"We absolutely loved our stay here! Peter, our host, was extremely helpful, he came to meet us the first full day we were there, and gave us loads of really helpful recommendations and tips, and was quick to respond. The property was lovely, exactly as advertised, and very well stocked. The only thing was that there wasn’t an air conditioning unit in the bedroom, but that was easily remedied by leaving the bedroom door open all day and night. The view was gorgeous and the pool was a lovely touch....

"The main selling point for the property is the view, which is incredible. I loved watching sunset from my balcony every evening and enjoying use of the pool. However, don’t be under the illusion that this is a hotel complex. It’s very much self catered apartments and is really in the middle of nowhere to some extent. There’s no main reception, it’s just a room with a sofa and quite often there was no one there when needed. They were quite responsive via WhatsApp but could’ve done with someone there more. There’s also no on site facilities such as food/store and a taxi into town costs around €25 one way a lot of the time depending on traffic, so my taxis back and forth got super expensive. Therefore I wouldn't book this place unless you have a car. Nothing was really explained to me at check in either so it was only on my last day that I realised the onsite restaurant that they talk about in the description is in a neighbouring hotel. All in all, I still enjoyed my stay but could have done with more info at check in such as local amenities/shops etc and a main staffed reception area. Granted the building is super new, so maybe some of these things will get better over time. If I came again I would either rent a car to stay here or book somewhere in the Old Town where you can walk everywhere."

"Kotor Nest was a beautiful property with a convenient kitchenette, ideally located within the city walls. The shower was lovely, with plenty of hot water, and it was easy to get around. It was a warm week when we were there, and the AC worked so well; it was nice coming into a cool place after a lot of walking and being outside in the heat. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We decided to stay an extra night, but since the property wasn’t available, they arranged another equally lovely place for us right across the way. They were so helpful and wonderful throughout our stay. We would definitely come back and recommend Kotor Nest to others."

"There were a few issues with the room, safe wasn't working on our arrival but staff fixed it quickly. The room was in need of some TLC just a few tweets and it would have made all the difference. IE: more cooking utensils, a microwave and a toaster.some extra plates and cups etc. The room also just needed a good clean as was dusty but minor issue. Staff were friendly and helpful. Entertainment would be great as in the evening if you want to stay in thereis just music in the background and you have to get taxis to the old town etc for bars and restaurants. Very pleasant stay. I would just stay biggest tip- budget taxis into your stay €20+€25 per trip to town."
