Walking down Nalješkovićeva ulica in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, you’ll find Old Town Olive luxury room for 3 tucked right into the heart of everything that makes this ancient city magical. I mean, when a place scores 9.6 for location, you know they’re doing something right. This four-star apartment sits literally in the real heart of Dubrovnik — and honestly, you can’t get much more central than this without sleeping on the Stradun itself.
What I love about this location is that you’re close enough to hear the morning bustle of locals heading to work, but far enough from the main tourist drag that you won’t be kept awake by late-night revelry. Nalješkovićeva is one of those side streets that actually feels lived-in, you know? You’ll walk past tiny cafés where locals grab their morning coffee and small shops that have been family-run for generations. The couples who stay here consistently rate the location 9.5 out of 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why — it’s that sweet spot between authentic neighborhood life and tourist accessibility.
The room comfortably accommodates three people without feeling cramped, which is honestly impressive given how tight space can be within these ancient walls. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with the character of Old Town living — you’re still very much inside a historic building, but you won’t be roughing it. The setup works well whether you’re traveling with friends or as a small family, and there’s enough space that everyone can have their own corner when needed.
One thing that surprised me was how quickly this place makes you feel like a temporary resident rather than just another tourist passing through. Maybe it’s because you’re on a residential street, or maybe it’s the way the morning light filters through those characteristic Dubrovnik windows, but there’s something genuinely homey about the experience. You’ll find yourself popping out for fresh bread at the local bakery or grabbing vegetables at the small market nearby — activities that feel natural rather than forced.
With a 9.7 rating, guests clearly appreciate what this place offers, and I think it comes down to authenticity without sacrifice. You’re not staying in some sterile hotel room, but you’re also not dealing with the quirks that sometimes come with truly local accommodations. The location means you can walk to Dubrovnik’s major sights in minutes, yet retreat to a quiet street when the crowds become overwhelming. It’s that balance — being in the thick of things while having a peaceful base — that makes this spot work so well for travelers who want to experience Dubrovnik rather than just see it.
To book a hotel in Dubrovnik during summer festivals, visitors plan ahead to balance Lokrum picnics with sunset concerts in marble plazas.
A beautiful room, high above Dubrovnik, with all the comfort needed to relax & enjoy this beautiful city: comfy bed, light-filled room, refrigerator & coffee maker, large shower, a/c. Excellent communication with host, easy access from the Buza Gate, wonderful, friendly service from Tanja & Bozena. Would definitely stay again
What could be improved: Beware there are stairs to climb!
Fabulous location, beautiful apartment and couldn’t wish for more. Modern and very stylish with added luxuries of coffee machine/kettle/fridge. Spotlessly clean and amazing host.
What could be improved: N/A everything was perfect.
It’s as shown in the pictures (but wider): well furnished with good taste in decoration, a very lovely comfortable room
With the plus of a cozy great design bathroom!
There’s nothing not to love there, they also keep umbrellas available for customers in case of rain.
The host provided detailed info on how to get to the place (video, pictures and also desciption on how to avoid the steepest way). Restaurants, bar, museums and other places to see, they’ll tell you everything.
One last thing: the room stands high on one of the greenest stairs in Dubrovnik woth lots of plants, it was a pleasure to take those stairs. But slowly, since I am not young anymore! 😉
Beautiful room, extremely clean, in a fantastic location
What could be improved: Nothing, everything was great
Lovely apartment in a great location minutes from the centre of the old town. Airport pick up and drop off was great. Good communication from owner at all times. Enjoyed every minute.
This apartment was absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and right in the heart of the old town (but not so far down the steps that you have to carry your luggage a great distance). I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Very good location, nice room and big help of the owner during our stay! I fully recommend this accomodation!
Very new and comfy room, same as in photos. Very nice welcome from host, and very good communication throughout. Would recommend and likely to stay again if back in Dubrovnik. Compared to other options in the Old Town, here you can choose to do minimal steps (40) if you walk a longer way out of one gate and back through another (as opposed to climbing 140 steps up from the main square/street). Only noises from very occasional drunk passers-by at night, perfectly silent otherwise.
Beautiful, well appointed room, excellent location, owners communicated well and were so helpful and friendly!
The room is beautifully renovated and extremely comfortable. Top quality in every regard, from bedding to bathroom products and towels. The hosts are very responsive and keen to make sure guests are comfortable and happy. Wonderful beach is an 8 minute walk away. We really loved this place.
What could be improved: No complaints. Because location is at the top of old town there are a lot of stairs so good exercise:) However it would be a challenging location for someone with mobility issues.
