Hotel Ivka

Brilliant hotel right by Lapad. Best part of Dubrovnik is a stones throw away and easy transport or even walking distance to town. Clean hotel, friendly staff and a truly amazing breakfast to kick start your day! Will be back!

Enjoyed staying here for 2 nights. Receptionist was very welcoming and helped us checked in/out easily. Room was clean and big, and had a balcony view as expected. Buffet breakfast starts early and lots of food to choose from! Only downside of this hotel is the location as it is far from the old town and most restaurants although it is close to the beach. Will recommend this hotel especially if you will be driving around Dubrovnik.

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was excellent, great choice. Located out of town, walk to Old Town approx 40 mins but good bus service nearby which made it very easy. Room was clean, slightly dated, corner shower was a bit small. Hotel was quiet and we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel Ivka is a wonderful hotel all around! Hotel Ivka is located in the New Town, 2 km removed from Dubrovnik's Old Town/city walls. Old Town is over priced and full of tourists, making this a quiet and an ideal place to retreat to after a long day of sightseeing. There are many restaurants nearby the hotel, as well as a small fruit shop (30 metres from the hotel) and a small supermarket (about 150 metres from the hotel). I could find everything I needed for a comfortable stay nearby to the hotel. I walked to and from the Old Town (just over 2 km on foot), but bus number 6 will take you to the Old Town if you prefer to use public transport. The cost of the bus is under 2 Euro, you can purchase a ticket on the bus or at a little kiosk outside the bus, and the bus ride takes about 10 minutes. The bus stop is only 100-200 metres from the hotel. This hotel is very busy, receiving large tour groups every day. However, staff were very efficient with the check-in process. Staff were professional, courteous and were there to answer any questions you have. The reception offers a city/tourist map also. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar. I didn't use either, so I cannot comment on the quality or pricing. Rooms were very modern and nicely decorated. There were two twin beds in my room, which for me wasn't a problem. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bed linen felt clean, almost brand new. The firmness of the mattress and pillows were perfect for me! The rooms are on the smaller side, but, I had plenty of room to navigate, traveling only with a small backpack. The room came equipped with a desk, a chair, two bed side tables, a large luggage storage cabinet with hangers, and even had its own outdoor/private patio with a table and two chairs! The view from the hotel is nothing to write home about, but it was nice to have the option to sit outside in your own space should you choose. The bathrooms were clean and modern! Smartly designed, with ample space to move around. Ample towels were provided - 2 hand towels, 2 large bath towels and a floor mat. Towels were fresh, fluffy and felt brand new! Toiletries and necessities were restocked every day by housekeeping, including toilet paper, hand soap in dispenser above the sink, and in shower body/hair gel. The only other amenities provided were 2 shower caps and a couple of mugs in the room. Appreciated the enclosed shower. Water pressure and temperature were both great! There was no fridge nor was there an electric kettle, however it wasn't a problem for me. They would have been a nice perk! Air conditioning was in good working order, but, note that it is centrally controlled. You cannot adjust the temperature in your room yourself, and so it tends to be on the cooler in the room. The blanket on the bed was on the thicker side, so this kept me warm overnight. Wifi worked, but it was extremely spotty. Maybe it was just the floor I was on, but the wifi signal cut in and out. There was a flatscre

Breakfast was good but buffet dinner not so. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Bus stop was only few minutes’ walk away but always difficult to board.

When we first came in to the room we noticed that in the balcony there was somebody’s underwear. Eventually staff cleaned it. The air conditioner was working but it could not be turned off or adjusted and it made a loud noise. We informed the staff and finally we were directed to use the air conditioning by turning the fuse on and off. Room was ok and the breakfast was good. We were able to keep our luggage at the hotel after check-out, which was nice.
