Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Grand Hotel Park? It’s actually tucked away in this quiet residential pocket of Lapad – I mean, you’re literally on Mata Vodopića street, which sounds intimidating but it’s just this peaceful tree-lined road where locals walk their dogs in the evening. The whole area feels like you’ve stumbled into a neighborhood rather than a tourist zone, which honestly was such a relief after dealing with the crowds in Old Town.

The hotel itself has that solid, dependable feel that good four-star places do – nothing flashy, but everything works the way it should. Check-in was refreshingly quick (I arrived around 2 PM on a Tuesday in September), and the staff actually seemed to know the area well enough to give real recommendations, not just the usual “visit the city walls” spiel. What I really appreciated was how they explained the bus system – because here’s the thing about staying in Lapad, you’re about a 15-minute ride from the historic center, but the buses run frequently and it’s honestly kind of nice to escape back to this quieter side of things each evening. The walk down to Lapad Bay takes maybe 10 minutes, and there’s this lovely promenade where you can grab coffee or just sit by the water without fighting for space.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a place with an 8.3 rating – comfortable beds, decent bathroom, AC that actually works (crucial in summer), and most importantly, they’re quiet. I was worried about street noise, but Mata Vodopića is residential enough that you mainly hear birds in the morning rather than traffic. The WiFi worked fine for checking emails and uploading photos, though I wouldn’t try to stream movies or anything. What surprised me was the little balcony – not huge, but just right for having morning coffee while watching the neighborhood wake up. There’s something really authentic about seeing locals heading to work while you’re planning your day of sightseeing.

Honestly, this place works best if you’re the type of traveler who likes having a proper base rather than being right in the thick of everything. Lapad has actual grocery stores (there’s a decent one about 5 minutes away), plus some restaurants where you’ll see Croatian families eating dinner, not just tourists. The hotel’s location means you can easily walk to Lapad Beach – it’s pebbly, not sandy, but the water is incredibly clear and it’s way less crowded than Banje Beach near Old Town. Parking is available if you’re renting a car, which is more than you can say for most places in Dubrovnik proper. I’d definitely come back here, especially during shoulder season when you really want somewhere peaceful to decompress after long days of exploring. It’s not luxury, but it’s genuine and well-run – exactly what you need when you’re trying to experience Dubrovnik like a person rather than just checking sights off a list.

Reviews

  • Douglas from Canada – 17 May 2025 (7/10)

    Great location. Great breakfast. Nice pool and close to beach and bus transportation.

    What could be improved: Our room faced another hotel under construction. Noisy during the day and unattractive view from balcony.

  • Kevin from Croatia – 14 May 2025 (8/10)

    Breakfast was great. Staff gave good references for places to eat and good directions

    What could be improved: The room smelled very strongly of perfume when we entered and we had to open the doors for a long time to get rid of it.

  • Lisa from Iceland – 13 May 2025 (9/10)

    Pros. Good gym. Indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Sauna and relaxing area. Good to have enough towels. 2 minutes walk to street with a lot of restaurants. Short walk to the bus station to go to old town. Helpful and nice smiling staff.

    What could be improved: If you haven´t booked swimming pool or sea view your view isn't really pleasant. But also my friends booked swimming pool view but was planted so low that they couldn´t really see the swimming pool.

  • David from France – 6 May 2025 (9/10)

    The location is perfect

    What could be improved: The outside swimming pool was empty and the inside swimming pool was cold

  • Tin from Croatia – 29 April 2025 (9/10)

  • Lisa from Switzerland – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

    Maria at the restaurant was very friendly

  • Sandra from Germany – 20 April 2025 (8/10)

    Fabulous quiet room with sea view!
    Very close to nice little promenade with bars and restaurants. Only few minutes walk to the beach.
    No street and car noises.

    What could be improved: It might be much louder in the high season, due to many more people around.

  • Anonymousja from United Kingdom – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

    Everything was great. Good breakfast with ample selection. Bus stop virtually round the corner, likewise the promenade, lovely walk for beautiful sight seeing views not forgetting selection of restaurants along the way. Great views from the hotel balcony.
    Spa has everything. Good size pool sauna steam hammam and gym.
    Moreover brilliant staff at reception, always willing to help, especially Tereza

    What could be improved: Nothing
