Hotel Palata Venezia

Dies ist ein schlecht geführtes, schlecht gepflegtes Hotel mit einer großartigen Aussicht. Kratzende Handtücher, kein heißes Wasser, kein Druck, spartanische Betten in winzigen Zimmern. Es ist sehr schwer zu finden, die Beschilderung ist schlecht. Wir nahmen mehrere Zimmer für unsere Gruppe und eines war schlechter als das andere.

This is a charming hotel with a beautiful hibiscus and green garden courtyard overlooking the harbour. It is conveniently situated in the heart of the old town, among and close to the best restaurants, and a short hike to beach clubs to the west and north. It also has one of the prettiest and chilled restaurants in town. This offers a variety of local cuisine and a discount to folk who stay at the hotel. Some of the hotel guests enjoyed the food so much they ate in the restaurant every evening! All of the staff are very friendly, and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay and meeting both the staff and guests from all around the world including South Africa, Belgium and Germany. The hotel also has a small pool which is great to cool off in and enjoy the first and last embers of sunlight. Though it is small if you wish to plough lots of lengths. The only challenging point to highlight is the lack of owned and free hotel car parking and high levels of traffic in Ulcinj which can sometimes make navigation and parking difficult. In the lower town driving around can be quite stressful as cars often park with butts into the road, and pedestrians walk as much on the road as the pavements. However with hard-won know-how of the town, there are three 'convenient' areas where car parking is possible; two free areas and one chargeable. The two free areas are around the harbour (which necessitates a short stroll up to the hotel) and on the north side of the old town walls. There is also a pay for car park on the north side of the old town wall where it is usually possible to park at most times. Buying a day ticket allows you to drive in and out as much as you wish for 24 hours. As of Sept 24, this costs around 15 Euros/day. You can also pay by the hour, c. 2 euros/hour.

This hotel’s best feature by far is its stunning location, but that does little to compensate for everything else. We had. 2 bed apartment that felt quite dated. The only aircon unit was in the living area, the furthest it could be from the bedrooms and given it was nearly 40c, this felt like a bad design. While we didn't plan to self-cater, it would have been quite tricky given that the kitchen contained no plates, nothing to cook with, just a handful of cutlery. The bathroom was small and also felt dated. The breakfast was really poor. The hot choices were pretty poor quality (watery scrambled eggs, etc.) while the cereals consisted of 3 ultra-processed chocolate sugary choices, and the museli was a bowl of dry, uncooked oats with a couple of raisins in it - yuck! There was fruit but nothing looked fresh. The worst thing by far was the noise. The hotel is positioned above the nightclubs, which meant that on both nights, it was impossible to sleep until the music stopped at 1am. Our room was probably in the worst possible location, being right on the edge, but there was no escaping how loud it was. I asked reception for earplugs, but they didn't have any. If we hadn't been at the end of our holiday, we would have left after 1 night and gone elsewhere. We didn't venture to the beach because honestly, it just looked awful! Literally, every inch of sand was covered by a parasol or lounger, this is not our idea of a nice beach. Thankfully, the hotel's pool, although small, never got that busy, so after exploring the old town, which, to be honest, didn't take long at all, we just relaxed by the pool. The only good thing was the staff. Everyone, apart from the lady who checked us in and didn’t show us where the pool was, was really friendly and helpful. The transport up the hill with our luggage on the golf buggy was fun and in the heat, a saviour!

Some bad: small room with very basic equipment (not even one chair!!) although with comfortable bedding. Many goods: the perfect location, the fantastic building,the nice welcome, the good breakfast and the very reasonable pricing. A good address but not for an extended stay.

We had a wonderful weeks holiday at the hotel Palata Venezia. It was the first time we had visited Montenegro (Ulcinj ) and we will definitely return . We were collected from Tivat airport and this was arranged by the hotel .From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were made to feel very welcome .All of the staff were so helpful. We had a large room with a huge shared terrace .The setting and view for breakfast was amazing . The atmosphere in the hotel was welcoming and friendly and we felt part of the hotel family . English was spoken by most of the staff and management and we experienced no language barriers. Nothing was too much for them to arrange.

A very nice place in the old town in Ulcinj overlooking on the Adratic sea We sat in the terassa and drank watching the see the honest and nice director spoke with us about Montangro a very pleasant place must come!!! It is an hotel and restaurant we didn’t eat but all the dishes looked great
