Reviews

  • Bailey from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (8/10)

    It's location is amazing. Right in centre of old city.

    What could be improved: The advert is correctly written but felt the pictures are misleading!! You need to check exactly what you are booking!
    We were expecting some cooking facilities.

  • Jennifer from United States – 30 April 2025 (8/10)

    The location is absolutely perfect. Not up a million stairs, close to the Pile Bridge and all the shops.

    What could be improved: It was not very stocked. If I wanted to actually cook something, there wasn’t enough equipment to do so. There was a towel warmer rack on the bathroom wall to hang clothes to dry, but I wish there was a proper drying rack, as that towel warmer location was not ideal and it’s not the intended purpose. Even though the location was amazing, it was too close to the restaurants and quite loud late into the evening, making it impossible to open windows while sleeping. But that was not a deal breaker. The pillows were all memory foam and too hard, I wished there was softer and thinner pillows. Ended up using the small decorative pillows from the sofa.

  • Sarah from Ireland – 23 October 2024 (7/10)

    The location is everything. You are smack bang in the middle of the Old Town. It's a great base for exploring and also loads of day trips and excursions begin just outside Pile Gate which you are literally 5 minutes away from. The room has air conditioning and a clothes horse. It's a comfortable basic space but it did the job for a 3 night get away. It's great to explore the old town and be able to go back to rest or use the bathroom.

    What could be improved: The 'city view' was facing a wall.

  • Kathryn from United Kingdom – 11 September 2024 (9/10)

    Location was perfect for us. The apartment had everything you would need. It was very clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

    What could be improved: Nothing – it was exactly what we required.

  • Charlotte from United Kingdom – 29 April 2024 (8/10)

    The location was amazing!
    Jelena was such a helpful host. Nothing was too much trouble, absolutely fantastic.
    Bed was very comfortable, and the room had everything you could need.

    What could be improved: The steps to the room are steep.
    The room and bathroom are a little dated.
    The noise from the neighbours on one occasion was really bad, and we struggled to sleep, but there was no noise from outside or the restaurant.

  • Naniho from United States – 15 July 2023 (8/10)

    The location is perfect! The room had plenty of storage space for luggage. Very comfortable!

    What could be improved: I thought I was renting the apartment. There was no option to select the Room Joy which I received. The other renters in the apartment were loud three nights in a row and did not abide by the quiet hours. Neighbors did complain about the noise.

  • Ciara from Ireland – 4 September 2022 (9/10)

    location is perfect its right around the corner from the main strip and the bus and ferry station were only 10 minute walk. lovely restaurants and wine bar downstairs

    What could be improved: no air conditioning in the bedroom

  • Rachel from Monaco – 1 July 2022 (9/10)

    Perfectly located in the center of the Dubrovnik old town. Up 2 flights of stairs and you will find the modern renovated apartment, clean with all amenities. Air conditioning was highly appreciated during our summer stay. the Host very reactive, friendly and helpful. they even had netflix!! we would come back again!

  • Paul from United Kingdom – 10 March 2025 (9/10)

    What could be improved: N/A

  • Mayura from United Kingdom – 22 August 2024 (8/10)

    Great location, friendly hosts!

    What could be improved: A bit small but I can understand. It was right in the center of the old town .
