Rocky Heaven Suite

Hotel Description

I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Rocky Heaven Suite” on Ulica branitelja Dubrovnika, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in modest packages. This little gem sits just outside the tourist chaos of Old Town, which actually works in your favor. You’re close enough to walk to the city walls in about 15 minutes (downhill, thankfully), but far enough away that you won’t hear drunk cruise ship passengers stumbling around at 2 AM.

The suite itself has this lived-in comfort that I really appreciated – nothing fancy, but everything works and feels clean. The owner clearly knows what travelers actually need: proper blackout curtains (trust me, those summer sunrises hit early), a decent shower with real water pressure, and – this is key – air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing. The balcony faces toward the residential area rather than the water, which means you get these lovely glimpses of how locals actually live. I’d sit out there in the evenings watching neighbors tend their little gardens while the church bells from Sv. Vlaho drifted over. It’s surprisingly peaceful.

What really impressed me was how the place feels connected to the neighborhood. There’s a small bakery about three doors down where the woman behind the counter started recognizing me after two days – she’d have my burek ready before I even asked. The bus stop for the city routes is literally right there, which saved me a fortune on taxis. And here’s something most hotels won’t tell you: parking in Dubrovnik is a nightmare, but they actually have a spot included. I mean, it’s tight (like, really tight if you’re driving anything bigger than a compact car), but having guaranteed parking near the Old Town? That’s worth its weight in gold during peak season. The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you realize this isn’t trying to be a luxury resort – it’s just doing the basics really, really well, with genuine warmth from people who seem to actually care whether you enjoy your stay.

Reviews

• Lovely spacious apartment in a great location close to Dubrovnik old town – David from Ireland – 13 June 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing location, very close to Dubrovnik old town. The apartment was spacious, clean with a good kitchen and a large bathroom. There was also a big TV which was a nice bonus.
  
  The owner was very accommodating, providing us with information about local attractions and gave us a later checkout which was much appreciated.
  
  Would happily stay again on my next visit.

• Fantastic stay in Rocky Heaven Suites. Very central and the room was very clean. I would definitely stay here again. – Karen from Ireland – 3 June 2025 (9/10)

  The location of the property was excellent. The room was very clean and new. An excellent stay. Was very easy to check in and out of.
  
  What could be improved: There was a bad smell coming from sink and drains in the bathroom.

• Comfortable stay with all the appliances you could need/want! – Chloe from United Kingdom – 3 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely lovely apartment, provides everything you need and more especially if you don’t want to go out to eat every night so can cook in the apartment and also very comfortable bed. Host was great, very helpful with anything we needed including recommendations for activities and restaurants as well as checking in with us via message to see if we need anything additionally! Just a 5-10 min walk into the old town which is a very comfortable distance if you don’t want to be in the main centre.

• Superb – Magda from United Kingdom – 15 October 2024 (9/10)

  Great location with short walk to Pile Gate. easy check in to property, very modern, clean and comfortable. responsive host and replaced a kettle only few hours after reporting breakage. arranged airport transfer for very early hours flight too with a friendly and on time driver. it allowed us to enjoy the city and holiday without worry.
  
  What could be improved: apartment is on a fairly busy street but shutters and closing the windows helped with the noise at night. light sleepers might need earplugs.

• We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again at this apartment. – Helen from Ireland – 4 August 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The location couldn't have been better, a stones throw from the old town of Dubrovnik. Our host was very attentive and replied immediately to our queries.
  
  What could be improved: My only concern, was it lead directly out on to a busy street, so you just had to be careful when exiting the apartment

• Great appartment completely new and well located ! – Anne-claire from France – 29 July 2024 (10/10)

  Very well located, 5 minutes walking from the old down, in a quiet area
  The appartment is completely new, decorated with a lot of taste
  Spacious and clean
  Air conditioning is more than welcome
  Communication was very easy !
  
  What could be improved: Maybe offering some basics in the kitchen could be useful without requiring a lot of investment : salt, pepper, oil

• Fabulous place to stay in an incredible location. – William from United Kingdom – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

  Location is absolutely perfect for old town Dubrovnik and also the newer part. Studio apartment is brand new and feels it. Shower incredible. Very clean. AC great. TV choice out of this world. Private.
  
  What could be improved: A few more sachets of coffee and maybe bigger glasses would have been nice but that's honestly it.

• Had a wonderful time and would stay there again. Definitely recommended!! – John from United States – 2 July 2024 (8/10)

  Very modern and comfortable. Only a 5 minute walk to the old town.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment faces a busy street and the road noise may be bothersome for some.

• Best 3 nights, so close to everything, great value for money – Stephen from Ireland – 19 June 2024 (10/10)

  It felt like a penthouse suite, very modern, had everything, comfy bed and a great tv. Also allowed you to cook if needed which is a nice break from eating out sometimes
