Villa Skyprime

The hotel was very hard to find. Very small road and no parking. Only 1 staff. They have big rooms.

I booked this hotel through a travel agency, for a week. It was a very good choice. The hotel is located in a relatively quiet residential part of Budva. It is at the end of a small one-way street. Some people have difficulties finding it but I did not encounter any. It is about 20 minutes walk from the Old Town and 15 minutes from the beach. The bus station is some 7 minutes walk. There are shops and restaurants around and a lot of more of them in the centre of the town. I had a very nice and spacious room on the 5th floor (4th by the European counting). It had a fridge and a kettle, which was very appreciated. Wifi worked well. I had a view of the mountains from my balcony, which got dark by the evening, so I truly felt like being in Montenegro (which means Black Mountain). Breakfast is served on the roof (6th floor). The choice was very good, both sweet and salty food. I just regretted breakfast only started at 8am. This is a bit too late if you want to take a bus to another place in Montenegro. I therefore only had 4 breakfasts out of 7 I paid for but that was my choice (maybe the hotel could offer some breakfast packages for earlier risers). There is also a small pool on the roof, next to the small restaurant. In the evening, the water is quite warm there. You cannot truly swim in the pool, it is too small for that but it is pleasant to spend some time there anyway. The staff at the hotel is nice. Especially the young lady who checked me in (I am sorry I did not ask her name) and who was always preparing breakfast. I am very grateful to her for assigning such a nice room to me, many thanks! The only unpleasant element were some of the other guests. It does not stop surprising me that some people simply do not realise (or do not care) that there are other guests in the hotel who do not necessarily want to hear noise music, loud shouting or door banging at midnight. But this is not the fault of the hotel, of course.

Location The location is quite okay. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach and the promenade, about 22 minutes to the old town. The location of the hotel is quite quiet. Several shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast The selection is not overly large, but it was enough to fill your stomach. The menu changed during the day, so there were two different options for breakfast, so to speak. A large part of the breakfast consisted of pastries. Coffee from the coffee machine cost 1.50 euros, but you could pour free coffee from a thermos. Room Our room was on the fifth floor and you could only get to that part of the building by stairs. Carrying a heavy suitcase up and down was annoying. The room was nice, but with some minor flaws. There was AC, but it couldn't be controlled from the remote. The remote control was there, but when making changes there, nothing happened. Therefore, the air conditioner could not be controlled in any way, and it could also be turned off by pulling the cord from the wall. Also, it made weird noises in between, so it became too disturbing at night. When I was washing, the whole toilet was full of water because the shower glass was too short and it didn't hold the water. In addition, the upper nozzle of the shower was broken and you could only wash yourself with a hand shower. I recommend that you also bring your own washing products, because the hotel does not provide shampoo and shower gel. Cleaning We were there for two weeks and to be honest, I can't say anything about the cleaning. It seemed that someone visited our room every day, but the cleaning was very chaotic and irregular. Sometimes only the bed was made, other times the ashtray was emptied or the trash thrown away. Towels were changed or added strangely, mostly one new towel at a time. We managed by ourselves, but never knew if the trash was emptied, etc. Staff The cleaners and the breakfast team mostly speak nothing but the local language. English is spoken only at the reception. Parking You can park about 3 cars in front of the hotel, but they are always full and it is generally difficult to get to the front of the house by car. Parking in Montenegro is generally very bad. I recommend using paid parking spaces, because there are simply no free spaces. There is one near the hotel, a 15-minute walk away. 1 hour is 1 euro or if you buy a ticket for at least two days, 24 hours is 8 euros.

Very friendly hotel. Good location ,close to the sea. Spacius, clean rooms, new furniture, comfy mattress, little fridge, tiny kitchen corner with hub and few equipment to prepare meals. Rooms was serviced every day by polite staff. Breakfast room on the roof next to the swimming pool with some sunbeds and nice view. Very friendly and helpful owner of the hotel. He was looking after all guests during a breakfast. We had access to swimming pool even late night. Late check out without extra fee. We felt very welcome and comfortable in this hotel.
