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.

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!

Lovely little Hotel directly by the Bay! The Rooms are really clean, the breakfast is amazing, the staff is so nice and the water in the bay is clear and wonderful to swim in! Only a short ride by Bus/Car to Kotor old town, so perfect location. There are a lot of restaurants in the area where you sit directly sea side! We enjoyed our stay here so much and would definitely recommend!

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.

Amazing hotel

The hotel we preferred for Kotor. It was so nice that we extended our vacation for one more day. The woman who took care of us at the hotel was very sweet and smiling yüzlü☺️ The hotel was very clean, we had no problem parking the car. Breakfast was enough for us. Although we went out of season, it was a very caring and nice hotel. The view was also very nice. Thank you for everything ☺️

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
