The staff and the location. Perfect in the center and the staff gave me free water and luggage storage for the day
Wifi is non-existent nearly and there was no hot water for a shower
6.0 / 10.0
The facility is outdated. The bottom of the kettle in my room is full of stains. There are no cups or glasses in the room. The shower stall area is wide enough for standing.
I booked a king size bed the day we arrived showing a discount price. After checking, we climbed up all the way to the attic showing a queen bed.
The stairs to the room is dangerous and unsafe especially pulling a carry on luggage upstairs. Need to use the app to translate English into local language for communication.

Athos Guesthouse is located in a central position in Kotor’s Old Town.
The rooms are on the first and second floors of the building, while on the ground floor there is a bar/restaurant open both to guests and to the general public.
The staff are kind and helpful, even though they also have to run the bar at the same time.
There is a nightclub next door, but they make sure to point this out at the time of booking.
Breakfast starts at 9:00 a.m., when the bar opens, and the waiting time depends on how many customers there are besides the guests.
Pancakes, crêpes, coffee, cappuccino, eggs, etc.
Anyone who wants to spend a full day at the beach or go on an excursion risks leaving late in the morning.
The bathroom needs to be cleaned and managed better.
Towels had a strong smell of smoke.

Great old town location, room was cute! Not as noisy from the surrounding bars as other reviews said (windows when closed blocked a lot of the noise). Owners were lovely. And I think the property should be higher rated..
Hot water for shower didn't work, only negative.. they were getting it fixed. Also, DON'T DRINK THE WATER HERE! Made me sick. Also narrow steps - fine for us..

I did not like anything about this accommodation
SHORT VERSION OF THE STORY
The hotel stole 18 euro from us, aircon doesn't work while it is 32 degrees during the day, and the heat stays in the room overnight. The bathroom smells terrible, is humid (warm), smells like mold, and you can't attach the shower head anywhere so you need to hold it to shower
FULL VERSION OF THE STORY:
We arrived late, exhausted from a day of traveling and got offered 'another room because all rooms are taken'. Of course we have no choice because it's late and we're exhausted.
The room was small, and the aircon only blows warm air. This while it was 32 degrees during the day, and the heat stuck in the room overnight. I had 2 terrible nights of sleep because of this heat.
Next, the bathroom smells like mold, and was super hot and humid. On top of that the shower head didn't attach to anything, so I had to hold it above my head like I'm showering in the 1930's.
Finally, I aggreed to this accommodation for $380 AUD, this is written on booking.com as well. However THEIR BUSINESS charged $409 from my bank account. This is $29 (18euro) more than I aggreed on.
When I asked staff about it, they said 'the numbers on booking.com are b*llshit, our system is correct'
So they effectively stole 18 euro and didn't want to own up to it.
When I asked for a refund for this horrible experience, they said I am a 'very opportunistic person'.

Location is nice
We reserved 3 rooms and we have only 2 for a group of 9. Didn’t understand why they wanted to charge extra for the 3rd when I had already paid for 3

Do not go to Athos Guesthouse unless you want to party.
The guesthouse is next to extreme loud music (on the friday that I stayed till 3a.m.)
So if you want to party, Athos is excellent.
If you want to sleep, book outside of Kotor.
Advice to the manager : if somebody comes to sleep (I asked specifically if the nights were quiet) then help the guest to find a quiet sleeping environment.

the hosts, the young couple who run the guesthouse are very kind, welcoming and helpful. they carried my luggage up the steep steps, and the lady made me a lovely cup of coffee. A very pretty old building with a lot of charm, in the old town. beautiful views from the window. Kotor is a very beautiful town, and I fell in love with all the darling cats there!
Sleep deprivation. the place is right next door to a disco-nightclub of sorts, which plays loud music until about 1 am. This is not the fault of the hosts, rather the fault of the club, Letrika, who have no regard for the comfort of other people staying in the nearby hotels.

Amazing location, in the old town with everything on your doorstep. Room very nice too, small but sufficient. Staff met us there and let us leave luggage earlier on. There was a noisy bar next door but stopped by midnight. would recommend staying here for the location :)
8.0 / 10.0
Overall, I found this property to be a good and comfortable place to stay. The staff were super helpful and a real highlight of the experience. Just a heads-up that the stairs are quite narrow, and there can be some noise from nearby bars until around midnight.
It would also be beneficial to address some maintenance items in the bathroom.

