Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Dubrovnik’s historic center, Old Town Center Studio’s offers a charming three-star accommodation experience that beautifully blends convenience with character. Located at 2 Ulica Plovani Skalini in the iconic Old Town district, this well-positioned property sits within the ancient city walls that have made Dubrovnik a UNESCO World Heritage site and earned it the nickname “Pearl of the Adriatic.” With an impressive rating of 8 out of 10 from previous guests, this highly-regarded establishment has established itself as a reliable choice for travelers seeking an authentic Croatian coastal experience. The studios provide an intimate gateway to Dubrovnik’s medieval splendor, placing guests just steps away from the limestone-paved Stradun (main street), baroque churches, and centuries-old fortifications that have captivated visitors for generations.

The Old Town Center Studio’s privileged position on Ulica Plovani Skalini—which translates to “Swimming Stairs Street”—hints at its proximity to the sparkling Adriatic Sea. From this central location, guests can easily explore Dubrovnik’s most treasured attractions, including the imposing City Walls, the elegant Rector’s Palace, and the bustling local markets where the flavors of Dalmatian cuisine come alive. After days spent wandering through narrow cobblestone streets, relaxing at nearby Banje Beach, or perhaps taking a short boat trip to the lush island of Lokrum visible from the harbor, visitors return to the comfort of their well-appointed studios. The property strikes an ideal balance between providing modern amenities and preserving the authentic atmosphere that makes staying in Dubrovnik’s Old Town such a distinctive experience. The building itself, like many in the historic center, showcases characteristic Dubrovnik architecture with its stone façade and traditional shuttered windows, offering guests a genuine taste of local living while maintaining the comfort expected of its three-star rating.

What truly sets Old Town Center Studio’s apart, as reflected in its strong 8-point rating, is its unique combination of historical immersion and practical convenience. While many accommodations require guests to navigate Dubrovnik’s numerous stairs and inclines with luggage from outside the pedestrian-only Old Town, this property minimizes such challenges through its thoughtful location. The studios serve as an ideal base for both cultural exploration and coastal relaxation, appealing to history enthusiasts, photography lovers, Game of Thrones fans (as Dubrovnik served as the filming location for “King’s Landing”), and sun-seekers alike. As evening falls and day-trippers depart, guests at Old Town Center Studio’s gain the privileged experience of witnessing the medieval quarter transform into a magical landscape of subtle lighting and atmospheric charm. Dining options abound within minutes of the property, from intimate family-run konobas (traditional restaurants) to sophisticated establishments offering panoramic views of the city walls and Adriatic beyond. Whether visiting during the vibrant summer festival season or the more tranquil winter months when the city reveals its authentic local character, Old Town Center Studio’s provides a welcoming haven in one of Europe’s most spectacular coastal destinations.

Reviews

  • Linda from United Kingdom – 23 April 2025 (7/10)

    Modern apartment. Good location but lots of steps outside the apartment.

    What could be improved: The TV wasn't working although the host did try to get it connected. He rang the owner but it wasn't working while we were there.

  • Susan from Australia – 22 October 2024 (9/10)

    Location was good and the bed and pillows were so comfortable. Verdan and his wife were lovely and excellent hosts.

    What could be improved: Only negative I would say if I have to pick something was that the people upstairs where a bit noisey & maybe the listing should advise you that there is alot of stairs to the apartment. Some people would not be able to manage the stairs.

  • Kaitlyn from Australia – 13 September 2024 (8/10)

    Loved how central it is located. Quite spacious in room.

    What could be improved: If I were to note anything it would be there were no towel hooks, also the hot water was very limited, not enough for two showers before going cold (not sure if this can be helped though.
