"Unbeatable location (mo stairs to reach the location) and the room was lovely. Staff was helpful when I reached out via WhatsApp regarding dropping bags by. It was very fun having a room facing the main street in old town but it could also be a bit loud late at night. Having the windows shut and the fan on with the air conditioning helped but it is worth noting."
"Excellent place to stay. Location perfect & assistance was great. Very clean & well organized. There are stairs but not too bad & communication with host was regular & easy."
"Excellent location just outside Dubrovnik’s Old Town! The studio was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and the host was wonderful. A great place to stay for exploring Dubrovnik!"

This place was extremely nice. A place I could easily see as my own year around. Ann was there to meet us and walk us through the house functions. It is conveniently located right above old town, walled city entrance - with some stairs as all places in Dubrovnik have. Two nice bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, great views of the old city and ocean. If you have a chance to rent this place, you should not hesitate.

Apartments sweet escape was perfect for what we needed. After a busy and hot day in the City walls, the apartment is truly a “sweet escape.” The host is wonderful, kind, and so very helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable with coffee, tea, and basic cooking supplies included.

The apartment is on top of a harbor in Cavtat, super modern and brand new. View at sunset to die. A short drive to anything. Everything was well appointed and sparkling clean. The apartment is perfect for a family or a couple of people. Large bedrooms and comfortable beds.
Even the towels were new and plush. Host was very communicative, just make sure to coordinate with them to greet you on the main road outside the complex. Josip and his family checked in and provided everything with ease.

Beautiful boutique hotel. No elevator as we were on the 3rd floor. Bags were handled by the staff, which was very helpful.
Make sure your cab leaves you at the Pile gate, not the other gate(tons of steps)

Hidden down a winding alleyway, but still close to the bus station and the port amenities. The land lady was friendly and offered advice on how to access various places nearby. Couldn't figure out how to check in at first, the room wifi had spotty coverage in places and I hit my head on the hallway ceiling multiple times. Still it was homey, with sensible choices for shower gel scents and a big window for letting the breeze in. There was an AC, but I didn't try it with the weather, nice as it...

My favorite hotel of my three week stay! Super professional and accommodating staff (on par with a Four Seasons), very quiet room and hallways, beautiful breakfast (although "in room" because of Covid), a perfect location to see the old town on a quiet street. Luggage transport was not a problem. I will definitely try and stay here again and recommend to all.

WOW!!! I was speechless at this hotel. We stayed for two glorious nights and it was better than the best Marriott I have stayed at. Not only was it only a few years old, but the rooms were huge and the shower was to die for. We went down for breakfast (included in the minimal amount) and I actually asked the receptionist if that spread was the one included in our nightly price. Also, there was a bus stop that took all of 3 minutes to get to the main gate of the old city. It was about 30...

Hotel was gorgeous and very clean. We reserved ocean front balcony and it was worth it to have a view of the ocean. The pool was amazing with lots of chairs and umbrellas. The beach was also nice (bring water shoes as the beach is rocky) with lots of chairs and umbrellas. This hotel is a bit out of the way from all the downtown things (which we liked for the quiet aspect) so food options were more limited, but the food the hotel offered and few restaurants on property were very yummy.

We just returned from a lovely stay at Hotel More. Of course the surroundings are magnificent. But the hotel staff and on-site facilities are what make or break a hotel. Delicious food, beautiful pools with views over the sea. Total relaxation. The staff treated our family with care and kindness each and ever encounter.

I loved the patio with tables and chairs and the terrace views were the best. I thought climbing the stairs was a great workout especially after eating Gelato in Old Town. This was a great base for bicycling to Ciro trail in Bosnia, biking Konavle valley, along the coast and inland along the mountain. Epic Croatia was great bike rental.
Host was very nice and helpful. Kristina kept the room spotless.
