Hotels near Dom Marina Držića, Dubrovnik

This was our first visit to Croatia thus the first time in Dubrovnik and we carefully researched prior to booking. This hotel appeared to have excellent reviews overall so seemed like a good choice. The reality however was not so, as the room we were given was extremely disappointing due to size and the view of a brick wall. Whilst we hadn’t booked a sea view I wasn’t quite prepared for this brick wall and let the staff know. Thankfully we were given a different room which had a much better view, so thank you as this did help immensely. The location of this hotel is by far its biggest selling point as it just a very short walk to the old town with all its attractions and the sky ride. It also has lovely views of the Adriatic Sea, Lockrum island and the old town. There was perfect service in the restaurant for breakfast, the buffet was limited but this was complimented by the menu to order breakfast dishes. For swimming there is a good sized indoor pool and there is access to the sea which was also a fabulous selling point. The sun-bed spaces were limited but the staff worked very hard to ensure all guests were welcomed and found sun-beds and umbrellas for shade from their storeroom. After the shock of the initial room with the view of the brick wall, the other not so great aspect was the service by waiter at the sea/beach area. It was almost impossible to gain the attention of the waiter for drink orders and the quality of the drinks (Tom Collins) was very poor. For 5 star, the service has to be on point and this experience really did let the hotel down. Would I recommend this hotel, well yes but make sure you book a room with a sea view unless you like looking at a brick wall and don’t expect to get a drink by the sea/beach area.

Me and husband went for my birthday and what can I say. This hotel is just so beautiful. Excellent service, excellent staff, amazing hotel. Love love love! Restaurant staff were so helpful and cooked what ever we wanted. Malina who cooked the omelette was always smiling away and so helpful.

As many of the other reviews state this hotel is not in the old city - it is a 20min walk (about 2km) down to the old city, which in the heat of the midday sun can be an issue for some, particularly if you are trekking uphill back to the hotel. The best alternative option is to catch the #4 bus from the Pile Gate and then get off on the 4th stop which is 100m away from the hotel (4min bus ride). There are not a large number of reasonable restaurants close by and the on-premises Bosnian restaurant (Taj Mahal) cannot be booked to the room. It is a mid-range hotel built in the 1970s, so it does have an older feel. It is not that large, with just over 150 rooms but larger than the boutique hotels we were used to staying it on our Croatian trip. We stayed in one of their classic rooms - without any view (unless you count the adjoining building as a view). The double bed was just two single beds pushed together, which meant disappearing down the crevice in-between regularly during the night. I'd suggest booking a superior room, which are larger, more modern, in the newer wing of the hotel and include a bathtub. The Wi-Fi was easy to access and relatively fast. The air conditioning only be turned on when the room key was inserted, which meant, dependent on the room orientation, you could come back to a warm room which might take some time to cool down. They only supplied one bottle of water for entire stay, which they could easily address. The swimming pool is fairly small, almost always in shade and can only be accessed via the lobby (doesn't have any change facilities by the pool). We arrived in the morning, well before the 2pm check-in, and whilst they stored our luggage and offered us use of the pool whilst we waited there really wasn't anywhere to get changed and take up the offer. The breakfast, included in the room tariff, was a reasonable quality with a relatively choice of options however it didn't vary at all during our five-day stay. The lobby/foyer can get congested at times when larger tour groups arrive, with all their luggage in tow. The staff were polite and endeavoured to help us where they could. Not my favourite accommodation in Croatia but serviceable for what we needed.

The hotel is in an excellent location. It takes about ten minutes to walk from Dubrovnik Station and about half an hour to walk to the old town. The airport bus station is next to the hotel. It is also very convenient to eat and shop around. The room has good sound insulation.

The hotel is not in the old city but the location is very good. There is a bus station right outside the door and many buses go to the old city. One-day tickets can also be exchanged at this bus station, and there is no need to go to the pile gate to exchange them. The hotel room is large, new and clean, and the service staff is very friendly. It was my traveling companion's birthday, and the hotel sent a card and birthday cake, which was very thoughtful. You can book a day trip to Mostar without any fees. The hotel was reasonably priced and exceeded expectations. There is also a large supermarket nearby where you can buy water and other daily necessities. Not far from the bus station and pier. The price of the hotel restaurant is reasonable, and there is a set meal for 8.50 euros at noon on weekdays, which is very cost-effective. Overall very recommendable.

Very nice hotel, good location, near the pier, take bus No. 6 at the entrance to the castle and it's only a few stops away, and it's only a few hundred meters to the nearby Lapad Commercial Center. The hotel reception is warm and polite, the room design is reasonable, clean and tidy, the facilities are complete and convenient, and the hotel also has its own paid parking lot, 10 euros per day.

