Night club next door

The hotel is located in the heart of Kotor, which is great except…there is a night club next door. Loud music would be an understatement. The hotel provides ear plugs but they do nothing for a loud base. We asked for a refund for the second night to go elsewhere but they did not allow a refund and said we had received a message with a note on the location of the hotel and the noise, that was not the case. They did change our rooms to the quieter side, however the noise did not improve. Had we known about the noise we would not have booked this stay.

Kotor Gem

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 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.
