Great little hotel, nice staff, good location. Enjoyed the breakfast. Only downside is the very loud music from nearby club that goes till 1am in the morning. Not the hotel's fault but doesn't allow for a restful night's sleep.

The hotel itself is gorgeous and located in the heart of the old town - it’s very easy to get to everywhere and there’s lots of food options around. The staff were lovely and the room was very clean. The thing that really let it down were the bars outside which blasted music until 1am - I am a heavy sleeper but even I couldn’t ignore the room vibrating from the music outside. It’s fair that this is not the hotel’s fault, and the staff were extremely apologetic but there was unfortunately nothing they could do and so it meant I got poor sleep 2/3 nights we stayed (this was on weekdays). Alternatively, you could join in on the party at the bars instead!

This is properly a boutique hotel. It feels special the moment you walk in. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and very well designed. The building is cosy and location great. (Bar across the road a bit noisy, if you're a light sleeper ask for a room at the back). Roof bar beautiful. Staff SO friendly. The only thing I would change is to make breakfast a generous buffet situation rather than an order and eat situation. On the whole, very pleased, would go back. Probably will.

Staff is friendly and helpful! The unfortunate part of the stay is the hotel is surrounded by 3 bars so it was loud late into the night, not a good sleep.The AC didn't really work so we had a warm room. Hotel could improve by fixing missing baseboards and broken light fixtures in the hallway, Broken and missing toilet flush mechanism in the downstairs restroom. Not sure why we had a second refrigerator in the room that didn't work? Breakfast was good and plenty. Hotel needs maintenance!

Located in the heart of the old town Kotor, Hotel Hippocampus is an excellent boutique hotel. Just 3 min walking from both sea gate and river gate, hotel Hippocampus is manned by excellent friendly staffs. Our superior room was very clean, beautiful stylish luxurious interior, very comfortable bed and very clean bathroom. The breakfast served was freshly made and tasteful.

Great hotel in beautiful Kotor

We loved our stay at the Hippocampus. All of the staff we met were really friendly and welcoming. The room was large and comfortable and breakfast was good (although a little more variety would have been welcome). The hotel is in the heart of the old town making it perfect for exploring beautiful Kotor - but it does mean it is noisy at night being next to a bar - the only downside in an otherwise amazing stay.

Night club next door

The hotel is located in the heart of Kotor, which is great except…there is a night club next door. Loud music would be an understatement. The hotel provides ear plugs but they do nothing for a loud base. We asked for a refund for the second night to go elsewhere but they did not allow a refund and said we had received a message with a note on the location of the hotel and the noise, that was not the case. They did change our rooms to the quieter side, however the noise did not improve. Had we known about the noise we would not have booked this stay.

As travelled to Kotor by bus from Dubrovnik I planned to get a taxi for taking our luggage to this Hotel but none of the taxis at the bus station would take us on this trip and said to walk. This was difficult with 3 suitcases but soon saw that there were no roads in the OLD Town for any motor vehicle. Passage ways about 2 m wide! Took about 30 min to find Hotel.
Hotel noisy with music and talking to about 1 am each night. Dinner and breakfasts OK for the price. Room was AC but shower was strange - no shelf for soap, shampoo while holding shower head !
Staff indicated they would help with luggage back to bus station 2 days later but that did not happen. So not a pleasant memory of 2 days and nights at this Hotel.

If sleep is important to you, this is NOT the hotel to stay at. The hotel itself is great, charming, the reality is it is next door to effectively a nightclub. The music goes on till approx 1.30am, EVERY NIGHT and it doesn't matter what floor of the hotel you are on, it's unavoidable. Do not stay on the first floor at any cost, you will not sleep. Otherwise, breakfast and the rooftop are both great.

This is a tough review to write, because the property was complicated. It is within the old walled city (awesome) so was a little challenging to find (addresses are unusual, and parking was difficult). The staff were so friendly and helpful (awesome) but there was no hot water during our stay (not awesome) and the bar across the street/alleyway was really loud until 2am. Really loud, as in impossible to sleep. Not the hotel's fault, but be aware. And the hotel doesn't appear to be finished yet, as there were no numbers on the rooms on our floor, and evidence of construction underway on other floors. So overall, really great potential but check before you stay.

