Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Apartment Sweet Inn, you immediately get that feeling you've stumbled onto something special.
Walking up to Apartment Sweet Inn, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. It’s tucked away on a quiet street in Lapad — honestly, I almost missed it at first because it doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside. The building has this understated Croatian charm that feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s well-appointed place than checking into a typical four-star property. There’s something refreshing about that approach, especially when you’re dealing with Dubrovnik’s sometimes overwhelming tourist scene.
Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Lapad, which means you get to experience Dubrovnik like locals actually do. The peninsula sits about 15 minutes from Old Town (trust me, take the bus rather than walking in summer heat), but you’re right next to some gorgeous beaches that most tourists never discover. Couples seem to really get this setup — I mean, the property scores a 9.9 for location, and I can see why. You can grab morning coffee at neighborhood cafes, then head into the historic center when you’re ready for the crowds and ancient walls.
The rooms here are actually apartments, which changes everything about how you experience the city. You’ll have proper space to spread out, a kitchenette if you want to prep some of those amazing Croatian ingredients from local markets, and — this matters more than you’d think — room to actually unpack and settle in. The design strikes this nice balance between modern comfort and local character. Nothing feels overly fancy or trying too hard, but everything works exactly as it should.
What really sold me on this area was discovering the evening rhythm of Lapad. While Old Town empties out after the day-trippers leave, this neighborhood comes alive with locals heading to waterfront restaurants and families taking evening walks along the promenade. There’s a proper grocery store nearby (you know, the kind where locals shop, not tourist prices), and the beach access is genuinely excellent. I found myself spending mornings by the water here rather than fighting for space at the more famous spots.
That 9.2 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. Apartment Sweet Inn delivers something that’s getting harder to find in Dubrovnik — an authentic base that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or convenience. You’re not paying Old Town prices, but you’re also not stuck somewhere that requires complicated logistics to reach anything interesting. The apartment setup means you can actually live a bit like a local, whether that’s making morning coffee in your own space or storing beach gear between daily adventures. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something rather than just booked something.
Hotels near me in Dubrovnik keep travelers steps from Stradun boutiques, cliffside bars, and ferry terminals to hidden coves.

Great location, we had a wedding in the palace hotel and it was very close by. It had everything we needed including an iron and plenty of space and good shower. The host was soooo helpful!
What could be improved: It was perfect. Would be nice to have a steamer but the iron was good.
Clean, comfortable, efficient!
The location is perfect: Lapad beach, supermarket, pizzeria, and bus stop to the old town are just a few minutes' walk away. The apartment is clean, fully equipped, and has a perfect layout.
What could be improved: I couldn't name anything.
Modern apartment. Bright. Loved the sliver of sea view. Very near the beach and the bus stop into the old town.
What could be improved: Nothing
Located in a quiet area (lapad) with pebble beach closeby. Several good cafes and restaurants, bus 4 in front of it brings you to old town in 10 minutes. Runs every 20mins till midnight. Apartment is excellent: two clean and modern bedrooms, big living room with 55” tv, good wifi (for remote work is great), kitchen and lounge sofa plus big terrace, all rooms with air conditioning. Awesome and relaxing. Owner suggested some good places and he has very competitive prices for excursions nearby.
What could be improved: All was good.
Excellent stay! The apartment was fantastic, with a helpful and friendly staff. Its location in Dubrovnik was perfect, close to stunning areas and convenient bus stops.
A few mins’ walk from a gorgeous beach, with a tiny sliver of sea visible from the balcony. Large, clean and extremely well equipped flat.
What could be improved: I didn’t like being messaged 20-odd times about checking in. My plane was late and it was highly stressful being pressured about getting ti the apartment. Other than that, I was very happy with both the service and the apartment itself
A great location for the beach with easy access to public transport and a supermarket.
Well equipped apartment
The host was very informative of both the area and available trips
What could be improved: Nothing
As pictures beautiful, new, modern. Near Sunset beach, supermarket etc, bus stop outside for port or old town. Host super informative.
What could be improved: View a bit obscured by other buildings but can't have everything- could see sea & some sunset!
Great location. Only a short walk to Sunset Beach, supermarket, cinema, bakery and restaurants. With Uber 5-7 eur to the Old Town.

Good air conditioning.
