The rooms are pretty basic, but they’re furnished with white pieces, and white linen, so it all seems very welcoming and neat.

Hostel Dubrovnik Budget Accommodation
HostelWorld (*8.0) Map Starts at ($-) for – bed-private**prices are shown for weekdays in Mid-season (August)
Hotel Dubrovnik Budget Accommodation is a typical family hostel, which means you feel right at home here. You can have a rest sitting in the shade of a grapevine and truly feel like one of the locals in this quiet, peaceful area. The furniture is in good shape and very comfortable, and the bathrooms are excellent. But what will really take your breath away is the balcony view.
Another great thing about this hostel is that it offers parking space. Normally, hostels can only direct you to the nearby public parking, which eventually makes your stay pricier than you had planned.
Another piece of advice: the minimum of nights you can book is two, so you’d better bear that in mind.
