Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Princ, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (4th floor and above) for better views of the surrounding old town and reduced noise from the street. Rooms on the west side of the hotel (facing the old town) tend to receive more sunlight and have a more pleasant view.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd) as they are closer to the street and may be noisier due to the main road. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance (likely on the ground floor or first floor) may experience more foot traffic and noise.
Best views

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.
