Anika Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Anika Apartment? It’s tucked right on Zrinsko-frankopanska street, which honestly sounds intimidating to pronounce but is actually one of those perfectly positioned spots that locals use as a shortcut. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Old Town walls, but far enough away that you won’t hear the constant clatter of rolling suitcases on cobblestones at 6 AM.

The building itself has that solid, lived-in feel that a lot of Dubrovnik accommodations try to fake with rustic décor – but this is the real deal. The apartment units are surprisingly spacious for what you’d expect from a 3-star place, and the owners clearly know their stuff when it comes to what travelers actually need. There’s proper counter space in the kitchenette (not just a tiny corner), decent water pressure in the shower, and – this might sound small but trust me – really good blackout curtains. The whole place has this comfortable, unpolished charm that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room.

What really sold me on the location was discovering that tiny café about thirty seconds down the street where locals grab their morning coffee for a fraction of what you’d pay near Stradun. Plus, if you’re planning to explore beyond the old city walls, the bus stops are way more accessible from here than from most places inside the historic center. The walk to the main attractions is actually pleasant – you get to see residential Dubrovnik, with laundry hanging between buildings and old men playing chess in doorways. Parking can be tricky (let’s be honest, it’s tricky everywhere in Dubrovnik), but there are some spots nearby if you’re driving, and the owners are pretty helpful with directions. During summer months it gets busy around dinner time with people cutting through to avoid the main tourist routes, but it’s never overwhelming – more like a gentle reminder that you’re in a living, breathing city rather than a museum.

The 8.1 rating makes total sense to me. It’s not trying to be fancy or Instagram-perfect, but everything works well, it’s clean, and you’re getting genuine value for money in a city where that’s increasingly rare. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra night because the whole experience felt so… normal? In the best possible way. Sometimes you just want a comfortable base where you can make coffee in your pajamas and plan your day without feeling like you’re disrupting some carefully curated hotel aesthetic.

Reviews

• Great hideaway apartment. – Lisa from United Kingdom – 6 September 2024 (9/10)

  Beautiful grounds and location. Boris was really helpful and the whatsapp messaging was brilliant to get things sorted. We had transfers to and from airport all organised by the company and they were best value for money as taxis are expensive.
  The shower in the apartment was amazing – it's more of a wet room but we loved it. It was perfect for our break in Dubrovnik.
  
  What could be improved: Not a complaint but to be mindful if you have mibility issues – Dubrovnik has a lot of steps to the old town. But the sights and the experience is really worth the work out.

• Really nice and quiet place to enjoy the old city of Dubrovnik by foot! – Franck from France – 13 August 2023 (7/10)

  10 minutes by foot of the old center city of Dubrovnik. Very peaceful and calm. The access of the Anika Studio was well indicated.
  
  What could be improved: Be careful of pics on booking.com because there are 2 facilites showed on the page. So Anika appartement is different w/ Anika studio. Toilets and shower together (not enough space). Multiple key looker for the check in. Be careful of parking. We have no choice to pay all along our stay. Really expensive in Dubrovnik. We used Bmove app w/ zone 3.

• Peaceful location and stunning view, near the old town. – Maria from Italy – 18 August 2022 (9/10)

  The terrace and the position
  
  What could be improved: everything was ok

• amazing holiday – Joel from United Kingdom – 28 July 2022 (9/10)

  had everything you need for a week holiday. friendly and helpful hosts. beautiful views and quick to get into old town. fast WiFi.
  
  What could be improved: can’t be helped but the stairs up from the old town are steep and hot in the summer so must be quite able bodied unless you drive

• Great choice to be in a prime location without spending too much. – Federico from Netherlands – 29 June 2025 (8/10)

  Terrace was really nice. Hosts very friendly. Location was great. Very clean.
  
  What could be improved: Boiler hot water wasn't always enough. The mix of toilet and shower wasn't super comfortable.

• Very good – Paolo from Germany – 3 October 2024 (8/10)

  The location close to Dubrovnik old town, the availability of a small well equipped kitchen.
  
  What could be improved: The hot water not sufficient even for one person, the blinds allow sunlight to pass inside.

• Affordable little studio, beware of all the steps to reach it from town though – Misscoco from France – 29 August 2022 (7/10)

  – even though we didn't meet her, the host was very accomodating and helpful as we arrived early and she made sure to message me when the studio was ready, very easy to get the keys and good explainations to get to the place
  – the studio has everything you need
  – the air conditioning is much appreciated !!
  – very useful to have a supermarket close by
  
  What could be improved: – not the host's fault but BE AWARE of all the steps leading to the apartment, it's very difficult to get back from the city center in the summer when it's super hot

• Good – Suzanne from Spain – 26 September 2024 (7/10)

  An ok studio apartment, in a good location near the old town. The bathroom really needs an update though. Lots of stairs to climb to reach it, so being reasonably fit is preferable . The view from the roof terrace was stunning but again, overlooked so I didn't venture up there often.
  
  What could be improved: Surrounded by owner occupied properties so I felt like I was invading their personal space, which left me feeling uncomfortable. It's their home after all and I doubt they like random strangers invading their space.. They were lovely people but I felt awkward.

• Our stay was incredible and we loved the location and view that the property has.The place is lovely – Karolina from Ireland – 19 May 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is cleaned, good size, close to the old town and has an amazing view.

• Sublime – Harry from United Kingdom – 19 July 2022 (10/10)

  Great location with an exceptional view and a friendly host
