Dreams Stradun Apartments Overview

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Dreams Stradun Apartments – it’s one of those places that gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. When you’re walking up Nalješkovićeva street (which honestly, most tourists breeze right past), you might almost miss it because it doesn’t scream “HOTEL” at you like some of the flashier spots closer to the Pile Gate. But that’s actually part of its charm. The building itself has that weathered Dubrovnik stone look that feels authentic rather than Instagram-perfect, and when you step inside, there’s this immediate sense of… well, relief, I guess? Like you’ve found a quiet pocket in what can be an overwhelmingly touristy area.

The apartments themselves are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple” – you know, clean lines, decent-sized rooms that don’t feel cramped after you’ve been walking the city walls all day. What really got me was how they’ve managed to soundproof the place pretty well, which is no small feat when you’re basically in the heart of Old Town. I mean, you’ll still hear the occasional late-night reveler stumbling down the cobblestones, but it’s not the constant din you get at some places right on Stradun itself. The kitchenettes are actually functional too – not just a mini-fridge and a prayer like you sometimes get. I watched a family from Germany making breakfast one morning, and they looked genuinely content rather than like they were roughing it. The air conditioning works (crucial during those sweltering July afternoons), and honestly, the WiFi was better than what I had at a five-star place in Split last year.

Here’s what really sets Dreams apart though – the location gives you that sweet spot of being close enough to everything that matters but far enough to breathe. You’re literally a three-minute walk from the morning market near the cathedral, where locals actually shop for produce alongside the tourists buying lavender sachets. The staff seems to get this balance too; they’re not hovering or overly scripted, just genuinely helpful when you need directions to that little konoba tucked away near the Jesuit steps that doesn’t show up on Google Maps. I watched them help an older couple figure out the bus schedule to Cavtat, and it felt like they actually cared about the answer. Sure, the 3-star rating means you’re not getting marble bathrooms or a concierge who speaks six languages, but you’re getting something arguably more valuable – a place that feels like a home base rather than a tourist processing center. And with an 8.5 rating, it’s clear other people are picking up on that vibe too.

Reviews of Dreams Stradun Apartments

  • The host was very thoughtful in showing us how everything worked and in giving us greatly appreciated advice on the city – Viola from Canada – 19 June 2025 (10/10)

    It was a fantastic location, just inside the Pike gateway. It was surprisingly quiet for this location on the busy through way. It was fittingly and tastefully furnished for the period building and had all the modern conveniences such as washer/ dryer, separate kitchen area from the bedroom/ living room. The place was very clean and well stocked. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

    What could be improved: Absolutely nothing.

  • Perfect place to stay in Dubrovnik old town. – Emre from Turkey – 10 June 2025 (10/10)
