We had an excellent stay. It’s a near perfect hostel, very social yet quiet enough to sleep well at night, and at very reasonable rates. The group outings/trips are definitely worth it, they were a highlight of my travels. It’s not a hostel for cooking meals, but everything else is rock solid. The staff even went way above and beyond for me to do me a favor when I had a bit of an emergency.
Liam Hunt — Google review
The location is perfect. Right in the centre of a beautiful old town. Bustling during the day and quiet in the evenings. The staff are so friendly. Nina was particularly communicative and helpful. The dorm was quiet, clean and so was the bathroom. There's a pool but I was told it's quite cold so I didn't swim.
Brent Brown — Google review
Great hostel! They organise fun and really affordable activities every day and they do amazing tours across the whole country. It is a great atmosphere, and also the best location.
Sebastiaan van Til — Google review
The rooms and hostel itself were great, affordable and easy to find. However I would like to make people (esp female solo travellers) aware that the current receptionist knows no such thing as boundaries, very touchy and even when I assured I wasn't interested i still felt harassed and uncomfortable. As far as I'm aware he is the head volunteer, but if management are reading I would consider looking out for the safety of your guests as this man clearly targets young girls while travelling.
Erin Roger — Google review
It is a very successful place in terms of hygiene, location and sociality. The staff is very attentive. It is also a nice advantage that the hostel is located in the Old Town. Prices are very good compared to the service. I highly recommend it to anyone considering staying in Kotor. 💕
Bilal Çayır — Google review
The hostel was wonderful. It was even better than expected. The price was amazing. The rooms were clean, very comfortable. The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hostel, especially Milan who went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Really great guy! Would definitely send a friend there.
Belma R — Google review
This place is amazing. When you arrive they welcome you in a super pleasant way. They explain to you what are the comforts of the place. The spaces are super comfortable and are always in good condition. You have a work area and to share with other guests. in another area are the rooms for better rest and noise isolation. You have a kitchen to save and be able to cook whatever you want! The hostel is located in one of the most representative areas of Kotor. If you like to walk and explore I recommend the path to the viewpoint that is near the hostel!
Carla Pisetta — Google review
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. The location couldn’t be any better as it’s right in the heart of the old town. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The daily planned events make meeting people so easy, would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a memorable time!

For a long time i am travelling and here is one of the best hostels. Manager Milan, Maria, Luka, Pi, everyone is amazing. You can have barbecue parties, boat trips, during the night meeting in the common area partying... Nothing to write go and live, enjoy the moments... And thank you for everything dudes🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿
Konuray YILMAZ — Google review
I just spent the last week at this hostel and it was absolutely amazing. The staff are so friendly - make you feel so welcome as a solo traveler. The rooms are very well kept and taken care of daily and the location couldn't be more ideal. You are walking distance from many great local restaurants, the ocean and cute shops. Highly recommend taking part of the activities they offer they were the highlights of my time in Kotor !!! ( I did the BBQ and the boat party). I already want to visit again and hoping to be back soon!
Logan McIntyre — Google review
Fabulous immaculate and comfortable hostel. I love the location right in the Old Town as it feels so special to walk outside onto cobbled streets and feel like a local. Spacious room, comfy bed, power plug at the bed and views to the harbour from the bedroom window and towels and blankets arranged like a hotel.. As a digital nomad, wifi connection is important to me and this hostel delivered. And also had a table in my 8 bed room as well as the comfy common area. A short walk to bus station and supermarket too. Loved this hostel, one of the best.
Tiffany Sharp — Google review
A social hostel in the heart of old town. The sunset barbecue (9 euros) was great and there is a common room in reception where people hang out. The only issue I had was the amount of noise from the street outside the dorm, as well as the clock chiming and the church bells ringing through the morning. I would also recommend the hostel takes cards and not cash only. Good fun and would book again.
Jonathan Anderson — Google review
Outstanding stay! I loved every minute here and the hostel was so much fun. There are incredible activities each night and it’s so easy to meet people. Location is unbeatable too and close to the bus station. Highly recommend.

