Fantastic Experience in the Old Town!

historic buildingrooftop terracemontenegro optionreally good view
I found a fine historic building, almost like a beautiful art gallery! The breakfast included a Montenegro option, so I enjoyed local specialities! The rooftop terrace gave me really good views of the mountains, and Dino and Philip created a nice dinner experience! I greatly appreciated that there was an elevator for our luggage.
The designers decided to put a completely transparent door in the toilet, which I found inconvenient and impractical.

i liked the bar with restaurant on the terrace because it felt refreshing. the room i stayed in had a gold board with its number right under the door. staff seemed friendly and always helped when i needed something. the elevator was historic and nice to use.
The hotel had tasteful decoration, but it wasn't always thoughtful. For example, the bedroom light switch isn't reachable from the bed.
