Kings Landing Hostel Old Town

Kings Landing Hostel Old Town is a hostel at Boškovićeva 15, in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Croatia, close to the Jesuit Stairs. The street climbs from the Gundulić Square area toward the Jesuit Church, in the southern part of the walled city, and the Stradun, the harbour and the cathedral are a few minutes away on foot. Like all of the Old Town, the building is reachable only on foot, and the stone lanes include steps. The hostel occupies a historic townhouse, and the interior has been adapted with modern fittings for budget guests. Accommodation includes single rooms, four-bed dorms and six-bed dorms, and each dorm has its own toilet and shower, which is unusual for a hostel and avoids shared-bathroom queues. Private rooms are also offered. Free internet, lockers and air conditioning are provided, and the lockers help guests secure belongings during sightseeing. There is no restaurant on site, but Gundulić Square hosts a morning market, and the nearby streets have many cafes and restaurants. There is no pool, spa or gym, so the appeal lies in the position and price. Service is informal, with staff able to suggest city walls timing, boat trips and Game of Thrones filming locations, which gave the hostel its name. Rates are modest for the Old Town, commonly about €30-55 for a dorm bed and €70-150 for a private room, with July and August the dearest. The hostel can be contacted on +385 95 522 2555 or via thehosteldubrovnik.com. Backpackers, solo travellers and small groups who want to stay inside the walls, with their own bathroom in the dorm, typically choose it. Evenings in the Old Town are lively, especially in summer.
