Hotel kingStone Budva

Newish hotel and it was wonderful. While there are more rooms than you think it felt really intimate. I have to say though the staff were phenomenal. When we arrived to check in there was someone in front of us and team made sure to acknowledge us. They were always happy to give advice and just have a chat. We have to say out absolute super star was Tijana who took especially good care of us and made us feel like family from the second we stepped on property. We loved the views and for us it was perfect it was a little further out from Budva. We loved exploring the beaches of Kamenovo, Mogren and Jaz

One thing is if you are sensitive to noise. We could sometimes hear cleaning upstairs and is close to a road so when you sat outside you would have cars passing by. For us we were often out exploring and you could not hear it from the rooms so it was not a big deal for us but if that is important for you I would take that into account

Comfortable room, good view and nice pool area.

Having to pay for any ironing

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast offered a great variety of options. We loved the hotel’s design and appreciated the parking and spa facilities. Everything was great, and we would happily stay here again!

nothing, all was great

The property itself was very clean - the rooms and everywhere else. The room was spacious, well lit and generally well designed, with everything one could need. - Great blackout curtains. Breakfast was tasty, with some local options. The cook and cleaning ladies were absolutely sweet. We got a complimentary bottle of wine, as we were celebrating our engagement. Contact with reception through whatsapp is smooth. Wifi works very well. The gym is well stocked and clean.

The lack of being upfront about payments and general greed of the management. When we arrived on our first day at 16:30 we were told we could not use the spa that day as it was already fully booked - we paid for spa access in the price of the room and couldn’t use it. As we stayed friday evening - sunday morning the receptionist reluctantly agreed for us to use the spa on Saturday and Sunday. One hour max, each time, an extra hour was 20€. In any reasonable hotel, we would be using the spa at least 3 times, with unlimited time. The only pool suitable for swimming is located inside the spa, meaning you have max 1 hour to use it. The indoor pool is also very cold. The outdoor one is not heated. We hoped to get a massage at the spa, ready to pay extra for it; but the masseuse had apparently quit, so no massage for us. We asked the receptionist to turn on the saunas at 11, so they would be ready for our slot. She did not turn on the dry sauna, only the steam room. The jacuzzi from the photos was nowhere to be found. For some reason all the door handles at the spa are completely damaged and the locks on the cabinets for personal items at the spa rusty. And there is no toilet seat in the spa toilet. On the second day, about half of the lights in the spa were turned off; so we got to shower in the dark, as we could not find the light switch. The rooms are advertised to be soundproof; but that’s as far from the truth as it could be. We could hear the group next to us having a conversation at 1 in the morning. The reception is not 24 hour; but 7-23; so we could not get a receptionist to talk to the loud neighbors. The parking situation is not great either. There is a 2 level parking costing 10€ per day. The vegetables and salads at breakfast looked to be about 4 days old, in both cases. The manager seems to be a tad aggressive about asking guests for their room numbers at breakfast - of course it’s important, but maybe in a bit less harassing tone.
