    I stayed here for three nights in late May 2024. This is a family-run business, with the owner and his son arriving daily around midday. The rest of the time, there is no staff present, but the place is spotless thanks to a daily cleaning lady. The common area is nicely decorated, though it lacks natural light. Guests come from diverse backgrounds; I met people from Argentina, Chile, France, Morocco, and many other places. The hostel has around 20 beds, three bathroom stalls, and four showers. Despite this, I never had to wait for a shower or toilet. Note that the shower stalls are in a single unisex room, separated by curtains. The spacious kitchen was particularly comfortable for cooking. My favorite attraction in the city was climbing the hill SRD, which is only a 10-15 minute walk from the hostel to the trail's start. The summit offers a stunning 360-degree view of the city, sea, and the surrounding green countryside and rolling hills. You can also take the Fenicular for about 15 euros each way. I came to Dubrovnik looking for a place to settle as a remote worker, but found it too small for my needs. I heard it’s hard to find coffee shops that welcome remote workers for extended periods, though I didn’t investigate this personally. Instead, I improvised a workspace in my bedroom, which was empty during the day and filled with beautiful natural light, making it a pleasant place to work.

    The bathrooms sometimes were a little dirty and the shower room was humid as there were no windows there. But nothing serious and the other services make it up for that.

    The bed was very comfortable and we had plenty of space in the room. The personnel was very friendly and nice :) The location is perfect, 20 minutes walk to the old town, 5 min from an amazing beach and the bus stop is right outside the hostel.

    Common sharing bathroom for both women and men is quite unusual for me.

    There was a kitchen included so it was perfect for me.

    I didn't like being in the top bunk - just difficult to climb the metal ladder in bare feet. There were some mosquitos in the room, but the windows needed to be open because it was quite warm. This also meant there was quite a bit of traffic noise.The shared shower room works okay, but there need to be more shelves or hooks nearby, since you have to get dressed in the stall if you want privacy.

    Great location and value for money. I appreciated the big locker, the kitchen, and the friendly people there - also the free parking right in front. The sitting area is a great place to hang out and chat with people. Easy bus ride to the old city one direction and to the port on the other.

    Room was a bit basic and noisy from road. Facilities were old and didnt feel clean. Fine for quick overnight stay. Bit far out from main town 25 min walk uphill coming back.

    Contactless check in was easy, host was responsive. Standard hostel so facilities were reflected in the price. Nice staff.

    Rooms need cosmetic work. Windows need to be double glazed, has the traffic is busy all night and loud, you have people outside on phones you can hear the conversation.

    The owner was very good offered trips, gave you information regarding locations, and how to get there. Old town 20 minute walk, or bus stop is 2 min walk away 1a,1b, 3, 8 the harbour 25 minute walk bus stop right outside. Same buses.

    Wifi is average to slow.

    The hostel is located approx. 20 min. away from the old town. There is a grocery store nearby. The owners are friendly and helpful. The beds are generally okay. The bathrooms are clean, so does the whole property. There is equipped-kitchen, too. All in all, had good experience!

    Nice basic hostel with good location between old city and bus station (both ways ~30 min walking). Most advantage is you don't need up/down dozens of stairs every time. Strong wifi, kitchen, fridge available. A bit confusing shower system, when bathroom occupied by few girls it's definitely not possible to use it.

    The bathroom doesn't have a bath cabin.

    the location was okay. It is 15 minutes from the old town part. The stuff was really kind and let me cook my dinner there even after ı checked out. The place was clean and silent. The only thing that I didn't like was bathroom. It could have been better.

    I added it here,even if it wasn't negatively for my stay, but bunkbeds like this, you don't like anybody upstairs,because it would feel like an earthquake happened. Normally, on the web for dormitories,I'll check first the strength of the Bunks. So this simple ironconstruction I normally avoid.

    For the price a nice place for one or more days.
