Hotel Alkima

Hubby and I visited Kotor in September for our wedding anniversary. It was our first trip to Kotor and we were so pleased with our choice of hotel. We stayed in an ocean view room on the top floor, which has fabulous views of the Bay. The hotel is spotlessly clean and breakfast was great. But the main thing that makes this hotel special is the absolutely wonderful staff, all of them! They all work so hard to make your experience there the best it can be. They were so welcoming and made us feel at home. The hotel is about a 25 minute scenic walk to the town of Kotor. We personally loved staying out of town as we felt we got to see so much more and got more of s feeling of the place. There are lots of great places to eat around the hotel and along the walk into town, and the staff had some great recommendations. If you have time we highly recommend a trip up the newly built cable car as the views are breathtaking!! The staff at the hotel can book a taxi there and there are taxis there fir the journey back. Also, it is really well worth paying for the 2 hour exclusive use of the rooftop Spa at the hotel , you will not regret it, its such a treat and more fabulous views ! We will definitely be back! Loved it.

Our first time to Monte***** and the staff at Hotel Alkima made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in one of the self catering apar**ents (top floor … amazing view of Bay) It was kept spotlessly clean every day by the wonderful Meca .. who also gave us fantastic local information and was so kind and attentive. Susanna and Goraka on reception were so knowledgeable and efficient. We enjoyed the swimming pool, the clear waters of the bay just a 2 min walk away, lots of fabulous restaurants and the beautiful old town of Kotor. Can thoroughly recommend a boat trip… ask the hotel to organise as they use the best company. We did a private one for our family of four. 200 euros for 3 hours but absolutely worth it. The hotel also has a rooftop spa and beauty rooms. They will organise anything you wish … from whitewater rafting to take away pizza!!

We loved the Alkima hotel from start to finish. I can not describe how wonderful was the service, how estonishing was the view from our room, how tasty was the breakfast and how wonderful was the location In short: if it is availble, book it at once! Do not blink!thank me afterwards 😁

From the moment we arrived until the sad time that we had to leave everyone at this small family run hotel could not have been more friendly or professional. As another reviewer has recently commented, the owner, Marko (or Mark – so sorry if we’ve got the name wrong) and his wife make all of their staff feel part of the family. They made us feel so much at home, to the extent that one evening during our stay whilst they were celebrating their daughter’s birthday, they insisted we share with them some of the food and drink. We felt that that was a mark (sorry about the pun) of true hospitality. Nothing at all, large or small, was too much trouble. We broke a hinge on a bathroom cabinet one evening and Marko arrange for it to be fixed within 30 minutes. All of the staff, receptionists, cleaners, cooks greeted you with a bright, happy, smiling hello every time you saw them. We found the location to be excellent with a great view of Kotor bay. The room was very clean, modern and finished and furnished to a high standard. The location itself turned out to be really good. The hotel is less than 100m from the waterfront, with beach, restaurants, shops etc close at hand. In addition to attending to our every need, Alexander on reception, could also be relied on for restaurant recommendations and bookings. A 30 minute or so walk along the waterfront brought us to the old town with it’s walled fortress, which we read pre-dates Dubrovnik. The garden was an oasis of calm to relax in, the pool was lovely and very clean and the roof-top spa with jacuzzies, sauna and great views was an absolute delight. As it was our first visit to Monte*****, we feel we were lucky in the extreme to have selected the Alkima as the base for our stay. It is the complete opposite of the standard corporate brand name hotel. We would happily return there and without a second thought recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Kotor.

Alkima Hotel is a small cozy hotel right at the centre of all action at the seaside in Dobrota. Location - Fantastic!! 1 minute walk to the beach with the best mountain sea view ever, buzzling with restaurants, bars, grocery store & bus stop! You couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s absolutely fantastic and very peaceful as it’s located in a residential area. It’s also a walking distance to old town. It also has a beautiful garden where you can relax peacefully. Arrival - Lovely lady Alexander greeted me at the door step with a big smile. A great first impression. There was a man seated at the reception, I assumed he was the receptionist. He was very professional, friendly and hé offered assistance whenever I needed it. He was also very polite to his colleague Alexander. I was thinking, what awesome staff!! Check in - Smooth as butter. No problem at all and it was quite fast! This hotel is so immaculate, you can probably lick the floors! The room - Spacious, immaculate and pretty. From outside the hotel looks small but the inside is large and even has a pool side. The house keepers did a fantastic job with daily housekeeping keeping the rooms spotless. The jacuzzi is a highlight! Meals - Absolutely delicious food, you won’t want to eat anywhere. Service - Exceptional. I needed a little help so late at night with printing my bus ticket. There is no business centre so I offered to pay and the male receptionist printed for free. How lovely!! I was surprised at how fast he acted and assisted me with no complains at all. Check out - it was nice and easy. No issues at all. You can get a bus or they can help you get a cab. Plot twist - It turns out that the man who was at the reception, Well yeah that handsome smiling receptionist is actually the hotel owner! I was so shocked how an owner was this attentive even to his staff, treating them like his family. His name was Mark. For an owner to be that involve as the body and soul of the hotel shows his passion for hospitality. He has raised the hotel standards to greater levels as he sets the bar high for himself and his staff and I’m sure everyone who meets him will comprehend why and appreciate his efforts. If you go to this hotel and meet Mark and Alexander, you will be really happy! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your exceptional service Mark and Alexander. For helping me so late and for free when I needed it the most. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. Its ratings are very well justified in every level. Book your stay here, you won’t regret it!
