Golden Studio – private parking

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Golden Studio? The parking situation – and I mean that in the best possible way. Finding a place to leave your car in Dubrovnik is usually a nightmare, but here you’ve got your own dedicated spot right there. It’s one of those small things that completely changes your vacation stress levels, especially if you’re planning day trips along the coast or just don’t want to deal with the chaos of trying to park near the Old Town.

The location on Ulica dr. Ante Starčevića is actually pretty perfect if you know Lapad at all. You’re in this residential neighborhood that feels authentically Croatian – not touristy, but not isolated either. There’s a small grocery store about a five-minute walk away where locals shop, and honestly, watching the daily rhythm of the neighborhood was half the charm. The studio itself has this clean, modern feel without being sterile. I loved the little touches – good lighting (crucial for those getting-ready-for-dinner moments), decent Wi-Fi that actually works, and a kitchenette that’s more functional than most hotel setups. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed, and the shower has proper water pressure, which… well, you know how hit-or-miss that can be in European accommodations.

What really works here is how quiet it gets at night. Lapad doesn’t have the party atmosphere of some other parts of Dubrovnik, so you can actually sleep with the windows open and hear the subtle sounds of the neighborhood settling down. During the day, you’re about a 15-minute bus ride to the Old Town – the buses run frequently and locals use them, so you get that authentic experience instead of feeling like you’re on a tourist shuttle. The walk to Lapad Bay is maybe ten minutes, and that beach area is where Dubrovnik residents actually go to swim and relax. It’s not the postcard-perfect rocky coastline you see in photos, but it’s real life, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need after a day of navigating crowds at the city walls. The 9.5 rating makes sense once you’re there – it’s not luxury in the traditional sense, but everything just works the way it should, and the owner clearly pays attention to details that matter to actual travelers rather than just trying to look good in photos.

Reviews

• Very good location for exploring Dubrovnik – Uros from Slovenia – 4 July 2025 (10/10)

  Very good location, few steps from two big supermarkets, bus station in front of the house. With the bus, there is few minutes to the Pile gates, never wait more than 5 minutes for a bus. Close to the Gruz port… Appartment is very well equipped with washing machine and dishwasher, microvawe etc. Beside that, there is oil, sal, pepper, sugar, coffe etc in the kitchen… Very good experience… For the car, parking place in the basement…

• Great stay. – Marina from Croatia – 1 October 2024 (10/10)

  Location, apartment.

• Exceptional – Addison from United Kingdom – 17 September 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful room, offers everything you need and expect.

• Great facilities, spotless clean, strategic parking – Concetta from United Kingdom – 13 September 2024 (8/10)

  We liked the decor of the studio, the facilities offered. The complimentary snacks provided were a nice touch from the host.
  The location was a 20 minute walk from the old town and only 15 from the beach. There was a bakery and a few convenience stores on the doorstep.
  We could park the car in the garage below, and that gave us peace of mind while staying in Dubrovnik.
  
  What could be improved: The view from the balcony wasn't great because the flat is located between two tall buildings and on the other side of the road there is the unsympathetic building of a polyclinic.

• Superb – Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

  We really enjoyed our stay at Golden Studio. We chose this property because we drove and this had free undercover parking. The accommodation itself was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We appreciated the laundry machine and patio to hang clothes. The host also provided laundry soap, toiletries and basics for cooking. The accomodation is in a good location and I believe it took us about 40ish minutes to walk to the old town but there are also buses right outside that will take you there quickly. Overall, we would recommend!

• Excellent stay. Highly recommend – Anatolii from Ukraine – 4 March 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was just great. Good instructions for self-checking. Support in whatsapp.
  Private parking in a garage. Good wifi. Netflix (didn't use).
  Property itself is very clean. Welcome compliment. Has in large supply all the possible furnitures, liquids, soaps, etc.
  20 mins walking distance to the city center.
  
  What could be improved: Bedsheets weren't changed from previous guests. But you have a plenty of fresh ones in a commode. So, we just changed them by ourselves.

• Amazing stay – Patricia from Spain – 26 September 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was amazing – location, cleanliness, comfort and the host was very kind and helpful.

• Perfect – Teodora from Bulgaria – 20 September 2023 (10/10)

  The studio is very pretty and cosy. It is perfect for a couple with a child. A big plus is the availability of a parking lot. We used the bus for going to the Old town – there is a bus stop just in front of the building and bus No 6 takes you to the Old town in 3 bus stops. There is also a big supermarket and a great bakery near the studio. Last but not least, the hostess is very friendly and helpful 🙂 She recommended us some good restaurants.

• Excellent – Heg-jobsen from Netherlands – 11 September 2023 (9/10)

  The bed, the bathroom, everything was luxurious and beautiful. Nice kitchen. Parking was easy, easy to get to old town.
  
  What could be improved: The noise, not just from the street, but from the neighbours, and sometimes the weird smell. But I doubt the host can do anything about that.

• Excelent – Adrian from Romania – 22 August 2023 (10/10)

  The room has everything that you may need as long during your stay. Great contact with the owner wich send us the information that we needed and the check-in check-out was easy. Amazing property with little surprise snacks. Very clean, modern apartment with underground private parking. They do care about every detail so you don’t have to buy things like extra soap, dishwasher tabs, spices, tea and so on. Also kitchen is very well equiped if you ocasionally want to eat something at home.
  Bus stop to city or beach is at front of building. Shopping center and supermarket just across the road. Even little bakery shop was just around corner. You can find lot of restaurants near.
