Hotel Description
Look, I’ll be straight with you about Apartments Meri & Karla – this place punches way above its weight for a 3-star spot. When I first walked down Ulica Iva Dulčića, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the address alone, but you know what? Sometimes the best finds are tucked away on these quieter residential streets.
The thing that got me right away was how… authentic it feels. I mean, you’re not staying in some sterile hotel complex – you’re actually in a neighborhood where locals live. The building itself has that solid Croatian stone construction you see all over Dubrovnik, and the apartments have this lived-in comfort that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than just passing through. The owners, Meri and Karla (yeah, they’re real people, not just names on a sign), clearly put thought into the details. My apartment had this great little kitchen setup – not fancy, but everything you’d actually need if you wanted to grab some fresh fish from the morning market and cook it up. The bathroom was properly renovated too, which honestly can be hit-or-miss in older Dubrovnik buildings.
What really sold me on the location was the walk into Old Town. It’s about 10-15 minutes on foot, but here’s the thing – you’re walking through actual residential areas, not tourist traps. You pass by local cafes where people are having their morning coffee, little grocery stores, that sort of thing. And when you’ve spent a long day fighting crowds at the city walls or getting elbowed by cruise ship tourists on Stradun, coming back to this quieter part of town feels like a genuine relief. Plus, parking – if you’re driving – is actually manageable in this area, which anyone who’s tried to park near the Old Town will tell you is basically a miracle. The street can get a bit lively in the evenings when locals are out socializing, but it’s not obnoxious party noise, more like the comfortable hum of a neighborhood coming alive. I actually found it kind of charming after spending time in more touristy areas where everything shuts down after dinner.
The 8.9 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed there. It’s not trying to be something it’s not – no marble lobbies or pretentious amenities – but what it does, it does really well. The beds are comfortable, the Wi-Fi actually works, and there’s this genuine warmth to the whole operation that you just can’t fake. I’d definitely go back, especially if I was planning a longer stay in Dubrovnik where I wanted to feel more connected to the actual city rather than just passing through the tourist highlights.

Reviews
Short but comfortable stay – Patricia from Portugal – 30 June 2025 (10/10)
Very spacey and comfortable living room, the kitchen had all we could need, as well as the bathroom. The rooms were comfortable, the only thing needed as a Ac in the smallest room that got hotter than true double room. The parking space is important as all parks are paid in the city.
What could be improved: NothingExceptional – Demetriana from Cyprus – 25 June 2025 (10/10)
Everything was great! 200m from the bus station.
What could be improved: It would have been even better if there was A/C in the bedroom for the hot summer days.Beautiful views! Very comfortable apartment – Shan from Australia – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

Superb – Ian from Australia – 23 October 2024 (9/10)

We had great time and been able to relax just like at home. – Marcel from Iceland – 10 October 2024 (9/10)
Very spacious apartment with tarrace with bay view. Fully equipped kitchen with nesspresso machine. Super clean, nice bathroom with shampoos etc. TV with Netflix and Disney+. We felt like home.

It was clean and well furnished, amazing view on a bridge from the balcony
What could be improved: We were unable to connect to the Wi-Fi, and the water in the shower was cold on the last day of our stay.Great option to stay on when visiting Dubrovnik. – Lucas from Portugal – 26 July 2024 (10/10)
The apartment was really cozy and spacious, it was clean and the host was always helpful and proactive to make sure we checked in without worries.
Even though we were renting a car, there is a bus stop just next to the apartment which can take you to the Old Town.
Also had a supermarket nearby which was great every morning to get thing for breakfast.
The area was fairly quiet and calm
Beds were confortable and the living room very cozy. .
What could be improved: Small thing but would have been nice if the kitchen had something to leave the dishes to dry on.Superb – Ikaros from Greece – 25 June 2024 (9/10)
Very beautiful,big and clean room.It's perfect for families.
