Hotels near Monument to the Montenegrin National Dance ‘Oro’, Podgorica

Spent 7 nights at the Hotel 201 (formerly known as Bojatours Hotel) and was very satisfied with the customer service received and the room facilties were ”as described” on Booking.com. Especially the air conditioning - with temperatures of 30° every day this, was very welcome!  Great location with only a 10 minute walk to the bus and rail station! Plenty of bars and cafes within 300 metres of hotel (recommend ”Munchen Centrum” open 0700 until 2400) and only 2 minutes from hotel! Excellent food (including fantastic breakfast) and great selection of drinks all at great affordable prices!  Even though Montenegro is only a small country it has a lot to offer! Trips to the seaside towns of Budvar and Kotor as, well as the ”quiet sleepy town” of Herceg Novi all easily reached by direct frequent buses from Podgorica. Check out ”busticket4me” on Internet to book tickets, check out times and also intermediate calling points. Possible to easily buy tickets on line but remember to print a hard copy for access to the bus. In addition, a €1 ”platform ticket” is required to access buses from departure lounge at all major bus stations and try and be first in the queue to grab a front seat for some fantastic views from all sides. Seating is uncontrolled even though a particular seat number is on tickets - just board, and sit where you like!  One train journey is a must!!! It's a 3 hour trip to Bijelo Polje in the North (last station before Serbian border!). Sit on the left hand side for some fantastic scenery. Only 3 trains, a, day on this route (the day train to Belgrade not resumed running after Covid!). But the 0624 departure from Podgorica definitely worth getting up for! Nothing much to see there. Train waits for 45 minutes and returns south so you can be back in Podgorica by 1pm and all for €4 each way!!!  If you like a drink then perhaps the 1 hour train ride (90 minute busride) to Niksic may be a pleasant day/evening excursion. The main pedestrianised street under 10 minutes from bus and train station has so many bars together I lost count!!!!  All in all, back to base at Hotel 201 after 1 week and a 1,000km of travelling in this, small but surprising country.  Hotel 201 has, a great fully serviced kitchen for guests use and with a great supermarket (& ATM) just 100 yards from hotel, the choice is yours with beers in the bars at €2 for 0.5litre and bottles of wine from €1.65 in the supermarket all cooked in the fridge in each room!  Certainly will be returning on Wizzair £8.99 flights from London with friends as, soon as it gets, a little cooler. Thanks especially to Neda at the hotels reception for handling all queries - very helpful and her English is excellent! 👍 . 

No free mineral water. The location is in the new city, not in the traditional old city. The facilities are still ok and relatively new.

We arrived in Podgorica at midnight on Sunday (after a 3 hour delayed flight) to find that the hotel we'd booked didn't have our reservation. As the clock had just struck midnight, it was my husband's birthday and I was really upset! Luckily, the hotel were able to ring around to try to help us and we decided to book a night at the Ramada - and we are so glad this happened! As soon as we arrived, Albert on reception was so lovely and kind. He is an absolute credit to the hotel and left us feeling really cared for. Even though the bar was closed he made sure we were able to get a drink, and in the morning after breakfast, we found a cake in our room! So many of the staff wished my husband a happy birthday too - it was really nice and unexpected. (Breakfast on the rooftop was great too!) Thank you SO much Albert and the team - you made our impression of Podgorica amazing, despite our initial bad experience :)

Hotel convenient in location and perfect for just one night in Podgorica, a city which in itself is not Paris but which still offers a little something to pass the time. Kind at the reception and the structure is objectively very clean but poorly furnished, with a small bathroom and made with little money. I'll just say that the bathroom sink was tiny and had the long kitchen faucet instead of the one it should have had. Considering the costs in Montenegro, it's not even that cheap. Structure set up without too much criterion, with added terraces that create surreal situations such as room windows that give directly onto the hotel entrance and bricked-up doors. Not the best but worth a night. Nice bar manager!

What an amazing hotel. It took me a long time to narrow down which hotel to book for a birthday trip to Podgorica. I decided on Signum Hotel Podgorica and it lived up to my expectations! Even before my arrival, the staff was absolutely willing to do whatever they could to ensure I had a pleasant stay. I requested a room with a balcony and arrived to find I had been given an upgrade to a two room suite with balcony. It was beautifully appointed with wonderful furniture, an amazing color pallet and decor, and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. I loved the walk in shower and the high quality Ritual bath products were a real treat. The hotel did not skip a step on the overall details with room darkening curtains, extra large smart TVs in both the living room and bedroom, expresso machine, well-stocked mini bar, cozy robe and slippers and strong, stable wifi signal. I booked my stay with partial board (breakfast and dinner). Smart move. Not only did I start each day with a great and varied breakfast offering, I looked forward to the unique regional selections offered on the dinner menu. Dinner was some of the most delicious foods and so well prepared and presented. I took advantage of the hotel's steam room and sauna and they were wonderful. Although I didn't use it as much as I planned, Signum Hotel has one of the best fitness centers I have ever seen at a hotel. It is fully equipped with cardio equipment and various strength training machines and weights. The hotel offers free parking and is actually not too far from the center of the city. I walked there and back one day and it only took about 20 minutes each way. Even a taxi to the center is less than 4 euros/each way. If all of the above didn't create an unbelievable hotel experience, the icing on the cake is the professional staff. Everyone from the front desk personnel, housekeeping, and restaurant staff were of the standard expected of a property of this caliber. They were fantastic and made for an enjoyable stay. They even went as far as to present a nice desert cake to me on my birthday. Wonderful property and amazing staff that created a very memorable stay.