Our stay at old town hostel went completely beyond my expectations. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The attention to detail in the decor is immaculate and the rooms are very clean. Location couldn’t be better too, right in the heart of old town, close to the beach and plenty of cute restaurants and shops. Definitely the best hostel i’ve stayed at, would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Kotor!
jasmine yang — Google review
I’ve stayed at Old Town Hostel Kotor twice now and have had the time of my life both times! It’s so easy to make friends in this hostel because of the activities they provide for everyone every day! I went on both the sunset bbq and the boat party and loved both. The location is unbeatable in the middle of old town - close to absolutely everything you’d want to be close to! I enjoyed swimming in the pool at the hostel and swimming in the ocean which isn’t a very far walk away. The staff are all amazing people and make you feel so welcomed. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! It’s an experience in and of itself. I’ll be back!
Brook Thate — Google review
Situated very conveniently at just a 5 minute walk from the Kotor Bus station, this hostel is really nice. Apart from the location being in the heart of Old Town, this place offers a really cool vibe with the reception being the best place for all to chill. Along with all the usual facilities as we have seen across hostels throughout UK and Europe, this hostel has a very nice host in Milan. He is very helpful and the reception desk has all the links and information required by foreign travellers.
Arya Rajat — Google review
Had a great stay here while visiting Kotor. I visited in late November and the room had comfortable beds and curtains for privacy. The hostel added an extra blanket to each bunk and we could also control the heat so the room was nice and cozy and warm overnight. Super clean bathroom (really hot shower!) and clean communal kitchen as well. Ali and Kiara are very friendly and helpful, and the lady who came in middle of the day to clean (I forgot to ask her name, oops) went above and beyond to come find me to return me a small bag I had forgotten in the room when I left. Truly amazing service! The location is also perfect.
Rona Hunter — Google review
The location is amazing, Kotor has one of the most interesting old towns I've seen. The bathrooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and with curtains. The hired staff and management were very friendly and accommodating. The Aussie volunteers of November 2023 do NOT like Americans; One of them went on and on about it in the lobby. (apparently because of our accent, it was quite uncomfortable) It's not really management's fault though, and it is a great hostel overall.
Noah Crowner — Google review
The best place to stay in Old Town!!!! Rooms, bathrooms and kitchen very clean, hot shower 24h, amazing staff. Everybody is friendly, nice and welcoming 🫶 One of the best hostels I've stayed so far! And the manager Milan is an extraordinary guy, he speaks Spanish!!! So if this is your native language you can have a good conversation with him!!! You won't regret staying here, just the best!!!
Aideé Bolaños — Google review
During my recent stay in the heart of the old town, I found this hostel to be a good experience. The location couldn't have been better, right in the middle of the old town's charm. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive vibe. The well-equipped kitchen was a plus, making it convenient for those who prefer to cook their own meals. The rooms were clean and had curtains for some privacy. The common room was comfy and provided a great place to relax. However, I have to mention a few downsides. It was a bit on the expensive side for an out-of-season hostel, which might not suit budget travelers. The temperature of the showers was a bit unpredictable, ranging from ice-cold to scorching hot, which was a bit of a nuisance. Also, keep in mind that they only accept cash for payment.
Aymeric Weber — Google review
Perfect hostel. Even though I actually booked a 4 dorm room the gave me the 8 dorm room. The location is absolutely perfect! In the old town and not far from the bus station and the sea. The staff is friendly and the kitchen is really good equipped.

The most beautiful place from our roadtrip while visiting Montenegro. Architecture, small villages, architecture and you can swim almost everywhere. Prices are a bit lower than in other cities. Would definitelly stay next timw longer to have a boat trip and explore other parts of the bay. Highly recommend to come hear and enjoy the nature and peace.
Līva Kupča — Google review
The most beautiful city in Montenegro. Incredible landscapes of the Bay of Kotor and the amazing Old Town! I recommend coming to this city for an excursion, if possible on your own, as here you will not be able to see everything in 2 hours! This place is worth spending the whole day! There are paid parking lots where you can park your car, the cost per 1 hour is from 1€ to 2€. To see the Bay of Kotor - rent a boat 40€-45€ for 1 hour. There are a lot of cafes on the territory of the Old Town, if you plan to have lunch - the average check for 2 people is 30€-40€.

The old town is one of the more distinctive and memorable places I visited, it is characterized by its medieval and wonderful character. It is one of those places for those interested in the history of the region or simple just looking for a cozy old town style to enjoy a meal or drinks in one of the many restaurants. There are distinctive cafes, luxurious restaurants, shops selling traditional antiques, traditional clothes and souvenir shops, as can be expected.
Kevin Apache — Google review
The Kotor Old City area was one of the best places I liked on this trip. It has many historical buildings, ancient city walls, and other constructions. The area also has so many souvenir shops and restaurants. This is a great place for vacations. They had the exchange of guards ceremony when we were there too.

