Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to White Rose Apartment on Ulica Augusta Cesarca, you immediately get that "I made the right choice" feeling.
Walking up to White Rose Apartment on Ulica Augusta Cesarca, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. It’s tucked away on a quiet residential street, but honestly, you’re still close enough to hear the distant hum of Dubrovnik’s Old Town without being overwhelmed by tourist crowds. The building itself has this understated charm — not flashy, but well-maintained in that way that tells you the owners actually care about the place.
Here’s what I love about the location — you’re genuinely in a neighborhood where locals live, which means you’ll find those little bakeries and cafes that aren’t charging Old Town prices. The walk to Stradun takes maybe 10-15 minutes, and it’s actually pleasant because you get to see how real Dubrovnik works beyond the tourist zone. I mean, you can grab your morning coffee from a place where the barista remembers your order, then head off to explore the city walls. That balance is pretty rare in Dubrovnik, honestly.
The three-star rating might make you think basic, but White Rose Apartment punches well above its weight class. The spaces feel thoughtfully designed rather than just functional — you know what I mean? There’s enough room to actually unpack and settle in, which matters when you’re staying more than a night or two. The kitchenette setup is surprisingly well-equipped, and after a few days of restaurant meals, being able to prepare simple breakfasts or snacks becomes more valuable than you’d expect.
That 9.4 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects something you feel during your stay. The attention to cleanliness is obvious, but it’s the smaller touches that add up. Fresh linens that actually smell good, reliable wifi that doesn’t cut out when you need it most, and air conditioning that works properly (crucial during Dubrovnik summers, trust me). The hosts seem to understand that travelers want independence but also appreciate having someone to ask for local recommendations when needed.
There’s something about this place that works particularly well for romantic getaways, and I think it’s the combination of privacy and proximity. You’re not staying in some massive hotel where you’re just another room number, but you’re also not isolated from everything Dubrovnik offers. The quiet street means you can leave your windows open at night without street noise keeping you awake, yet you can walk to dinner in the Old Town and be back home in minutes. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Dubrovnik rather than just visiting it — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes a trip memorable.
Hotel in Dubrovnik reservations spike ahead of cruise arrivals, so savvy guests lock in harbor-view balconies before ships sail in.

The host was very polite and she handed the keys in person. The apartment had towels and blankets for everyone, including extra towels for any other use. The laundry machine and soap offered were very useful.
What could be improved: There is no parking garage and the access can be difficult if you have large bags. We did not have trouble with that, but it would be a problem if we had rented a car.
It is fully equipped, clean, and comfortable
What could be improved: The staff were slow to reply but still very friendly
Friendly welcome and lovely clean property. The kitchen had everything you need. Gruz is a great area to stay in. We enjoyed the alleyways of steps down to the port area (there are quite a lot of steps). Walking round the headland to Lapad beach was beautiful
The apartment was very clean and cozy.
The host - a very nice lady has provided the apartment with everything you would need.
The location is nice too, only that you have to climb some amount of stairs to get to the apartment which i guess is everywhere like this.
There are markets and a bakery next to the place.
The old town is 25 mins away by walk but there's a bus station which is not far from the place.
Lovely clean apartment about 30 min walk from old town.
The owners had provided everything you can think of to make the stay comfortable including tea,coffee, sugar, oil,juice , shower gel , dishwasher tablets etc. Beds very comfy aswell.
It was a very good apartment and it was enough for 4 of us. It can accommodate even 6 persons. The facilities were very good and the cleaning lady as well.
It made our Dubrovnik stay enjoyable.
What could be improved: It is somewhat far (10 mins by car) from old town.But, I prefer this way to avoid paying high prices for stay.
