Hotels Near Spomenik Marinu Držiću in Dubrovnik

Fantastic well appointed apartment in a beautifully renovated historic building in the heart of the old city. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment on the top (third) floor of the building. The flat had a lounge, dining area and kitchenette with hob, fridge, microwave, kettle and sandwich toaster. There were air conditioning units in both the living area and bedrooms. We had a lovely view over the rooftops towards the hills to the north east of the city. There is also a washing machine and drier that are free for guests to use. We had good communications with the hotel via email. The building is a 5 minute walk from Pile Gate and there is no lift so it wouldn’t be suitable for someone with limited mobility.

There is no place with a better location and better view than this place. It's truly the best location. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and the service was friendly and all the staff made me feel good. I had the best time for 3 nights. It wasn't even a 5-minute walk to the old town, so I walked to the hotel, rested, and headed out again. It was good.

This was our first visit to Croatia thus the first time in Dubrovnik and we carefully researched prior to booking. This hotel appeared to have excellent reviews overall so seemed like a good choice. The reality however was not so, as the room we were given was extremely disappointing due to size and the view of a brick wall. Whilst we hadn’t booked a sea view I wasn’t quite prepared for this brick wall and let the staff know. Thankfully we were given a different room which had a much better view, so thank you as this did help immensely. The location of this hotel is by far its biggest selling point as it just a very short walk to the old town with all its attractions and the sky ride. It also has lovely views of the Adriatic Sea, Lockrum island and the old town. There was perfect service in the restaurant for breakfast, the buffet was limited but this was complimented by the menu to order breakfast dishes. For swimming there is a good sized indoor pool and there is access to the sea which was also a fabulous selling point. The sun-bed spaces were limited but the staff worked very hard to ensure all guests were welcomed and found sun-beds and umbrellas for shade from their storeroom. After the shock of the initial room with the view of the brick wall, the other not so great aspect was the service by waiter at the sea/beach area. It was almost impossible to gain the attention of the waiter for drink orders and the quality of the drinks (Tom Collins) was very poor. For 5 star, the service has to be on point and this experience really did let the hotel down. Would I recommend this hotel, well yes but make sure you book a room with a sea view unless you like looking at a brick wall and don’t expect to get a drink by the sea/beach area.

Me and husband went for my birthday and what can I say. This hotel is just so beautiful. Excellent service, excellent staff, amazing hotel. Love love love! Restaurant staff were so helpful and cooked what ever we wanted. Malina who cooked the omelette was always smiling away and so helpful.

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.

The hotel is in an excellent location. It takes about ten minutes to walk from Dubrovnik Station and about half an hour to walk to the old town. The airport bus station is next to the hotel. It is also very convenient to eat and shop around. The room has good sound insulation.

The hotel is not in the old city but the location is very good. There is a bus station right outside the door and many buses go to the old city. One-day tickets can also be exchanged at this bus station, and there is no need to go to the pile gate to exchange them. The hotel room is large, new and clean, and the service staff is very friendly. It was my traveling companion's birthday, and the hotel sent a card and birthday cake, which was very thoughtful. You can book a day trip to Mostar without any fees. The hotel was reasonably priced and exceeded expectations. There is also a large supermarket nearby where you can buy water and other daily necessities. Not far from the bus station and pier. The price of the hotel restaurant is reasonable, and there is a set meal for 8.50 euros at noon on weekdays, which is very cost-effective. Overall very recommendable.

Booked a sea view room, you can see part of the sea when you open the window, the environment is good, and the hotel chain has a beach and swimming pool where you can swim unlimitedly. There is a Chinese restaurant 10 minutes away from the hotel. The owner is from Zhejiang. The food is very good and the price is not bad. It is about 7-8 minutes away from the bus station, and the bus to the old town takes about 15 minutes. The hotel breakfast is very simple and has not changed in 4 days. Maybe foreigners really have nothing to change.

Very nice resort hotel, the room facilities are very good, there is a balcony. The hotel is full of scenery, there is a swimming pool and a gym, if you don't go out, you can stay in the hotel for a few days. The breakfast is very rich and can be eaten by the sea. The waiter is very friendly. This is the most satisfactory hotel in Croatia this time. There is a Chinese restaurant not far from the hotel. I will choose this hotel again next time.

We stayed at the Royal Neptun for 1 week, it is 1 of 3 hotels forming a complex - Neptun is a 4 star and the other 2, 5 star and we could definitely see the difference. The highs, the location is outstanding, the walk along the promenade to the bars and restaurants, superb. The roof top bar and pool, amazing place to have drinks and watch the sunset, the pizzas in ‘on the rocks bar’ yummy, food and setting in Zoe was well worth the money, and the massage in the spa was one of the best I’ve had. So why only 3 stars: we checked in, other guests checking in were offered support with their luggage which we weren’t, maybe only for the 5 star, we didn’t mind but just noticeable. We walked into our room, first sight clean and tidy but then started to notice the red and white stains on the carpet, broken shower and safe, bathroom door sort of fixed. Breakfast was not a pleasant experience at all, it is not big enough for the size of the hotel, lots and lots of people walking around looking for tables, no management overseeing the flow of customers, staff moral appeared low, no one was smiling, would pass and not acknowledge you, when trying to attract attention it was like they looked through you and go in a different direction. Food ran out very quickly, all meats, cheeses etc were not covered and I could see the flies landing on it, the queue for omelettes was at least 10mins so big gathered all around where other guests were trying to eat. Pool area, as this is a family hotel was really surprised to see glass being used, 1 time were saw a glass break and a little boy cut his foot and second a wine glass broke and the stem ended up in the pool - no one was asked to leave whilst it was cleaned. This hotel has the making of amazing place to stay so hoping this feedback will help make the tweaks it’s needs.