The location was good, but extremely narrow and dangerous stairs case to climb on 3rd floor, I was lucky I didn’t fall.
No information what so ever, I asked the guy to let me drop my bag a bit earlier he didn’t respond at all, he didn’t allow me to check in before 3pm, no wifi information was provided, I asked him the WiFi password he responded 5 hours later and eventually when wifi was connected the speed was 120 kbps lol 😝, I usually almost never use wifi was this time I badly needed as I was on international roaming.

Staff excellent and attentive. The restaurant was closed but breakfast was delivered each morning which was a kind gesture. Very central location. Parts of the room could have done with a refresh (ceiling in bathroom, skirting boards particularly, door catching at bottom) and it would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Other reviews mention the nightclub noise - that was only really on the Saturday night and still able to sleep through it.

The staff is helpfull
Unable to access the internet for the first 3 days:/ In the following days, they took care of this because we made it a problem. The bed in the room was extremely bad, we woke up every morning with pain in our neck and waist. And the sink was clogged and not clean enough…

Very dirty walls filled with mold and disgusting sheets stained with blood. We couldn't stay so even though we payed for our stay here we booked a nearby hotel.

Location was spectacular if a little noisy.
I know laundry was an issue for them due to the size of the place, but offering guests a towel would be a good idea

The location was convenient.
The place was falling apart. The shower was broken, unable to attach to the pipe so I had to shower one handed. The toilet seat was cracked in several locations, and discolored. Contacting the hotel was only possible via email, as there was no front desk. Letting them know about the problems above resulted in a response, 2 days later, saying they would fix it, which they didn't. The place is in bad shape, I doubt they fixed it even after we left. It also was not clean. It was without a doubt, the worst place I have ever stayed.

Incredible location, right in the heart of Old Town, just minutes walk from the bus station and port. The restaurant downstairs is great and staff were super friendly. Comfortable air conditioned room.
The shower didn’t have a screen/curtain which caused the bathroom to flood. The automatic sensor light was frustrating as it sometimes turned on while we were in bed. Music from the bars below is very noisy - bring ear plugs and an eye mask.

Nothing
The hotel was next to a reeeeally noise bar till 3AM, I could barely sleep because of the music. I was in my bed and the room was reverberating from the sound of music. The bathroom was very dirty and old, they did not even clean from the previous customer. The bed was very old, dirty and really uncomfortable. Everything was a mess and really dirty, and the hotel was super expensive for 2 days. Furthermore, I needed some help from the hotel stuff but there was nobody to help you, 0 customer service.

Really central place in town, even a few fun bars directly around!

The aircon
The accommodation was in terrible state. We knew it was going to be noisy but it felt like we were at a festival the whole night. The room and bathroom was literally broken down with pieces of the building sitting on the floor in our room. The shower head was broken and you couldn’t actually properly use the toilet because it’s cramped into a corner with really low roof so you had to crouch and the lid does not stay up. The bathroom would be soaked after one shower because there’s no shower curtains. The ceiling in the bedroom had brown marks right above the bed..

Great location and nicely presented accommodation. The stairs are small to go up so be prepared for that but the view is nice. Could be noisy until 1 am yet manageable. We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely worthwhile in the old town.

The apartment was located in a small and busy street. It was very beautiful 😍.
We stayed there on a Friday and a Saturday night, and the music from the local club was extremely loud. But it stopped at 2 a clock Friday, and at 1 a clock Saturday.
The host forgot to give os the key to the mainentrance door. So Saturday morning we cut not get out of the house. We were stuck in more than 30 minutes. And we got help from a other resident, and not from our host.

The price for the location was excellent. We had to book on the day and we got straight in.
There are a lot of bars around which party into the night (ideal for younger people) but it didn't bother us. Had a great night's sleep.

The location is great. Wifi is strong. Staff are kind.
It says free toiletries, but there was no shampoo, and I had to insist for them to provide it. Usually, i carry my own, but I was traveling super light and didn't. No cleaning happened. I'm not sure if that's their policy or if I had to ask? I wasn't told about it.

Guesthouse Athos feels like an oasis in the middle of Kotor – I will never stay anywhere else when I visit again! The room was cozy and comfortable, and the views from the room could not be beat (see photo). It’s in a fantastic location, just a few steps from the more bustling/touristy parts of Kotor but it feels removed and tucked away in a way that’s very nice for travelers. As others have mentioned, you can hear music from the bar next door in the evening but with earplugs I could not hear a sound. The steps leading up to the rooms are a bit steep, but the check in staff was very lovey and carried up my bags.
