Hotel Description

You know what? I almost walked past Laura Apartment the first time I looked for it on Istarska Street – it’s tucked into this quiet residential stretch that honestly feels worlds away from the cruise ship crowds, even though you’re still right in the heart of Dubrovnik. The building has that typical Dalmatian stone facade that blends perfectly with the neighborhood, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that locals actually live around, not just another tourist bubble.

The apartment itself really surprised me – I mean, four stars can be pretty hit or miss in Croatia, but this place actually delivers. The owner clearly put thought into the details that matter: proper blackout curtains (trust me, you’ll appreciate this when the summer sun starts blazing at 5 AM), a kitchen that’s actually functional if you want to grab some fresh fish from the morning market, and – here’s the kicker – really solid WiFi that doesn’t crawl to a halt when everyone’s trying to post their Old Town photos. The bathroom’s modern without being sterile, and honestly, the water pressure is better than half the fancy hotels I’ve stayed at along the coast. One small thing though – the street can get a bit echoey at night with people walking back from dinner, but it’s nothing like the chaos you’d deal with closer to Stradun.

What really sold me on this place is the location knowledge you get just by being here. You’re maybe a seven-minute walk to Pile Gate, but you’re also right around the corner from this little bakery that opens at 6 AM and makes the best burek in the neighborhood – the kind of spot you’d never find if you were staying in the tourist zone. Plus, and this is crucial if you’re visiting in summer, you can actually escape back here when the Old Town becomes an absolute furnace in the afternoon. The owner gave me this whole rundown of which routes to take to avoid the worst crowds (apparently there’s this back way through the residential streets that cuts your walking time in half), and honestly, that local insight was worth the stay alone. The 9.1 rating makes total sense – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just a really solid, well-run place that gets the fundamentals right and throws in those little extras that make you feel like you’re staying somewhere that actually cares about your experience.

    We stayed in 4 cities whilst in Croatia and this apartment was our favourite. Lots of room, extremely comfortable bed, a balcony with amazing views. Our host Miran was lovely, couldn't have asked for a better stay!

  • A good option to stay in Dubrovnik near the Old Town. – Vladei from United States – 10 November 2024 (9/10)

    Decent and clean apartment, very helpful host.

    What could be improved: Noise from the street below and neighbors walking in the apartment above. Cigarette smoke from the owners. Not so good mattress.

  • Exceptional – Elyza from Finland – 30 September 2024 (10/10)

    The room was very clean, there was a dishwasher, the air conditioner worked well, the sofa and bedroom were very clean and the sheets smelled nice and everything I needed was there, so I had a very comfortable stay!! I would like to recommend this apartment to everyone because the view is amazing and it is close to the supermarket and old town. I made the right choice in choosing this room! Thank you!

  • Cosy and active holiday with a hint of luxury. – Izabela from Ireland – 7 August 2024 (10/10)

    The terrace and the amazing views were the best part about the apartment because even in the hottest season you can enjoy a cool evening on the terrace and relax after a long and hot day at the beach.

    What could be improved: The apartment is not accessible by car so we had to climb up steep stairs to reach it at first but later we discovered that there are also many different routes that you can take to get around walking up the steep stairs that will also lead to the apartment and are not as difficult to climb.
    The location is a big plus as you are within a very short walking distance to old town and still you are able to experience peace and privacy.
