Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name “Basilica Apartments,” I was expecting something either really religious or kind of stuffy. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way possible. It’s one of those 3-star spots that punches way above its weight, and honestly, that 9.2 rating makes total sense once you spend a night or two here.

The thing that got me right away was how the staff just… gets it. You know how some places feel like they’re going through the motions? Not here. Check-in was smooth – no weird upselling tactics or making you feel like you’re bothering them. The apartments themselves have this lived-in quality that I mean in a good way. They’re not trying to be some Instagram-perfect space, but everything works properly and there’s actual character to the rooms. The kitchenettes are legit functional too, which is rare – I actually cooked breakfast a couple times instead of just using the mini-fridge for leftover takeout.

What really sealed it for me was the little details that show someone’s actually paying attention. The Wi-Fi doesn’t mysteriously cut out every few hours (you’d be amazed how many places mess this up), the water pressure is solid, and the beds are comfortable without being so soft you feel like you’re sinking into quicksand. I stayed during what seemed like a pretty busy period, but the noise levels were totally reasonable – you get the sense that the walls aren’t paper-thin like some apartment-style places. The cleaning staff clearly takes pride in their work too, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re settling in for more than just a quick overnight stay. There’s something about having a proper base where you can spread out a bit, maybe do some laundry, that changes the whole travel experience. It feels more like staying somewhere rather than just crashing for a few hours between sightseeing marathons. The location worked out perfectly for what I needed, though I’d definitely recommend checking out the area beforehand to make sure it fits your plans – it’s not necessarily walking distance to everything, but that also means you’re not dealing with tourist chaos right outside your window.

Reviews

  • Ilya from Russia – 6 April 2025 (10/10)

    This is amazing! Before arrival I cannot even imagine how cool this apartment is!! 2 bedrooms + living room + kitchen = a lot of space. There is even a washing machine available to use.

    And this place is right in front of an ancient citadel. You can explore the Old City and come back home any minute. Super comfortable!

  • Amina from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 6 October 2024 (10/10)

    The owner helped us find the free parking.
    Property is in old town, right across Citadela.

  • Karen from Australia – 24 September 2024 (10/10)

    Wonderful hosts, we felt so welcome, Nikola and Nebojsa were so helpful and kind. Amazing location, the view from the lounge was fabulous. It was compact but comfortable and had everything; washing machine, clothes lines, TV in every room (if you’re into that), lounge, dining table, kitchen. Very safe and secure, easy self check in. Perfect, we couldnt have asked for a better place or better hosts.

    What could be improved: Only that we couldnt stay longer!

  • Joao from Portugal – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

    Excellent location in Budva old town, close to the basilica and the citadel. Nice view from the living room. Spacious apartment.

    What could be improved: I was never capable to connect to the WiFi.

  • Sema from Turkey – 5 September 2024 (8/10)

    Location, very clean. the owner was nice, welcomed us and took care of every question we had

    What could be improved: There's nothing I didn't like, only the hot water was unbalanced. Maybe I could find places with more character for this price.

  • Wallman from Sweden – 31 August 2024 (9/10)

    Location and view, small but really cute and nice interior!

    What could be improved: The shower was a bit cold, but other than that it was comfy and worth the price

  • Fernanda from Canada – 16 June 2024 (9/10)

    I stayed for a week with my husband. The location is perfect. Even is a sofa bad is very comfy and they have all things needed for the kitchen. It’s very small, but the location make it worth it.

    What could be improved: Everything was good, just some hints to improve even better our stay.
    – would be nice to have a trash on the bathroom for woman’s things.
    – The blanket could be bigger since it is for two people.

    Nothing major. 🙌🏽

  • Tina from Australia – 21 May 2024 (10/10)

    We loved everything about this place, the location was amazing right in the old town. The owners were wonderful. It was a perfect place for 7 days and would book again.

    What could be improved: Nothing we didn't like
