Hotel Description
You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Apartment Merivo on Zlatni potok – honestly, the street name sounds way fancier than the actual road, which is basically this quiet residential stretch in Ploče that most tourists never find. But that’s exactly what makes this place work so well. While everyone else is cramming into Old Town hotels and paying ridiculous prices, you’re about a 15-minute walk from all the action but actually getting some sleep at night.
The apartment itself is pretty straightforward – clean, functional, nothing too fancy but everything you actually need. The owner, Marko, met me at check-in and I could tell right away he’s one of those locals who genuinely cares about his place. He walked me through everything, showed me how the AC works (crucial in summer, trust me), and then casually mentioned the best bakery for morning coffee – it’s this little spot called Pekara Kod Marka about three blocks down that I never would’ve found otherwise. The apartment’s got that lived-in feel where you can tell someone actually thought about what travelers need – like, there’s a proper drying rack for beach stuff, and the kitchen has real plates, not those flimsy tourist rental dishes. Small things, but they matter when you’re staying more than a couple nights.
What really sold me on this place though is the location situation. Ploče gets overlooked because it’s not technically “historic Dubrovnik,” but honestly? That’s perfect. You’re far enough from the cruise ship chaos that you can walk to a normal grocery store (there’s a Konzum right around the corner), grab dinner without tourist markup, and actually hear yourself think. But when you do want to hit the walls or take that obligatory Game of Thrones photo, it’s literally a pleasant stroll along the harbor. I mean, I did this walk twice daily and never got tired of it – you pass by where the locals actually live, see laundry hanging between buildings, smell whatever someone’s cooking for lunch. The real Dubrovnik, you know? Plus, if you’re planning any day trips to the islands, you’re actually closer to the ferry terminals than most of the Old Town hotels. Parking’s not a nightmare either, which if you’ve ever tried to drive in Dubrovnik proper, you’ll appreciate.
The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you stay here – it’s not trying to be some luxury experience, but it delivers exactly what it promises and then some. Marko clearly runs a tight ship, everything’s maintained well, and the value is honestly unbeatable for what you get. I’d definitely book here again, especially if I was doing one of those longer stays where you want to feel less like a tourist and more like you’re actually living somewhere for a while.

Position View View Position – Leith from Australia – 21 June 2024 (9/10)
Position, view, position. It was breathtaking waking up and seeing private yachts moored in the clear blue water. The walk into the old town square took about 20 mins. Bus 82's stop is very close & will take you there also. The apartment had everything for your stay. Communication was excellent.
What could be improved: n/aSpectacular View – Jennyfour from Australia – 29 August 2023 (10/10)
The view was absolutely spectacular from apartment. The apartment was clean, well equipped and owners were very helpful. Bus stop was close by and convenient way to get into Old Town when you didnt feel like the walk home.
What could be improved: The stairs……..so many stairs🩵 but this is Dubrovnik! The stairmaster of cities😂 209 stairs down to the walkway to Old Town & 53 from street to apartment door.Big cozy apartment 15 minutes walk from the Old Town – Хмельницкая from Netherlands – 10 August 2023 (10/10)
The appartment has everything what you really need. Very comfortable huge bed. Good view from balcony. Nice hostess. Perfect location – 15 minutes from Old town by walk.
What could be improved: Difficulty with parking – very narrow street with lots of cars. The second room has no window. Everything else is great!Exceptional – Tashi from Switzerland – 26 July 2023 (10/10)
The view from corridor was amazing 🤩
What could be improved: NothingPostcard view of Dubrovnik – Romana from Netherlands – 26 May 2023 (10/10)
Amazing view to the sea and old town, could spend hours in the window/balcony just watching outside. Apartment itself had all the facilities needed for our stay and parking in the street was not difficult to find. We parked the car and only used Uber as parking costs in Dubrovnik at out of the world (10 euro/hour!)
What could be improved: Second bedroom doesn’t have a window but is ok for a small kid just to sleep.Super appartement vue spendide – Marjorie from France – 7 April 2024 (9/10)
Très bonne situation géographique sur les hauteurs de Dubrovnik avec vue sur la baie (15 minutes à pied de la vieille ville et des points de visites) Hôte à l écoute avec de très bonnes explications, appartement agréable, propre
Un superbe séjour 😊 – Mathieu from France – 1 October 2023 (9/10)
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, l'appartement était propre, la vue est magnifique. Les hôtes sont aux petits soins et proposent en fonction des disponibilités de faire votre transfert depuis l'aéroport. De nombreux dépliants sur les excursions possibles sont proposés.
L'appartement est effectivement avec quelques marches pour y arriver mais rien d'insurmontable. La vieille ville n'est pas loin, mais comme partout dans Dubrovnik il faut grimper.
Il est possible de se garer dans la rue qui est gratuite, mais il vaut mieux avoir une petite voiture, nous avions une smart, parfait pour se garer partout !!
Le lit était confortable, la salle de bain propre avec une machine à laver, tout était au top !
What could be improved: Il manque quelques ustensiles dans la cuisine (par exemple une passoire)Superb – Veronika from Czech Republic – 14 August 2023 (9/10)
Apartmán čistý, vyhovující, klimatizace.
Kuchyň hůř vybavená nádobím, pouze opravdu základní.
Komunikace s majitelkou bez problémů.
What could be improved: Dle mého by byla lokalita problematická pro rodiny s malými dětmi nebo starší turisty. Byť blízko k historickému centru i pláži a nádherný výhled, denně stovky schodů…Komu nevadí, super klid a vše v dosahu.Familie van 4 Dubrovnik – Ramongrep from Netherlands – 2 August 2023 (10/10)
Was gewoon perfect, 15 min lopen naar de historische binnenstad, uitzicht was zo mooi , aico werk perfect voor de hele appartement, super netjes en schoon, eigenaren super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
What could be improved: Niets ,
Voor Dubrovnik, dames geen hakken, en voorbereiden om veel te lopen en veel trappen, maar is de moeite waard ❤️Superb – Solmaz from United Kingdom – 23 August 2024 (9/10)
