I really liked the location, convenient to everything like Idea market and walking distance to the old town and also around 5mins walk only from the bus station. Has a great view every morning from the outside bench while sipping my coffee. The staffs are warm and very welcoming, upon check in they give orientation about the city, easiest way to go there, provides maps, answer questions and also gives great recommendations! The property is clean and maintained most of the time and available when needed. The lounge is cozy too. Will definitely be back and comes highly recommended.

Just the bed in 4dorm female dormitory mattress is way too soft for me. It’s quite difficult to move.

The location was ideal. They have a Mexican receptionist called Alan with incredible local knowledge and even speaks some Montenegrin. Nina was also very helpful as she was able to guide me on beaches to visit. They’re a well connected hostel with plenty of discounts on offer for various things like cable cart tickets and boat trips. It’s also right next to the best grill house in Montenegro (maybe even top 10 in the Balkans).

If I really had to be picky I’d encourage them to vet the hygiene levels among some of the guests as one person can easily affect the experience of the whole dorm eg bad odour from shoes and swimming trunks. But this is a minor detail in the scheme of things as the holiday was amazing.

The staff is the biggest asset of Pupa. They are knowledgeable and genuinely nice, patient, welcoming and helpful. The place is immaculately clean and well laid out. The kitchens well appointed. The common spaces are welcoming to all. And if you have the chance, try the BBQ place nearby - you won't be disappointed!

One small issue - for a place that has signs over the public sinks in their kitchens as to how to wash your hands, there is no hand soap to wash your hands. We all used the dish soap. But surely hand soap would have been cheaper? But this is such a small issue - I have already booked my return stay. 🤩

From arrival the hostel was easy to find, located right down the street from the bus station, across the roundabout and down a lane to the waterfront, turn right and there's the door. It's warm. clean, comfortable and has two well equipped kitchens, nice big bathrooms, cosy dorms and a nice sitting room with TV in the reception area. My dorm was on the ground floor, an added bonus. Staff were helpful and lovely. Under floor heating in the bathroom is a nice touch. There's a supermarket and cafe around the corner and out front is the most superb view of the harbour area and fortress running up the mountain. Old City is close too.

There was no drying rack. It rained most days I was there and somewhere to dry wet or washed clothes and even shoes, something to dry hands in the bathroom and an extra blanket in the winter would all be helpful. A guy in my room on the last night which I understood and booked as a girl's only dorm.

- Kristina is amazing! So friendly and welcoming, thorough explanation of what to do and how to get around. When I came back the second time she was just as welcoming and remembered everything about my trip. She printed bus tickets out for me after changing my whole route. - Laundry service is cheap and able to dry outside. - Nice welcoming pack with sheet and towel and key for locker. - Location is great: close to bus station, supermarket and old town.

- The less said about the two other female members of staff, the better, as otherwise I’d have to change my review rating. What I will say is that they were visibly rude to other travellers, would get agitated when travellers couldn’t understand what they were saying due to language barrier and nearly caused me to miss my flight. They led me to believe a taxi was on its way, was told 10 mins later taxis were unavailable and only suggestion was to get a bus at the time I had said my flight was leaving. No attempts to help me whatsoever and didn’t seem to care at the possibility. Stressful end to what was an amazing holiday! However, dismissing these two - the hostel was amazing and did not deter me from giving a mainly positive review.

The hostel offers stunning views of Kotor. Everyone who works there is very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The beds have curtains that offer a good amount of privacy. The bathroom and kitchen facilities are very good.

Nothing

A really great hostel at such great value. The location is perfect, very easy walking distance to all attractions, the hostel itself has good facilities and is very clean. We both thought the beds were also very comfy. The staff were what made this hostel so great! They were friendly and approachable as well as very knowledgeable on what to do, where to eat and the logistics of getting around the city. When we arrived during check in they gave us a full run down of the city (which is helpful if you’re a little shy and don’t want to ask). I felt the recommendations they gave heightened our experience in Kotor so thank you!!

Everything about this location was PRIME! Prime location… minutes from restaurants, grocery stores, bus station, activity meeting spots, Old Town Kotor. The hostel. PRIME! Clean, smelled good, lots of lights, windows in the bunk room, clean beds, clean bathrooms, clean kitchen area, clean common area. Towels were included in the price! Staff gave recommendations on places to eat, activities to experience, and directions! Price was great! Check in was great! Staff was great! I loved how my bed had its own privacy with curtains on all four sides !

I have nothing negative to say.

The location was absolutely perfect for any traveler! This was my favorite hostel I’ve stayed at, mainly because the staff made all the guests feel welcome from the first second! They explain the city very well and even give you a map. The hostel itself is very clean for being a hostel, the bathrooms and kitchen were always spotless (the staff does a great job at maintaining this). This hostel gives you everything you need … comfy bed, towel, warm showers, clean facilities, and kindness. They were also really nice about letting me leave my bag in the hostel after I checked-out and are just super welcoming people overall. Basically, I recommend everyone to stay here and have a little piece of home in Kotor! Dislike: nothing!!!

Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions about the area. The 4 bed dorm was tidy and the air conditioning worked well. The privacy curtains are great. The kitchen was useful for basic cooking (e.g. making soup or cutting up vegetables). It wasn't an incredibly social hostel with events happening so if you like to do your own thing and have a quiet stay this is a great place.

WiFi didn't work well in the room. Having to make your bed upon arrival and take off the bedding before you leave can be challenging or disruptive depending the (early or late) time you check in / out. Hand towels in the washroom would be great!
