Reviews
The location is perfect – just a short walk to the center and very close to markets, restaurants, and fast food options. Despite being so central, the neighborhood is quiet and relaxing.
What truly made our stay special was the outstanding staff. A huge thank you to Dunja and Helena, the two lovely ladies at the reception, always smiling and helpful. Also, thanks to the gentleman who went out of his way to help us surprise our daughter for her birthday and made sure every guest enjoyed their breakfast – always offering Turkish or espresso coffee with a kind word. Special thanks as well to the owner, who made our daughter's birthday even more memorable.
Breakfast was a highlight – varied, fresh, and incredibly delicious every morning.
Other than the incredible staff, the room was also incredibly clean, had all the facilities needed and there’s a good breakfast with multiple options every morning.
Location of the hotel is about 5-10 min walk from the beach and there’s multiple mini supermarkets nearby. Also about a 10-15 min walk from the bus station.
Highly recommend staying here!
We had a bicycle that the apartment owner allowed us to store in her personal space in the garage. This garage is shared between the hotel and the apartments. The owner gave me a key to open the garage door.
One day, after dropping my child off at kindergarten and returning, I opened the garage and started bringing in the bicycle. A car was about to exit but stopped. A bearded man, whom I often saw at the hotel entrance—where he and another bearded colleague spent entire days chatting and doing nothing—looked out from the car. He was holding a small child on his lap while driving. He began shouting at me in Montenegrin. From his words, I understood that he was demanding I leave immediately, claiming I had no right to be in the garage. My attempts to ask questions or explain only made him shout louder. When I went to park the bicycle, he began following me with his car. He said that if it weren't for the child (whom he was holding the entire time), he would beat me up. When I asked who he was, he replied that he owned the whole building. He then drove off, cursing.
The apartment owner came immediately upon hearing about the incident. We went to the hotel reception, but the man wasn't there. The Idila Hotel staff refused to help us in any way. The owner asked them to inform this man that he should never yell at her tenants again.
I encountered this man several times afterward. When asked directly if he wanted to apologize, he simply turned away. After that, he would always pass by in silence.
I believe this situation speaks volumes about the staff at the Idila Hotel.

The room is very big, including a kitchen and a balcony. The room is super clean, design is up to date and the bathroom is new. I do wish they would offer different soaps for body vs. shampoo and conditioner, but this is the most ridiculous comment I have ever had on a hotel.
Breakfast was worth it - fresh veggies, eggs, nuts, granola, pastries and fruit. From what it looked when we were looking for an hotel in Montenegro, it's more than average.
They have a lots of parking soace, a groceries store near the hotel, based right near the beach and it's 15 mins walk from the old town.
They have a small gym and a swimming pool which we didn't try because it was cold.
We will definitely come back on our next stay. Thank you Admiral hotel team!
Breakfast was perfect, nicely presented and delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beach is just a 5–10 minute walk away, and the Old Town is also close.
The pool area is cosy and pleasant, and you can even take the towels to the beach (just let the reception know first). One thing to keep in mind: there’s no elevator in the building.
For about 10 hours there was no hot water in the hotel. After coming back from the sea and the pool, we couldn’t shower and had to stay like that for dinner and going out. The showers only had freezing water, and when we approached the staff we were told this was a recurring problem throughout the hotel, and that the technician could only come the next morning. Only thanks to a very kind employee, who personally went to the boiler and fixed it himself, the problem was eventually solved.
The next morning we approached the reception expecting at least some acknowledgment, but instead experienced terrible service: the manager denied the issue completely, accused us of lying, and spoke in a rude and dismissive way. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had in a hotel. The staff members were nice, but the manager’s attitude was simply unacceptable.
Other things to note:
• No elevator in the hotel, and this is not mentioned anywhere.
• The room was very small, even though we booked a “Superior” (supposedly the largest).
• Noise is heard clearly in the rooms.
Bottom line – I do not recommend this hotel at all.
Staff were very helpful. We asked them to arrange airport shuttle for arrival and departure.
Breakfast options could be more. Only pork was available. There could be beef.
