Hotel Marija is ideally situated in the centre of the beautiful old town of Kotor. Its wooden interior added to its charm. Breakfast was included and was ok. We were very happy with our stay and would use this hotel again if we return to Kotor!

Lovely hotel in the middle of the old town in Kotor. I had a balcony room overlooking the town square. Awesome. Substantial breakfast.

Beautiful historic building, great location
Hotel Marija is in an excellent location in the old town of Kotor. However, that also means that the pedestrian traffic of the narrow alleys is quite loud at night. Other than that and a squeaky bed, all was wonderful. The entire hotel and the room had these charming old features like a gorgeous wooden floor while the bathroom was spacious and modern. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the little square in front where the pedestrian traffic flows past and sometime street musicians will entertain. A great place to stay.

Location was amazing - enjoyed hearing the bells from the nearby church. Front rooms have an outstanding view onto the square in front of the hotel. Good breakfast. The lunch choices were great and hotel guests receive a discount. Lunch was a great value. Hotel staff was super helpful and very kind. Laundered locths at the hotel for 5 Euros for everything I had, assisted with cab to Budva, location of post office, restaurants etc. Great city - Charming historical hotel.

Good hotel. Location in centre of town means it can be noisy until 1am. Room larger than expected. Shower annoying as it didn’t have a stand for shower head. Not the cleanest of rooms, lots of heavy built up dust and small bits of rubbish around bed areas. Overall satisfying for a short stay.

Good value for location
Great location in the old town and fantastic value for the location, but the hotel is older and definitely worn. The room was comfortable but could have been cleaner, especially around the edges. The noise from the hallway was very loud. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Wifi and aircon worked well.

Amazing location in old Town. If you are driving, prepare to pay to park even though they advertise free parking. They advised me to park on the side of the road - a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Otherwise, the paid public lot across the street was the other option.

This hotel is situated in the historic walled city (which involves a short walk as no cars allowed), Having said that the city is truly beautiful. The hotel is a bit dated. The bed was incredibly old for instance and the shutters broken but the staff were really helpful.

No TV . It was clearly on their list of amenities. Unsatisfactory check-in. Was moved to 3 different rooms trying to find one with a TV that worked. However......unsuccessful. I waste of a whole hour upon arriving. Truthfully......Not that best experience . They just didn’t want to deal with it. Nothing was offered for any inconvenience.

The property has an amazing central location and for the money the room itself was fine. But it was the only hotel on my 9 day visit that had no mini bar nor toiletries just soap in the bathroom. The main issue was the noise from the adjecent rooms: you can hear every conversation and even snoring and one morning from 4AM there was loud conversation for two hours!! And the most disappointing was that when I made the booking it said there was free parking. When I saw this was not mentioned on my booking receipt from Expedia I emailed the hotel to confirm as this was a refundable booking. I got back an email assuring me parking was free and not to worry. When I got Kotor I had to park in the public lot as cars are not allowed in the city. At the hotel they said there was no parking unless I wanted to go to another hotel they own a mile out of town and take taxis back and forth!! I showed the email but they said there was nothing they could do, there was no parking at the hotel! They called the owner who sent me the email and she said that the parking was at the other hotel!! To me this was ridicules so in the end I had to pay €20 a day (about $23) for the city parking. In the end they have me a discount which covered half the parking. So if you don't need parking and don't mind noise the location is great!!

Great choice if staying in Kotor Old Town
Overall great choice to stay in the old town. A little bit old and lacking a few things but for the price it is absolutely worth it. My room window was towards the street and i had free music serenades throughout the day from the street performers. I will highly recommend this hotel. 9/10

Great location, in a great Old City
A hotel with a great location in Kotor. An older building which fits in well with the location. A standard breakfast buffet in the morning. Room was a bit old fashioned, but was clean and comfortable. I was surprised that there was not a kettle coffee/tea in the room, but not a deal breaker. I think I might have had the best view in the hotel, room 24 which has the balcony at the front of the hotel, I was very happy with that. Some noise could be heard from old side due to the old style windows, but excellent service from the staff, mean I would happily stay here again.

10/10 best place in Kotor!
Hotel Marija was absolutely fantastic! The staff were brilliant, the room we had was quite spacious. One of the best showers we had in Montenegro. The location is perfect, close to everything in the old town and 10 minutes walk to the bus station, if that. Breakfast is good. If you had to really dig to find a fault you could say the hotel is slightly dated but again you're scrapping the barrel!

Great location.
Great location. Hotel was good although the bed was not especially comfortable which made sleeping a bit difficult at times. Other than that we were happy with the hotel and staff were friendly. We couldn’t find any free self parking but there are lots of park places nearby and never had issues finding a place. Parking in the adjacent car park was 0.80 Euro per hour and you can park as along as you want.

right in old town, easy to find, a little noisy
Hotel Marija is located right in Old Town. It is an easy find through the main gate. The hotel itself has an older feel to it which I did like, the only negative side is the windows in the rooms. Considering this is right in the city it can be a bit noisy and closing the windows doesnt seem to help because of their age. I found the price to be reasonable and the included breakfast was your standard European cold breakfast.

Right in the old town
This was a nice little hotel right in the heart of the old town. The rooms were basic and the beds on the small side however was comfy. Breakfast was good with a selection from the kitchen and what was on the buffet. Staff were very helpful with booking a taxi to the airport and having the driver come into the old town to assist with carrying bags.

Decent place in prime location
The location is great, although location within Old Town is probably equal. The common areas, and the breakfast/restaurant area are extremely clean and updated, but the rooms were a little less so. The room was comfortable enough, but had the sort of feel that the linens, furniture and fixtures were just a little too old, so you get that feeling that it could probably be a little cleaner, despite the great efforts of the staff. The rooms have AC, which was a plus, but kicked up a bunch of dirt and dust. Small old TV (but nobody should go there to watch TV) and a minifridge in the room.

Great location - dirty rooms
Hotel Marija is in a fantastic location in Kotor Old Town. The hotel looks great from the outside and when you walk through into the bar area it feels very atmospheric. However, I was really disappointed with my room. The room is very dated. Areas of the room, including some tables and sections of the floor, had clearly not been dusted or vacumned for a long time. The pillows were lumpy, stained and smelly. I just don't understand how a hotel in such a great location can't provide a clean room and replace pillows occasionally. Who wants to sleep with their head on pillows like that? My room had internal doors leading to the rooms either side - because of this I could clearly hear what those guests were saying and other noises I won't mention. Really disappointed with a hotel which I was really looking forward to staying in.