Had a lovely walk up to the fortress - it’s a great heart starter & earns your breakfast ! If you can go early (7am) or earlier you’ll have the place relatively to yourself. Take water (you can buy I the walk as well), wear runners & head up & up & up - something like 1350 steps. Gorgeous views of the roofs of the old town

The breathtaking landscapes of Montenegro's Bay of Kotor stole my breath away. Surrounded by towering mountains, the fjord-like bay offered stunning vistas at every turn. Exploring the charming medieval towns of Kotor and Perast was like stepping into a fairytale. Climbing the city walls of Kotor rewarded me with panoramic views that will forever remain etched in my memory.

The old town is pretty with lots of streets and stone walls. There is no ticket required but not sure about the uphill climbing. Variety of shops with numerous colourful things definitely worth visiting. At the entrance, there is an info centre.

You pay 8 euros to get onto the trail that leads the fortress! Totally worth it as you get to see the best views of the bay of Kotor! Try to go early in the morning or late afternoon, as during the day there are many tourists coming from the cruising ships! And don’t forget to bring along a big bottle of water. It will be much needed!

The walls are in great shape and offer nice view of the bay - the section around the city is for free, if you want to go up to the fort, you will have to pay (8€) - well worth the hike.

Quite big old town, surrounded by walls and mountains Great place to visit. there is no entrance fee Plenty of all kinds of shops, restaurants, bars, ice cream bars, and churches Beautiful architecture, and at the end, you will find the entrance to the main path to the fortress on the top of the mountain Enjoy a great walk within this old town

This is a good size old town. Lots of streets to walk through. There are sections that are very busy but there are quiet areas too. There is a public restroom (WC) but they do charge to use it. There’s limited paid parking that is very close but there are larger paid parking lots available that aren’t too far of a walk. If you park on the opposite side from the old city there is an underground walkway at the corner across from the old town you take to get to the other side.
Travelbuff — Google review
A beautiful, well preserved medieval town steps away from the Bay of Kotor. There are many restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy and a simple walk through the town is very pleasant. The hike to the church and castle ruins is amazing and the views of the Bay are spectacular, a must see.
Cynthia K — Google review
Best time to visit - May until mid-June and September. Otherwise it is way too crowded. Just like all old Mediterranean towns, the streets are narrow and you have to climb a lot for good viewpoints, but the old town itself is a great place to lose yourself inyour imagination while walking around. Tons of restaurants, souvenir shops and street musicians.

Architecturally and aesthetically beautiful quaint town, surrounded by a historical fortress and home to several churches, stone buildings, palaces, museums, shops and restaurants. A must visit!

The Kotor old town city walls are an architectural marvel, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor and the surrounding mountains.

Amazing view. Completely worth the walk uphill. I speed walked and made it to the top in 35 minutes. For a more casual pace plan on an hour. The view is completely worth the effort. There are a few vendors selling water on the way up in case you don't bring your own. You should also plan on sturdy shows as the stairs can be quite uneven in spots.
Brad Kosar — Google review
Amazing views! We walked up the unofficial route through the "secret way" and then back down the official route. You get a different experience and it's free :-) You can continue up to the top of the mountain if you are not too tired and this fortress is only halfway up.
paul tottle — Google review
The views are stunning, I recommend taking the hike. It takes some time and is almost all stairs so take a bottle of water with you (it took us approximately 25 minutes with breaks to get to the top). The only thing we didn't like was the price, 8 euro per person seemed a little overpiced.
Coco Namure — Google review
Beautiful views. I recommend going up the hike from the ladder of kotor it's a little bit further away but there's no fee to to up and it's less populated.
Tanay Ved — Google review
Very strenuous climb but fairly safe, well marked. Mostly rock steps, crumbled stone. Stone wall at the edge. Literally 1200-1500 steps, who knows. It's a lot. There's nothing too risky, though. Views are incredible, so take your time and take lots of photos. Guy is selling water at the castle on top and midway. Silly as who would not bring water on a 4hr hike? Expect 2hrs up and 1 down. Expect to be tired. Bring lunch and water. No benches, no tables, no place to sit. Perhaps bring a blanket. No WC, either. Trash cans overflowing, litter everywhere, so "leave nothing behind but footprints." Please. Controversy about price? March 2023, they were fixing the turnstiles, so it was free. But, IMHO, 8E is certainly too much. Especially since nobody maintains the trail or the castle. Trash everywhere. Fixing the turnstiles? Perhaps they could instead send somebody up to remove garbage. Where does the 8E go? A real shame.
Steven Webb — Google review
Beautiful historical structure combined with a nice tracking opportunity. It would take you from 40 to 60 minutes to reach the fortress and viceversa. It's a tough enough uphill, but with the growing satisfaction of the beautiful scenery. Negative sides are the overall bad shape of the structure, not well maintained... and the fact that both going up and coming down, you can safely use just the part of the road with the stairs infact the other partel is too much slippery. This could slow you down if there are too many people.
Paolo Bellu — Google review
The place that is must visit if you are in Kotor. There is magnificent view of Kotor bay from the castle which you can enjoy for hours. There are more than thousand ladders which you must climb but it is not so difficult if you physically active in you daily life. But I strongly recommend you to start you journey at least at 8 am. In that situation you will climd mostly at shadow, which will make you journey more easy and enjoyable
Behruz Khalatai — Google review
YOU SHOULD DEFİNİTELY VISIT! 🎟️ The ticket is 8 Euro, when you climb all the stairs and see the view you'll see it's worth it. 🍩 I highly suggest you to bring some snacks,food etc to eat at the top point. 🏞️ İt's not so easy to climb to the top, you need to put some effort. İt's better if you carry 1-2 liter water with you. 🐈 And there are cats on the way you can feed them bring some food for them too. Enjoy 😊

