Hotel Marija is the simple, good-value choice for staying inside Kotor’s walls. It is a small hotel in a historic stone building in the Old Town, within the UNESCO-protected area, and the National Tourist Organisation of Montenegro lists it as suited to families and couples. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable rather than stylish, with Wi-Fi, and the reward is the location: the squares, the cathedral, the walls entrance and the waterfront are all a few minutes’ walk away. For travellers who plan to spend their days climbing the fortress, taking boats and making day trips, it gives the Old Town experience at a lower price than the boutique palaces.
Living in it: step out early to have the lanes to yourself, and come back after dinner without needing a taxi. Buses to Perast and Budva leave from just outside the walls.
Trade-offs: rooms are modest and some are small, there is no parking inside the walls and Old Town noise can carry on summer nights. Book early for the high season, when good-value rooms inside the walls go quickly.
