The best available Hostels hotel to stay near Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

4.5 based on 100 reviews
Unlike other hostels, hostel Sol is astounding for its top quality hotel-like accommodation. Most of the 40 rooms in our hostel have their own bathroom and all rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with a TV, safe, keycards, lockable wardrobes and extremely comfortable beds with anti-allergen bedding. Wireless Internet access is available in all hostel facilities and it`s free! Private parking, which is available within the facility, requires a reservation and the town parking is nearby.
Do not be put off by the exterior
Reviewed By DublinGuy75I started the Intrepid Balkans cycling trip here. I must admit, on arrival, I thought the place was going to be a kip as the exterior isn't too promising. However, the rooms were fantastic. Quiet, super mattresses and powerful shower with modern furnishings and great wifi. Highly recommended.

Nightmare before Christmas
Reviewed By Chloe HBe prepared for things to turn very ugly after the warm welcome if money comes up in conversation. In the reviews you will also see evidence of xenophobia and knee-jerk aggressive needless evictions You will be living in a residential apartment building that is a old high-rise council looking building. The apartment is old but nice inside but the building itself needs a lot of work. The rooms are small and have limited space to move around. This once was and still is a family home. You will be living with 2 elderly people that own the apartment. The apartment has been split into a private home and a Airbnb property. If you are a couple move on now or if you want to stay more than a few days book something else. Rooms cannot be lock-handle released from the inside, for fire safety. You can only do this with a bolt-lock meaning if there is an electrical fire in your room you will lose valuable escape time and could probably die or be injured. In the middle of the night someone actually walked into our room as we didn’t want to bolt-lock the door for safety reasons. No apology was given and if we were naked or making love it would have been a horrific experience. Couples beware. You need to pay €7 to use the washing machine and €3 to cook. For the price of this £52 per night room in a residential house these charges make a mockery of this policy. It’s placed this high as to dissuade you to not disturb the owners of the house as this is actually their home. The hot water will be turned off at night even if you are in the middle of a shower. You can only have a warm shower in the morning where you will be waiting if the rooms are full. They do not want you to take the air-con any lower than 26c this will only be 3-4c less than outside temperature. They wrote 26 on the air con controller after a few days of our stay and took away a blanket to force us to sweat through the night then get a chill when the temperature dropped and raised throughout the night which happens as Dubrovnik is on the coast. Be prepared to catch a small chill as you won’t be able to moderate you room temperature even if it raises or drops outside. We had to use towels as our blanket was taken away from us. If you feel uncomfortable and want to leave early the attitude of the home owners will change dramatically. Money is a very touchy subject for the man of the house. First he will make an agreement with you to stay and extra night. Don’t agree to that and move on immediately this is a ploy to keep more money. They don’t care for your comfort they just care about how much money you are worth to them. The air-con and hot water ban will continue regardless of how long you stay or how uncomfortable they make your stay. The apartment is on a massive hill at the city end of Dubrovnik. You will need to walk up around 12-14 stories of stairs to get to the apartment from the marina. Either that or get a bus or taxi each night. Dubrovnik is as equal to London in cost, walking is always the preferred method. Get ready to get sweaty and knackered at this address, everyday. This isn’t mentioned on the ad either. An estimated 12-14 stories of stairs, unless you pay, is a huge amount of stairs to hide on the advert. A bus will cost you £3 one way for 2 people so thats £6+ per day for two people, depending where you go, so that’s almost £100 for a long holiday. It’s a no brainer to walk. Taxis will be more than double that. Very, very expensive city and a very difficult residential block of flats to get to. Their rules their home. If you want to have the freedom of basic hotel comforts do not book this you will be massively disappointed as we were and the rest of the disappointed people on here who we never listened to and now really regret. If you are a student or a single traveller and don’t mind cold showers, high air-con temps, blanket confiscation, long tiring stair hikes, high washing costs, inconvenient cooking costs, no washing or drying items in room, basin or shower then this is a good non-cheap but kinda affordable for Dubrovnik option. Two or three days is as long as I would book here any longer and the house owners will turn against you as you will want comforts they don’t want to provide and make you feel uncomfortable. Thanks for reading and I hope I have saved you the aggravation and discomfort we endured. There are plenty of better places in town. Apartment Smiles is Magnificent with everything missing in Sinister-ja flat freely available with plenty more conveniences and no stress. Dump this room now, it’s horrific. Unless you don’t care about comfort or basic hotel needs then go ahead press that button. The view is good, that’s about it, but by no means a sticking point just a nice to have.

