Lima central Old city

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked down Nalješkovićeva ulica looking for this place, I almost missed it entirely. The street’s tucked away in one of those quieter corners of Dubrovnik’s Old Town where you actually hear your footsteps on the ancient stone instead of tour groups chattering. Lima Central Old City isn’t trying to be flashy, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work.

The thing about staying inside the city walls is that you’re literally living in a UNESCO World Heritage site, which sounds incredible until you realize that means your room might be in a 600-year-old building with walls thick enough to survive sieges but not thick enough to completely block out the guy practicing violin in the apartment next door at 7 AM. But here’s what I loved about this place – it strikes this perfect balance between authentic old-world charm and actually being comfortable. The rooms have that gorgeous stone-and-beam aesthetic you’d expect, but they’ve clearly put thought into things like decent Wi-Fi and bathrooms that don’t make you feel like you’re camping. I mean, it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect marble everything, but the details feel right.

What really sold me on Lima Central was the location within the location, if that makes sense. You’re deep enough in the Old Town to feel like you’re part of the fabric of the place – I could walk to Stradun in maybe three minutes, but I was also close to these tiny side streets where locals actually hang their laundry and old men play chess outside cafés that don’t have English menus. The morning I left, I grabbed coffee from this little place around the corner that I’m pretty sure has been run by the same family since the 1980s. You know what you won’t find on Nalješkovićeva? Cruise ship crowds at 6 AM, because the tour groups stick to the main drags. That alone is worth the 8.4 rating this place gets. Sure, you’ll hear some noise from the restaurants nearby when dinner service gets going, but by 11 PM things quiet down to just the sound of your own footsteps echoing off medieval stones. There’s something pretty magical about having morning coffee in a place where the biggest decision is whether to wander down to the harbor or up to the city walls, and you can make that choice without fighting through crowds of people taking selfies.

• Excellent location, clean today perfect base in old town. – Sandra from United Kingdom – 8 September 2024 (9/10)

  Location of this flat is amazing.. perfect very central old town. Its also a very comfortable apartment with excellent price/value for the area. You need to be able to climb stairs though.. plenty up and down.. kitchen with everything you need, it is above a bar.. so we thought it was going to be noisy.. but the windows are excellent noise blockers! excellent stay!!

• Superb – Martina from Italy – 19 May 2024 (9/10)

  Easy access, location in the heart of the city centre. Great value for money.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe air circulation may be improved as the apartment smells slightly of damp.

• Great location and great hosts. – Catherine from United Kingdom – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

  We got to check in early which was great

• Strategic location, perfect for a few days stay in the heart of Dubrovnik Old Town. – Syikin from Malaysia – 27 August 2022 (7/10)

  The location was unquestionable, just off the Stradun (main street). Easy to get to anywhere! Shower stall with good water pressure, washer (detergent not provided) and air conditioner were great too.
  
  What could be improved: The 6.5 flight of stairs. The unit is located on the top most floor so be prepared to carry your bags up. Also it is not on a quiet street especially at night (chatters and buzzes could be heard from restaurants below).

  interior
  
  What could be improved: exterior – entrance

• Exceptional – Kathleen from Australia – 21 May 2025 (10/10)

  Great location close to main square, easy communication with staff around check in and check out,
  
  What could be improved: A lot of stairs up to appointments, but hard to avoid in Dubrovnik.

• A brilliant apartment at the best location – Simona from United Kingdom – 8 June 2023 (10/10)

  A really great location right in the middle of the Main Street, easy access to food, supermarkets, sea and the beach.
  
  What could be improved: still a lot of steps to climb! 😫

• Disappointed on the alternative accommodations the rental agency offered us. – Josephine from Canada – 30 June 2024 (4/10)

  What could be improved: We never got to stay here. The day before we were to check in, we only found out when my hubby contacted the property to remind them we were coming, that there was some water issues and we could not stay. We did not like that we had to stay in Lapad instead of the old town, for a discounted price. We should have got our refund, but did not want to pay an extra 400-500 euros, for booking the day before, to stay in the old town. The buses were always full or continued on, whenever we wanted to take them, so spent more money taking ubers to get back and forth. Really put a damper our stay in Dubrovnik.
