We chose this hotel on our own, there were 2 criteria - price and location. Knowing full well that we were going to a big, noisy, popular city, we wanted to live in a relatively quiet place, but at the same time not too far from the sea. Nikolic, indeed, did not deceive expectations. The location of the hotel is wonderful. 15 minutes walk to the sea, nearby there are a lot of cafes, shops, there are tents with clothes, beach equipment, a bus station is a 5-minute walk, to stops from which Budva-St. Stefan, about the same. In general, the location is great! What else did we like? Nikolic is located in the "Montenegrin-Serbian" quarter (99% of the residents are local), respectively, the prices in the cafe are set "as for their own". They are 2, and in some positions even 3 times cheaper than on the promenade and just in the city center! This, of course, is a significant plus : ) To be honest, the absence of large "Tagilov" companies in this area was a plus for us : )) Although in fairness I will say that a couple of times they were trying to replace them by the Serbs shouting from the hotel opposite (I understand who one of them left, in honor of this they arranged a noble drinking party), but, fortunately, this was only twice. So there are no questions about the location and infrastructure. We've got everything set up. As for the hotel itself, it is quite nice, cozy. We love small family hotels and this one is one of them. It even has its own small territory (very, very small, but in Budva everyone has a problem with this), a couple of decorative fountains, a veranda. Everything looks nice and neat. But in general, lovers of space are better, of course, to choose something else, because a few more are almost very close to the hotel and periodically felt "like a herring in a barrel. " For us, this was not critical, because we did not spend much time at the hotel, but for some, I know, this is important. About the numbers. We asked in advance to place us on the 3rd floor, because there are slightly more rooms than on the 1st, 2nd. It was nice that the hosts took into account our wishes and immediately upon arrival gave us the key to the room on the 3rd floor. The room is not the biggest, the bathroom is even smaller (there is almost nowhere to turn around), but in general, everything was clean, tidy, we were pleased with the presence of our own balcony (in some rooms there is none, but there is access to a common terrace), air conditioning (as he saved us in the heat! ), the design of the room itself and hotels (pictures were hung everywhere, etc. ). Why then put 7, you ask? Due to minor imperfections. Well, for example, we wanted to somehow drink tea in the room. We decided to put the kettle on (it was in the room), but it didn’t open, either the button was jammed, or there were problems with the lid, in general, we poked and poked - we decided that it would be easier to go to a cafe nearby. The situation is similar with the hair dryer. He may have worked. But when I took it out of the locker, took it in my hands - my mother! - just hardened dirt, inside - too. It felt like it hadn't been wiped for 10 years. To be honest, I disdained to dry my long hair with it. . Although I never considered myself a sissy before. The lack of a normal trash can also worked in the negative. There was a small trash bin in the bathroom, but the big one didn’t have it at all (as I understand it, there is a huge problem with trash bins in the country, as well as with napkins), as a result, it clogged up very quickly and every other day we went to throw the garbage into containers ourselves. Because of these minor flaws, which, in general, are not so difficult to eliminate (perhaps in other rooms the kettle worked and the hairdryer was normal), and put 7. But in general, I repeat, the hotel is not bad. And you should choose it only because of its location! If you happen to have a rest in Budva. I'm looking for a place to live in this area : )
