First Impressions Walking up to Romance Apartments Dubrovnik on Ulica od Čempresa, you immediately get that "this is going to be good" feeling.
Walking up to Romance Apartments Dubrovnik on Ulica od Čempresa, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building sits in what locals know is one of the best spots in Dubrovnik — close enough to everything that matters but tucked away from the tourist chaos. I mean, there’s a reason couples keep rating this location a 9.4, and honestly, once you’re here, you’ll understand why. The four-star property doesn’t try to be flashy, but there’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole setup.
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re actually in the top-rated area of Dubrovnik, which sounds like marketing speak until you realize what that means practically. You can walk to the Old Town without breaking a sweat, but when you come back in the evening, you’re not dealing with crowds of day-trippers taking selfies outside your door. The street itself (Čempresa) is one of those addresses that locals nod approvingly at when you mention it. You know what I mean? It’s like they’re thinking, “smart choice.”
Each apartment here feels like someone actually thought about how people live, not just where they sleep. The spaces are designed with couples in mind — there’s enough room to spread out without feeling like you’re rattling around in some oversized suite. The kitchen setup is particularly well done; it’s not just a mini-fridge and a hot plate situation, but actually functional if you want to grab some fresh produce from the local market and make breakfast together. The whole vibe is more “temporary home” than “hotel stay,” which works perfectly for romantic getaways.
The thing about Romance Apartments is that they’ve figured out the balance between independence and service. You get your own space with all the privacy that comes with it, but there’s still that hotel-level attention to detail. The building itself has character — you’re not in some generic modern block, but you’re also not dealing with creaky floors and questionable plumbing that sometimes comes with “authentic” old properties. It’s that sweet spot where charm meets comfort, and honestly, that’s harder to find than you’d think in Dubrovnik.
Look, a 9.4 rating doesn’t happen by accident, especially in a city where tourists have plenty of options. What keeps people coming back (and recommending this place to friends) is how everything just works smoothly. The location means you can walk to dinner, explore the city walls, or catch a sunset without any complicated logistics. But more than that, there’s something about staying here that feels right for couples — maybe it’s the way the apartments are laid out, or how the whole property has this relaxed, romantic atmosphere without being overly themed or cheesy about it. You end up with great memories of Dubrovnik, and this place becomes part of that story rather than just where you happened to sleep.

Host very nice and responsive. Facilities were great. Location is about 15-20 minutes walk from the old city.
What could be improved: The terrace announced in the advertise is not quite accurate, as is a table in the street. You can use it because is a very quiet zone, but is not something as a private space
The apartment has everything you need. It was immaculately clean and tidy with a large comfy bed. hairdryer, iron, washing machine, hob, microwave. The owner was lovely, so friendly and very helpful.
What could be improved: As with all places in Dubrovnik there's a fair few stairs and steep climbs but not bad compared to others.
Loved the location, an easy bus trip into old town or beach. Bakery and coffee nearby. It was very clean and a washing machine was a bonus. Host was lovely and quick to return any query.
What could be improved: No toaster, though one was delivered on request and no iron. That would not stop me from highly recommending a stay here.
Very clean, the Lady allowed us to check in early which was very appreciated.
She also gave us some fantastic food recommendations.
About a 10-15 minute walk to old town close to the bus stop.
We would return
The host was extremely nice. Helpful, good advices! Good price and good location (only 15 min from old city - and to come back worst case scenario only 7-10 eur for Uber). Good equipment.
What could be improved: Nothing
Location was convenient to the old town, view points over the city and amenities like groceries. The host was very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a nice stay by providing maps, some history and activity suggestions. The place was clean, and we enjoyed the homely touches.
I would love to come back and stay again!
Nicely finished, very attractive.
What could be improved: Bathroom more dated.
