The owners are friendly, the apartment is clean, the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is nice and clean but the shower pressure is quite low, so it took a while to rinse shampoo/conditioner out! The kitchenette is very basic, with an outdoor sink and a 2-ring hob on the balcony. However there is plenty of crockery/cutlery and the fridge freezer works well. The only real downside to this apartment is the noise at night time. There is a nightclub a couple of doors down and although you can't really hear the people or music too much during the night, the bin truck comes along at around 5am every morning to empty the bottle bins. You have the noises of the truck reversing, the men shouting to each other and the bottles being moved from bin to truck and being crushed. This would go on for anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour. I wouldn't stay here again, which is a shame because the apartment itself was perfect for what we needed, I just need more sleep!! ##### Nicky Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 9 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect studioappartment in Budva Absolutely fantastic familyowned hotel. We took a chance and booked the studio without windows and it was fantastic, more than we hoped for . Clean and big enough room for two people, a great bathroom with a big shower, the kitchen has a modern stowe and refrigerate and a freeze inside. Free tv, WiFi, aircon and also a big terass with table and chairs only belonging to this studio apartment , no insight! There is a supermarket around the corner so you can make breakfast and other meals at the hotel. The location is perfect , you don’t get bothered by the night clubs or other people , it’s calm and quiet. The guesthouse is 4 min walk from the main beach walk and and restaurants. There is no bus or train communication from Podgorica airport to Budva so let the owner of the hotel make a taxi pick up for you to get the cheapest price ! Would definitely stay here again!😁 I can recommend this ##### Jennifer Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kristo 14 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kristo Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Middlesbrough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Middlesbrough-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6557-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Arta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arta-Hotels.d182275.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [5 Star Hotels in Jumeirah Lakes Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Jumeirah-Lakes-Towers-Dubai-Hotels.s50-n6139863-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Entertainment in Devon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Devon-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d6046196-thotelwithentertainment.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Hotels in Kingman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingman-Hotels.d1572.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Science Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Science-Museum-Hotels.0-l6079037-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [princesshotels Hotels in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenerife-Hotels-Princess-Hotels.0-0-d6047194--bPrincessHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Seaclose Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seaclose-Park-Hotels.0-l6246771-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Cheap Hotels in Helsinki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helsinki-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d178261-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Holiday Homes Cornwall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornwall-Private-Holiday-Homes.d6046193-aaPrivateHolidayHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Hanslope](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hanslope-Hotels.d6053617.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [3 Star Hotels in Mayfair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/3Star-Mayfair-London-Hotels.s30-n6054503-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Iberostar Waves Slavija](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budva-Hotels-Slavija-Budva-Hotel.h36894546.Hotel-Information) > - [Twelve by Aycon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budva-Hotels-Twelve.h34855467.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Marina Botafoch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marina-Botafoch-Hotels.0-l6360643-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [All-Inclusive Hotels in Azores](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Azores-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048267-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Boutique hotel Momentum by Aycon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budva-Hotels-Hotel-Momentum.h64410409.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Market Bosworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Market-Bosworth-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d180629-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Golf Hotels in Dalyan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalyan-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d6047519-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Oberding (MUC) to Bang Phli (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/muc/bkk/munich-to-bangkok) > - [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Ajnala (ATQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/atq/london-to-sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > - [University of Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/University-Of-Bristol-Bristol.d6084227.Attraction) > - [Gulmarg Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gulmarg-Ski-Resort-Baramula.d553248621532740732.Attraction) > - [Gloucester Docks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gloucester-Docks-Gloucester.d6094231.Attraction) ### General ---
