    Local & comfy accommodation close to the bus station

    For young people, the furniture in the room can feel a bit outdated. Also, there was a kettle, but a couple of tea bags or instant coffee would have been great. The room floor was a bit dusty.

    We stayed at Ivona´s place just for 1 night before our flight back from Dubrovnik. The apartment is further from the city, but it´s a short walk to the bus station from which the shuttle bus leaves, which was exactly what we needed. It was a very genuine accommodation since the room is in a house where the host lives. The lady was very accommodating and she shared with us also tips on public transport. The size of the room and its facilities met our expectations, beds were comfy and we enjoyed our stay.

    This was lovely, clean and comfortable. It's really close to the bus station and ferry terminal which was perfect for us. They were also able to arrange early check in so we could leave our bags on arrival. Its a quiet area away from the old town but easy to reach the sights by bus, taxi or even walking.

    It's a bit far from the old town, though the bus stop is just down the street.

    The bedroom and bathroom are modern. Air conditioning in the room works great. Plenty of hot water in the shower. The balcony door has shutters and curtains, so it's completely dark, great if you want to sleep in.

    The walls and doors seem to be very thin, meaning it was nosier than expected. However, having a set of earplugs helped.

    Perfect location and Ana is a marvellous host. We felt very at home during our stay. As well as that, she organised our transfer to the airport which is a huge plus.

    We had a room next to the bathroom, the boiler and refrigerator in our room made a bit of noise. Also some noise coming from other guests in the nearby room. OK for a short stay, but wouldn't advice it for more then 2 nights.

    We used this location for our last night in Dubrovnik (coming from Montenegro). Relatively close to the bus station with airport shuttle to Dubrovnik Airport. +/- 15 min. walk. Friendly host.

    The way host treated us at the morning and forcing us to leave even if we didnt exceed our time to leave. I did not like the location and it was really hard to find it.

    It was clean and peaceful to sleep beacuse it was on the edge of the city

    It’s uphill, so if your car is low or you’re getting back to the property drunk and/or tired, it can be a challenge. There’s also no stove or a way to cook or fry your food, although it is just a room after all.

    Had a parking lot which is otherwise impossible to find in Dubrovnik. The garden was really nice and the view was decent. Additionally, everything was super clean (including the shared bathroom) and comfortable. We had a bunch of spare towels and sheets in our room too.

    Conveniently located near the historic old town, with a quick 5-minute bus ride or a pleasant walk, and in close proximity to the bus terminal and the port for boat excursions. The host was exceptionally welcoming, offering flexible check-in arrangements and maintaining excellent communication throughout the stay. The room had a good size with a balcony that offered breathtaking views, and the entire space was impeccably clean.

    The walk up to the guesthouse from the main street where the buses run is rather steep although not excessively long. This may be a concern for older guests dragging luggage up in the midday sun.

    We liked that Ana showed receptivity, flexibility and a good service orientation when we asked for services not strictly included in the contract. She allowed us to store our luggage with her for a few extra hours. When we discovered that we had left some items in the closet, she mailed them to us quickly (albeit for an extra fee, which we considered reasonable). The room was also abundantly stocked with tourist information and non-standard accessories that can be useful to those away from home. The guesthouse location is very conveniently close to the main bus station, the cruise port, and to bus lines running to the historic center.

    I am not a picky person who requires a lot. But this accomodation was REALLY disappointing in my whole life travel experience. 1. There is no proper blanket, just a sheet cover with a towel. Are you kidding me... 2. The host locked her kitchen and told me no kitchenware is allowed to use as its not belonged to her. She asked me to get drinking water from the toilet. 3. I asked for coffee in the morning, well she made but full of grinded coffee bean. And she gave me stale milk which made the coffee like yogurt. She even asked for 2 EURO for it and said I should have asked before...wth 4. I dont want to make more comments on the slope and terrace, compared to the awful stay all the others is bearable. Anyways, I can understand Dubrovnik in August is full, but considering the 100EURO paid for this room is ABSOLUTELY not worthy the price. Better stay in hostel or pay 50EURO more for a proper room. And to the hostlady: People should have some basic conscience, dont take your customers as idiots.

    The host was able to communicate in English and respond quickly

    No issues but be prepared for walking up the hill in summer heat, which was great for our fitness
