The hotel is located just inside the sea gate of the old town so it is very easy to get to with your luggage (cars cannot drive within the walls of the old town). We had a junior suite that had a great view outside the front of the hotel overlooking the plaza and the sea gate. The room was very clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They held our luggage until check in time and delivered a message from the driver that picked us up when we departed. The breakfast was very good with a great selection. The location is excellent for exploring the maze of streets in the old town. We highly recommend the hotel.

You should stay there

The hotel was very nice. The room was quite nice but there was no outlet in the bathroom and very few overall.
The breakfast was the usual - meats, cheese, cereals, cakes, eggs, potatoes. However the eggs and potatoes were not kept warm enough.

Great stay, center of kotor, great breakfast

Great location in center of old town, modernized historic hotel. First night our AC was making lots of noise and we complained and immediately got moved to an upgraded nicer room. Hotel is not easy to access, requires walking from main road through city gates into city, cars not allowed so keep in mind if you have lots of luggage. Excellent buffett breakfast and 24/7 coffee and tea. Nearest parking is cruise port which is across road and costs about $20euros a day. Tons of restaurants and shopping as soon as you walk out of hotel

Best Stay in Montenegro

With out a doubt this was our best stay in Montenegro. Staff were so polite, check in and check out was so easy. We had a Jr Suite 110 on 1st floor, so relaxing and view right out to main square. Very quiet at the night and if you wanted quiet during the day just keep windows closed. The breakfast was full and so many choices. Loved this hotel.

Hotel is centrally located. In the old town a minute walk from the entrance. Does not offer Parking nor has any preferential rate with any Parkings. Parking cost is 20 euros for 24hrs. The hotel breakfast is poor compared to other hotels and breakfast buffet is served in a small back room as if one is hiding although the hotel has a big cafe in the front. Very disappointing since breakfast buffet can be in the main restaurant. Rooms are Ok not much light. Room lacks tissue box and coffee machine

A solid choice in the center

Vardar seems to be one of the most solid traditional options for those who want to stay in the very center of Kotor. Standards and levels of comfort are relatively high, however some refurbishing is advised. The staff was not particularly friendly nor relaxed. We slept in a ‘suite’ which not such, but rather a pretty big regular room.

The hotel is in the perfect location to explore Kotor.

The room was very large, clean, and comfortable! And the bathroom was huge- double sinks, separate toilet, and Etro toiletries. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful with fresh berries, eggs, cheese, meats, cereal, and some sweets. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kotor!!

Hotel Vardar is located in the heart of the Old Town, very easy to find and perfect for visitors wishing to explore the town. My booking included car parking however upon check in, the receptionist refused to believe this, despite me having email confirmation of this. I had to contact Hotels.com to rectify this, which wasn't the best start to our break.

We enjoyed the rest of our stay however, and would recommend the hotel to others.

Very nice hotel inside the old town of Kotor

It is a very nice hotel in an excellent location in the old town of Kotor. Nice large room with a very nice and large bathroom. Lots of restaurants very nearby and short distance to all major attractions in Kotor.
However, two downside issues. The hotel is inside the walled town so no car access. Guests have to carry their lauggage for quite a distance. The other issue was a nearby bar or disco that played very load music and we could not get any sleep until 2 AM. Unless they take care of the noise I wouldn't stay there again. I believe the noise issue is common to all hotels in that area.

Ok central location, which is good or bad depending on your outlook. Paid for junior suite which was just a large room with 2 chairs. Carpet was disgusting, looks like someone vomited.

central location but average breakfast

The hotel is located just at the entrance of the Old City from the main gate (which I quite liked). But as cars can't come in, you need to take your luggage yourself. The hotel has a lift so thats not an issue. The rooms are comfortable and bathrooms big but given the location, it can get a little noisy at night if its one of the special celebration night or parties happening around. Again, it wasn't too much but we are not the sleep-in-dead-silence kind. The only issue was the breakfast which was very average and the staff at the breakfast seemed to be mostly missing.

Amazing setting, within old city walls

Fantastic location, helpful staff and owners, were genuinely pleased that we chose them and didn't come via a cruise ship! This place is simply amazing, the old city is beautiful and very safe, you need to stay within the walls to really appreciate it. Kotor is set within the inner most corner of a triple inlet, so has deep sea water but feels more like you're staying on the edge of a tranquil lake. It's bizarre to wake up and see a giant cruise ship moored up that dwarfs the city, but generally the ships clear out mid afternoon then you have the place to your self.

we arrived a day late for our reservation but it was honored with no problem. Our room was a bit dark as we were on the alley but quieter than a front facing room. The staff was quick to learn our individual likes for breakfast and were very accommodating during the day. We kept saying that we should try other restaurants for lunch or dinner but having a few mediocre meals elsewhere we very happily returned for most meals to the outside dining area enjoying watching the people.

Hotel Vardar is located just inside the old city walls (be advised that while they offer free parking, you have to get instructions from the front desk. The lot is just outside the old city walls and across the canal). They staff were very friendly and helpful and the associated restaurant (not the one in the hotel) Galion was the best meal we ate on our trip. Get the mussels you want regret it! Included continental breakfast was a tad disappointing but there was enough variety that I can't really complain. Our room was spectacular with a view right onto the old city square/main gate. We were on the top floor so noise was never an issue. Bathrooms and finishings were very comfortable.

Great hotel and location

The hotel is relatively pricey, but is in a great location and is very nice.

My wife and I stayed here after a week or so of hopping from sobe to sobe around Croatia (small privately owed apartments) - it was definitely a nice change having a reliable concierge desk, a great room/bathroom and a safe. A perfect way to end our trip. The Vardar staff was friendly and spoke English well - they also offered to make reservations at their partner restaurant (The Galion), which was very good (and they gave us a free bottle of wine! But it was Montenegrin and not great - insider's tip: mix it with soda water).

Their brochure advertises that they have a cigar lounge, which they do not - thought it was kind of funny they would advertise they had something that they didn't. And to call the tiny room on the top floor a \"Spa and Wellness Center\" is a stretch. Those were my only small conerns. I would definitely recommend for anyone who is willing to fork over a little extra money for the extra comfort.

A very nice place to stay in the centar of Kotor. The city is impressing and has its place on the World Heritage list. The mountains surrounding the city sets the scene for a pittoresque view. And the hotel Vardar is there, right in the eye. Good standard of rooms, internet (cable) working well, breakfast to order and a cosy cafe in front of the hotel at the plaza just inside the old city walls. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly.

No wifi in the rooms if that is relevant to anyone. Parking ourside the old town a 10 min walk away-easy and free.

I really enjoyed my stay at this wonderful hotel. The hotel is centrally located in the heart of Kotor. The hotel provides free parking just outside of the city walls. The breakfast buffet is very good. The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious even by American standards. The toiletries provided are of high quality. I loved the massive shower head in the bathroom. I was not bothered by the outside noise as some reviewers have complained but maybe because some of the clubs stopped operating in September. Walking through the square at 11pm at night, I did not hear any music blaring from the cafes and bars. I recommend eating dinner at Cesarica, (close to Hotel Marja in the Old Town). We ate there the first night and it was very good and cheap. The second night we ate at Galion which the hotel recommended and it seems that the hotel also owns it. I think the food was only ok. It does have a nice view of the old city but the food was nothing to write home about it. I thought my squid ink risotto was bland and my friend’s grilled squid was also bland. The grilled squid at Cesarica was much better.

Suggest you take ear plugs as it can get noisy at night with passing partygoers outside the hotel. Kotor is a fabalous spot and worth spending a couple of nights.
