Nothing much...maybe just one night there was a guest partying in the room and making a lot of noise. But the hotel managed the situation in a very quick and efficient way.

Very nice and brand new hotel, the service is excellent. The location is great close to the beach and Budva old town. The personnel working in the reception and restaurant are extremely professional and nice. They provided us with all information we needed during our stay. The Hotel manager is a very professional person, he supported us with an issue we had in one night. All in all I highly recommend the hotel and we will be definitely back ! One recommendation is to provide more choice for the breakfast..after 3 days it kind of gets repetitive.

There was a lot of smoking and the general areas of the hotel smelled of smoke (not the bedroom). The breakfast room had people smoking. As a non smoker, this is why I have not given the rating of 10

Staff very friendly. Location excellent. Food also outstanding. Room fabulous

Absolutely nothing to do with the operational staff, but rather with the designers and / or the construction company. Normally I wouldn't even mention it, but if I don't write anything about it, the operator can't do anything about it. 1. Unfortunately the ventilation of the public areas - where smoking is allowed - was merged with the ventilation for the guest rooms, which is an absolute no go and caused it to sometimes (not permanently!) smell cigarette smoke in my suite (especially the master bathroom). 2. The hot water is not conditioned centrally but via a local hot water boiler and this is too small with an estimated volume of maximal 150 liters. The apartment is suitable even for 5 persons = 30 liter / person. Taking into cosideration that the installed state of the art Axor rainshowers need even 15l / minute, each person can shower for an average of 2 minutes... which is not really great.

In times when 5-star hotels only distinguish themselves from the competition by their location, their design and maybe some facilities, but hardly focus on really good service anymore, the Merit Starlit seems to be from another - good old - time. Honest hospitality is the top priority here and that in all departments, from reception to the accommodation manager services and of course the restaurant, where we were served breakfast by a lady who really knew her trade... I have never experienced such unpretentious hospitality before. "Trivialities" such as the best location, high-quality furnishings, pleasant room sizes etc. are of course also fulfilled. To summarize, the Merit Starlit is definitely the best house in Budva and probably one of the best in Montenegro.

I’ve been living in Montenegro for a few years, and most hotels are similar, so I didn’t expect much when I booked Merit Hotel. However, it exceeded all my expectations! The location is amazing—it’s close to the coast and the old town of Budva, so there are plenty of great places to explore nearby. Parking in Budva is tough, but the concierge handles it for you, which is a huge convenience. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The receptionist greeted us warmly, and the check-in process was quick. While we were waiting for the paperwork, they served us champagne, tea, and sweets—it was such a nice gesture and made us feel right at home. Afterward, the lovely Snezhana showed us to our room and answered all our questions. The service here is exceptional. Every staff member is polite, professional, and speaks excellent English. You can tell they genuinely care about making your stay perfect. The whole team works hard to deliver a top-tier experience, and their efforts are evident in every detail. The hotel even created a WhatsApp group for us with all the information we needed, and responses to any questions were almost instant. It’s such a smart, modern approach! Our room had a panoramic view of the old town and was stunnins, spacious—I felt like I could get lost in it, beautifully designed, and filled with thoughtful details. We even received a complimentary pyramid of sweets and fruits, which made us feel truly welcome. The spa was cozy and relaxing. It’s not very large and doesn’t have a swimming pool, but it was still fantastic. The sauna was great, and the hammam was the best I’ve tried in Montenegro—properly hot and steamy. Our stay at Merit Hotel was amazing. Even though we only stayed for one night, it felt like a proper mini-vacation. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. If I had to choose between one night at Merit or several nights at another hotel, I’d choose Merit without a doubt. I can’t wait to come back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Merit Starlit Hotel and Casino in Budva, and it was a great experience. The hotel boasts luxurious accommodations with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, and the rooms are impeccably designed for comfort and elegance. The staff's service was exceptional, always attentive and eager to assist, making me feel truly valued as a guest. The on-site casino added an exciting touch to my stay, while the spa facilities provided a perfect retreat for relaxation. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the marina and local attractions. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a blend of luxury and entertainment in Montenegro!

the private beach area is a 15-minute boat ride away, but it’s one of the most beautiful beaches around. Highly recommended!

Perfect Stay – Exceeded Expectations! Our 5-night stay here was fantastic! The service was impeccable, and the staff were always warm and helpful, quickly accommodating our special requests. The room was cozy with an enormous, incredibly comfortable bed – the best mattress we’ve ever had in a hotel. Traveling with our 6-month-old was made easy, thanks to the attentive team who made us feel at home instantly. The location was central yet quiet, offering beautiful views, and breakfast was delicious and varied. Special thanks to Jelena, Milena, and Natasha for their outstanding care. Best hotel stay so far – highly recommended!

Perfect location just next to the old city. At check-in we were treated with a glass of champagne and a sweet. Beautifull room overlooking the sea, with a tray full of fruits and sweets on the table. A special team communicates with you via whatsapp (thanks Milena/Snezana) during the whole stay.l You have access to a private beach via a free speed boat transfer - all organized by the hotel. Ahmed from breakfast was incredible.
