Berkeley Hotel

We really enjoyed our seven night stay at the Berkeley Hotel from the moment we arrived. On arrival we were greeted by Elma who booked us in and gave us a warm welcome before recommending somewhere to eat nearby as we had arrived quite late. The room was a very good size with a large clean bed, a small balcony with table and two chairs and a well laid out bathroom with walk in shower. We received two small complimentary bottles of wine on arrival and put them in the rooms good sized refrigerator. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent with a good choice of food including cereals, yoghurts, fruit, cheese, meat and bread as well as hot food including sausage, eggs and bacon. The breakfast staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, Lidija deserving special mention for remembering what drinks we liked and even what size cups/mugs we liked them in. The hotel is located around 40 minutes steady walk from the Old Town but is on the route of No.3 and No.8 local busses (a €2.50 ride each way) and was a short walk from a supermarket where you could buy snacks and alcoholic beverages for your room at good prices. On our last day we were not due to be picked up for the airport until 17:45 so the evening before Elma spoke to her manager (Maria I think) and organised for us to use the room for the full day, she really did go above and beyond. I would highly recommend The Berkeley Hotel for your visit to Dubrovnik, we found it met all our needs and more.

Maria and Elma were very professional. We were able to stow our luggage for several hours while we went out for more sightseeing while waiting for our ride to the airport. Breakfast was included and was very good with Mediterranean salads, cold cuts, cheeses and desert cakes. Nice rooms. No microwave though. Some distance from the City walls. Used Dubrovnik pass which afforded us free bus rides and entrance to city wall museums. Dubrovnik pass for 24 hours was worth it. One downside - the hotel is uphill and we had to navigate alley steps to get to the hotel and we had heavy luggages up the steps. It was torture for us. Winter would have been terrible as Dubrovnik is hilly and it could be slippery.

Everything was great. People were super friendly. Only complaint I had was they had air turned off n heat turned on for Winter season. I had to sleep with balcony door open to cool room down some. Otherwise, the location was great. Would recommend!

the breakfast menu was fresh and hot. very good