Excellent small boutique Hotel in Kotor

What a gem!!
I was very surprised of this small hotel in the middle of the Old Town in Kotor.
Yes, it was a bit tricky to find, but what a place!
Absolutely excellent service, regardless of the small size of the hotel. They only have 10-12 rooms, but their service was outstanding and the breakfast delicious.
Rooms very decorated in both modern and old style, and very attractive.
Beds were comfortable and the TV had too many channels to even be able to watch a small portion of.
Internet was a bit unstable, but worked mostly ok.
All around the place there are shops, restaurants, cultural events, and so on. You are truly in the midst of everything.
There is no parking or cars allowed inside the Old Town, so you need to find a parking space outside (which could be tricky and expensive).
I stay around 150 hotel nights every year, and this is right in the top ten of those!
Highly recommended.

Truthful Review

Service staff were friendly, attentive and responsive. Breakfast was good and worth every single cent.

However, the bathroom was poorly designed. You will need to be approximately 1.7m (height) in order to check yourself in the mirror. Also, the bathroom will be flooded after every shower, despite the fact that we took extra care in minimizing water splashing. A set of shower curtain would greatly help to reduce the flooding issue.

Noise complaints were valid as hotel was located right in the heart of old town. We had to use ear plugs to get to sleep.

Style over Substance

This boutique hotel came highly rated in onlinne reviews, and appeared as a started choice in the Lonely Planet guide. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience, primarily, but not exclusively, due to the noise of a nearby bar which pumps out music so loudly until midnight that it's impossible to sleep. Apparantly it's 'the' place to be, but its presence andusic licence is so at odds with its medieval surrounds that it's in the realms of the ridiculous. On asking the front desk about the possibility of being moved to another room, we received a jaded and disinterested response informing us that the problem is the same in every room, the bar has a licence until 12am and that the police could be called after that. Oh, and they had some earplugs if we wanted them. We stayed 3 nights and this was a major problem each night. To sell bookings to customers without informing them of this major issue is disingenous to put it mildly. Whilst the hotel and rooms do look very nice in part, there were a number of issues that were completely unacceptable for a hotel of this apparent standard. Two sets of electrical sockets were hanging out of the wall. Electrical wires were sticking out of another point outside the room. The bedsheets were stained on places. One of the bedside tables marble tabletops became loose and we were told to place the lamp in the middle to balance it. It would break a foot if it toppled. The bathroom door wasn't aligned. The toilet wasn't private

It really is unique. Right in the middle of it all. My GPS was not working and the old town is a maze. I was SO lost trying to find this hotel, not for lack of a map. It was hard for locals to show me where it was. I arrived at 1AM after wandering for an hour. I have great music and earplugs. People enjoy this city until exactly 2 am. DO NOT expect a quiet room anywhere in this city. It is a party city. That is why people go there. There is a roof top restaurant that has a fantastic view of the mountains. The staff was fantastic, especially Phillip. He was a fantastic waiter. So great, I tipped him on my way out. This property has some strange quirks. The bathroom is difficult to get around in. It is also surrounded in glass with a glass door that blocks the sink. Very \"hip\" but not functional. The other things were good. It was VERY hot and the AC could not handle the heat wave. But they gave me a standing fan and it worked out great. I would fix those bathrooms though and bump up the AC. I had the best dinner and breakfast in the five weeks I was traveling.

Nice room but not sound proof! beware of noise!

The room is clean and location is perfect for old town of Kotor. Service is good either. The only flaw is the noise. The room is not sound proof, there is a music bar just opposite and the loud music goes on till late at night and you could hear people singing and it was LOUD! when you just want to get a good night rest, this will be a problem. The music only faded away after 11ish pm and then we were able to sleep after that. We had two rooms booked and our friend on the other floor was also having the same problem, loud music all night long and no sleep. If this is your concern, I do advice that you picked another place, unless if you only go to bed after 11pm.

Superlative Hotel In Kotor Old Town

Set right in the centre of the Old Town. Cathedral, churches, city walls, entrance to Kotor Fortress, Maritime Museum all within literally five minutes walk. Easy access to a diverse range of pubs and restaurants within the same walking distance. Staff were very friendly, rooms were clean and there was an excellent choice for breakfast. However although beyond the remit of the hotel it can get very noisy here at night from the onset of darkness until 1am, so I would bring a set of good earplugs.
