New Studio Apartment Teba

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about New Studio Apartment Teba? It’s actually tucked away on Vatroslava Lisinskog, which — honestly — I had to look up how to pronounce, but locals just call it “that quiet street behind the main drag.” And quiet it really is, which is kind of a miracle when you’re this close to Dubrovnik’s craziness.

The thing is, this place gets a 9.5 rating for good reason, and I mean, I’m usually skeptical of anything above a 9 because something’s always off, right? But walking into this studio, everything just… works. It’s one of those spaces where someone actually thought about how people live — the kitchen counter is the perfect height for making morning coffee (and there’s a proper coffee maker, not one of those tiny hotel things), the bed faces away from the street so you’re not getting blasted by morning light, and honestly, the shower pressure is better than what I have at home. The owner clearly knows what travelers need because there are enough outlets near the bed, good WiFi that doesn’t cut out every hour, and — this is weirdly important — really good blackout curtains.

Location-wise, you’re about a 15-minute walk to the Old Town walls, but here’s the thing locals know: you can cut through the small park near Pile Gate and shave off like five minutes. Plus, there’s this little bakery about three doors down that opens early (I’m talking 6 AM early) and makes these pastries that are honestly better than anything touristy you’ll find inside the walls. The neighborhood feels residential in the best way — you’ll hear kids playing in the evening, maybe some cooking smells drifting from other apartments, but it’s not party-central loud like some places closer to Stradun. Parking… well, it’s Dubrovnik, so parking is always an adventure, but there are actually spots on the street if you’re not picky about walking a block or two. I stayed here in late June when everything’s packed, and the check-in was smooth — the owner met me right on time and gave me this whole rundown of local spots that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps. She mentioned this wine bar that’s literally a five-minute walk away where locals actually go, and it became my evening routine. The studio itself stays surprisingly cool even in summer heat, probably because of how the building’s positioned, and there’s AC if you need it but I barely used it. Four stars feels about right for the official rating — it’s not luxury luxury, but it’s got that comfortable, lived-in quality that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s well-designed home rather than a sterile hotel room.

• A relaxing place to stay. – Char from New Zealand – 21 June 2025 (9/10)

  Very clean apartment with everything you could need, even shampoo and shower gel, and very tastefully decorated. Convenient location to beaches and a supermarket in a quiet local neighbourhood.. Easy access to Old Town via number 6 bus or a short 10- 15 minutes walk to Lapad village where there are loads of restaurants. Natasa, the landlady, was super friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Bed and pillows were not that comfortable.
