Hotel Description

You know what really caught me off guard about Hedera Estate? I was expecting just another converted stone house in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, but this place actually feels like someone’s elegant family home that they’ve opened up to travelers. The moment you step through the entrance on Zamanjina Ulica, there’s this immediate sense of being somewhere special – not hotel-fancy, but genuinely refined.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the chaos of Stradun. Zamanjina runs parallel to the main drag, so you’re literally a two-minute walk from all the major sights, but you actually get to sleep at night. I mean, during summer the Old Town can be pretty intense with crowds, but this little street stays relatively peaceful even when cruise ships are dumping thousands of people into the city. The building itself is this gorgeous stone structure that blends right into the medieval surroundings – you’d walk past it without realizing it’s a hotel if you didn’t know better.

What really sets Hedera apart is the attention to detail that feels personal rather than corporate. The rooms have this wonderful mix of contemporary comfort and local character – think exposed stone walls but with really good air conditioning (trust me, you’ll need it in July). The staff genuinely seems to care about your experience, and they know the city well enough to give you those insider tips that make a difference. Like, they’ll tell you to hit the city walls at 8 AM before the heat kicks in, or point you toward that little bakery on Od Puča where locals actually buy their bread. The whole operation feels thoughtfully run – from check-in to the daily housekeeping, everything just works smoothly.

Honestly, the 8.9 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be a luxury resort, but it nails what it’s going for: a comfortable, well-located base that feels authentic to Dubrovnik. The rooms are quiet (which is no small feat in the Old Town), the beds are actually comfortable, and there’s something really satisfying about falling asleep in a building that’s probably older than most countries. If you’re someone who wants to experience the real rhythm of the city – morning coffee with locals, evening strolls when the day-trippers have left – this spot puts you right in the middle of it all without feeling touristy.

Reviews

  • Excellent accommodation and amazing view. – Sharron from United Kingdom – 1 May 2025 (9/10)

    Perfect location. Everything you need for your stay in old town. Amazing terrace with a breathtaking view. Communication with the team was excellent.

    What could be improved: High breakage fee. Very steep for this property, but expect this returned promptly.

  • Great views – Matthew from Australia – 12 July 2024 (10/10)

    Terrace had an incredible view, aircon was ice cold and the kitchen was massive

  • Our family had a wonderful stay and most appreciated the patio, beautiful kitchen and the location just inside the City – Rachel from United States – 26 June 2024 (9/10)

    Spent a great deal of time on the patio the view is just splendid. Especially beautiful at night. We also appreciated being off the beaten path and tucked into a quiet part of town. Less touristy

    What could be improved: A/C was fine but a little taxed during the heat wave.

  • Our stay in Dubrovnik was perfect! – Robert from United Kingdom – 24 June 2023 (9/10)

    The terrace and views were amazing. The location was very convenient for the transfer drop off. The beds were comfortable and aircon worked well.
    The staff at Hedera Estates are also very helpful.

    What could be improved: There were a couple of kitchen basics missing – scissors and chopping board.
    Easy to fix.

  • Amazing location, had high expectations, at the price expected more! – Melissa from United Kingdom – 20 August 2022 (6/10)

    Perfect location

    What could be improved: Sadly a few things, there was broken glass on the terrace. The door handle was broken, the lock was faulty…. Just disappointing

  • Dubrovnik is prachtig en leerrijk zeker bezoek, maar langer dan 4 dagen is niet nodig – Gregory from Belgium – 12 November 2024 (10/10)

    30 mtr ingangpoort van de muren voor af en aan van transfer. Of als je andere activiteiten doet van mensen die je ophalen. De overdekte terras met uitzicht maakt het lekker koffie drinken smorgens heel super

    What could be improved: Beperkte ontbijt menu, toast ham en kaas en anders roer ei of spiegelei. Ontbijt mag uitgebreider of je boekt zonder ontbijt dan heel goed. Weet dat je mr 100 mtr van de hoofdstraat van de old town zit, toch zijn er 134 trappen tot je appartement te doen.

  • Bien placé et au calme ! – Virginie from France – 14 May 2024 (9/10)

    Emplacement idéal, en haut de la vieille ville, la vue du toit terrasse est vraiment top
    Très calme pour dormir

    What could be improved: Le coin est très calme, il ne faut vraiment pas faire de bruit sur la terrasse

  • Preciosa terraza con vistas a la muralla – Laura from Spain – 4 August 2022 (10/10)

    el alojamiento tiene lo imprescindible para pasar unos días en Dubrovnik.
    Lo mejor del apartamento es la terraza con vistas a la muralla.

    What could be improved: la única pega que pondría es que el apartamento no ofrece parking para los huéspedes

  • Schönste Dachterrasse Dubrovniks – Björn from Germany – 19 October 2024 (8/10)

    Wahrscheinlich die schönste Dachterrasse in ganz Dubrovnik. Direkt in der Altstadt, aber doch direkt am Stadttor, wo man das Gepäck abladen kann.

    What could be improved: Die Wohnküche riecht widerlich. Wahrscheinlich ist es das Sofa, das so unglaublich stinkt. Für den Preis könnte man neben der Dachterrasse noch einen besseren Zustand der Wohnung erwarten. In der Küche fehlt eine größere Bratpfanne, es gibt eine kleine und eine winzige Pfanne.

  • Fyra från Sverige – Olsson from Sweden – 25 May 2025 (7/10)

    Den stora terrassen va helt underbart men en fantastisk utsikt.

    What could be improved: Saknade gardiner i ett rum för att mörklägga.
