Hotel Ivka

Hotel Ivka is a family-run three-star hotel at Ulica od Svetog Mihajla 21 on the Lapad peninsula in Dubrovnik, Croatia's Dubrovnik-Neretva region. It opened in 2005 and has 76 rooms over four floors, a few minutes' walk from the beach and the Lapad promenade. The Old Town is a bus or taxi ride away, around fifteen to twenty minutes by city bus. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Rooms with Balcony at about €70 to €180 per night. The hotel has the Konavle restaurant, which takes its name from the nearby Konavle valley south of Dubrovnik and serves regional dishes, along with a bar, free parking, wifi and air conditioning. The service character is personal and friendly, typical of a family-run property, and it suits couples, small families and independent travellers who want a quiet residential base with parking. Because it was built in the 2000s, the building is modern and straightforward, without historic features, and the emphasis is on comfort and value. Guests with balconies can enjoy morning coffee in a calm neighbourhood, and nearby shops and cafes make short stays easy. The Lapad beaches are a short walk, and the buses to Pile and Gruž pass nearby, so island ferries and Old Town visits are manageable without a car. Free parking is useful for those driving along the coast or planning trips to Konavle, Ston and Montenegro. Summer is the busiest season, while spring and autumn bring lower rates. Rooms with balconies are the most requested and are best reserved ahead of time.
