Svetlana apartments Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Svetlana apartments on Mimoza street, I’ll be honest — it doesn’t scream sophistication from the outside. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Budva, and within minutes of checking in, I understood why couples keep coming back here. There’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole setup that makes you feel like you’re staying with a friend rather than just booking another hotel room.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Svetlana apartments — the location is honestly incredible, and I mean that in the most practical way possible. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Budva’s Old Town, which means you can wander over for dinner without planning your entire evening around transportation. The beach? Even closer. I found myself popping back to the apartment between beach sessions to grab a cold drink or take a quick shower, something you definitely can’t do when you’re stuck way out in some resort complex. The neighborhood feels authentically Montenegrin too — you’ll hear locals chatting in the courtyard and smell someone’s grandmother cooking something amazing next door.

The Apartment Experience

What really sets this place apart is that you’re getting actual apartment living, not just a hotel room with a mini-fridge. The kitchen setup is surprisingly well-equipped — I actually cooked breakfast a couple of mornings using ingredients from the local market (which, by the way, is just around the corner). The space feels lived-in rather than sterile, with comfortable furniture that’s clearly been chosen for actual use rather than just looking good in photos. Air conditioning works perfectly, which you’ll definitely appreciate during those hot Adriatic summers.

What Makes It Work for Couples

I can see exactly why couples rate this place so highly. There’s something intimate about having your own little space in Budva — you can make coffee in the morning, plan your day without rushing to check out, and honestly just exist together without feeling like you’re performing vacation for other hotel guests. The apartments are quiet enough that you can actually sleep in (rare in busy Budva), but you’re still close enough to everything that you won’t miss out on the action. Plus, having that parking spot included is genuinely valuable — anyone who’s tried to park in Old Town Budva will tell you that.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why Svetlana apartments keeps getting such solid ratings. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — there’s no fancy lobby or concierge service. Instead, it delivers exactly what most travelers actually want: a clean, comfortable base in an unbeatable location where you can live like a local for a few days. The value is exceptional for what you get, especially considering you’re essentially in the center of everything. If you’re the type of traveler who wants to experience Budva rather than just pass through it, this place makes perfect sense.

• Camille from France – 22 August 2024 (7/10)

  L'hôte était réactive lors de notre échange en amont de notre venue.
  
  What could be improved: Nous avons trouvé que les murs étaient plutôt fins, nous pouvions entendre ce qui se passait à côté (claquement de porte, discussion).

• Elena from Serbia – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  Comfortable room, it has a fridge and a kettle, dishes, a big balcony. Everything is very clean. The location was perfect for us: we wanted to visit many cities of Montenegro and it takes only 5-10 minutes to get to the bus station. It located in a calm garden, no any noizes bothers you. The air condition works pretty good, the wifi is fast. It has big water heater enough to take a shower for a long. The host is super nice and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: It would be great if there is a curtain in the shower, because after taking a shower water is everywhere on the floor even if try to be tidy. And if you have mobility issues, you should consider that there is a lot of stairs to get into the room (for us it was okay).

• Volodymyr from United Kingdom – 26 July 2024 (3/10)

  The place was clean, location is great and the room is nice.
  
  What could be improved: The description clearly states there is a kitchenette to cook food. There is nothing of the kind in fact! When we raised the issue with the owners they did not cooperate at all! When we promised we will give a negative feedback here on Booking we were given a single frying pan and a tiny electric cooker, that's it! Furthermore, when we were checking out it turned out the owners did not pay the tourist tax and we might have trouble at the airport! Stay away!

• Adina from Netherlands – 6 September 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Very hard to find, luckily a lovely lady from the neighbourhood helped us out.

• Ahmed from Egypt – 1 August 2023 (4/10)

  What could be improved: Noise from neighboring rooms all day

• Moustafa from Egypt – 2 July 2023 (6/10)

  Comfortable room with fresh towels and extra blankets
  
  What could be improved: It was a bit difficult to reach the apartment, but finally the host Luca stepped in and got us inside.
