Journalist, translator and guide in Montenegro.
This article is for people who prefer to stay in hotels and are looking for the best option in Montenegro. We have selected 28 best accommodations for every taste and budget. Our review includes vacation spots from different price categories: from luxury resorts to the hotels for average and meager budget.
- Best luxury hotel (Regent Porto Montenegro). A sophisticated option for demanding travelers and yachting enthusiasts. The high level of service and comfort allows us to assume that this is a perfect price-quality ratio and one of the best places to stay in Montenegro.
- Best mid-range hotel (Iberostar Bellevue). The Montenegrin resort keeps the high standards of the Iberostar chain. Iberostar hotels are always located on the first line and surrounded by gardens. The infrastructure of this one is not new, but it has its perks.
- Best low-cost hotel (Villa Alexandra). A villa for a big family or a group of friends is a cost-effective option if you want to stay in an isolated comfortable area away from prying eyes.

How not to make a mistake in choosing a hotel in Montenegro?
For this article, we selected the hotels of Montenegro that offer the best price-quality combination and have excellent tourist reviews.
Our opinion is based on more than 10 years of living in Montenegro and working with tourists. We have a profound experience of selecting the accommodation and sightseeing tours for completely different families and groups, as well as for single travelers and retirees.
Excellent knowledge of this mountainous country and its logistics, as well as the pros and cons of the resort's location allowed us to compile this list of the best hotels in Montenegro.
The assessment is based on the information from the hosts and tourist reviews according to 10 criteria:
- Location (distance from the sea and beach, walking access to the attractions, convenience for guided tours around the country).
- Variety of food (restaurants on site and alternative options nearby)
- Comfort and cleanness of the rooms (for example, extra-comfortable beds or a coffee machine in the room).
- Children-friendliness (presence of a playground, animators, babysitter, kids’ menu).
- Pet-friendliness (the conditions of some hotels and villas allow to stay with a pet, however, hotel owners often refuse to do so, which may be a disadvantage for some travelers)
- Comfort of the beach and entry into the sea, as well as entertainment on the beach.
- Internet access (we noted the repeated complaints about weak internet in the rooms or on the territory).
- Parking (free parking, indoor parking and parking by staff is always an advantage).
- Spa services (including hammam, massage, steam room, swimming pool).
- Business meeting areas (conferences), as well as accommodation for businessmen.
