We had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable and relaxing experience. The breakfast was a highlight - fresh, varied, and delicious every morning. While transit options around the hotel weren’t the most convenient, the local area more than made up for it with plenty of great food spots within walking distance. If you're looking for a cozy place with good food and a welcoming atmosphere, this hotel is a solid choice.

Love love loved this hotel and its amazing staff! The location, just out of the touristic old town, is perfect. You can slip right off the terrace into sea. There are lovely sun loungers sea side - a perfect spot to sit and watch the many boats and bathers bobbing in the bright blue sea. The included breakfast was fantastic. There were local delights like home made cheeses, bread and jam. We were given a welcome champagne. The hotel rooms were comfortable with fluffy beds and ice cold air conditioning. Loved the old limestone walls and wooden furniture. Great local restaurants nearby right on the sea. A quick and cheap cab ride to the old town of Kotor.

A lovely little hotel set right by the bay! The rooms were spotless, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The staff were both professional and genuinely friendly — they even offered us a lift into Kotor when no taxis were available. The location is perfect: just a short ride by bus or car to Kotor Old Town, and surrounded by plenty of seaside restaurants where you can dine right by the water. The bay itself is crystal clear and wonderful for swimming. We especially appreciated the welcome drink and the complimentary bottle for my birthday — such a kind touch! The team also gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kotor!

The room was small but comfortable. Breakfasts were amazing - fresh fruit, chia pudding, pastries, juice and coffee, and a selection of hot foods, ie eggs, crepes, etc. The staff was excellent, friendly and responsive, eager to serve and please, and the building was quaint and historic with stone and brick walls in the room.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly remarkable hotel that exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The location is simply stunning — nestled right along the coast, with breathtaking bay views. The service was exceptional. We were the only guests there (offseason) and the woman whose name I forgot went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed and taken care of. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, offering local tips and making me feel like a I was at her home. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. Included in the room rate, it was an absolute treat. Freshly made pastries everyday, locally sourced fruits, and warm comforting Cappuccinos. The tables overlooking the sea on the deck provided the perfect setting to start the day. The hotel itself had such a charming, 8th century feel with stone walls and circular staircases. All in all, this hotel blew my mind. It truly set a new standard for what a relaxing, luxurious, and memorable stay should be. I can’t recommend it enough

Chwrming galathea apartments with its lovely view.

Galathea apartments is a wonderful find. The property has exquisite views of Kotor Bay. Part of the property is newly constructed and we were fortunate to be upgraded to their suites which were fantastic and had all the amenities. Tatiana is a wonderful host and always reachable. Definitely worth staying again if I visit Kotor.

Reception staff, Tatiana and Nikita, were both excellent and couldn't do enough to help us. Room was okay with very comfortable bed but fairly small, and had a shelf and TV placed in a very strange position overhanging the bed - you could potentially knock yourself out if you got out of bed in the night without remembering the shelf was there ! En suite was cramped, and had a glass screen that only covered half the shower, resulting in the bathroom floor getting very wet when the shower was used. Breakfast was very limited and lacked variety. Housekeeping was very efficient, with our room being cleaned whilst we were having breakfast.

This hotel is in a gorgeous location and had spectacular views. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The only downside is that the WiFi & cell service could be spotty in the rooms, but that’s primarily because of the property’s thick stone walls. I will def it stay here again when I visit Kotor Bay.
