Hotel Description

Okay, so I’ve stayed at Star Apartments Dubrovnik twice now, and honestly? It’s one of those places that just gets it right. You know how some hotels feel like they’re trying too hard, but this one – it’s actually relaxed in the best way. The building sits on Ulica Josipa Kosora, which sounds super formal but it’s basically this quiet residential street in Lapad where you can actually hear yourself think. I mean, you’re still close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that descend on the Old Town every morning like clockwork.

The apartments themselves are… well, they’re proper apartments, not those weird hotel rooms with a mini-fridge shoved in the corner that they call “suites.” I’m talking full kitchens with decent-sized fridges, which is clutch when you want to grab some of that incredible Croatian cheese from the local market and not pay hotel restaurant prices for breakfast. The balconies – and most units have them – look out over this mix of red-tiled roofs and glimpses of the Adriatic that changes color about five times a day. There’s something about waking up to that view with your coffee that just hits different than staring at another hotel’s wall, you know? The Wi-Fi actually works too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places in Dubrovnik still struggle with that.

What really sold me on this place though is the location – Lapad peninsula is where a lot of locals actually live, so you get this authentic neighborhood vibe without sacrificing convenience. There’s a Konzum grocery store maybe three minutes away (perfect for those late-night snack runs), and the bus to Old Town takes about fifteen minutes, runs regularly, and costs basically nothing. But here’s the thing most people don’t realize: you can walk to some absolutely stunning beaches from here. Sunset Beach is probably a ten-minute stroll, and it’s where locals go to swim, not tourists. The staff at Star Apartments actually told me about a few hidden spots along the coast that I never would’ve found otherwise – that’s the kind of local knowledge that makes a difference. Plus, parking is included, which if you’ve ever tried to park anywhere near Dubrovnik’s Old Town, you’ll understand is basically priceless. The whole setup just works, especially if you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights and want to settle in rather than just crash between sightseeing marathons.

Reviews

  • Great apartment with nice long view – Rajiv from Sweden – 30 May 2025 (9/10)

    Apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. It has enough seating space in living area and dining area. The host was very responsive and provided very clear instructions about keys, parking and all other facilities available. The view from balcony is very good. It has a small grocery store next to the apartment, the bus stop is nearby. Free parking available right outside (if there's space). It's very close to old town.

    What could be improved: Nothing to complaint in the apartment. Just that, finding a free parking spot right outside the apartment is a bit of a challenge.

  • Fantastic stay in Durbrovnik – Kihyun from Sweden – 16 May 2025 (10/10)

    Jasmina is a perfect host.
    She is very kind and her response is really fast.
    I strongly recommend to visit the sun set beach.

  • Superb – Andrew from United Kingdom – 6 May 2025 (9/10)

    Apartment was very spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A nice balcony area for sitting out in.

    Host Jasmina was so helpful and available if required.

    What could be improved: Nothing to say on that.

  • Exceptional – Onika from United Kingdom – 17 November 2024 (10/10)

    Jasmina was friendly, informative, and very organised. Her apartment was clean, modern, organised, and nicely decorated. It's was a lovely place to stay. Walking distance from the old town as well. 28 minutes drive from the airport.

    What could be improved: N/A

  • A very nice apartment in a great location. – Denise from United States – 17 October 2024 (9/10)

    Jasmina was a great host, sending us information 2 days before we arrived. Finding the apartment was easy. For us, it was a great advantage to be outside the Old Town, but withing easy walking distance and on the bus route to the old town.

    What could be improved: The neighborhood appeared a little run down, but it turned out to be safe and quiet at night.

  • Exceptional – Bubelis from Lithuania – 28 September 2024 (10/10)

    Basically everything,good location , Apartment bright , big and good furnitured,with good sound insulation in a peasfull neighborhood,with a free parking and excellent Internet. Two bedrooms with big sized comfortable beds and unreal soft towels Near are located grocery shop, children playground and bus stop. Less than 10min to old town with bus or 30min on walk.strongly recommending with children

  • Exceptional – Gregor from Germany – 25 September 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment was very modern. It was very clean and had plenty of space and a big balcony.

    What could be improved: Even the host is saying you can park there, we didn't manage to find any free parking lot, so we ended up parking at the only free place which costs around 15 € a day

  • Exceptional – Αρετή from Greece – 2 September 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment was great, perfectly clean and everything was new. It was full equipped, and also ideally located if you want to avoid Dubrovnik’s touristic madness – especially during late August when we visited. Jasmina was wonderful, she helped us with anything we needed, at any time. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

  • Excellent – Pepe from Italy – 30 August 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment, even considering its value for money, was simply awesome: tided up, cleaned, big screen tv, good position (you can reach by walk the closest beach, Bellevue, far 700 m), kitchen with induction hob, big shower in the bathroom, supermarket to 20 metres. My friends and I found some scented sheets on the bed and even a welcoming alcoholic entrée. There’s a big sofa too, set up like a bed for the third of the group.
    Before reaching the apartment, the owner (a very kind person) sent me on WhatsApp some very detailed videos explaining where to park the car and how to have access to the apartment itself.

    Great experience 🔝

  • Was a great stay for our family of 4 – Claudia from United States – 13 August 2024 (9/10)

    Jasmina was very easy to contact and the communication was excellent. She even provided videos to show us where Parking can be found, which was a bonus. Also, we took the bus into downtown Dubrovnik with no problems. The building itself was under construction. Some of the parking was not available at the time there was plenty parking behind the facility.

    What could be improved: The exterior of the building looked a bit run down, but it looked as if they were under construction to rehab the building