Not Good
Reviewed By Docmus13After nearly an hour and 20 minutes of the taxi driving us the 20 minute trip from the airport to the correct area and then around and around trying to find this place he finally dropped us at the end of an alley and indicated it was 'somewhere down there'. The area reminded me of the favelas of Brazil; set on steep mountain side, terribly lit and extremely daunting to first time visitors. Our first experience, a few doors down from our destination, was to be attacked by a neighbours dog; having to get rid of it by waving our luggage at it. Eventually we found the 'Guesthouse' where we were greeted by what appeared to be 'The Landlady' with the words, "You're late..!". After explaining that it had taken an hour to find the place we were shown to our room. A delightful little place full of character such as mouldy food in the old fridge that sat on the veranda alongside the rattly old fan that substituted for the air-con. Or the friendly insects that adorned the floors and paper thin mattress and the inoperable lightbulbs which allowed a night time view over the alleys of the Frevela. By the discription we had read; nice quiet area of town, magnificant views etc etc we were certainly not greeted by this in fact quite the opposite. We are not fussy, just wanting a budget 'Hang-your-hat' hotel close by all the GOT scenes areas, however this was below this and the 'Landlady' had a very strange customer relations attitude to say the least. We ended up spending just the first night as it was too late to change, and then changing hotels the following day. We felt quite intimidated by the Landlady and gave her the reason, when asked why we were leaving, that the 'Hotel' was too far out. However the icing on the cake was after returning home and leaving a review on Bookings.com she sent a Whatsapp message directly requesting tha we remove the review! Of course we would, after our experience, not recommend this accommodation.

Money Grabbing - do not trust
Reviewed By branniedI recently made a booking with them, early on a Sunday morning. To my embarrassment, I'd got my anniversary date wrong and booked the wrong date! I contacted Panorama within 50 minutes, explained, shared my flight details, and asked to cancel the booking. I was advised I had to pay the full cost of the accommodation in order to cancel! They finally offered for me to pay €80 - or the full amount. My choice. I've since raised this with booking.com who have also asked the owner to see reason. Sadly, he's decided to keep the money as was within the terms and conditions to do so. He has agreed to refund me €240 (but to pocket the €80 for doing absolutely nothing but take advantage of the situation). Thankfully booking.com have been far more reasonable and paid the €80 difference. I would not trust someone so ready to fleece people out of money for what was clearly an honest mistake. Meanwhile, I have a further 10-15 working days until I can expect Panorama to return the remaining money....

Won’t be back !
Reviewed By Satia ROur stay at this apartment was very disappointing, not what we expected and we certainly did not get our money’s worth. The service and communication from the host was non existent. The apartment is up 2 flight of stairs which made it very difficult to carry up our bags when you are travelling with up to 50kg in luggage ! Our bed sheets did not get changed for the entire week we stayed despite regular requests for this to be done. We were only provided with clean towels when we asked. Although we requested for this to be done daily however this did not happen. This was only done twice for the entire week. Apartment was not cleaned when asked. We had to chase for basic things like a map, plug adaptor (which we didn’t get). Water only stays warm/hot for 10 minutes! The fridge did not work for first 3 days of our 7 day stay. Looked like damp in the bedroom and bathroom (see pictures). Host failed to show us how to use all the amenities in the apartment. I would urge travellers to avoid booking this apartment. Our trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia was exceptional. Just our choice of accommodation for the week was a big let down!

Clean spacious room in a good location
Reviewed By YoshDimenRun by Koreans, we kinda felt at home here. The room given to us was huge, with its own sink, fridge, utensils, dining table, balcony and bathroom. It’s in a good location, just a short slightly uphill walk from the Old Town’s Ploce gate. It’s easy to reach but can be hard to find because there are no sign whatsoever. Just make sure you follow the directions they will send you after booking.
