My favorite place to stay in Kotor. Lovely suite. Comfortable, so clean, great amenities. Perfect location in Old Town. Breakfast every morning was exceptional. Terrace dining beautiful. Plus, the most incredible people working there. Helped in every way they could to make my stay the best it could be. Highly recommend.

Excellent hotel in the old town. Great breakfast and evening meals. Helpful staff.
There is no car parking in the old town as it’s vehicle free. The area can be noisy at night due to the number of bars.
8.0 / 10.0
The room was beautiful, as was our view. The rooftop terrace and food were fantastic.
The Hippocampus is centrally located in Kotor but this also makes the surroundings somewhat loud in the evenings

Location, and breakfast were fabulous!!
Many people moaned about the noise… and yes it’s noisy in the evenings, but you are in the centre of the old town…
This wasn’t really a problem for me
The only thing I didn’t like was the very poorly designed bathroom… there’s no wall mirror in bathroom, hair dryer is tucked around a corner hard to access and use…
And I had an unpleasant bathroom smell…

It’s in old town. Cute. Large rooms. Unique.
The air conditioner didn’t work all night even when we put it at 16 degree. It was so hot and we couldn’t sleep all night long. When we complained in the morning the receptionist didn’t understand or help us feel better. She just said it’s hot outside that is why it was hot in the room which makes no sense.

The location of this hotel is amazing! It is right in the centre of the old town and you can walk everywhere.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the rooftop bar is very nice.
The staff are very friendly.
Due to the location, there is a lot of noise at night which can last until 2/3am in the morning. Bring ear plugs!
Also the air con in our room was not very good which during a heat wave, made our sleeping difficult.

It’s beautifully decorated, central in old city of Kotor. Staff and manager very welcoming and helpful.
A bit noisy at night due to it’s location near pubs and cafes

Lovely location in the centre of the old town!
Only drawback is beyond their control as the old town pub is right next door so does get quite noisy in the evening! Had little to no impact for us.

Historic nice hotel with an elevator. Nice room with a gold board with the room number right under the door. Friendly staff. The bar with a restaurant on the terrace was nice and refreshing.
Difficult accessibility in the old town of Kotor - finding the hotel through the narrow streets typical of this town. This is not a mistake; it is a fact.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved the location of the hotel. Right in the middle of the Old Town, but very close to drop off and pick up points. The rooms were very comfortable, the bed particularly, and lots of space for 2 persons . The complimentary breakfast was quite adequate and we were all happy with it.
We liked everything .

Comfortable beds, rooftop bar, friendly staff.
Loud music from bar below room until 1am.
Local breakfast was good but a choice of fruit & yoghurt would have been good.

8.0 / 10.0
The location was perfect, in the heart of the old town, staff were friendly and helpful
Bathrooms were slightly dark and there could have been more shelving/hooks and full-length mirror, especially when two people are sharing. The breakfast choice could be more varied. Although we were warned in advance about the nightclub at the rear of the hotel, we weren’t aware that it was actually outside in the courtyard, so even the triple glazing struggled to cope.
7.0 / 10.0
Welcoming staff, beautiful generous rooms and the rooftop terrace is a real bonus.
Travellers might want to consider staying outside of the old town if they are after a quieter stay. Lovely to be inside the bustling city walls, but tourists from cruise liners are relentless and the bars and restaurants stay open late, with lots of noise bleed through the windows of the hotel.
Great if you want the vibe, but worth consideration if you’re after a more relaxed stay.

The location and all the employees except one person they are wonderful people. The owner lady, Merve and Necip
Don't stay in room 503, I don't know about the other rooms!!! The room is nice but it's impossible to sleep because of the noise, there's no music or anything, just people braying and having fun, and the hotel has a terrace cafe above it, and the sounds of tables and chairs in the early hours of the morning. Insulation is a must!!! At the breakfast 9 am,sorry no croissant ,no white bread..2 mornings we had that problem,than i told them,you must know guest number,and you must supply everything according to guest number because breakfast finish at 10 am . There are no shelves in the room, nowhere to put your things and the mirrors are at the top, I'm 1.60 cm, it's impossible to see yourself. The room was cold, it was central heating, it was summer, the weather got bad and we froze the first night, the sweet and kind hotel owner took care of it right away. We woke up, bingo, no water. It must be because it's the old city, it came at around 9:30, a water tank should be considered.

Excellent location, friendly staff, they’re ready to help in any case. I stay here for the 2nd time and I always ready to come back to this hotel❤️ They also have nice authentic interior!
The music in the restaurant nearby is extremely loud!!! It was impossible to sleep even with the closed windows until 3 am!!! Hotel team moved us to another room, huge thanks! And breakfast could be better🙏

If you want to stay in the city center this is a great place. The breakfast was decent
Depending on your room it is loud outside the window until 1 am. The rooms are a little outdated and could use a refresh

The location is excellent.
Breakfast is good.
Facilities indicate "parking" but there is no parking at the hotel.
Noise from the pubs until 1am every night.
Very small elevator.
No trash can in the room, only a small one in the bathroom.
Curtains not preventing light through the windows.
Cables exposed below tv...see photo.
Only one electrical outlet next to the bed, used for the bed side lamp, so can't plug in the phone near bed.
Water in the shower alternates between hot and cold and is unstable.

The hotel was quaint and charming while being updated. The location was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The air conditioner did not seem to be working very well. Some of the stairs are not clearly marked - they are thin and all white which made them hard to see.

Location was amazing.
Breakfast was great
Car parking situation isn't ideal, but no other alternatives if you want to stay in the Old City. 20 Euros for a full 24 hours not bad at all. 7 minute walk to the hotel.

it is amazing how such a historical building in the middle of the old town can be such an oasis of peace and relaxation. The room was spacious, even the shower was large which is typically not the case in comparable circumstances. Staff is great and helpful, breakfast is awesome
The room does not have coffee/tea facilities, this isn’t really a problem because they also provide excellent morning coffees if you go downstairs for it. So remember to do so ;)
