A lovely little spot tucked away in a corner with a surprisingly beautiful view especially at night. We stayed one night for a flight the next day. The hot tub on our terrace was fabulous and the room was large and comfortable. The hotel, although small was beautifully decorated and very clean and the staff was very helpful. They even carried our luggage upstairs for us.

Ajith

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Not a bad place to stay. Rooms are spacious with good bathrooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. But beware of few facts: One, there is no elevator or luggage storage on the main floor. It is difficult you have many or heavy luggage as all rooms have at least two flights of stairs. Two, the parking lot is outside the hotel premises, a problem for luggage. Three, the reception is closed from evening to morning. Exact times seem to vary. Four, restaurants are scarce in Montenegro. Any dining requires a 15 minute drive to Faro.
