Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Apartment Royale on Cvijete Zuzoric street, you immediately know you've found something special.
Walking up to Apartment Royale on Cvijete Zuzoric street, you immediately know you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Dubrovnik’s Old Town — I mean, you’re literally steps from the main drag where all the action happens. The building itself has that perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort that you hope for but rarely find in such a prime location. The moment you enter, the attention to detail becomes apparent in every corner.
Honestly, the location score of 9.9 isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s completely accurate. You can roll out of bed and be at the Stradun in about two minutes, which is pretty incredible when you consider how crowded and touristy that area gets. What I really appreciated was being able to duck back to the apartment during the midday heat, then head out again for evening exploring without any hassle. The narrow stone streets around here buzz with energy, but Cvijete Zuzoric itself stays relatively quiet — you get the best of both worlds, really. This balance is something many visitors specifically mention in their reviews.
The room setup works brilliantly for couples, which explains why they rate it so highly for romantic getaways. You’ve got proper space to spread out, unlike those cramped hotel rooms you often get in historic city centers. The kitchen comes in handy too — not that you’ll want to cook much with all the amazing restaurants nearby, but it’s nice having the option for morning coffee or a quick snack. Everything feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together, and the modern amenities blend seamlessly with the old-world architecture.
What struck me most was how effortlessly you can experience authentic Dubrovnik life from here. The morning market vendors set up just around the corner, and you’ll find yourself naturally falling into the local rhythm — grabbing fresh pastries for breakfast, then wandering the city walls before the tour groups arrive. In the evenings, you can hear the gentle hum of conversation from nearby cafés, but it never gets overwhelming. The positioning really lets you feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist passing through.
That 9.1 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it absolutely nails what matters most — location, comfort, and that intangible feeling of being perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Dubrovnik offers. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic atmosphere of the Old Town combined with having a proper retreat to return to. You know what really seals the deal though? Being able to experience one of Croatia’s most beautiful cities without feeling like you’re fighting the crowds every step of the way. The parking options nearby also make arrival and departure seamless.
Dubrovnik’s apartments welcome families with shaded terraces, laundry nooks, and quick access to Banje Beach paddle boards.

Best Location. Right in the middle of the Old Town where restaurants, shops, and groceries abound. The apartment is clean with comfortable beds and warm blankets. The host is very welcoming and sent a representative to meet us and be acquainted with the apartment.
What could be improved: There is still a flight of stairs to hurdle, which quite difficult for carrying heavy luggage.
Apartment is located in the perfect position for exploring old town, a lovely well equipped apartment. Beds were comfortable and clean.
Do get a little noise from the little market that sets up in the square each morning but for me that was not a problem as it’s nice to see how the locals go about their day.
Location is excellent! Staff is super friendly and helpful. We had to catch a very early flight; the staff had arranged a taxi for us at 4 am! Thank you again to them.
The location was perfect!
What could be improved: Nothing, if I have to say something it would be the bathroom may need a little TLC.
Perfect location! It’s a couple of sidestreets off the main street (Stradun). The square below gives the apartment ample light, plus views of pedestrian activity, a church, and the famous Jesuit Staircase. There is a bakery on the floor below the apartment—perfect for fresh breakfast pastries. There are small shops with groceries nearby and restaurants all around, but not directly under the windows, so it’s quiet in the evenings. Well-furnished kitchen and a washing machine met all our needs. Shutters and AC gave us all the cool and quiet we needed for refreshing sleep.
What could be improved: It was all good!
Great location in old town close to shops and restaurants. Due to the location you never had to climb any of the many steps in dubrovnik. High ceilings made the place feel a lot bigger. great view on the square and could people watch from the windows. airconditioned and comfortable stay. good communication and could accommodate us with a crib and checkin slightly sooner.
What could be improved: All was good
The location was amazing! Jesuit stairs are just outside the loungeroom and bedroom windows. The market below and it was fantastic to stay in the old town. This property is in the flat part of town which is important. Our host met us on time and it was great to use the washing facilities as we are away for a while. I will definitely be back to stay at Apartment Royale.
What could be improved: Nothing!
Fantastic apartment in old town close to all the action. Great facilities and comfortable beds. It was great to look out the windows and view all the action. There was some noise heard at night which we loved it added to the atmosphere and didn’t disturb our sleep. Air conditioning was fantastic. We had close access to supermarkets, restaurants, bars, bakeries and all tourist spots. A flight of stairs to get into the apartment were manageable with suitcases.
What could be improved: Nothing we love everything about it it was an experience being in old town
