Nautica Room 1 – Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Nautica Room 1? It’s tucked away on this narrow cobblestone street – Kunićeva ulica – that most tourists probably walk right past while they’re hunting for the main drag. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Old Town, but it feels almost secretive in the best possible way. The building itself has that weathered Dubrovnik stone that’s been baking in the Adriatic sun for centuries, and honestly, walking up to it feels like you’re about to stay in someone’s well-kept family home rather than a typical hotel.

The room itself is… well, it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect marble bathrooms or anything fancy, but there’s something really charming about the simplicity. The windows – and this is important – actually open onto the street, so you get these amazing morning sounds of locals chatting and the occasional delivery truck navigating those impossibly narrow lanes. Some people might find that annoying, but I loved it. You’re getting the real soundtrack of Old Town life, not some sanitized hotel experience. The AC works great (crucial during those sweltering July afternoons), and the Wi-Fi is surprisingly solid for a building that’s probably older than most countries. What really impressed me was how clean everything was – I mean spotless – and the bed was actually comfortable, which you can’t always count on in these historic conversions.

Here’s what you need to know practically: parking is going to be your biggest headache, but that’s true anywhere in Old Town. You’ll probably end up at one of the lots outside the walls and wheeling your suitcase over those polished stones – wear good shoes, trust me. The location though… honestly, it’s almost too good. You’re maybe a three-minute walk from Stradun, but far enough away that you won’t have cruise ship crowds stumbling past your window at all hours. There’s this little bakery – I think it’s called Dubrovacka – just around the corner that opens ridiculously early, and the smell of fresh bread basically serves as your alarm clock. The staff clearly knows the neighborhood inside and out; they pointed me toward this tiny wine bar (more like someone’s living room, really) that I never would have found otherwise. That 9.2 rating makes total sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point – it’s not luxury, but it’s authentic Dubrovnik living without the tourist markup. If you’re the kind of traveler who wants to feel like you’re actually staying in the city rather than just visiting it, this place gets it right.

  Nautica rooms has a perfect location to enjoy Dubrovnik old town. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable, and everything super clean. Contact with hosts was super easy and they assisted us with all the questions we had. I would definitely stay there again.

• Amazing location to stay in – Shubhro from India – 18 September 2024 (9/10)

  The location was simply amazing. Also, you did not have to climb any steps to reach the apartment from the road where the Taxis would drop you. There were slope and no stairs. However, there are two or three floors to climb with luggage since these are old buildings. The room though small but comfortable and clean
  
  What could be improved: It was a bit small but it was okay. The price was bit steep but then we paid for the location. If there was a microwave and toaster it would have been better.

• Very happy with Nautica – Amanda from Australia – 10 September 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Could be very noisy at night

• Very good – Pam from Australia – 20 August 2024 (8/10)

  Accomodation very central in old town easy to locate and travel around.Accomodation very clean and new amenities
  
  What could be improved: Our accomodation was on the third floor and there would be difficulties for someone with mobility issues. Recommend to travel lightly as there is no lift of course, being in the oldd town centre.
