Hôtel Ivka

"Hotel lvka is a lovely hotel. It is family owned, and as such on the smaller side, which we find attractive, because things are generally quieter, more relaxed, and personal. No large crowds in the dining room or at reception. The staff goes above and beyond to help you and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our room and the en-suite were spacious, comfortable, and clean. The lounge is a relaxing space to enjoy a drink from the bar. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and so is the dinner buffet (25 Euros). They also offer a good and fairly priced selection of a la carte items. One thing to be mindful of is accessibility to the nearest bus stops to/from Old Town Dubrovnik. To catch the bus to Old Town Dubrovnik, the bus stop is an uncomplicated 5-minute walk away with a slight uphill grade. Returning from Old Town Dubrovnik, the bus stop is about a 10+ minute walk away, depending on your mobility, with a couple intersections to be negotiate and, again, with an uphill grade the entire way to the hotel. For the return trip from the Pile Gate at the Old Town, be prepared to wait at the bus stop for a bit, as busses fill up quickly and you might have to wait for the next one. This is especially so during peak hours, even at the end of October, which officially is the shoulder season. Other than that, there is nothing that will keep you from enjoying your stay at Hotel Ivka."

"Rooms were reasonably spacious (by European standards), comfortable beds, and clean. Some rooms have a balcony which is nice. Extensive breakfast buffet which was very nice, and included in price of the room. Very good location - lots of restaurants in walking distance and can even walk to Old Town or take the bus. Very reasonable pricing and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Would absolutely stay here again."

"Really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the hotel ivka. As a family of 4 the room/ suite was absolutely perfect, clean nice decor. Fridge and separate beds for all 4 of us ( a must with teenagers in tow) . The breakfast was great with good selection of everything. Location wise the direct area around the hotel was slightly scruffy but within a few minutes walk you can swim at lovely lapad bay in various places and there are lots of nice restaurants there too. Also beautiful walk over the cliff top. Busy but easy bus journey to old town dubrovnik and easy walk even with suitcases to the port for our next stop. Overall I would highly recommend as it's a perfect base for a few nights in dubrovnik and for onward travel to the islands"
