Studio Apartment Colors of Dubrovnik

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about Studio Apartment Colors of Dubrovnik? The name actually makes sense when you walk in – there’s this subtle use of color throughout that feels intentional without being overwhelming. It’s tucked away on Ulica Josipa Kosora in Lapad, and honestly, being on the first floor (or “1 kat” as they say) means you don’t have to haul your luggage up endless stairs, which I appreciated after a long travel day.

The location is pretty clever if you ask me. Lapad isn’t where the cruise ship crowds end up – that’s all Old Town chaos – but you’re still close enough to catch the local buses or grab a taxi without breaking the bank. I mean, you’ll walk past actual neighborhood bakeries and cafes where locals get their morning coffee, not tourist traps charging €5 for espresso. The studio itself feels bigger than typical European apartments, and they’ve done something smart with the layout that makes it work for both sleeping and hanging out. The 4-star rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but everything functions properly and the details show someone cares about the place. I did notice some street noise in the mornings (Croatia wakes up early), but nothing ear-plugs can’t handle if you’re a light sleeper.

What I really liked was how the apartment sits in this residential pocket where you get a sense of actual Dubrovnik life. The 7.7 rating seems fair – it’s solid without being spectacular, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want sometimes. You’re not paying Old Town prices, but you’re also not stuck in some soulless hotel complex outside the city. The check-in was straightforward, parking wasn’t the nightmare I expected (though summer is probably a different story), and having a proper kitchen means you can hit the local markets and actually cook something instead of eating out every meal. It’s the kind of place where you settle in for a few days and start to feel like you’re staying somewhere real rather than just passing through.
