Hotel Moskva brings a famous café and history to Terazije; Hotel Majestic stands beside Knez Mihailova and Republic Square. We compare atmosphere, facilities and guest feedback.

Where to stay in central Belgrade to explore Terazije and Knez Mihailova on foot?

Central Belgrade is best explored in stages: from Terazije, walk down towards Republic Square, follow Knez Mihailova among shops and cafés and continue to Kalemegdan, where the rivers meet beneath the fortress. Choosing a hotel on this axis makes several visits walkable, though the railway station and outlying neighbourhoods still require transport. Hotel Moskva and Hotel Majestic are only a few streets apart, but offer two different ways to stay in a city that blends monumental avenues with café life.

Hotel Moskva opened in 1908 and remains an architectural landmark on Terazije. It brings together 123 rooms, four meeting rooms, a spa, Tchaikovsky restaurant and Moskva Café-Pastry Shop. The café welcomes visitors for coffee and pastries even if they are not hotel guests; rooms range from economy singles to suites, with differences in outlook and layout. Travellers often praise the façade, breakfast, location and café, while other reviews raise concerns about air conditioning, maintenance or inconsistent service.

Hotel Majestic, opened in 1937, is beside Knez Mihailova and a short walk from Republic Square. Milan Minić’s modernist building has single rooms, suites and a two-bedroom family option, as well as a restaurant that reworks Serbian recipes. Guests highlight the location, staff and breakfast; some, on the other hand, say certain rooms retain dated furniture or fittings and that arrival is not always equally smooth.

From either hotel, walk through the commercial and cultural centre, pause at cafés and continue to the fortress. Moskva looks out onto the movement of Terazije and makes its own café part of the stay; Majestic is closer to the pedestrian street and may better suit families needing two bedrooms. The avenue can bring noise at night: request an inward-facing room if you are sensitive, and remember that the main railway station requires an urban transfer with luggage.

Both hotels are classified as four-star properties. Google showed 4.6/5 from 12,417 reviews for Moskva and 4.4/5 from 1,865 for Majestic, each figure tied to its address. The higher score does not erase differences in scale or the variations guests describe. Choose Moskva for its historic building, spa and Café Moskva; choose Majestic if you prefer to be steps from Knez Mihailova and want to compare several room formats. With either, ask about floor, outlook and breakfast before confirming.

Bottom line

Moskva stands out as a historic hotel with a café and spa on Terazije; Majestic offers a base beside Knez Mihailova and several room categories. Ask about noise, room condition and included services.