The ruins of the old fortress of St. John, entrance 8€. There is a little more than a kilometer to go (1355 stairs), but it is worth it for the amazing view that spreads over the Bay of Kotor.

A very rewarding walk. The views on the bay are spectacular, and the ruins themselves are also quite interesting. Don't forget to bring something to drink (though your can buy cold drinks from the locals on the trail, but price can be a little bit high). Entry fee is 8 euros. Round trip took us about 2 hrs.

When we visited Saint Tryphon’s Cathedral we were astounded by the sheer number of religious artifacts and relics on display. Some date back to the ninth century and earlier.

To my great regret, this holy place is turning into a fundraiser... I'll start by saying that every time I come here, the price gets higher. This year the cost is 4€... The cathedral is Catholic, but the exposition contains many Orthodox exhibits. As an engineer, I see a lot of unreported omissions that are visible to anyone who comes to work. You can easily learn the history of the building from the prospectuses and excursions. I especially like the books and engravings presented.

The Cathedral of Sv.Tripuna is the most important monument of medieval Kotor. It was designated on an older cultural site, in which in 809 a pre-Romanesque church was built dedicated to the same saint. The cathedral is open for tourists, admission is 3 Euro. It also houses the Museum of sacral art.
Ante Toni Pejic — Google review
Beautiful building (on the outside) that also offers a relics exhibit but the entry price is 4 euro. Honestly, the price seems high for what the cathedral offers especially since it is the cathedral with relics which every cathedral has relics and all churches so far we’ve been to in this area are free. Please note my review is strictly based on seeing the building without going inside.

It is the best cathedral in Kotor city. It had two floors. The second floor is used as a museum. Also, you can go to the balcony and shoot great photos of the famous square in front of it. Free of charge.

Although the cathedral is small in comparison to some it's no less beautiful, with lots of pieces on display, including books, religious robes, relics, and paintings. Just a short walk from Kotor old town entrance so it's fairly easy to locate. The upstairs section is not wheelchair accessible however.

St. Nicholas Church in Kotor is a hidden gem within the ancient walls of the old town. The church's timeless beauty and well-preserved frescoes make it a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts. The tranquil ambiance inside the church provides a welcome escape from the bustling streets of Kotor. I was captivated by the intricate details of the frescoes and the sense of history that enveloped me. It's a remarkable piece of Montenegrin heritage and a testament to the rich cultural history of this charming town.

(Translated by Google) Main square of the city. You can get here by going through the main gate. Before visiting the city, I advise you to google the cruise schedule and plan your visit based on this. When you cruise in the city, the number of people doubles. Be sure to walk along the wall - the entrance to the wall is at the main gate and at the Gurgich Bastion. And of course, climb the fortress above the city (Original) Главная площадь города. Сюда можно попасть пройдя через главные ворота. Перед посещением города советую загуглить расписание круизов и спланировать свое посещение исходя из этого.

This is quite the heart of the compact old town of Kotor. It's a beautiful little town here and this piazza is right after you walk through the sea gate coming from the cruise port. Several shops, cafés and restaurants with tables out, the famous Clock Tower (Torre del reloj), the tourist information, some banks and much more is to be found here on this biggest piazza in town. It's a big, wide place. And even with three cruise ships in port it never felt crowded. Kotor is a nice town (some of the towner attitude still have to improve though) and is on the rise. I assume it will be more visited in the future. It's charming, it has nice architecture throughout and it's easy to walk and navigate.

