Hotel Adria

Hotel Adria stands at Radnička ulica 46 in the Gruž district, on the hillside above Dubrovnik's main port in Croatia's Dubrovnik-Neretva region. Its elevated position gives views of the Elafiti islands and across to Lapad Bay, and the Gruž ferry terminal and bus station lie below, which makes the hotel practical for travellers arriving or departing by sea or coach. The Old Town is a few kilometres away by bus or taxi. The hotel has about 118 rooms and is listed by different sources as three or four stars. Rooms come as Sea View Double Rooms, Triple Rooms and Family Rooms at about €90 to €250 per night, and buffet breakfast is included in many rates. A restaurant with sea views serves Mediterranean dishes, and the terrace is the hotel's best feature at sunset. Amenities include wifi and air conditioning. The service character is straightforward and practical, suited to families, ferry travellers heading for the islands and visitors who prefer a quieter residential area to the crowded centre. Gruž has everyday shops, a covered market and local cafes, giving a more local feel than the tourist core. The hill location means a climb from the port, so guests with heavy luggage may prefer a taxi from the ferry. Day trips to Mljet, Korčula and the Elafiti islands depart from the nearby port, and city buses run to Pile and Lapad. Summer is busiest, while spring and autumn bring lower rates and clear views. Rooms facing the sea are worth requesting, as some face the hillside instead.
