Hotel Azzurro

Anita upgraded our room without us even asking, and the staff were hospitable, so thanks to them. We stayed two days with my family. Breakfast was enough, though the bed quality could be better. The hotel is right on the road, so it isn’t very quiet.

The food was impeccable, and they even made a simple plate of grilled chicken for my little dog. The carpaccio was delicious, and I also had the fish broth, since veal broth wasn’t available, with light toast and a sour cream dip, plus grilled shrimp over roasted vegetables. The presentation was lovely too. I came for lunch with my dog on Montenegrin Christmas Day, 7th Jan. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with elegant tableware and cheerful music. It wasn’t the maudlin music you hear in many Montenegrin restaurants. The room was warm, and I had a lovely bay view. The young man serving was friendly and helpful, and kindly spoke English with me. The bill was €48 with sparkling water, which felt perfectly reasonable for the food quality and my non-budget choices. They also have much cheaper options, like breakfasts, burgers, and pasta for €5-10, if your budget is lower. I was very pleased, highly recommended. Five stars for everything. This is a review of the RESTAURANT, I haven’t stayed at the hotel.

For 80 euros for two people, even before summer, this felt expensive for what the hotel offers. We were on the 5th floor, and there’s no elevator. The room was tiny with little natural light, the bed was too soft and seemed to have been used for over 10 years, so it urgently needs replacing. The bathroom needs renovation as well, and breakfast could be better. The location is good, and the ladies at reception were very kind and helpful. Still, the facilities and lack of amenities make it poor value for the price. I’d look for better options in the area.

The photos online gave us the wrong idea about the hotel. They oversold it, and what we found didn’t live up to the images. It felt like a 2-star stay at best, nowhere near the advertised 4-star level. The noise made it hard to rest. An extractor fan outside our room ran all night, along the side of the wall, constantly humming. The bathroom was another letdown, with visible black mold in the shower. The room had a kettle but no cups, tea, or coffee. The bed was awful: an incredibly thin mattress with springs poking through. The duvet had no cover, which felt unhygienic and unacceptable for a hotel claiming a higher standard. I was very disappointed by the stay and wouldn’t recommend it. It fell far short of expectations and doesn’t deserve its 4-star rating.
