Hotel Ivka

“Excellent service”

The rooms are modern and comfortable, and facilities, working. Only drawback is no microwave, no beverages, or hot water kettle. However, since we had to leave early for excursions, we were given simple take-out breakfast of bread and fruit. The staff is very helpful. There's a bus nearby taking us… more

However, since we had to leave early for excursions, we were given simple take-out breakfast of bread and fruit. The staff is very helpful. There's a bus nearby taking us to Pile Gate of the Old Town.

“There are no cheap options in Dubrovnik, but this will do”

There are no cheap options in Dubrovnik, but this was a slightly less eye-watering option than the rest. The décor in the rooms has been modernised since the main picture was taken.

There are no cheap options in Dubrovnik, but this was a slightly less eye-watering option than the rest. The décor in the rooms has been modernised since the main picture was taken. The room was comfortable, had powerful aircon, a safe that worked and was big enough for my laptop and the products in the bathroom were paraben-free and sulphate-free. However, the bathroom was very obviously designed by a man. The only way to shave your legs in the shower is with the sliding door open as you're in your own light and the door is smoked glass, so you can't see what the hell you're doing with it shut and I nicked myself badly. Also, the shower tray overflowed when I washed my hair. Apparently there was an option to get breakfast for €5 when booking, which I didn't recall seeing. If you buy it without having pre-booked, it's €15, so I didn't. Probably for the best as I looked into the option of having a buffet dinner one night because it was cheaper than the restaurants in the area, but when I saw what was on offer, I thought again. However, what would be worth booking is the airport transfer if you have to get to or from the airport in the evening. Lapad is a lovely part of Dubrovnik, less extortionate than the Old Town, with lots of restaurants and nightlife, but it's further from the airport than the Old Town is and when I landed around 20:30, there were no public transport links to Lapad according to Google Maps. The price for the airport transfer is on the steep side, but trust me, it's cheaper than hailing a taxi outside the airport because you didn't think you'd need one before you got there. On the other hand, if you're going to or from Dubrovnik by ferry, you'll find this hotel ideally located. I left Dubrovnik by ferry and it was walking distance for me from the hotel to the port. All in all, a decent option to stay in a pricey city.

“a tale of 2 hotels”

part of this hotel has been modernized and part has not. our first room was shabby, there’s no other word for it. a light that blinked so badly we had to turn it off, an AC that ran so loudly but didn’t get the room cool, crooked drawers that didn’t fully close, no refrigerator, no plugs near the beds, and - the real issue - a shower that leaked and completely flooded the bathroom. because of that, we were moved to a different room, which was lovely and clean and modern and had all the convenience the first room lacked. so, if you book here, make sure you ask for the modernized room. personally, i wouldn’t risk it. i will say that the front desk staff was incredibly kind and helpful and quick super quick to move us without argument when the bathroom flooded.