We have just come back from staying here for 10 days (going from in season end of sep to out of season in oct). The view from our top floor sea view was spectacular. The breakfast buffet is excellent with a range of cold and warm food, replenished between 7-10am and has everything you could want. Staff were friendly and helpful. In terms of the room, it was comfortable but lacked storage space for things that couldn't be hung in the wardrobe. Cpuple of bird could do with a refresh of paint, but overall the main grand hotel parm biilding and rooms are moderrn and spacious. The air con system is very old and very loud we either kept getting woken up by how loud it was (like a motor) or we woke up sweltering... so that was a shame. Our towels were replenished daily, our bedding made daily but in terms of clean bedding maybe it was changed once or twice over the 10 days. Apart from that our room was not cleaned, so after 10 days, things started to look grubby. Bar wasn't open until 2am as stated, maybe because it was out of season so we tended to have the last drink there around 11 before they closed up. Pool area - clean and not busy so you won't struggle to get a sunbed. We spent about 4 afternoons around the pool and only once was there staff at the pool bar serving drinks and food. Rest of the time there was no pool bar or music, so we took cheap beer and food from the shop to enjoy by the pool instead. Overall I think it's a good facility for anyone mid 30s onwards and in a good location as there are lots of restaurants and cafe bars and shops close by and the views and walks around are great. But if you're someone that goes on holidays to spend a lot of time at the hotel, maybe this isn't the one. Few disappointing features but didn't ruin our holiday. In my opinion, this is more of a 3+ star bot a 4 star due to the cleanliness during our stay

The location of the hotel is very good, close to the sunset beach. (In fact, Dubrovnik is a gravel beach) Our three-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are on the 6th floor. They are sea view rooms, and you can watch the sunset while lying on the bed. The interior facilities of the apartment are good, and more importantly, the first floor of the apartment is fully equipped with supermarkets, restaurants and cinemas. It is worth mentioning that the staff here is very friendly. The two restaurants she recommended to me are very good. The recommended tourist routes and transportation skills are very professional. 👍 one.

The Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera exceeded all expectations. As a Lifetime Platinum Elite, I understand Marriott properties are now hit or miss, but this was A HUGE HIT AND VALUE. We stayed the 4th of July weekend for 242 Euro per night, including an awesome daily breakfast buffet! This resort in America would be $450 minimum to $750/night. The quality reminded us of The Ritz Mexico City or Bal Harbor. How this is just a Sheraton vs high end Autograph or Le Meridian is beyond me? The staff is wonderful, the rooms are huge, the bathrooms are dual vanity, large shower, and separate bath. The indoor pool and spa is exceptional. The outdoor pool is AMAZING, the table side ordering by phone is great and beers are only 5 euro each. If drinking 5 drinks each/day this saves you $50-100 a day over American resorts. The VIEWS are gorgeous, there is no doubt you are waking up on the Adriatic coast. There is cute little restaurants along the promenade nearby, again pricing/value is exceptional in this area. Plus, it’s only a 12 euro/10-15 minute Uber ride to Dubrovnik, so you easily get the historical charm and laid back resort experience combined, perfection! We leave today for Hvar by ferry for 5-days at an AirBnB and hate to leave. Quality and value here are great, don’t hesitate to book!

We have just returned from a lovely 7 day stay at the Villa Sunset apartments in Plat. We travelled as a family of four, with two older teenagers (19 and 17). The apartments are modern and clean with the most wonderful views of the Adriatic. The hosts Danko and his father Zoran are wonderfully attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We arrived on an early flight from Manchester landing at 10am and we were at the apartments by 11am (the apartment is only a short drive from the airport). Zoran was available to greet us and allowed us to access the apartment to drop our bags until the check in time of 2pm, this was very helpful indeed and meant that we could go and explore and use the pool area. The apartments are about a 20 minute walk (5 minute drive) to the picturesque village of Mlini where there are a number of bars and eateries. A little further on the coastline, you can walk to Srebrenno beach which has a few more bars and eateries. Dubrovnik is only a 20 minute drive from the apartments and Cavtat is a 10 minute drive. We found the location of the apartments perfect as we love walking and exploring. We ate out most evenings however had breakfast in the apartment every day. The kitchen facilities are ample - we cooked a pasta dish one evening and had everything we needed utensils and equipment wise. The supermarket opposite the apartments remains closed however we were able to get a lift from Zoran to Tommy's supermarket on the first day and got an Uber to Lidl just passed Srebrenno which was only 6 euros. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The air conditioning was welcomed towards the end of the holiday as the temperatures started rising. We have had the most wonderful holiday staying at the Villa Sunset apartments, I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and be able to fully recharge and relax in the most beautiful country. Croatia, we have fallen in love and will be back!
