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.

Thank you Tatiana for a wonderful stay. Tatiana was so welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were great too, and eating outside with a view of mountains (as per photo) was a great start to every day. Parking was directly opposite the hotel, so very easy. Definitely recommended.

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.

The hotel is truly a gem! Located at the shore of the bay in the center of Prcanj, in an old stone house of the XVIII century, very close to Kotor. Enjoy the beautiful nature, old monuments, Orthodox and Catholic churches, private beach with crystal clean water. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast, perfectly clean property, gorgeous architecture, breathtaking scenery... We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

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.

Charming hotel outside of Kotor

We appreciated the hotel arranging our transport from Dubrovnik. The hotel is an older building with so much character. The breakfast included a selection of omelets and a breakfast sandwich. We were able to get great coffee before the breakfast was scheduled to begin. The hotel staff provided us with helpful suggestions for touring Kotor. The hotel is located outside of Kotor - very quiet and peaceful yet within walking distance of Kotor or a short cab ride away.

A friend and I stayed here for a night as part of a 2 week road trip of the region. The hotel is located by the beach with stunning views of the Bay of Kotor. The room was really comfortable and the thick stone walls make it feel like you're in a castle. The staff were all really friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was served in a nearby restaurant overlooking the sea and was very good. Definitely recommended!

Charming boutique hotel just outside of Kotor

This is a boutique hotel, only 7 rooms. It's about a 10-15 minute cab ride from Kotor which tends to get busy when cruise ships dock. The tiny town of Prcanj is lovely, beachside, and the hotel has a great and accommodating staff, small but pleasant lobby and two adjoining outdoor seating areas. The hotel room is comfortable with modern conveniences.

Really lovely hotel

Really lovely, small hotel with great access to a private beach. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms are very small. Small bathroom. Breakfast menu is limited and gets boring after a few days. Weird approach to offering coffee - one free, then pay for others. Coffee at breakfast should be part of the deal. All in all though a really nice hotel.
