City Walls Hostel

This is a great hostel with a lovely team. The negative reviews on here are unfair on this charming and well positioned place to stay. The great team running the hostel are full of local knowledge, information and hints on what to do and see in and out of town. Yes there are stairs to get to the hostel. This is the nature of the town and will be the case anywhere you go in Dubrovnik. Google maps will take you the shortest route which is the steepest route to the hostel. If you follow the city walls around the sides of town to the hostel, there are less stairs, it is not as steep and easier to get to the hostel.

I enjoyed my stay here. The beds need to be updated since they’re old and a little short: I’m 6 feet and was touching the bed frame. Otherwise, the place is clean, it’s quiet at night, the service is friendly and the bedrooms are air conditioned. One of the few hostels where I slept really well. Anyone that complains about the stairs is pretty unreasonable. Most AirBnB apartments and hostels inside and out of Grad will require you to walk up a heavy flight of stairs.

It was a place to sleep and that was about all. Not much atmosphere, spaces were alright. Good location in the old town. Staff were okay, not particularly friendly but not rude either. The “free breakfast” is cornflakes lol. Overall decent stay but would probably look to go somewhere else if i was returning to dubrovnik.

This was the best hostel I stayed in on my trip out of many others across Europe. The rooms are beautifully air conditioned, which is hard to find. There are a lot of stairs as it's a very vertical building but if you're staying in the old town you can't complain 😂 The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful. Specifically, Anya, she showed us the whole town on a map and gave us a tailored guide on restaurants and sites to see. Her recommendations were great and she was so nice outside of that too. Just a realy cozy family vibe that is hard to find with hostels. Would absolutely stay here many more nights and urge any hostel goers to stay here!

Staff is fabulous - helpful and friendly I was in a six bed dorm, had plenty of space, and the bed was comfy enough. The lockers are enormous! The six of us shared one shower, but it didn’t seem to be a problem. The location is nice - in the walls, however it takes a lot of steps to get there. Note that you can find someone at the taxi queue to bring your bags up for you.

City Walls hostel is right in the Old Town, a 5 minute walk (and a lot of steps) from the city gates. Big locker (and will lend a lock too), sockets, reading lights and extra blankets in the room - I felt quite cold (in April) and used the blanket. Some atmosphere downstairs but rooms are nice and quiet. Quite a small hostel.

Service was very good and helpful here. Not 24 hour, but we checked in late and they had everything we needed in order for us since we had notified them. Right by the outer city wall (although no ocean view from the 2nd floor). Rooms were quite clean, staff was helpful and friendly. One of our favorite hostels for sure. Close proximity to a number of restaurants, bars, and sites in the old city in Dubrovnik.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Reception super friendly, giving me tips on where to get food and best things to do in the city, shout-out to Nikolina for this. Room and bathroom really clean. Decor is really aesthetically appealing. Hostel in a great location. 10/10 and would stay again!
