Hotel Palata Venezia

This hotel is superbly located within Ulcinj’s Old Town, making it an incredible place to stay. We received an upgrade to room V10, a two-story suite. The suite features two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, a living room, and a terrace with wonderful views. The hotel provides an electric buggy to transport guests and their luggage from the fortress parking lot to the hotel itself. Hotel Palata Venezia is charming, and we really enjoyed our stay there.

We are delighted with the stay, the atmosphere and the kindness of the host. They also have a wonderful museum dedicated to pirates which they showed us with an accompanying story. The food was excellent. We highly recommend. We will be back for sure. Greetings from the Bojanić family!

The hotel is located on the rock upon the small city beach which is a 10 min walk away. The staff is very friendly. We had a delicious dinner there and te breakfast which was nothing special but ok. The rooms are bit old style and need some refurbishment. Strange blankets. No toiletries, no caffe, no water. All is all is ok but lack a lot of amenieties for a 4star hotel.

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.

At first sight this hotel is absolutely stunning with amazing views of the beach sea and town . It has some amazing character and this reflects the stunning views . My friend and I arrived on a Saturday evening, it was late and the taxi driver wasn't sure how to get us to the door of the hotel ..we eventually had to walk up a very steep hill with our cases and found the entrance ourselves. ( we found out later that a golf buggy is available to help with this . The lady who checked us in wasn't the most helpful .infact the whole reception team were not helpful at all .I asked for help as one of our bedroom windows would not open ..no one came to sort this. We asked for directions to the town and were given incorrect information and never with a smile , the young girl was very moody . The restaurant and breakfast staff were amazing and so happy and friendly..breakfast was ok .a little variation would be good . We sat around the pool a lot for the first few days. But one morning we went down and the pool water was green ..we saw staff walking past it and nothing was done .it did not smell good and was most probably a health hazard. This hotel could have a lot to offer..it needs lots of TLC, and a strong, happy and helpful reception staff. Also the sun loungers were falling apart and there was only 4 there to use !! This hotel would have to improve so much for my friend and I to return..until then I won't be returning.
