Kerber Graz 1860

Hotel Kerber-Gatz in Old Town Kotor, Montenegro, is a gem — and since it just opened in May, it deserves more recognition. Even before I arrived, two receptionists were in touch, incredibly warm and accommodating, answering all my questions. When I checked in, they greeted me personally, already on top of everything I’d asked. My room was beautiful, with stunning views (even from the bathroom), and the hotel itself, once a private home, is impeccably designed — I had a peek into other rooms, and every one was done to the same high standard. The staircases are lined with fine art, far beyond the generic hotel decor you usually see. Breakfast surprised me: I normally skip hotel breakfasts, but here it felt like joining a lively, well-run home — fresh food, cheerful staff, and while I ate, they quietly tidied my room. Throughout my stay, I had a few odd requests — all handled smoothly, no eye rolls. The bed was wildly comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and even though the hotel is right in the middle of the old town nightlife, the soundproofing was excellent. Little luxuries like the plush robes didn’t go unnoticed. What really blew me away was my departure: I left at dawn, and the cook packed me a to-go lunch, while the night manager personally carried my bags out through the old town gates and loaded them into my taxi. I’ve never felt so genuinely cared for by hotel staff anywhere. If you’re debating where to stay in Kotor — stop. Stay here.

This is the first time I've ever commented on a hotel. At first I was worried that there weren't many comments, but the hotel was newly opened. Even though I live abroad, they responded to every email I sent and arranged a transfer. The hotel is located right in the city center and you don't have to walk to the old town, you're already in the old town. The staff never made me feel like a tourist, I felt like I was visiting their home. I thank each and every one of them. The breakfast was of a very high quality, at the same standard as the restaurants you eat outside. Especially their espresso was perfect. I don't know how to thank you. I hope we see more businesses like yours.
