Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Nocturno, you immediately get that feeling — you know the one — where you realize you've actually landed somewhere special.
Walking up to Nocturno, you immediately get that feeling — you know the one — where you realize you’ve actually landed somewhere special. It sits right in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, tucked along Ulica Miha Pracata, which is one of those narrow stone streets that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back a few centuries. The building itself fits seamlessly into the medieval surroundings, and honestly, that’s not something every property in this city manages to pull off.
I mean, the location here is genuinely hard to beat. A 9.9 out of 10 location score isn’t something you see every day, and staying here you’ll understand why — the Stradun, Dubrovnik’s famous main promenade, is practically on your doorstep, and the city walls are within easy walking distance. You’re not navigating shuttle buses or long walks back after dinner. Everything that makes Dubrovnik worth visiting is right there, surrounding you. For couples especially, this kind of immersion in the Old Town atmosphere makes a real difference to the whole trip.
For a three-star hotel, the rooms at Nocturno deliver a lot more than you might expect going in. There’s a thoughtfulness to the space — it’s comfortable without trying too hard, which actually suits the setting perfectly. The stone walls and the general character of the building do a lot of the heavy lifting, atmosphere-wise. You’re not here for a generic hotel room experience, and the property seems to understand that.
Couples consistently rate this place highly, and it’s not hard to see why once you’re there. Something about staying inside the Old Town walls — rather than looking at them from a distance — changes the whole dynamic of a trip. Evenings here have a particular quality to them: the crowds thin out, the light gets golden, and the streets around Nocturno get genuinely quiet and beautiful. It’s the kind of setting that does a lot of the work for you, if you’re traveling with someone. Dinner at one of the nearby restaurants, a walk along the walls the next morning — it all flows naturally from a base like this.
With a guest rating of 9.3, Nocturno is clearly doing something right, and I think it comes down to the combination of location and genuine character. This isn’t a hotel that’s trying to compensate for being far from the action — it is the action, or at least right in the middle of it. Dubrovnik’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and staying inside it rather than on the outskirts is a completely different experience. For travelers who want to actually feel like they’re in Dubrovnik — not just visiting it — this three-star property makes a genuinely strong case for itself.

Sergeja the host was amazing and went over and above what I expected. She met us outside the property, gave us a tour. Left us a lovely bottle of wine and the provided us with drinks tea, coffee milk, biscuits and toiletries if we needed them. The apartment is clean and all you need, in a great location and was great value for money.
What could be improved: Nothing. You wouldn’t be disappointed!
It was room only. Location was excellent - Right in the centre of town.
What could be improved: No lift but the apartment is only on the third floor. Can't expect a lift necessarily for an apartment in a converted property.
Great location, strong aircon, clean, newly renovated, balcony is great for drying swim gear.
What could be improved: Bed was a little uncomfortable
Excellent location, friendly host, nice balcony and lots of helpful goodies including a couple of beers.
What could be improved: Occasionally there was some noise just outside where people stopped to take pictures
Central location. Plenty of facilities. Toothpaste, dental floss, all chemist requirements, tea and coffee. They supplied a lot
Beautiful apartment in the perfect location close to Jesuit Stairs in Old Town. Lots of amazing restaurants and bars close by. Also perfect location for swimming or catching ferry to Lokrum Island.
Apartment was very clean, and had lots of lovely attentions to detail and extras like condiments, tea and coffee as well as few beers and juice provided by hosts which was incredibly kind.
Check in and check out process were flawless.
We even stayed an extra night as we loved it so much and the host was incredibly quick to respond to facilitate this. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
What could be improved: Nothing, it is perfect.
Perfect location!
The stay was great. I had to have a work call which required a late check out and the host accommodated my request without a problem. I would highly recommend, great location and a very nice apartment.
The apartment is in a great, central location. It is beautifully renovated, comfortable and more spacious than I expected. It was well equipped and some lovely extras thrown in by the team. We loved our stay.
Great location, comfortable and spotlessly clean. I liked the attention detail by providing extras that made our stay comfortable- especially in the kitchenette.
What could be improved: Noise was an issue. Not really a problem for us but you could hear everything in the room below and above. Strange as the walls are so thick and the windows dbl glazed
