Pet friendly Hotels Podgorica

We were very disappointed with this Hotel. The rooms smell like smoke despite it being a non smoking hotel. I am not sure if this is due to the cigar bar in the hotel, if people are smoking despite the rules, or if this was once a smoking hotel and perhaps has only been partially updated, meaning the smoke is in the carpets, etc. The rooms have brown carpet and thick heavy drapes. I am allergic to smoke and spent the evening sick. I informed the front desk and they said they couldn’t change rooms because the hotel was full. Another member of my family had another room and it also smelled like smoke. The reception said it may be a problem with “ventilation” and sent a housekeeper to spray the room with strong smelling perfume spray, which, of course only made the allergies worse. Additionally, I found black hairs all over the room and bed (in both rooms), smudges on the mirrors, food in the cracks of the glass table, and smears of something on the chairs and furniture. Needless to say, we were also disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. I have never seen so much hair in a hotel room, perhaps the housekeeping staff needs to use a hair net as the quantity was significant. I believe this hotel is popular with locals for the bar and cigar bar, as well as the gym. Sadly, it feels like some of the other areas are neglected, such as the restaurant which was dark and understaffed. Very limited options for those with dietary restrictions at breakfast with little labeling. Additionally, it feels like a hotel that caters to those who are in business groups rather than families. Despite not being able to be placed in rooms together due to “all the families “ wanting rooms together, I only saw one child in the hotel- the majority was business groups and young people smoking and hanging out at the bar.

We arrived in Podgorica at midnight on Sunday (after a 3 hour delayed flight) to find that the hotel we'd booked didn't have our reservation. As the clock had just struck midnight, it was my husband's birthday and I was really upset! Luckily, the hotel were able to ring around to try to help us and we decided to book a night at the Ramada - and we are so glad this happened! As soon as we arrived, Albert on reception was so lovely and kind. He is an absolute credit to the hotel and left us feeling really cared for. Even though the bar was closed he made sure we were able to get a drink, and in the morning after breakfast, we found a cake in our room! So many of the staff wished my husband a happy birthday too - it was really nice and unexpected. (Breakfast on the rooftop was great too!) Thank you SO much Albert and the team - you made our impression of Podgorica amazing, despite our initial bad experience :)

The hotel is in a very good location. The staff speaks excellent English. There are many cafes nearby. At first, I was given a dirty room. When checking the room, the girl from the reception honestly admitted that she had not checked the work of the cleaning lady. A cookie for openness. Usually, in such situations, the staff comes up with some kind of nonsense excuse, but here the girl honestly admitted her mistake. Respect for that. Then they gave me another room. It was significantly cleaner, but the stains on the sheets and worn-out towels did not indicate the high standards of cleanliness at this hotel. The friendly dog at the reception was the only positive emotion-causing element.

Sleeping there was a great experience. Owners are so nice and friendly, especially for tourists who are first time in Montenegro because they share a lot of informations about tourists places. Apartments are so nice, very clean, have great yard and parking places. Owner Dejan is great person, sport fan with lot of interesting stories from his life. I also like location because is quiet and nice and also not so far from center (around 9km) but also not far from Virpazar town and Skadar lake (around 20km). For sure this will be may place every time when I come to Podgorica!

Spent 7 nights at the Hotel 201 (formerly known as Bojatours Hotel) and was very satisfied with the customer service received and the room facilties were ”as described” on Booking.com. Especially the air conditioning - with temperatures of 30° every day this, was very welcome!  Great location with only a 10 minute walk to the bus and rail station! Plenty of bars and cafes within 300 metres of hotel (recommend ”Munchen Centrum” open 0700 until 2400) and only 2 minutes from hotel! Excellent food (including fantastic breakfast) and great selection of drinks all at great affordable prices!  Even though Montenegro is only a small country it has a lot to offer! Trips to the seaside towns of Budvar and Kotor as, well as the ”quiet sleepy town” of Herceg Novi all easily reached by direct frequent buses from Podgorica. Check out ”busticket4me” on Internet to book tickets, check out times and also intermediate calling points. Possible to easily buy tickets on line but remember to print a hard copy for access to the bus. In addition, a €1 ”platform ticket” is required to access buses from departure lounge at all major bus stations and try and be first in the queue to grab a front seat for some fantastic views from all sides. Seating is uncontrolled even though a particular seat number is on tickets - just board, and sit where you like!  One train journey is a must!!! It's a 3 hour trip to Bijelo Polje in the North (last station before Serbian border!). Sit on the left hand side for some fantastic scenery. Only 3 trains, a, day on this route (the day train to Belgrade not resumed running after Covid!). But the 0624 departure from Podgorica definitely worth getting up for! Nothing much to see there. Train waits for 45 minutes and returns south so you can be back in Podgorica by 1pm and all for €4 each way!!!  If you like a drink then perhaps the 1 hour train ride (90 minute busride) to Niksic may be a pleasant day/evening excursion. The main pedestrianised street under 10 minutes from bus and train station has so many bars together I lost count!!!!  All in all, back to base at Hotel 201 after 1 week and a 1,000km of travelling in this, small but surprising country.  Hotel 201 has, a great fully serviced kitchen for guests use and with a great supermarket (& ATM) just 100 yards from hotel, the choice is yours with beers in the bars at €2 for 0.5litre and bottles of wine from €1.65 in the supermarket all cooked in the fridge in each room!  Certainly will be returning on Wizzair £8.99 flights from London with friends as, soon as it gets, a little cooler. Thanks especially to Neda at the hotels reception for handling all queries - very helpful and her English is excellent! 👍 .
