    Came to Bar to participate in athletics competition.The hotel is situated in quiet area not far from the beach and the athletics track. A good choice for breakfast and very friendly staff.

    There were no toiletries and there was a bad smell in the bathroom, I believe its coming from the pipes. The rooms are cleaned every two days, even then the floors werent very clean. They should also add some lamps to the nightstands, the only light is the overhead bright white light. Some lamps would change the ambient for the better

    The pool was very clean and nice. The location is great, about 10mins from the beach. Great aircon and comfortable beds. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was nice. The terrace is awesome too. Breakfast is somewhat bland but you can always find something to eat.

    Walking distance to the beach and centre. Free parking on site, just ask reception and they'll direct you where to park. Breakfast was included and there was a good selection. Rooms were very spacious as was the bathroom. Comfortable bed and good aircon.

    No complains related to the hotel, but we had one inconvenience related to payment. Namely, we paid full amount although we made reservation and used option to pay with wallet. But since hotel management (they were very kind and polite) did not know about "pay with wallet" option they charged our stay regularly. Thus, it remains to resolve this issue with responsible Booking services. Also, we recommended hotel staff to remove this option pay with wallet from their page if they are not able to offer that service.

    We stayed only one night which is not enough to provide more comprehensive view, but what we can say is that the hotel has good location and is easily accessible. It is new, and comfortable. The room is spacious and has a large and beautiful balcony. Outdoor restaurant is very nice.

    No light at the bed. The bed was a bit stiff/hard. Sounds from the hallway were loudly heard in the room; the walls are paper thin. There were no "don't disturb" signs to hang up, causing the cleaning staff to wake us up early. The breakfast was mostly fatty or sugary (unhealthy) items.

    Beautiful view. We could store our bags in the reception. Ac worked excellent and silently through the night.

    The shower did not have hot water 2 of the 3 days. The reception was not operating for many hours of the day and we waited over an hour for someone to assist us.

    Breakfast was simple and hearty

    Only thing that bothered us was that there were construction works everyday.. its okay if you chill at the pool but one day they stayed up working really late.. almost to midnight. They were making a restaurant under our rooms. Until next season it will be finished so it will be amazing.

    Room was brand new, really comfy bed, bathroom was huge and amazing, and the view was nice. Breakfast was everyday the same but lots of choices. Pool was really clean and spacious. Staff was great and friendly! Location was 5-10 min walk to center and to beach.. dependents on how fast you walk! Would stay here again!

    The Pharos Hotel a hidden gem along the sea, surrounded by magnificent mountains of BAR, Montenegro.

    That I had to leave.

    My large room, was bright airy, clean. with very big bathroom and walk in shower (good water pressure) towels and sheets nice bright white, the king bed was very comfortable, my balcony overlooked the gardens the pool. Included in price of this room was a full buffet breakfast served in a beautiful sunshine filled dinning room… or you could take it outside under the trellises…..fresh fruits, fresh pastries, quality choices for breakfast, coffee’s and juices. Also same offering of quality dinning for lunch and dinners for a small fee, which then included wines and beer on tap. There was also a full bar off dinning area as well as expansive garden area with many places to sit and eat or just enjoy the beautiful weather. The new pool was just refreshing and relaxing with drink and food service brought right to you as you lounge comfortably under your umbrella, while enjoying light music, Oh and free WiFi through-out property. IVAN, young man working the bar and food service area as well as the pool each afternoon was so very attentive and happy to offer you whatever you like… remembering just how I liked my expresso. This young man added to the quality of the PHAROS property… I the hope owners realize the value he brings to the guests. Really a very nice …. Hidden gem along the Adriatic Sea, ( a 7-8 minute stroll to the beach).. turn your head away from the sea and there you find the absolute beauty of this area the magnificent mountains of BAR, Montenegro. My heart stops each time I am blessed enough to take in the view of the mountains.

    private parking was in a nearby underground of a building under construction, so you need to offload bags first. it was very noisy at night as they had live singing which you could hear from a few hundred meters (decibels on the high level) but for a one night stopover it was bearable.

    The hotel is walking distance from the main beachfront. However not easy to get to by car.

    Unfriendly staff and hotel not worth the price, no WIFI

    Very unfriendly personal and facilities/service not worth the price, I do not recommend. To give you a feeling for the kind of service you get: - WIFI in the building did not work during our entire 3-day stay but receptionist ignored the question if they could so something about it and said it‘s ‚normal‘ that it does not work^^ - In the room they hang up a list what you must pay for each thing in the room in case you make any spots (e.g. 40€ for a bedsheet) and they say they charge 50€ to you if you take any food into the room —> just ridiculous when considering that the hotel from it‘s side takes no effort at all to serve guests well, the receptionist smoked outside our room so we had all the smoke in our bedroom and many more small things.. - the cleaning lady walked into the room even though I was half naked and told her not to come in (but she understands no English I guess)

    Very unfriendly personal and facilities/service not worth the price, I do not recommend. Room itself was ok but just as in other hotels which cost 1/2 the price, breakfast was all you can eat which is nice (but food rather simple). Pool is very nice.

    The staff at the restourant was really disrespectful. I don't understand how you could hire someone like that. Our room was clean, but the bed was literally broken. The booking site offers one picture of the hotel, but in reality it's a completely another building. I wouldn't recommend it.

    It was pretty clean, the location is nice.
