Hotel Description
So I stumbled upon Apartment Matic during my last trip to Dubrovnik, and honestly? It’s one of those places that just gets it right without trying too hard. The address says Riječka 13, which might not mean much if you’re not familiar with the area, but it’s actually in this perfect sweet spot – close enough to the Old Town that you can walk there without breaking a sweat, but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that you can actually think straight.
The thing about this place is that it feels like staying at someone’s well-organized cousin’s apartment, you know? Not in a weird way, but in that comfortable “I know where everything is” way. The owner, Matic (yeah, that’s actually his name), has this whole system down to a science. Check-in was smooth – no awkward waiting around in a lobby because, well, there isn’t really a traditional lobby. It’s more like he meets you, shows you around, and suddenly you’re settled. The apartments themselves are clean and functional without being sterile. I mean, you’ve got everything you need: decent Wi-Fi that actually works, a kitchen where you can make more than just instant coffee, and – this is key in Dubrovnik’s summer heat – air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing.
What really sold me on the place was the neighborhood vibe. You’re on this quiet residential street where you’ll hear actual Croatian conversations from the balconies, not just tourist chatter. There’s a small market literally two minutes away where you can grab fresh bread and local cheese without paying Old Town prices. And here’s something I didn’t expect – the parking situation is actually manageable. If you’re driving (which, honestly, you probably shouldn’t in Dubrovnik, but sometimes you end up with a rental car anyway), there are spots nearby, and Matic knows exactly where to direct you. The walk to Stradun takes maybe 15 minutes, and it’s mostly downhill, which is great until you realize you have to walk back up after dinner and wine, but that’s Dubrovnik for you. The 8.8 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be a luxury resort, but it nails all the basics and then some. You get the independence of an apartment with just enough personal touch to feel looked after. Perfect for couples who want their own space or small groups who don’t want to deal with hotel breakfast schedules and key card drama.

What could be improved: Thanks to Mary’s assistance the luggage and the stairs were manageable.Exceptional – Chandana from United Kingdom – 15 July 2024 (10/10)
The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was extremely sweet and accommodating. She waited for us after the regular check-in timings as our flight was delayed and arrived late in the night. The old town was just a bus ride away from the property. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would definitely recommend it.
My daughter said-It’s just like staying at grandma’s! – Irene from United States – 15 July 2024 (10/10)
We felt right at home. The host made sure we had everything we needed and gave helpful directions on which bus to take to Old Town and where to find the bus stop. There’s a little market a few steps away from the property which was super convenient.
What could be improved: Nothing-we would gladly come back and stay again!fully recommended to stay, no issues at all. – Laura from United Kingdom – 2 July 2024 (10/10)

What could be improved: Not foundOur host was very welcoming and it was a lovely apartment – Mark from New Zealand – 11 April 2024 (9/10)
The size and room layout. The kitchen was also well equipped
What could be improved: We did get locked in briefly but this was resolved quite quicklyExceptional – Lara from Ireland – 1 April 2024 (10/10)
Mary is a wonderful host, on hand if needed and invisible if not. The apartment is the attic area of the house, very spacious and just perfect for what we needed. There is a small supermarket next door so very handy for essentials. A short 6 min walk to the bus stop and €2 gets you into town or down to the old city. There is a gorgeous shoreline walking trail just down the road and honestly the location was fab.
What could be improved: Nothing, I couldn't fault anything. There are stairs up to the apartment so anyone with walking issues may find it a little tough but we found it fine.Good price/quality if you’re staying mostly on the beach, tours or the old city. – Merja from Finland – 5 October 2023 (8/10)
Nice and clean apartment, peaceful area and the beach is near. Nice little kitchen if you wish to cook yourself, and there is also many restaurants near.
What could be improved: It was not easy to find to the right door because there were no signs. The hostess wasn’t easy to contact, she didn’t answer the messages.
