Hotels near Dubrovnik Cable Car, Dubrovnik

It was a beautiful and great stay all the staff that works in hotel was really friendly and kind I enjoyed my vacation here and also will share my experiences with my friends and family thank you for your great hospitality !

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.

Room is big and clean. Breakfast is available at 15 Euros for a very decent spread. You can buy the Dubrovnik Pass from Hotel Porto just next door. Bus stop is almost right outside the hotel where you can get the bus pass and there are several buses going straight into Pile Old Town. Will definitely recommend!

Lovely hotel situated on the outskirts of Dubrovnik. Easy access to old town regular bus service outside hotel. Lovely room, fantastic views. Staff, especially Toni in the restaurant and George in the bar, were brilliant. No negatives other than food a little limitied in choice in the evening. Would definitely return.

There is a bus directly opposite the hotel to the ancient city, with a ticket for 15 Kuna per person. Breakfast is simpler and can be full. The underground car park is free but very technical (the entrance is too narrow). There is a sea view, the price of four or five hundred in the high price of Ducheng is still quite good value for money.

When shown the room I enquired if it could possibly be changed. The outlook was grim, over the kitchens which was noisy and there was a strong smell of food. We changed to a much better room the next day. Breakfast was O.K but the evening meal was basic. Pudding was the same every night, cut up fruit, a blancmange type of pudding or small pastry squares. On really hot days a scoop of ice-cream would have been perfect. We decided to eat out one evening and asked if we could swop dinner for lunch. Lunch was actually much cheaper but they said it was not allowed. There was no negotiation which was bad P.R. as most hotels will do this. The cheapest bottle of wine was 30 euros which I thought excessive. On the plus side, Ljuba, the cleaner on floor one was very good, friendly and looked after us very well. The hotel was just over the road from a pleasant beach which was very good for swimming. The hotel pool was very good and in September we always found a sunbed. I think that they need to be a bit more imaginative with the evening meal to ensure that clients return.

Lovely intimate boutique hotel, staff were friendly and helpful in all areas, glad we upgraded to a sea view well worth it. The food in the restaurants was excellent, breakfast was plentiful and plenty of choice. Would thoroughly recommend

First impression as we drove up, the building is very large and not that attractive, however the gardens are attractive. A long review but I hope this gives visitors an accurate picture of what to expect. I arrived at the hotel at about noon but my room was not ready so I went to the bar area for lunch. Food in the hotel is quite expensive - at least the same as UK prices if not more, I had a Caesar salad and cold drink for about £20. My room was ready at just after 1. I chose this hotel as it was billed as four star. However they obviously did not spend time during lockdown on decorating and refreshing the rooms which were quite tired looking. I am not sure what makes it four star as there was not much to make this hotel stand out. One of the lifts down to the main restaurant was out of service and stuck on the 4th floor for my entire stay, with no apparent attempts to fix it. Plus points - the bed was large and comfortable; there was enough hanging space; it was reasonably clean; there was a kettle and mugs with tea, coffee and sugar, however no milk for tea was provided to guests, just sachets of coffee creamer. I did request milk and the tiniest of jugs was provided. The WiFi is good - which goes someway to making up for the lack of TV. Minus points - there is apparently no digital TV in Croatia, so the 12 channels that the TV in my room was tuned into were via aerial. There were three in English language - BBC World News, CNN and Bloomberg. There appeared to be entertainment channels in German and Italian so I am not sure why, in a hotel frequented by UK guests with TUI, Newmarket Holidays and Jet2, they cannot find any entertainment channels in English. The TV was not new enough to allow for screen mirroring / chrome casting so I watched my iPad when I wanted to watch anything, as the WiFi was good enough to allow for this. Many people visiting will be visiting with friends, but for some solo travellers a decent TV service is a must. While the bathroom was clean with a large shower (no bath) the water temperature in the shower varied between scalding and freezing without me touching the tap at all. Additionally the towels were threadbare and slightly grey looking. There was daily cleaning but the bed linen did not appear to have been changed during my stay at all, apart from the pillow cases. I had opted for half board and my first meal there was the buffet dinner. There are several stations but no one to explain what the options were. There were a lot of choices, pasta dishes, meats including chicken, daily roast, steaks, salads, cold fish/meats. But none of it was particularly tasty or appetising. Triumph of quantity over quality. A real criticism of the dinner service is that they will not serve you tap water - if you want to drink anything it has to be bought, including water. Our TUI tour rep had already mentioned that the tap water in Croatia is drinkable, so this decision by the hotel management is inexplicable and appears

We had a beautiful sea view room on 4th floor with nothing but the sea & islands to see when stepped out onto the balcony. Great location for watching the sunset from many locations either on the waterfront, roof top bar or our own balcony. Breakfast was the usual expected fare and whilst there we experienced very busy and very quiet times. Staff were always on hand to get anything you may need Location was perfect, a short 15 minute 2 euro bus ride to Old town - easy to navigate as both the hotel and Old town are 'end of the line' so can't get lost! Peaceful and pretty 15 walk to more bars and restaurants at Sunset Beach on way or hour walk around the land to the new port area. Housekeeping - cleaned and tidied the room each day, had to occasionally ask for more tea / coffee / milk although it wasn't a problem as we just got some in the morning at breakfast. Was a little early some days (for us) but we just put the do not disturb sign out and removed it when we went down for breakfast Was the perfect base for our week away and would love to return when we next go to Dubrovnik

Hotel as an excellent hotel, beautifully designed room with sea view, restaurant very very bad, waiter (Dujo) we saw his name on his shirt, not professional, poor service, breakfast as if you are in a much worse hotel, basic things are missing, not to mention everything for the rest, we ordered scrambled eggs, my wife was sick to her stomach the whole day after that breakfast, later we went after breakfast to the pool to have a drink, the waiter was not there, we went to the reception to ask if there was anyone to serve us, the answer was no, he will come in a few minutes, we waited for him for 10 minutes, we don't know where the staff is, the lunch prices are as if you are in Dubai, we came in 2 days for dinner, we had nothing to choose from the small selection of food, we took pasta and fish, the pasta was not tasty, it was not cooked well, it was hard and the fish is not fresh at all, the waiter didn't even bother to give a discount on a bar or a drink I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE, YOU WILL BE VERY DISSATISFIED!!
