Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Dubrovnik is one of those places that can feel overwhelming the moment you arrive — the crowds, the heat, the sheer beauty of it all hitting you at once.
Dubrovnik is one of those places that can feel overwhelming the moment you arrive — the crowds, the heat, the sheer beauty of it all hitting you at once. So finding somewhere that actually feels calm and personal is a win. Solei with terrace OldTown and sea view is exactly that kind of find. It’s a three-star property, but honestly, the experience punches well above that rating in ways that matter.
The address on Ulica Pera Budmani puts you right in the thick of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, which sounds obvious until you realise how many hotels claim to be “near” the Old Town and are actually a sweaty uphill walk away. This one is genuinely in it. You step outside and you’re already somewhere worth being. The limestone streets, the little cafés tucked into archways, the sound of the sea not far off — it all starts immediately. Couples especially seem to love it here, and I get why. There’s something about the setting that just works for a trip for two.
The terrace is the real talking point, and it earns every mention. Sitting out there with the Adriatic stretching out in front of you is one of those simple travel moments that sticks with you. I mean, you’re in Dubrovnik — you want to actually see it, not just be near it. The view from here does that job properly. Morning coffee on that terrace, watching the light come up over the water, is the kind of thing you’ll be telling people about when you get home.
The rooms are well put together — thoughtful without being fussy. You get the sense that someone actually considered what a traveller needs rather than just filling space with furniture. It’s not a sprawling setup, but in the Old Town, you’re not really spending your days indoors anyway. Everything feels clean and considered, and the sea view from inside the room (depending on which one you book — worth checking when you reserve) adds that extra layer that makes you feel like you got it right.
With a guest rating sitting at 9.5, Solei with terrace OldTown and sea view is clearly doing something right — and it’s not hard to see what. It’s the combination of location, that terrace, and a genuinely warm atmosphere that keeps the score that high. This isn’t a place with a long list of facilities to rattle off. What it offers is something sort of harder to manufacture: a real sense of place. If you’re heading to Dubrovnik — especially as a couple — and you want to feel like you’re actually living in the Old Town rather than just visiting it, this is the kind of spot that delivers on that in a quiet, unfussy way.

Apartment was beautiful and very clean on arrival, equipped with everything you need. Hosts of the property were very friendly and accommodating. Location was fantastic.
What could be improved: The only thing I could say was that the beds were slightly hard however this did not effect our stay nor would it stop us staying here again.
Amazing stay at this apartment, the apartment was stunning with everything you could ask for a home from home experience and made the trip even more memorable with beautiful views of old town. Will definitely be back again one day.
What could be improved: Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect
The highlight here was definitely the balcony and view of Old Town Dubrovnik and the Sea, and although in an urban area it was surprisingly quiet. The bedrooms are nice size, and it has two bathrooms. The kitchen is not fancy, but it has everything you need. The host for this property lives on the premises and was very helpful in giving us all the particulars of the apartment. It is Dubrovnik, so if you like casts, like my wife and I do, they are here, there, and everywhere. It wasn’t very straight forward to find this place so make sure the host gives you some details and be ready for up and down and stairs everywhere—hey it’s Croatia.
What could be improved: It was a bit hard to find with a lot of up and down stairs.
It was a pleasure to stay in this beautiful property with a terrace overlooking the town. Within easy walking distance of the town, but there are a lot of steps to navigate!
Niksa - one of the hosts - welcomed us and was only a text message away, if we had any questions. Good facilities made it feel like a home from home. I would definitely recommend staying here.
What could be improved: Guests should know that taxis can only drop on the main road, so you need to walk the last bit ... but it was definitely worth the effort!
Location fabulous, 5 min walk to old town. Spacious apartment with amazing sea views. Comfortable beds, good showers, tea, coffee, everything you need is catered for. Super friendly host who explains everything.
Great size, awesome location and easy walk (there are steps as you’d expect in Dubrovnik) to the old town, really good layout with lots of space and amazing views from the balcony. The apartment was well supplied with the essentials. Air conditioning was in the bedrooms which was great.
What could be improved: The beds were comfy however it would have been better if they were made up properly with full size sheets and a thin duvet or cover (or if this was supplied for must to make up ourselves).
The balcony and the views are the best thing about the place. Great locations, peaceful and very clean.
Solei with terrace, Old Town and sea view delivered on its promises of beautiful views and spacious bedrooms. Location was excellent - several minutes walk to Pile Gate. We made great use of the patio/balcony, watching occasional boats pass by the city walls and Fort Lovrijenac.
Staying in an older property lent some magic and mood. Its soaring ceilings and period touches enhanced our visit to historic Dubrovnik. Of course older buildings can be quirky, but we found this charming.
Both bedrooms were air conditioned, which was welcome after hot days of sightseeing in early September.
Our host, Nikša Iveta, welcomed us on arrival, showed us how everything worked and kindly left us some rakija made by a friend. We felt very much at home and would definitely return to this property.
What could be improved: A note to those less-abled: One of our party had a bad knee and found all the stairs to be challenging. This is a common hurdle to overcome in Dubrovnik.
It took a little sleuthing to figure out the stove since the dials have no markings.
Very roomy. Well equipped. Nice private terrace. Close to Old Town. Nice views
What could be improved: Rather vague instructions about access to property which could be easily remedied. It was a bit stressful arriving in the rain late at night
Gorgeous view
