Pros +

  • Such an amazing place. We had a beautiful apartment on the second floor, overlooking the sea on both sides.The views are mesmerizing. You open the shutters and enjoy the beauty of the blue water and the town and the beach below . The apartment was spotless, hot water plentiful, bed very comfortable. There was a small fridge and a kettle to make tea. Internet worked well. Don’t even hesitate, book this gem and enjoy this very rare opportunity. The old town has such a fascinating history. Kulla is also the easiest hotel to access by the steps leading to the old town. Really 3 minutes up from the road. Easy steps. The staff. Another amazing chapter. Friendly, helpful, accommodating, cheerful, proud to be from Ulcinj. Florina is absolutely delightful. Beautiful people. We really did not want to leave. What an incredible experience. Miss Kulla e Balshajve and Ulcinj already.Oh, and breakfasts. I am still full. They keep brining goodies.
  • Kulla e Balshajve & staff makes the guests feel like royalty! The stunning views and detailed artworks within the ro
  • Unfortunately the hotel restaurant was closed for the winter and we could not have breakfast in the hotel however they reimbursed us financially. Staff were fantastic - very helpful.

Cons -

  • What’s not to like. It was fabulous
  • Not a real dislike, because it's in the nature of the location: parking is available only at the beach and you need to walk uphill to reach the hotel. But the staff at the hotel was helping us both, when checking in and checking out to carry our big luggage from/to our car.
  • We loved everything.

Very helpful, friendly and nice receptionist, gorgous location on the top of a hill in the heart of the old city, free snacks, coffee and soft-drinks at the reception, huge room (we stayed in a suite) with stunning views to the sea. Comfy bed, fast internet, our room was equipped with a kitchen, a big sofa, a dining table plus a separate sleeping room. Huge and spotless bathroom. Very quiet and in short walking distcane to both, the old village and the small harbor/beach-promenade. The lady at the reception even helped us with our luggage, because the next parking spot is below the hotel and you need to walk about 150m uphill to reach it.

Not a real dislike, because it's in the nature of the location: parking is available only at the beach and you need to walk uphill to reach the hotel. But the staff at the hotel was helping us both, when checking in and checking out to carry our big luggage from/to our car.

I will start from the absolutely amazing and beautiful location, when in Ulcinj the old town is the place you want to be, everything is close and the old town is one of the prettiest we’d been to, then the hotel itself is like from some dream, it really makes you feel like you are staying in a castle, the decor perfectly fits the vibe, it is very clean and equipped with all the amenities needed, it has a terrace that will take ur breath away every time, we loved spending time there, looking at the city and the sea, really have no words to describe how beautiful it was. Last thing that made our stay the most enjoyable is the staff, Dženita was there for all questions and enquirers, she helped and provided all that we needed, she is one of the kindest people we meet? we will surely recommend it to all our friends and family and if we ever come back to Ulcinj this will be the place we stay! Also the breakfast was delicious but could be a little fuller with more options, but no complaints.

We loved everything.

Fantastic property with superb accomplished staff at the Reception. They provided me more information than Tourist info about city and the country. They help and assistance with luggage carriage was very good. They treated us like a family. Me and my friends will come again for sure. We do recommend this fantastic property to everyone who like to stay in this beautiful castle with gorgeous staff.

10AntonioPosted on: 9-3-2024

Staff, location, view! It is located in historical part of the town. Property with amazing historical value.

10BariPosted on: 9-3-2024

Friendly staff. Snacks, fruits, candies, free water for all guests which is amazing for refreshment.

Wellcoming, staff, and location

Bed was not so confortable

Mrs Dzenita Bakic will go above and beyond in order to best accommodate your stay. She is kind, reliable and effective, and has been of incredible assistance, also for matters unrelated to the stay.

Breakfast and its service

10DominoPosted on: 8-25-2024

Now.. It can be long. Place is prestige, it is "old town" at the end, isn't it? Beautifull sea view, extra nice and helpful staff.. Ladies on the reception - you will want have them as your sister. If you want it, your sheets could be changed every second day . Rooms are clean, no moulds in the bathroom. Anyway, the hotel staff was the exceptional! Hotel itself - top range in mu opinion. Free snacks, fruits and cold water free to take were the game changer! I would really recommend that hotel to everyone. Free to use umbrella - in case of rain, sun umbrella - of course, in you're going on the beach.Do not forget and use their help with your luggage! Remember, hotel is located on the top of the hill! Stone made, slippery steps can destroy your luggage bag wheels. Anyway, overall, highly recommend!

the hotel maintains the feeling that you are in an old fortress, I liked the retro furniture and the views from the window.

I was hoping for a higher room, but they gave us a room on the first floor. It's probably worth asking before checking in what specific room they're offering you.

10IrisPosted on: 8-4-2024

It was absolutely amazing. The first thing, front desk .They were well trained ,polite and helpful.They made us feel special. The place was very private ,quiet and clean .We are recommending restorant Teuta ??

The breakfast. On two days we ate breakfast we waited 1 hour for preparing 2 eggs .

10DavidPosted on: 7-22-2024

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and good value. Location was beautiful

We were never told that they only take cash. Not a problem if you know before you arrive

10JosefinPosted on: 6-26-2024

The location was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel has prime location in the old town. The rooms had good air conditioning and a lot of space. Clean and very nice. The service was impeccable with the hostess asking us several times if we needed anything else and providing us with everything we needed. The hotel restaurant is situated overlooking the town and sea. Our waiter was quite entertaining and I think the kids learned more about 20th century European history from him than they have in school.

Since the hotel is located at the top of the cliff there are quite a few stairs to climb from the parking to the entrance, but the hotel offers luggage carrying services anytime you need it free of charge so it is no problem.

By sea, walking distance from centre .Restaurant was good and breakfastOld style furniture is nice

10VerimPosted on: 5-16-2024

The view of the small beach, the view of the sea and the staff was really nice, specially the waitress (the receptionist) she was so kind and gentle.

there were very few plugs and some of them did not work

8BurimPosted on: 8-30-2023

The beach, the food, the view from my room.

You have to do a lot of stairs to reach the property. The room wasn't cleaned completely everyday by the staff. The bed wasn't cleaned.

10ZoePosted on: 8-18-2023

Beautiful old building in the UNESCO listed old town . Really spectacular .Amazing staff and a wonderful owner . Lovely accommodation. Own terrace. Amazing restaurant in the hotel with outdoor terrace with views overlooking the sea from the cliff top.

8ArijanaPosted on: 8-14-2023

Bed linen and towels are changed regularly, which is great. There is a huge terrace which is beautiful. It was a terrace from our neighbors who were lovely to share it with us. The view is amazing.About the staff. They are great, the cleaning lady is lovely and helped us with everything we needed. Also, a nice guy helped us with our suitcases when he noticed us coming up. The girl at the reception is also pleasant.

The location is good, but you will struggle if you carry large suitcases because the way to the hotel has many stairs. So be prepared for it.The TV didn't work.A small beach is definitely something you should bypass, that's why there are many smaller, more beautiful beaches on the left and on the right side of the hotel. Roughly, they are 15 to 30 minutes away from the hotel (walking).
