Cattaro Royale Apartment

Great location and unique atmosphere, but communication with staff could be improved The apartment is in a great location. It's very unique and atmospheric — one bed is a waterbed and the other is a regular one. Staying there feels like being in ancient times, which was quite a fun and different experience. The apartment is not very bright, but that was actually a plus for us, as it stayed cool even during hot weather. Cleanliness was at a decent level. The shower is in the toilet, and there’s a bathtub in the room which we didn’t use. Check-in was smooth. We had asked about early check-in, but didn’t receive an answer. Fortunately, the previous guests had already left, so we were able to leave our luggage early without any issues. Just make sure to ask well in advance if you plan to leave your bags before official check-in — I believe the hosts would be accommodating. The staff eventually arrived and kindly changed and washed the bed sheets for us.

The only issue happened after we had already checked out. Almost a day later, the host started calling and messaging, saying they couldn’t close the washing machine and blamed us for it. There was a washing machine — we had put a few clothes inside and added some detergent, but then noticed it had a lock on it. We didn’t use it in the end and had to remove our clothes and dry them in the shower area instead. Despite this, the host insisted we had used the machine, which simply wasn’t true — the lock couldn’t be opened without breaking it. I even tried to help by finding instructions in Serbian on how to reset the machine, but the host kept messaging, suggesting we were responsible. Most likely, the machine is just old and a small part broke on its own. All in all, the apartment is very nice and we truly enjoyed our stay — apart from this unfortunate situation at the end.

This property felt like sleeping in a castle! The decor and style of the rooms is incredible, and it is in a very great location.

The second bedroom didn't have a door, which was fine, but it would have been nice to know this, or to have some privacy. It is also on the same street as a very popular bar, which closed at 1am, but was very loud up until that point.

The host was very friendly and answered questions "how to find the appartment" (he sent us driving directions however not all pitstops were clear to us). The place is inside the old town and perfect foe the family of adult people or with grown up kids - just to enjoy the old city. Please note that the appartment is on the 2nd floor (1 stair from the ground).

The place is a bit noisy because one of the most popular pubs is right under the appartment. There is NO parking in the old town and all apartments in the old town are in same condition ' you have to park the car close to the river gate on hourly parking (from 80c to 2e per h), move the luggage, then re-park the car around 15-20 min walking distance in the less occupied part of the city. The appartment is clean in visible places however don't look under the bed ;)

Location was amazing, it’s literally inside of the castle. The flat was also amazing and luxurious. All of the rooms and furnitures gave us the feeling of a palace.

Second room has no door, both room have one common room to pass each other and it’s not soundproof. The wash machine was locked by owner, it’s not usable, no microwave.
