Two bedroom Sunny Suite

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across this Two Bedroom Sunny Suite on Privežna ulica while looking for something away from the tourist madness but still walkable to everything – and honestly, it turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises you don’t expect from a 3-star place. The location is actually pretty clever if you know Dubrovnik at all. You’re tucked into this residential street that most tourists never find, which means you can actually sleep at night without drunk cruise passengers stumbling past your window at 2 AM. It’s maybe a 12-minute walk to Pile Gate, but here’s the thing – you’ll pass this little bakery that opens at 6 AM and makes these incredible burek pastries that are basically better than any hotel breakfast.

The suite itself lives up to that “sunny” part of the name, I mean really lives up to it. Those windows face southeast, so you’re getting this gorgeous morning light that makes the whole place feel bigger than it probably is. The two bedrooms are decently sized – not huge, but you’re not bumping into furniture every time you turn around. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets once you close the windows. The street has some local traffic during the day, but it’s that normal residential hum rather than tour buses grinding their gears. The kitchen is actually functional too, which is rare in these apartment-style places. I picked up some fresh fish from the market near the harbor and cooked dinner one night – the stove works properly and there’s enough counter space to actually prep food without feeling like you’re playing Tetris with your ingredients.

Look, it’s not going to win any design awards, and the WiFi can be a bit temperamental during peak hours (like when everyone’s uploading their sunset photos around 8 PM), but there’s something genuinely comfortable about this place. The owner, Marko, actually lives in the building and speaks solid English – he gave me this whole rundown of which restaurants to avoid and which ones locals actually eat at. That 7.6 rating makes sense because it’s not trying to be fancy, it’s just trying to be a good place to stay. You know what sealed it for me? There’s this tiny terrace off the main bedroom where you can sit with morning coffee and watch the neighborhood wake up. Old Croatian ladies hanging laundry, kids walking to school, that kind of authentic daily life you miss when you’re staying right in the Old Town bubble. If you’re the type who wants to experience Dubrovnik like you’re temporarily living there rather than just passing through, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly.
