This was a darling hotel room right in the heart of the old city. Our room was built on the side of a stone wall and was very spacious with a separate living room area. The staff were very friendly and check in/out was a breeze.

As travelled to Kotor by bus from Dubrovnik I planned to get a taxi for taking our luggage to this Hotel but none of the taxis at the bus station would take us on this trip and said to walk. This was difficult with 3 suitcases but soon saw that there were no roads in the OLD Town for any motor vehicle. Passage ways about 2 m wide! Took about 30 min to find Hotel. Hotel noisy with music and talking to about 1 am each night. Dinner and breakfasts OK for the price. Room was AC but shower was strange - no shelf for soap, shampoo while holding shower head ! Staff indicated they would help with luggage back to bus station 2 days later but that did not happen. So not a pleasant memory of 2 days and nights at this Hotel.

We were told we’d get early check in and a different room due to sound, but upon check in they took back their word. The rooms are dark, the staff are unhelpful and it’s in an incredibly loud part of old town.

If sleep is important to you, this is NOT the hotel to stay at. The hotel itself is great, charming, the reality is it is next door to effectively a nightclub. The music goes on till approx 1.30am, EVERY NIGHT and it doesn't matter what floor of the hotel you are on, it's unavoidable. Do not stay on the first floor at any cost, you will not sleep. Otherwise, breakfast and the rooftop are both great.

Hotel is in the heart of Old Town. Given the area it’s in, it’s an old building that has been updated. Staff were great, they even accommodated a last minute early check in

Hotel and staff were great, but unfortunately a pub is located directly outside the hotel and plays loud music until the early hours. There is also a second outside club bar to the rear of the property, which also plays music to the early hours. The hotel staff were great and gave us ear plugs, which was great, but not really what we were expecting.

Lovely boutique hotel in a very convenient location in the heart of the old town of Kotor. The staff were very nice and the rooms and breakfast lovely. Our room was very noisy though - one side of the hotel is directly next to a very noisy bar. The other downside was a bathroom door that didn’t shut properly or lock. Not sure why they think this is a positive thing?!

Great stay, would definitely stay again. One comment though, our room was directly above a very lively space below, which had loud music deep into the night. Didn't bother us to much, but could be an issue to some.
