Okay Stay
Bus stop right across from hotel to get to old town. Very expensive considering hotel lacks many modern amenities. The AC in our room did not work well. I expected slightly more for a 4 star hotel. Wouldn’t stay again in the future.
Uvala Hotel in Lapad - Lovely!!
What can we say, only what a great hotel the Uvala is in Lapad. Staff are lovely and the food is great! Rooms clean and would recommend it.
Not what I have expected to get for the money we paid for stay
This hotel is definitely not a 4-star hotel, but somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.
- Location – The hotel is right on the road, so you can hear all the cars and buses just outside your window. To get to the sea, you have to cross the road and go down what feels like millions of stairs to the beach. Sunbeds cost €15, and if you arrive after 10:00, you probably won’t find one available.
- View – Yes, there is a sea view, but it comes with a lot of noise from the nearby construction site. Sometimes it’s so loud that you can barely hear each other.
- Hotel/room – The room is spacious but old and outdated. Yes, there are mirrors, but there are no power sockets nearby, so you can’t use the hairdryer conveniently. Yes, there is a bathtub, but it is very high and difficult to get in and out of. There is a TV, but the regular channels don’t work properly, and when we tried casting, the internet connection made it difficult to watch anything. There is a fridge, but the drinks don’t get cold because it simply doesn’t cool properly. There is air conditioning, but it is noisy and old, more like a fan than proper air conditioning.
- Restaurant – Breakfast is good, but dinner is nothing special. For €26, you get a simple buffet that feels more like something you would expect in a 2–3-star hotel.
- Spa and pool – They are okay, but also quite old. And, as mentioned above, you can hear the construction noise from the nearby site.
The big advantage is the bus stop right next to the hotel, with direct buses to the city centre.
Great location
We had a great stay with friends at Hotel Uvala. Good location. Bus to Old Town stops right outside hotel. Only a few minutes walk to Sunset Beach and to the promenade with plenty bars and restaurants. Cave bar is a must. Hotel very clean but rooms dated. Very high bath side - would be difficult for less mobile people to manage. Balcony enclosed and dark. We had booked a sea view room and were disappointed with the view from a level 2 room as most of view was tall trees. Pool was cold which was lovely in boiling weather. Not much room for sunbeds round the pool resulting in not enough beds for those who wanted them. Staff friendly. Lovely terrace. Food at breakfast very enjoyable.
Good hotel in an excellent position to explore
The hotel is situated in Lapad area close to Dubrovnik old town. Standard Sea view rooms at the front have a beautiful view across the inlet and are worth the extra cost. On our deal buffet breakfast and dinner were included with a wide choice of hot and cold options and these were regularly replenished and kept fresh. Bedrooms were were serviced daily and our one suggestion would be that the shower over the bath is difficult to access with screens partly covering it. If the hotel is full it can be difficult to find sun loungers available at the pool. The local bus service has a stop right outside which is handy for the trip into the town. I'd highly recommend this hotel.