(Translated by Google) I liked the city very much, it seems to me that this is the first historical place in Montenegro where a tourist should go. Beautiful, Venetian, Italian influence is felt, very steep old defensive part of the fortress with loopholes, facing the sea - once it fought off Captain Barbarossa himself, the Turkish storm of the seas :) It is very beautiful here at dusk. Well, cats and count! (Original) Город очень понравился, мне кажется, это первое историческое место в Черногории, куда стоит пойти туристу. Красиво, венециански, чувствуется итальянское влияние, очень крутая старинная оборонительная часть крепости с бойницами, выходящая на море- однажды она отбила самого капитана Барбароссу, турецкого грозу морей:) Очень красиво в сумерки здесь.

By the way, they have wired opening hours, like we went there twice and they were on the brake.

The cat museum in Kotor, Montenegro is a little bit of a misnomer. While many would assume it has actual physical cats - it’s really devoted to images of cats in advertising and news. It’s got some really interesting pieces and a lot to look at in it’s few tiny rooms. There’s also a nice gift shop and a couple of very hot and not moving live cats lounging on a table. It’s worth the few dollars to see if you have the time. It is a bit difficult to find, it’s in a courtyard behind the buildings that Google maps directs you to.

A place worth visiting if one seeks historical knowledge of kotor, maritime history and rulers of dubrovnik republic and its inhabitants. An audio guide was provided which made the experience even better, the receptionist was very welcoming and charged me ticket with student discount and i was able to experience the whole museum for 2€ only, despite the fact that i am student in my home country not in montenegro, they charged me 2€ only whereas normal tourist ticket was for 8€, making it encouraging for students to attend the museum and remember the history, highly appreciate their service and effort to keep the museum in such good condition.

Beautiful park. Stunning 360 degrees view from the top with magnificent mountain landscape. I bet it would be breadth taking in sunrise or sunset. 2 euro tix for the park entry and 5 euro each person for the mausoleum entry. Worth it though. The number of stairs seems a lots but only take you less than 10 mins to climb to the top. Going down is even faster so dont worry. Suitable for all ages. Just be careful on the top if you have kids since no fence. No proper car park, so just park on the side of the road toward the mausoleum. Try not to block other cars though. Petrol station is available in the town only sl ensure you have enough petrol before driving to the park. There was a lovely girl doing fresh pomegranate juice near the entrance stair. For 3.5 euro a cup, it was the sweetest best fresh pomegranate juice I have ever got. Worth the wait even if having queue.

Historic but not very impressive gate. Small and a bit ugly, nothing ornate or decorative. The cannons outside are sad and common. For a main gate to the only major attraction in the town, they could spruce it up a bit. It needs more "wow". This was really April, so maybe off-season. Indeed, lots of guys were planting flowers, perhaps preparation for the season. Be careful. We saw several pickpockets working the gate tunnel carefully, like cats stalking birds.

The street name here is based on Number as they are afraid that they may forget some important names of people. There are one restaurants with the water pipe, that one is called gossip square as housewives in the past were there to get water and washes clothes. The cathedral was a mix between catholic and Orthodox Church as they worked collaboratively to fight against Ottoman Empire. On the second floor of the church, you will find many relics.

Really small mall not worth visiting. The aprox 20 small stores here are all expensive.

Horrible place completely unfriendly like the whole city who sold itself to tourism above their own pride. This mall kicked us out with brutality for entering with our small dog (didn’t see the sign at the entrance). The service guard was completely unfriendly and brutal, making us feel like criminals. Montenegro has a long way ahead towards decency. Avoid

I would urge them to open a food court for some chain fast food like other shopping centers, if someone needs to do casual shopping then this is the only place in kotor.

It is a good but a small mall. We found it on the last day and liked it. We never expected to find such a place in Kotor. I guess food options were less. The kids' play area was good and only charged 3 euros.

Mall is ok, expensive name brands but... the WCs upstairs beside the zen fitness club are great. And there's a super nice balcony with an excellent view of the mountain beside a small coffee shop. Sunny, not windy, 3 takes and assorted chairs. Just follow the smokers. Parking at the mall is ok at 1.5E hour. Lot is small, so it fills up.

I've met Matthew there and he really helped me to understand every icon of this church. It was interesting experience, thanks for this again. And also I walked around the bazaar and saw Turkish salesman but I don't know if he is Mustafa or not :)

This Catholic church is built in 1221. The stunning bronze door with biblical sculptures is beautiful
