Hotel Description
You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to this little studio on Od Montovjerne – honestly, the street name alone had me stumbling over pronunciation. But Hedera Estate completely surprised me, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s tucked into this residential pocket of Lapad that feels authentically Croatian, not touristy at all. You’re actually staying where locals live, which is refreshing when half of Dubrovnik feels like it exists purely for cruise ship passengers.
The studio itself is small but thoughtfully designed – someone clearly put effort into making every square meter count. What I loved most was how quiet it gets at night; you’re far enough from the Old Town chaos but close enough that you can easily walk to Lapad Beach in about ten minutes (down the hill, past that little bakery that opens ridiculously early). The host was genuinely helpful too, not just going through the motions. They actually gave me specific restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood – places I never would’ve found otherwise. The Wi-Fi was solid, which matters more than hotels want to admit, and there’s decent storage space, though you’ll want to pack light anyway.
Here’s the thing about this location that booking sites don’t tell you: it’s perfect if you want to experience Dubrovnik without feeling like you’re living in a theme park. Sure, you’ll need to take a bus or walk about 20 minutes to reach the city walls, but that’s actually liberating. You can escape back to Lapad when the Old Town gets overwhelming – and trust me, it will during peak season. The neighborhood has this laid-back vibe with actual grocery stores, cafes where locals drink their morning coffee, and that gorgeous coastal path along the water. I found myself looking forward to coming “home” each evening, which rarely happens when I’m staying in touristy areas. For the price point and that 9.1 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, comfortable base that feels more like staying with a friend than checking into a hotel.

Exceptional – Jonathan from United Kingdom – 18 April 2024 (10/10)
Property was excellent. Very well equipment with everything you need! Location handy to old town etc. Would stay here again or recommend to others for future return to Dubrovnik. Thank you for your hospitality.
What could be improved: A full length mirror would be a nice addition.Small but nice apartment with outer seating, not too far from the city center. – Jakub from Slovakia – 23 June 2025 (8/10)
Outer terrace was nice.
New, compact and well designed house
Uphill location – 30 min walk to city center, 15 minutes walk to nearest city beach.
What could be improved: Kitchen equipment was a bit poor, only 2 cutlery of each type, no cutting board, etc..
We had to pay some 100 euros deposit, through 3rd party website (ninja rental) to access the property- I don't like this – usually no one does this, it was not written in conditions and the link is not valid any more, so I can not even check if it was returned or not.Very good – Helmut from Austria – 4 May 2025 (8/10)
