If you need a hotel you should choose something in the centre (around the main pedestrian street, Knez Mihailova). Palace Hotel is a good choice, if you want a place with less noise in the early hours. It’s a four star hotel, so the price may be a bit high, but fair.

Hotels such as Moskva and Balkan have a long tradition but are in the noisiest location in the city. Hotel Park and Royal are good, but only if you REALLY want to stay in a cheap hotel, otherwise choose a hostel. Any hostel lining the main pedestrian street is good, in terms of location, but avoid the ones next to the train station as it’s a bad neighbourhood (porn cinemas and sex shops, etc). I found an article in The Independent recommending Star Hostel, so maybe that’s a good place to start. I’ve checked its status and it has an OK rating.

The general advice from locals in Belgrade on eating out is "if you want to eat a proper meal you will need to pay a decent price." Here are some of my recommendations:

Madera on Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, just by Tasmajadan Park (and with a beautiful view overlooking it). Recently renovated, it’s a huge place, so most probably always has tables available. National cuisine and international.

If you want a more intimate atmosphere "A Klub" (national cuisine but the emphasis is on internatonal) is very posh, fancy, and romantic. It’s next to the Slavija Square, at 17 Makenzijeva Street.
