Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Palmotta Palace on Palmoticeva Street, you immediately sense you've found something special in Dubrovnik's Old Town.
Walking up to Palmotta Palace on Palmoticeva Street, you immediately sense you’ve found something special in Dubrovnik’s Old Town. This four-star property sits right in the thick of things — I mean, you’re literally steps from the Stradun and all the main attractions. The building itself has that refined Croatian elegance that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a more sophisticated version of the medieval city outside. Honestly, the location alone justifies the stay, but there’s more to it than just being well-positioned.
You know what’s remarkable about staying here? You can roll out of bed and be at Rector’s Palace in two minutes, or grab morning coffee at one of the local spots before the cruise ship crowds arrive. The narrow stone streets that lead to Palmotta Palace are part of the authentic Dubrovnik experience — no tourist buses rumbling past your window here. Couples especially seem to love this area (they rate the location 9.8, which honestly makes perfect sense), and I can see why. There’s something romantic about having the entire UNESCO World Heritage site as your backyard, yet still being able to retreat to a peaceful, upscale base.
Inside, the hotel strikes that perfect balance between modern comfort and respecting its historic surroundings. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter — you’ll find details that actually complement the Old Town setting instead of fighting against it. What I appreciate is how they’ve managed to create a refined atmosphere without going overboard. The service has that Croatian warmth to it, where staff genuinely want to help you make the most of your Dubrovnik experience rather than just checking boxes.
Here’s what really matters when you’re exploring Dubrovnik — you can walk everywhere from here, but you’re also positioned to escape the day-tripper madness when you need to. The famous city walls are practically on your doorstep, which means you can time your walk for early morning or late afternoon when the light is incredible and the crowds thin out. Plus, being this central means you’ll discover those hidden restaurants and bars that locals actually frequent, not just the obvious tourist spots near the main gates.
With an 8.4 rating and that exceptional 9.8 location score, Palmotta Palace delivers on what most travelers really want from a Dubrovnik stay — authentic immersion without sacrificing comfort. You’re not just visiting the Old Town; you’re actually living in it for a few days. The combination of being centrally located yet maintaining that upscale, intimate feel makes it work for both romantic getaways and anyone who wants to experience Dubrovnik beyond the typical day-trip highlights. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit to Croatia before you’ve even checked out.

Central location to the centre of town
What could be improved: The apartment is nothing like the photographs, although it was modern and very nice it was not of a heritage theme as shown in the photos on booking.com.
Very central location
What could be improved: Slightly noisy due to building work every morning
Breakfast at the restaurant nearby was excellent.
Couldn't be more central - above the main street in Old Town
Fabulous location. Clean
great size and location
Very nice location inside Dubrovnik old city walls.
What could be improved: very hard to manage the stairs to the 4th floor with suitcases. AND the bathroom with the stairs was treacherous in the middle of the night.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was dark at night. The wireless was strong and consistent. The location is in the center of the old town. Staff was very friendly and efficient.
What could be improved: We were in room 8008 which is a third floor walk up. The apartment is built into the rafters of the roof of the building with several very low beams to navigate. Do not recommend for tall people. The bathroom is problematic. Steep stairs to the toilet and the shower head that is installed is way too big for the space causing flooding everywhere.
Wonderful experience. This B&B is located in the heart of historic Palermo, within walking distance of all the highlights one wants to see. Our room was small but comfortable, and very clean, breakfast was wonderful and the staff was friendly and very helpful.

What could be improved: needed supplies; lotion and cream rinse would be helpful