Well, I have been a guest at the Aurel Hotel in Podgorica several times now! I must say that this is my first review of the facility but based on all of my experience from before. The Hotel is situated in lovely surroundings near the entrance of Podgorica (coming from Albania) and nearby there is a supermarket which is well supplied. Also, the surroundings are calm and with beautiful houses of the local population. The hotel itself is beautiful, spacious, clean, and modern. The rooms are big and clean equipped with modern and cozy furniture. The baths in the rooms are also practical and modern. The breakfast is simply perfect, while the staff is very kind and polite always looking for new ways to better serve their customers. The spa includes a jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, and warm chairs and it is cozy and nice.

What we liked: About the room and the hotel: Quite a pleasant hotel, which consists of 5 zones: bedroom (the door closes), bathroom, kitchen-hall, corridor and balcony. The room has a capsule coffee machine in the room and the capsules themselves, a kettle (but no tea or sugar) About the interior: The interior is pleasing to the eye. The furniture is all new, modern. There is no tawdry or excessive pathos. The room is spacious, it definitely won’t be cramped. About the view from the eye: The windows overlook the courtyard and we could see the parking lot. It was quite quiet, the courtyard itself was nice and pleasant. About the cleaning: Everything was pretty clean everywhere, from the reception and the room, to the parking lot and the dining room. Cleaning was done in a timely manner: towels and bathroom amenities were updated. All towels are spotless, the bed is sparkling white. Not a single stain was noticed on the carpet About the staff: The staff is friendly, will always come to the rescue and answer all questions About the breakfasts: Pleasant and tasty breakfasts for every taste: fruits, spicy pickled vegetables, vegetables, meat, sausages, bacon, eggs, cheeses, juices, water, coffee, tea and much more About the SPA: Inside the SPA area there are 4 sun loungers and 4 hangers, a sauna and a swimming pool with hydromassage. The sauna is quite small, but pleasant and clean. There is no unpleasant chemical smell, which is a huge plus. A little life hack: the hydromassage areas are located in the pool itself, so feel free to press the silver buttons wherever you find them :) About the gym: The hotel also has a gym, all the equipment is in good condition. What could be improved: – Bottles There is no water, there is no water at all to even drink after a long journey. Only in the hallway there is a cooler, but it doesn’t seem very comfortable to go out every time - The shower has no curtain/door, the angle to the drain is not according to the canons, so get ready for a flood. It’s unpleasant to enter after another person – There is ventilation in the bathroom, but it doesn’t work, so the mirror will sweat 100% – Broken trash can in the bathroom (we fixed it ourselves) – Broken toilet paper holder (there was no screwdriver, they would have fixed it that way) – Few sun loungers in the sauna , so if you are unlucky, like us, you will be stupid in the aisle for a minute and think about what to do next - There are few hooks in the spa for bathrobes, you will be stupid for another 20 seconds how to get out of this situation, while everyone who is in the spa is looking at you - There are no towels in the SPA; you have to take them from your room or not at all. It is strange to use one towel for a clean body after a shower and for drying the body after water with chemicals - the sauna is cold. If the sensor reads 60, then the actual temperature will be 30-45 degrees. The entire spa company stood near the control panel to set it to 110, but were able to warm it up to 73–75. This was the maximum. The husband said that this is due to the fact that the temperature sensor inside the sauna is installed directly above the heater and it (the sensor) constantly sees a temperature higher than in the sauna itself. According to the rules, it should be placed in the farthest corner – The “do not enter” and “cleaning required” buttons are mixed up, a small thing, but somehow strange all the same – The treadmill in the gym did not work

The hotel is located outside of the city but it is a good position. It is relatively new and modern. A taxi from the airport is 12€ fixed price. They were kind enough to upgrade my room as a Diamond Elite member. The room was very spacious. I could not get the required air conditioning temperature I wanted but this was fine as I could open the window. The hotel is quite functional rather than design oriented. It serves the FA Montenegro and has great facilities. A huge swimming pool with jacuzzi then a lovely spa area in the basement with two more jacuzzi, saunas and steam rooms. The restaurant was huge, and we opted for a buffet dinner for €16 and it was very nice. Really enjoyed the food actually. Breakfast was included as I’m a Diamond member and was fine. The staff were all lovely and went above and beyond to take care of us. We were able to keep the room until 1pm so that we could enjoy a tour of Podgorica before coming back then leaving to Tivat. The only real negative about the hotel was that upon waking up there was no hot water. The system I don’t think could cope with all the FA Montenegro taking a shower around the same time. A cold shower isn’t what you expect in a 5 star hotel. Otherwise I’d happily return.
