Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Magellan Deluxe Two, you immediately sense this isn't your typical Dubrovnik hotel.
Walking up to Magellan Deluxe Two, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical Dubrovnik hotel. Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Lapad, it feels more like discovering a well-kept secret than checking into another tourist accommodation. The four-star property has this understated elegance that honestly caught me off guard — no flashy lobby or overwhelming grandeur, just refined touches that suggest the owners actually care about getting the details right.
Here’s what I love about this location: you’re far enough from the Old Town crowds to actually breathe, but close enough that a quick bus ride gets you to the city walls in fifteen minutes. Lapad has this residential charm that most visitors never experience — tree-lined streets, local cafes where you’ll hear more Croatian than English, and that authentic neighborhood feel. The property sits in what’s genuinely considered Dubrovnik’s top-rated area, and after spending time here, I can see why couples rate it so highly. There’s something romantic about having your own little corner of the city while still being connected to everything.
You know what’s actually refreshing? Free parking right on site. I mean, if you’ve ever tried to navigate Dubrovnik’s parking situation, you’ll understand why this is such a big deal. Most places either don’t offer parking at all or charge premium rates for the privilege. Here, you just pull up and you’re done — no circling blocks or paying daily fees that add up fast. It’s one of those practical touches that makes the whole experience smoother from the moment you arrive.
The rooms strike that perfect balance between comfort and sophistication without trying too hard. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered from a hotel catalog, if that makes sense. The attention to detail shows in small ways — quality linens, well-designed bathrooms, and that sense of space that’s surprisingly hard to find in this part of Croatia. What impressed me most was how quiet everything stays, even during peak season. The residential setting really pays off when you want to actually rest after long days exploring the coast.
That 9.5 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects what happens when a hotel gets the fundamentals right without overcomplicating things. Couples especially seem drawn to the intimate atmosphere and the fact that you can have both privacy and accessibility. The location score of 9.4 tells the real story: you’re positioned perfectly to experience Dubrovnik like a local while still having easy access to all the must-see spots. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out.
Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Dubrovnik before autumn regattas fill marina suites with sailors chasing Adriatic breezes.

It was clean and spacious and was well equipped. The 24 hour check in came in very handy when our flight was delayed. Its a great location close to the beach and old town
What could be improved: Nothing, the stay was perfect
Very specious and clean. The property was next to the tennis club which we attended for the tournament. It fit perfectly with our plan since it had everything that we needed for our stay. Very close to the grocery store, great restaurants and a beach when we had time to refresh in the water. It has washer, dishwasher, stove that worked perfectly (we prepared our breakfast, had to wash clothes since it was a long stay). It was like stay home away from home. Also, 15 min walk to the old city which was also perfect when we had a time to go for a dinner or take a walk in the evenings. Highly recommend!!!
We had such a pleasant stay that we are all compliments to Kristina, our amazing host, and her apartment. A fully-equipped and very comfortable apartment at a great location: 3 restaurants within a 5-minute walk, a grocery store right across the street, an easy walk to the Old Town (about 15-20 minutes), and a bus stop nearby in case you want to spare the legs on the way there or back. If we ever visit Dubrovnik again, would definitely stay at Magellan.
Very comfortable and high quality, spacious and enjoyed the 3 balconies 🙂. The host was really friendly and helpful. Would have no hesitation staying again.
What could be improved: Nothing.
Very roomy, 2 full bedrooms, the best thing was 1 & 1/2 bathrooms!!! Big balcony! Washer! 2 restaurants downstairs and good food vendor 2 min walk on the left of the place. Good A/C! 10-15-20 minutes walk to everywhere. Grocery shopping across the street. Tour pick up location across the street at the hotel Lero. parking! Kristina was amazing! very helpful and kind!
Come to visit beautiful city of Dubrovnik and stay here!
What could be improved: all was good!
Not applicable
What could be improved: Location, comfort and the host
Very spacious; the manager, Kristina, was extremely helpful and responded immediately to make our stay enjoyable. Apartment in about 20 mins walk to Old Town, being downhill while going but quite a climb coming back (we would walk down and take a Uber back, about 5 Euros). Had a washing machine (though do not provide detergent) and also parking spot.
What could be improved: Do not provide amenities like soap, shampoo, etc. Also shower is in a bathtub, so a bit difficult to get in and out. Also difficult to shower without getting water into the bathroom floor
The apartment is at walking distance (without stairs) to the old city, where almost all tourist attractions are. It is easy to find and very important for that city - it has parking with easy access. There is all you need for your stay and Kristina is very friendly and helpful. We will surely come back if we travel again to Dubrovnik.
What could be improved: I would recommend that place for 364 days in the year, however it is good to avoid it and all surroundings for just one night - between 7th and 8th of September. This only day the crazy local church starts loudly at 4a.m and it is difficult to sleep even with closed windows.
Beautiful place in a great location. So clean and the host was easy to communicate with. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
interior is really great. we don’t miss anything. There are air conditions in every room, which is important for summer like this year. It is very clean. There is parking slot in garage. Supermarkt is just cross street. you can walk to old town in 20 minutes or take Uber with 30-40 kuna.
