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.

“Sunset View and then a Hot shower!”

Large room complete with a large balcony and partial sunset view! Clean, well-appointed amenities. Our frig didn't work but we stayed only one night. Modern bathroom and shower. Excellent full breakfast buffet, yum yum. We enjoyed a 20 minute to the beach. Walk to city center about 20 minute… more

Stayed 2 nights as part of a group tour. Location slightly off the major road so not too noisy at night.

Stayed 2 nights as part of a group tour. Location slightly off the major road so not too noisy at night. Bus stop close by to access Dubrovnik old town but stop on return is further away and buses can be very crowded. Hotel has a restaurant but in the immediate area there's only a small shop so you need to walk further into Lapad for more options. Access to rooms is a bit of a warren of corridors and the lift is on the old side (but did work). Room had not been refurbished but was a decent size, with a big balcony including loungers. Shower didn't look the best but actually had surprisingly good pressure and plenty of hot water. Best thing about the hotel was breakfast. Really excellent choice of hot and cold items. Breads, cold cuts, pastries, fresh fruits, cereals, cooked items, really everything you could want and generally staff did well at keeping items replenished and tables cleared. Would definitely consider staying again if returning to Dubrovnik.

“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.
