Location is good though hard to find at first. Parking is very difficult but the staff is helpful and they were really nice. The gym needs some work but meh, it does the job.

Not the best
Very disappointed.. the room I was put in I think used to be a storage room ! Tiny windows looking onto what seemed a scrap heap .. tv Ariel ripped out back of tv and a very poor attempt at a repair .. socket hanging off the wall
Lovely view

Bad experience
During the winter the heater did not work, room wasn’t as showed on the internet, we were asked to pay for using sauna by one receptionist and another told us it should be free for guests staying at the hotel. We could not sleep all night because of AC was on during winter. Not coming back there.

Sofas and beds were too old. Springs were out of shape , fatigued, thus resulting sinking feeling when slept on. The bar next door played loud music daily till midnight. Could not sleep because of the noise. Breakfast was excellent. Front desk was friendly and professional.

A very good choice of hotel in Podgorica
The Alexandar Lux is a comfortable small hotel located in the middle of Podgorica. Staff is very helpful in suggesting places to visit and activities to do in and around the city. High marks go out to Marina at the front desk for getting us a driver to bring us to the beautiful Ostrog Monastery on a Sunday. Cost for the excursion was very reasonable. As for our room, it was super clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was much appreciated as the temperature outside was in the upper 30s during our entire stay in the city. The breakfast buffet was also excellent with all kinds of delicious food (many local favourites) to choose from. A taxi to or from the train station-bus station costs less than 2 Euros. A taxi to or from the Delta Mall, where you can see English movies, costs les than 3 Euros. We did not go to the indoor spa at the Alexandar Lux though tarifs were reasonable.

Only the reception desk staff would we consider excellent quality. They were all very friendly and helpful! However, this hotel is way over-priced for what it has to offer (charging 69 euros per night is too much for the experience we discovered). Our initial room's bathroom had not been cleaned properly (the toilet had splashes of excrement on the sides, hairs everywhere, and dirty sink). Reception immediately found us a better room, bathrooms were clean, but floors had hairs throughout. One reason we selected this more expensive hotel was because they advertised a swimming pool and gym. But upon check-in we were told that we'd have to pay yet another 10 euros each just to use the pool (and for only two hours)!!! The gym was free, but in a musty basement, where none of the weight machines worked, and no use-able free weights. Basically just a dirty room to do push-ups in. Best work out in your room instead. As for the free breakfast, we found the water dispenser to be chlorine water (as if the water jug had been filled from the tap). The eggs tasted rotten, and even looked purple one morning. But the most off-putting element of having breakfast there was this stern brunette kitchen woman who would literally stare at you the entire time you're filling your plate, with a look on her face as if you're stealing her own food, making you feel extremely uncomfortable to return for even another cup of coffee! Overall, I could not recommend for the price they charge.

4 Nights in Podgorica
We had an excellent stay at the Hotel not least as we were given a free upgrade to our room. The location is excellent in the centre of town and therefore easy to walk to all amenities in the area. Its also very close to the National Football stadium only 5 minutes walk away. The only downside is the hotel lacks facilities in that it doesn't have a bar or restaurant and the reception area is small. However this did not in any way spoil our trip as there are numerous bars and restaurants in the immediate area outside the entrance to the hotel which is in a pedestrianised area. The staff told me there where plans to improve the facilities during the next year. Breakfast was reasonable in a pleasant, comfortable environment with a limited but acceptable offering. I think the hotel fits the criteria of a Boutique hotel as a more fitting description.We would stay again.

Jewel of a Hotel with a Solid Gold Staff
When I was dropped by my taxi at the beginning of a pedestrian street with instruction that my hotel was 50 meters on the right I became skeptical. Then when I found that I'd be lugging my bags up to the first floor registration I wasn't thrilled. At the landing half way up an attractive young lady [who I later found out was the acting manager of the property learning the business while her owner mother was out of town] appeared and grabbed my heaviest bag and lugged it up to reception. Fortunately, my room was just down the hall from reception and was one of the nicest rooms I've had on my 199 day journey so far. Over the next 3 days I found all the staff, especially Marina, Sofia and the aforementioned Aleksandra, extremely friendly and helpful in finding things to do, places to shop and restaurants to eat. They more than made up for the short walk and slight climb on my arrival. Unfortunately, I've been unable to upload pictures of room and staff to supplement my review.

Amazing Hotel
Stayed overnight because of a flight at Podgorics airport. Was blown away. Very good deal for a 4 star hotel. The service was unbelievable, so helpful and friendly, the hotel was BEAUTIFUL, and the breakfast the best I've ever seen in a hotel. We stayed here by chance but would definitely come back just for the hotel!

Central Hotel - great value!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Alexander Lux. Our apartment was huge! The living area had a comfortable couch and chair, desk(s) and furnished deck out the patio doors. Kitchen came in handy! Lots of storage throughout. Room dividers can provide privacy when needed - they thought of everything! The breakfast and room was great with a nice view of the street.  The hotel is very central in Podgorica; close to shops and restaurants. We explored easily on foot in a couple of days and had fun finding all 7 Transformers.  Marina on the front desk was very helpful; she booked our wine tour and taxi transfers and was always super friendly.

Nice little hotel with friendly staff.
This was a nice small hotel right in the middle of the downtown area so everything was within a couple of blocks. The room was very large and comfortable. My only problem was that the bars in the area had live music most nights and was a little loud in the room. Earplugs were a great help. Maybe the secret is just to go join the fun.

Langes Wochenende in Podgorica
Das Hotel ist zentral gelegen. Restaurants, Supermärkte, Parks und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Die gebuchte Suite war groß, hell und hatte einen schönen Ausblick. Das Inventar machte einen wertigen Eindruck und hatte teilweise sichtbare Gebrauchsspuren. Ein, zwei Sachen waren reparaturbedürftig. Der Gesamtzustand war aber in Ordnung. Der Service war insgesamt gut. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Während meines Aufenthaltes hatte ich eine Massageanwendung. Die war sehr gut. Als besonders angenehm empfand ich, dass das Hotel durchgängig rauchfrei war.
