    Shower room which is mixed has no doors only shower curtains, no hooks to hang clothes, broken shower hose and no holder to hang the shower head on the wall. Also needs a real good clean with the mould build up. Dishwasher & oven are both broken in the kitchen. Hostel does face a busy road that is quite noisy with people yelling & car horns, so bring your earplugs. As other reviews the front door isn't locked so if security is a thing for you, you may want to consider this. No bed side lamp.

    Location is fairly central. 30 min walk from the bus station, 20 minute walk to Old Town but there's a bus stop right at the front door if you want to take the bus to either place. Bed comfortable, portable air-conditioning but it's loud so bring earplugs. Good size kitchen. Free tea & coffee. Supermarket just around the corner. Lockers provided, power outlets at bedside. Small fridge in room for your drinks.

    Everything was ok and as showed in the website.

    I really liked the location, you can get to the centre in 15 minutes walking down a lovely street full of beautiful buildings and with views of the sea. The hostel has everything you need. Easy check-in and checkout, good showers, tranquility, lockers. The receptionist makes sure you are comfortable.

    Nothing was a nice hostel

    For the price considering that is Dubrovnik you won’t get anything cheaper, supermarket close, the personal help you a lot, nice people around, and even they is not in the old town bus stop 1meter outside the hostel and probably is you get the Dubrovnik pass buses will be free, try to get the 3 days.

    There were no power outlets near my bed, but there were power outlets near all other beds in the room. They put me in the upper bed, even though there was no one sleeping on the lower bed, so I didn't understand that.

    The showers were very nice, and they had a drying rack for your wet clothes.

    The staff is super friendly and make you feel like you are at home. Really nice people. Place is comfortable for a few nights in Dubrovnik. You got a beach very nearby. And you can walk in 20 minutes more or less to the old town and have the bus stop just outside the place.

    I didn't like the showers being used by both men and women. I felt REALLY uncomfortable and it caused me to be very nervous taking showers. I was so nervous I left behind my shampoo in special airplane container and someone stole it. Most women don't feel comfortable in a situation like that. They should put in a wall and separate the showers for men and for women

    The staff were warm and friendly and helpful

    -Mixed showers for men and women, without a proper space where to get changed. - poor facilities in the bedroom, a small light next to the beds would be nice. - bed to be made at the arrival, and I was also unlucky to get the top bunk bed, very uncomfortable to make and with sheet not fitting properly the high mattress, not comfortable pillow - only one small towel provided

    Clean bathroom, spacious locker, air conditioning

    Maybe a little better air conditioning in the rooms.

    The hostel has a perfect location, just 5–7 minutes from beautiful beaches and within walking distance of the old town, around 15–20 minutes to the gate. Another great advantage is a large hypermarket just 5 minutes away. The room itself is very spacious and even better than in the pictures. The staff is incredibly generous and friendly. 100% recommended!

    The location: It takes about 20 minutes walk to go to the city center. In Dubrovnik there is almost no public transportation, if you want to go to the bus station, you better walk like 30 minutes. The kitchen had some appliances (oven) didn't working and is a bit messy to find the stuff.

    Very friendly staff, both the father and the son. They offered me wine and an ince cream. Very welcoming. The beds are comfortable and there is AC in the room. Also in the kitchen there's free coffee and tea.
