辦理入住，切記是下午2點以後才能入住，電話在門口貼着，好嗎中間有個0，撥打時不要加。古城晚上比較安靜，也安全，設施比較舊，但無傷大雅。不太適合老年人和小孩，因為這棟樓，樓梯並不好爬，旋轉樓梯很窄，沒有電梯，但適合我們對入住條件沒有很高要求，需求就是衞生乾淨，安全，出行便捷，性價比很高。地理位置也便捷，房東全程電話聯繫態度也很友善，11點之前就需要退房。對我們來説很滿意，説的很中肯，旅行的需求不同，根據自己需求選擇酒店。

Hotel Monte Cristo is a boutique hotel situated in the historic Kotor Old Town. Hotel is about 5 minutes’ walk from the main entrance and it's almost the same distance towards the North Gate. Cars are not permitted inside the old town, hence, just like any other hotels inside the walls, you will have to walk with your bags towards the hotel. The original architecture seems to have been carefully preserved or restored, but it also has all the modern amenities. You have to climb up the steps to get to the hotel lobby situated on the first floor. Our room was on the second floor, hence, we had to climb again with all our bags, which was not a pleasant experience. There was no hotel staff to help us with the bags. The room, like the hotel, is styled in a vintage/old-fashioned manner with antique wooden furniture and cupboards. All rooms offer air conditioning, TV, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, electric kettle, telephone, locker, bathrobes, and slippers. The bed was saggy and not at all comfortable. It’s high time they change the mattresses. Bathroom has free toiletries and hair dryer. However, it was too small. There is no proper exhaust for the toilet. If you open the windows, then the opposite building is so near and there is no privacy. Breakfast is served in the restaurant located on the ground floor with its entrance from the street. Breakfast was included in the price of the room. Had a good buffet choice with a nice spread of meats, cheeses, breads, olives, cucumber, capsicum, cereals, pancakes, pastries, croissants, yogurts and loads of fresh fruit. Omelets were made to order and coffee or tea was served on the table as per our requirements. The staff were very professional and courteous in their approach, particularly the restaurant staff who very happily and patiently attended to us. Though I read several posts that it’s very noisy at night, we didn’t have any such issues. Maybe since we were visiting in low season, tourists were less and some of the restaurants were closed. Hence, the room rent was also on the lower side. There are plenty of restaurants and bars inside the old town. The tourism office is situated just outside the main entrance walls. Overall, the property is good, but, if you have luggage, ask for rooms in the ground floor room right next to reception.

A beautiful step back in time. This hotel is in the heart of the Old Town with such beautiful history all around. The hotel was very clean and the room was large and room. As was the bathroom. Breakfast was a little ordinary but to be fair a very large group had gone just before us and had pretty much cleared things out. Step outside your hotel and you have restaurants, shops and history all around you. Wish we had longer to explore this beautiful place.

So I always try and be balanced when leaving reviews, especially as I have my own Independent Travel Agency and I travel often for work. I travelled to Montenegro for a long weekend for my Birthday. Positives: - Hotel is in the heart of the old city walls which is quaint and lovely to stroll around. It is close to everything you need and you can’t complain about the stunning location. Kotor is lovely, but one night in the city is more than enough. - Check in staff were lovely and I was able to check in a hour early. - The room was huge, we paid for the Luxury Suite as a birthday treat, it was period decorated to match the vibe of the hotel but still felt modern. The room itself was pretty with the brickwork and old walls. The view from it was also not too bad, though did lack a little table and chair on the balcony (even though it is just about big enough. It would have been nice for morning coffee. The bathroom had a huge bathtub which was nice, band the room had all the typical amenities you would expect. Negatives: - The hotel is pretty quiet with the windows closed despite being only 2 floors high from the hustle and bustle - Our room was next to a loud bar which does keep going until the small hours, we were lucky that our room as L shapes and the bed was round the other side so made it quite faint, with ear plugs in I couldn’t then hear anything, though pretty poor considering the price point. - The bed was EXTREMELY firm and the pillows lumpy, I do like a firm bed, but that was even too firm for me. It also creaked every time you moved which was loud in the night. - The bizarrely no overhead shower, not even over the huge bath (though it did have a shower head you can pull from the bath and use by hand), it was faff to shower, oddly it also had a creepy window with no blind that if someone was near the bed, then they are seeing you in your glory. Whilst I am close to my partner, we don’t share toilet time, it was a bit off putting. - Oddly the minibar is cash, so don’t get caught out. - I found the price point a little steep, €250 is a lot for an average room, noisy location at night and not a good night sleep, you are only paying for the location. - When you pass through reception to go to your room, you walk past the kitchen staff all sat out smoking etc. pretty grim as a non-smoker but also not what you expect from a 4* hotel, put a nice screen up or something and let the staff break in peace. In summary, the hotel is 3* average, it was pleasant enough but about €100 a night over priced for the quality of the room and experience, location is what you are paying for, which is lovely. I wouldn’t stay here again, I am glad we only stayed for 1 night.

Çok memnun kaldık tavsiye ederim. Kahvaltı harika

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property, it’s in an ideal location 5-10 minute walk from the town. Parking provided if you have a car. The view from our balcony was sensational, the room was very clean and immaculately presented. The host was very welcoming and brought us a drink when we arrived, he gave us lots of info about the area and what to do and see. We loved the fact that it was more like a home with 2 lovely dogs to greet us every time we returned to the property. It felt more like home! The hosts son also helped us with the steps up to the property with our luggage which was much appreciated when you’re tired from travelling. 5 star property at a very good price. We would highly recommend to others.
