The Property — Lazy Hill
Lazy Hill is a straightforward three-star hotel perched above Budva’s old town, with a small pool and a terrace that overlooks the Adriatic. The vibe is no-frills and practical — think laminate floors, a modest breakfast buffet, and staff who flick through phones at reception. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean bed and a view without paying for boutique polish. Standing in the lobby you smell instant coffee and chlorine, and hear the hum of traffic from the coastal road below.
Chronicles of Budva
Budva’s old town is Illyrian in origin, repopulated by the Romans as Butua, and later fortified by the Venetians who left their mark with stone ramparts and a citadel. A 1979 earthquake flattened almost everything behind the walls, but reconstruction faithfully copied the medieval layout and Venetian facades. Today the city lives on cruise-ship day-trippers, clubbing crowds, and Russian real-estate money. Its cultural identity is split between a UNESCO-adjacent historic core and a strip of high-rise apartment blocks and beach bars that run for miles along the coast.
Best Time to Visit
Full Budva guide →Best months
May and September: stable 24–28°C highs, the sea is warm but not crowded, and hotel rates are 30–40% below August peaks.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the absolute peak — Budva’s population swells to ten times its winter size. Prices at Lazy Hill can double, driven by Sea Dance Festival (July) and general beach tourism. Expect gridlocked traffic on the coastal road and every sunbed taken by 9 a.m.
Budget shoulder season
Late September to mid-October: discounts of 40% or more, still 25°C average, and the sea is at its warmest from summer heat. Crowds thin after the first week of October.
Weather & packing
Budva’s coastal microclimate can flip from a blazing 35°C afternoon to a sudden thunderstorm in 20 minutes. Pack a quick-dry cover-up and a travel umbrella at all times, even in high summer.
Live City Briefing — Budva
- The Jadranska magistrala (coastal highway M-2) through Budva is under intermittent lane closures for drainage repairs this summer — expect 30-minute delays getting into town from the south.
- A new direct summer ferry from Bari to Budva’s port launched in June 2026, cutting transfer time from Italy and adding day-trippers to the old town.
- The municipal parking lot near Hotel Splendid has doubled its hourly fee to €2.50; roadside parking is now enforced by wardens until 11 p.m. daily.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lazy Hill, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a higher floor away from the lift and main road — the top two floors offer quieter sleep and less street rumble. A rear-facing room (facing the courtyard or inland side) reduces traffic noise from Budva's busy coastal road.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft and any ground-floor rooms overlooking the street — these pick up lobby chatter, lift dings, and late-night foot traffic. Also avoid rooms directly above the bar/common area if the hotel has one.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing the Adriatic offer sea views, but those on the inland side give a quieter outlook over the town roofs or hills. Balcony rooms (if available) are worth it for fresh air, but avoid corner rooms that get direct sun and heat.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (assuming a 4-floor building). The top floor is best if the lift doesn't run all night, but check if there's a roof terrace above causing footfall.
🔊 Noise notes
Budva is a summer tourist hub — expect moped and car traffic on the main road outside, plus late-night revellers returning from the old town (a 10-minute walk). The hotel's 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing, so earplugs are a good idea if you're a light sleeper. There may also be weekend street market noise within a block.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask reception about free street parking after 6pm — Budva's paid zones can be tricky. 2. Request a cot or extra bedding at booking, as 3-star hotels often have limited stock. Also check if the hotel provides beach towels (common in Budva but not guaranteed).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Budva
💡 Free to enter but donations welcome. Go during daily Mass at 11am (weekdays) for a short peaceful visit – otherwise it can be locked. The treasury costs a euro, skip it unless you're into artefacts.
💡 Walk from the Old Town past the small marina to the raised section by the Hotel Avala – best photo spot of the Old Town walls with the sea. Bring a bottle of water; no public fountains nearby.
💡 Snorkel the rocks at the far right end for small fish and occasional starfish. Bring a mat or towel with padding – the pebbles hurt. Avoid midday in peak season; the sun bounces off the wall and gets intense.
💡 Walk past the first cove – the second one (Mogren II) is quieter and has a small bar with reasonable beer prices. Bring water shoes: the rocks near the water are sharp.
💡 Visit early morning or after 8pm to dodge cruise-ship crowds. Climb the citadel walls for panoramic views of the coast and island of Sveti Stefan – it costs a few euros, but worth it if budget allows.
