Hotel 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.

Friendly and professional staff. Clean and consistent room with modern design.
Great to take the local bus to Old Town if you prefer walking.

We stayed there only one night, walking distance to restaurants and the free public beach. Nice area, staff very friendly, breakfast was amazing with a big variety of food. I highly recommend it!

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

Friendly staff, brand new hotel, fantastic breakfast and dinner!

The receptionist Ivania ( i think i got the wrong name ) was super friendly and very informative .
The hotel was located in the right place .

Modern hotel however air conditioning is preset by front desk. We requested to lower the temperature however it was denied and would not go below 24 c according to the thermostat.

A lovely hotel with a great dining area. Huge breakfast selection, including vegetarian options. The room was small but had everything you would need. A good sized balcony with seating.

Beautiful newly renovated hotel that is very accessible to most attractions. Great service and friendly staff. Ivana was super nice and knowledgeable, she provided us with all the information we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Everything was great. Totally revomendable

Mold on walls in the room!

Beyond my expectations in every way. Its such a nice hotel and a great location. Absolutely loved it.

We stayed at the Hotel Ivka Dubrovnik for our 10th year wedding anniversary. The hotel is newly refurbished with modern rooms and en-suites. The staff were helpful and helped us navigate the Lapad area, where and which bus to take (bus 6 takes you straight to the Old Town gate). Easy 10mins walk to Lapad beach which is stone/pebble beach and other shops, the cave bar and the promenade with plenty of restaurants bars and cafe to choose from. We had a half board and the breakfast and dinner blew us away. Probably the best half board meals we had. No free drinks (water or juice would have been good on evening that you don’t want a drink) on the dinner so had to buy every time but a good way to try wine from the area. They had a local wine maker who supplied the house wines Ivka (red) and Adria (white) we liked the white wine better as we also preferred the fish dishes on the evenings. Plenty enough of options where you don’t get overwhelmed and the food feels and tastes well made. The breakfast bar had a lot of options from cooked ones, cold cuts and cheese, fruits and yoghurts. Coffee, teas and juice as per. Great atmosphere in the mornings and the sun shines at the direction of the restaurant. Rooms were new and clean, had one clean and appropriately done. Basic, but all you really need.

Lovely, newly renovated hotel in Lapad. Our triple room was very spacious and extremely clean. The breakfast was great and it had a good selection of items. We also had lunch there one day and it was lovely. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from Sunset Beach and all of the restaurants and bars. There is a bus stop nearby for the no 6 bus, which goes into the old town every 10 minutes. It is also near Gruz Port. This is a wonderful hotel that I would highly recommend.

Hotel Ivka is a really nice hotel in Lapad. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Breakfast is excellent with great choice and variety. 25 min walk into Dubrovnik old town and it’s actually lovely to be outside the bustle. 10 min walk to nearby Lapad with restaurants, cafes…
Very thankful to the lady at the front desk who helped us check in late at night due to difficulties at the apartment we had booked. She was lovely and so helpful.
Would come back again!

The entire experience was lovely- including comfortable beds and clean rooms; excellent breakfast (exceptionally fresh food) and surprisingly relaxing music in the lobby. The staff was consistently friendly, responsive, professional and helpful. In particular, Ivanka, Rafella, Zdanka, and Ivica were welcoming. I would highly recommend IVKA.

After parting from a group tour I stayed at this hotel for 3 more nights. Brand new hotel (or recent remodel), very quiet easy access to public transportation. Helpful staff, good verity of breakfast items.

We, 3 senior citizen couples would have loved to stay in the old town, but chose to stay in Lapad side as we didn't want to go up and down staircases !
Hotel Ivka was good for us. It had a lift. It is a bit away from the old town but we were 6 of us together. So we took taxis to the old town. But to go to nearby islands this is closer.
The hotel was well maintained, very clean, neat and comfortable for our 3 night stay with included breakfast that we booked through Booking.com.
It had a kettle and coffee and tea sachets.
The bedside lights were good for reading without disturbing my husband.
There was space to keep the luggage and chairs and a small desk. Our rooms had balconies facing the road.. with a table and 2 chairs . We could also see the mountain in the distance.
We did have a problem with the water mixer in the bath room and the air conditioner. But it was immediately sorted out by the staff who attended to it promptly. We really found the staff very obliging, kind and hospitable.
On the first day we walked a bit to the left of the hotel and took a staircase to reach the road. That was a steep incline indeed. So we took a taxi to the old town. He charged us Euro 25.
But when we returned back at night straight to the hotel the charge was only Euro 8.50. A good and honest man ,so we decided to go with Steve for our full day trip the next day and the following day !
We wanted to have dinner at the hotel but they had only the buffet. As it was not feasible for us at that time. We had to go out which was a bit of a bother as we were tired . We had to walk downhill to the main road where there were a few shops and a small supermarket. We bought croissant, chips, yogurt and bananas for dinner! Of course if we had walked further we would have come to the harbour side.
Then it was an uphill climb back on the road to the hotel. . Do be careful at the corners as they come driving down at high speed!
Breakfast was plenty with a vast variety of cheese, pastries, fruits, salad and the usual breads . There was choice of cooked meats and cold meats, grilled veggies and eggs.
The dining staff too was very friendly.
We only wish we could have ordered dinner there... at least allowed a choice of the items in the buffet.
But on the whole, we were very happy with our stay at Hotel Ivka.
