Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Dubrovnik’s enchanting Old Town, the exquisite 4-star Celenga Apartments with free offsite parking offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Located on Svetoga Josipa 13, this exceptional accommodation sits within the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage-listed walls of Dubrovnik’s ancient center, placing guests just steps away from the city’s most iconic attractions. With an outstanding guest rating of 9.5, these apartments consistently exceed expectations, earning them a reputation as one of the most sought-after accommodations in Croatia’s crown jewel destination. The property’s remarkable score reflects its commitment to exceptional service, immaculate facilities, and the authentic Dubrovnik experience it provides to every guest who crosses its threshold.

The Celenga Apartments’ privileged Old Town location puts you at the center of Dubrovnik’s rich cultural tapestry. Just moments from your door, you’ll discover the gleaming limestone expanse of Stradun (the main street), the historic Rector’s Palace, the magnificent Dubrovnik Cathedral, and the vibrant Luža Square. After a day of exploring the ancient city walls or basking on the nearby Banje Beach, return to your stylish apartment sanctuary where traditional Dalmatian architecture harmonizes with contemporary comforts. What sets Celenga apart from other Old Town accommodations is its rare offering of free offsite parking—an invaluable amenity in Dubrovnik’s pedestrianized historic center where parking is notoriously challenging and expensive. This thoughtful provision allows guests the freedom to explore the stunning Dalmatian coastline and nearby attractions like the Elafiti Islands or Lokrum Nature Reserve without the typical parking concerns.

The apartments themselves reflect the timeless elegance of their historic surroundings while providing all the modern conveniences today’s discerning travelers expect. Each unit is thoughtfully designed to honor the building’s architectural heritage while ensuring maximum comfort. Original stone features, wooden beams, and traditional elements blend seamlessly with tasteful contemporary furnishings. The property’s nearly perfect rating speaks volumes about the attentive service provided by the hosts, who are renowned for their warm Croatian hospitality, insider knowledge of the region, and willingness to go above and beyond to create memorable guest experiences. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your private terrace overlooking terracotta rooftops, preparing a meal with fresh ingredients from the nearby open-air market in your fully-equipped kitchen, or simply relaxing in air-conditioned comfort after exploring the sun-drenched streets, Celenga Apartments offers an authentic slice of Dubrovnik life that hotels simply cannot match. For travelers seeking the perfect balance of historic immersion, modern convenience, and exceptional value in Croatia’s most spectacular destination, the 4-star Celenga Apartments with free offsite parking represents not just accommodation, but a highlight of your Adriatic adventure.

Reviews

  • Michele from Australia – 16 May 2025 (9/10)

    I appreciated the very friendly and helpful girl at reception. She explained everything clearly and definitely made my stay in the old town an enjoyable experience. An added bonus was having the free use if laundry facilities.

    What could be improved: On the first night there was a septic smell coming from the bathroom, due to the very old plumbing, as the building is 500 years old. The girl at reception told me how to fix the problem by keeping the drains moist and it was much better the second night of my stay.

  • Amy from United States – 16 May 2025 (8/10)

    Location was great- very close to everything and free parking outside of the city. It’s a little more work to get here after parking but totally worth the effort

    What could be improved: No complaints

  • Paul from United States – 9 May 2025 (10/10)

    Great location center of Old Town Dubrovnik. Updated apartments with small kitchenette was perfect. Access to self serve laundry facility was ideal.

    What could be improved: No negatives

  • Suncica from United States – 4 May 2025 (10/10)

    What could be improved: N/A

  • Paul from United Kingdom – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

    There was not a lot of steps to get to the apartment

    What could be improved: A luggage lift would be useful

  • Cheryl from United States – 21 April 2025 (10/10)

    Fantastic location – down a beautiful side street right in the middle of Old Town. Walkable to everything! The apartment was fully equipped, had coffee and sugar, beds were comfy, water pressure was great with plenty of hot water. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Offsite parking was a real plus since parking is in short supply. But it is truly offsite – about 10 min taxi ride to Pile Gate. Best not to have a car at all. One of the best places we've stayed ever!

    What could be improved: Nothing!

  • Greg from Australia – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

    The bed was comfortable, the bathroom quite big and ear plugs were supplied but we did not need them!
    Check- in was easy and the instructions were very clear. WiFi worked well and was fast.
    There was enough space to organise your belongings and the kitchen was adequately equipped.
    The location was superb, right in the middle of all the action but it was not a restaurant laneway and hence we did not have noise all night. There are lots of restaurants in alleys and laneways, which, although charming, can be noisy.

    What could be improved: You need to keep the window open, even at night, otherwise the room gets stuffy. This was not a problem for us.

  • Sue from Australia – 7 April 2025 (9/10)

    The units were great. Comfortable with lovely modern fit out in a gorgeous stone building. Bonus is the free laundry facilities.

  • Jože from Slovenia – 5 January 2025 (10/10)

    Located in the city centre, nearby all the happening, yet shielded from all the noise. Nicely equipped.

    What could be improved: All was good.

  • Mair from United Kingdom – 14 December 2024 (10/10)

    Perfect location right in the middle of the old town. Instructions for getting there from the airport were brilliant.
    Beautiful place, facilities were great, spotless apartment with all the facilities you need. All within walking distance.
    We had a problem with the air-conditioning late one evening, messaged the contact no provided, they sorted straight away.

    What could be improved: Nothing, highly recommend
