Fontana Hotel & Gastronomy
$100-180/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a modern, spotless base with rare free parking right in the thick of Budva's chaos, and you don't care about having a pool.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Free valet parking (a unicorn in Budva)
- Impeccable cleanliness that guests consistently rave about
- Location that puts you 5 minutes from the Old Town and the beach
Resumen rápido: A polished, functional city hotel that delivers on comfort and convenience but leans on its 'Gastronomy' name a bit harder than the breakfast buffet warrants.
Reseñado por @advisoradventures: I stayed at Fontana Hotel in Budva and was blown away. The marina views from my balcony were incredible, and the seafood dinner downstairs was one of my best meals in Montenegro. Highly recommend for a foodie escape!

💡The outdoor furniture on the balconies is frequently criticized for being stylish but uncomfortable.
💡Wi-Fi speeds can drop significantly in the evenings when everyone is back from the beach.
