Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Ragusa City Walls Apartments, you immediately understand why couples give this place a perfect 9.9 for location.
Walking up to Ragusa City Walls Apartments, you immediately understand why couples give this place a perfect 9.9 for location. I mean, you’re literally steps away from Dubrovnik’s famous medieval walls — the kind of proximity that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a postcard. The building itself sits quietly on Hvarska street in Ploce, which honestly feels like discovering a local secret while still being right in the heart of everything that matters.
Here’s what I love about staying in Ploce — you get all the Old Town magic without the crushing crowds that pile up around Stradun during peak hours. This three-star property puts you within easy walking distance of the city walls (seriously, like two minutes), but you can actually breathe and move around freely. The neighborhood has this perfect balance where you’ll find small konobas tucked between residential buildings, and locals still go about their daily routines. Plus, having private parking available is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — anyone who’s tried to park near Dubrovnik’s Old Town knows exactly what I’m talking about.
What strikes me about Ragusa City Walls Apartments is how they’ve managed to create spaces that feel authentically Croatian rather than generic tourist accommodation. The apartments have that lived-in comfort that makes you want to linger over morning coffee instead of rushing out to tick off sightseeing boxes. You know what’s really nice? The kitchenettes actually work properly — I’ve stayed in places where the “kitchen” is basically decorative, but here you can genuinely prepare a simple meal with ingredients from the local markets.
The 9.9 location score isn’t just numbers on a booking site — it translates to real convenience that enhances your stay. You can slip out early morning to walk the city walls before the tour groups arrive, then retreat back to your apartment during the midday heat. The cable car to Mount Srd is an easy walk away, and you’re positioned perfectly for evening strolls when the Old Town takes on that golden hour glow that makes everyone’s Instagram photos look effortless. I also discovered that some of Dubrovnik’s best seafood restaurants are tucked into this area, away from the main tourist strips.
That 8.6 rating reflects something important — this isn’t about flashy amenities or over-the-top service, but rather about getting the fundamentals absolutely right. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic potential of having medieval walls as your backyard while maintaining enough space and privacy to actually relax together. The combination of authentic neighborhood feel, unbeatable proximity to major sights, and practical touches like parking creates the kind of stay where you’re not constantly managing logistics. Instead, you can focus on why you came to Dubrovnik in the first place — to soak in one of Europe’s most stunning coastal cities.
The room had all the amenities I needed and although small, packed everything in. Location was excellent, situated an easy walk to both Ploce and Buza gates into the old town, Banje beach and a bus/taxi stop.
What could be improved: A bit of noise from the nearby nightclub and associated revellers meant the windows had to be kept closed at night, but not too bad.
We have enjoyed everything in the apartment: the location, the cleaning, the attention. We had everything we could need, just a half a minute to the Ploče Gate, to a supermarket and to Lazareti’s corner. Walking distance from the landmarks in the Old Town. We really want to thank Vedran and lady Lus for being so nice to us. We will be back for sure.
What could be improved: Nothing. Everything was perfect for us.
Loved the location, just outside the old town. Small but cosy room, we had a fridge and kettle, ample storage, and a big bed. There was a small table and chairs, TV and a separate bathroom. The check-in was smooth and the video showing you exactly where the accommodation was was handy. There was somewhere to have breakfast literally just outside and was perfect. The old town is magical and highly recommend a restaurant Orhan great views and delicious food. On the day of departure, we were able to leave our luggage and collect later.
What could be improved: The room didn't have a view, but we loved it anyway.
Location was excellent, and the host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. They helped us come to solutions in arranging for a late checkout and transportation.
What could be improved: There could have been a few more utensils in the kitchen. There were so many good restaurants nearby. It didn’t make too much of a difference.
Location
What could be improved: Blankets were small in size.
Compact and functional
What could be improved: Lack of windows for good ventilation
The location is excellent. The beds are really comfortable and with the little kitchenette we were able to make a coffee in the morning with the coffee they gave us. Lovely experience to see Dubrovnik, being extremely near to the centre but with more peace at night. The communication was excellent and they responded immediately to our questions. It is a small studio but it has everything you need and clean!
What could be improved: Nothing
Perfect location, less than 5 minute walk to both Buza gate and Ploce gate making old town very accessible. Views from exactly across the road from the walls. Being just outside the walls means you can be dropped off right outside and not have to lug your suitcase around, there are 2 flights of stairs in the accommodation depending on what room number you are. A handful of accessible restaurants on the street if you prefer not to brave all the stairs in old town every evening. Kitchenette in room so you can have some things there if you would like to. Access to the cable car to go up Mount SRD is a short 5 minute walk away as is Banje Beach.
Ideal location. Right by the old town but not actually in it. I’d say perfect location
What could be improved: It’s small but that was fine
Very convenient---my room looked across the street to a part of the famed city wall. Quiet, comfortable, well-maintained. Would definitely stay here again.
