Each room has been thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable haven after days spent navigating Dubrovnik’s historic streets or exploring the stunning Dalmatian coastline. The hotel’s 3-star classification belies the premium experience it delivers, as evidenced by its outstanding guest satisfaction rating of 8.8.

Reviews

  • Daniel from Australia – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

    Great location, clean and host was lovely.

    What could be improved: Bathroom was down the hall, didn't have to share it but still an inconvenience. Restaurant bit noise next door but was generally finished by 10.

  • Andre from United States – 2 October 2024 (9/10)

    Very comfortable and clean. The owner is very kind and helpful.

  • Jeff from United Kingdom – 18 August 2024 (9/10)

    Good value, old style/unpretentious charm, quiet and comfortable. Spacious and airy.
    Our bathroom was along the hall, but that wasn't an issue.
    Lovely couple who owned/managed the rooms. Very clean.
    Little tricky to find, small plaque on the door.

    What could be improved: No dislikes.
    Would be better to say the hotel is behind the Sesame restaurant for folks who aren't great with maps.

  • Biljana from Ireland – 27 July 2024 (9/10)

    Great location, close to everything ( beaches, old town). Host was very nice and helpful! Would recommend Sesame Inn 👌.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Susanna from Finland – 14 July 2024 (9/10)

    I had a lovely stay at the Sesame Inn. Room was very clean and had everything I needed, like air conditiong, a mini fridge, good quality pillows and a comfy bed. The location was excellent, close to the old town but still quiet and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and always upon seeing me made sure I was okay and if I needed anything.

  • Tiffany from United States – 1 July 2024 (9/10)

    I loved staying at the Sesame Inn, the location was perfect – less than 10 minutes to the main Old Town and to a lovely swimming spot! It was easy to navigate to/from the bus stop and didn’t require any major staircases (making it accessible). The neighborhood also felt very safe as a solo traveler. I also loved the private patio connected to the room – perfect to enjoy a morning coffee. The host was also very kind and welcoming – he provided me with an extra set of keys before check-out so that I could store my bags after checking out which was much appreciated!

    What could be improved: The shower was on the smaller side, although it wasn’t much of an issue for me.

  • Lucilia from United Kingdom – 21 June 2024 (8/10)

    Little family run business, Misko was very kind and friendly.
    I had my own outside little patio which was lovely. The room was comfortable and big enough for one person.
    The location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from Pile gate, however away from the crowds. Would stay again!

  • Laurel from United States – 16 June 2024 (8/10)

    I stayed in a large room with two twin beds.

    The host was very nice. Be sure to have euros in cash to cover the hotel taxes.
    The beds were comfortable. I had a wonderful stay. The bathroom was at the end of the hall but private for only our use. The bathroom had a shower and was great.

    I absolutely recommend this as a delightful place to stay with a nice owner and such a comfortable stay. I hope to someday come back

    What could be improved: Nothing bad just one very small drawback is the doors make a lot of noise as you open and shut them. The doors are older and have many layers of paint that stick together and make a lot of noise. I would recommend a white noise maker for the hallway plus new doors that don’t creak so bad. I felt like I was waking everyone up as I came and went

  • Alessandra from Brazil – 9 June 2024 (9/10)

    Very simple place, perfect location, 2 min from Pile Gate, easy access to beaches but still perfectly quiet. Very comfortable, great bed and shower. The pateo is absolutely delightful, I took breakfast there every day. Big hug to the couple that owe the place, they are lovely.

    What could be improved: Daily cleaning would be appreciated at least for taking off trash and changing towels.

  • Kc from Singapore – 8 May 2024 (8/10)

    great location, 5min walk to the old gate, the owner has been very kind & gentle to us!

    What could be improved: The property is abit old hence the floor kinda squeaky, as well as the sound proof.
