Top27

First Impressions

Walking up to Top27, you immediately get the sense that this four-star property takes its location seriously — and honestly, it should. The hotel sits along Topliški Put with views that’ll make you pause mid-conversation, which is exactly what happened when I first arrived. There’s something refreshingly understated about the place that I appreciated right away. It doesn’t try too hard to impress you with flashy lobbies or over-the-top design, but rather lets the setting do most of the talking.

Location & Surroundings

Here’s what you need to know about the location — recent guests consistently rate it 8.0 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re positioned perfectly to explore Budva’s old town without being stuck in the middle of all the tourist chaos. The walk into the historic center takes maybe 10-15 minutes, which means you can actually sleep at night but still grab dinner at those little konobas tucked into the medieval walls. What really sold me though was how couples seem to gravitate toward this place — there’s something about the setting that just works for romantic getaways.

The Practical Stuff

Let me tell you about the parking situation, because if you’re driving in Montenegro (which honestly, you probably should), this matters more than you’d think. Top27 offers free on-site parking, and I mean actually free — not the “complimentary but we’ll charge you for everything else” kind of free. In Budva, where finding a decent parking spot can turn into a 30-minute adventure, this is genuinely valuable. The staff seems to understand that travelers arrive at all hours, and they handle check-ins with the kind of efficiency that suggests they’ve figured out their systems.

The Experience

What strikes me most about staying here is how the hotel manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time. The rooms are well-appointed without being fussy — you know, the kind of place where everything works properly but doesn’t feel like you’re afraid to touch anything. The views from most rooms take in either the Adriatic or the surrounding hills, and honestly, both options have their merits depending on what time of day you’re looking out. I found myself spending more time on the balcony than I’d planned, which is usually a good sign.

Why Guests Love It

That perfect 10 rating isn’t an accident — it comes from the hotel getting the fundamentals right while adding just enough special touches to make your stay memorable. The combination of that prime location, hassle-free parking, and the kind of service that anticipates what you need creates something that works particularly well for couples looking to explore Montenegro’s coast. You’re close enough to Budva’s nightlife and restaurants when you want them, but far enough away to actually relax when you don’t. It’s the sort of place that makes you want to extend your stay by a day or two, which — let’s be honest — is exactly what you want from a four-star hotel.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Budva at least two months ahead for major events like Sea Dance Festival, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near the beach.
