Independent hostel in the Gruž district, a bus ride from the Old Town. One listing gives the street as Andrije Hebranga, so confirm the entrance before arriving.
My Way Hostel Dubrovnik is an independent hostel at Podgorska ulica 33 in the Gruž district of Dubrovnik, Croatia, on the slope uphill from the port. The Gruž area is a working neighbourhood with a market, cafes, shops and the main ferry quay and bus station, and the Old Town is a few kilometres away by city bus, which takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes. One listing gives the street as Andrije Hebranga, so guests should confirm the entrance with the hostel before arriving. The hostel is outside the tourist centre, so the atmosphere is local and quiet compared with the walled city, and prices reflect that. Accommodation includes dorm beds and private rooms, suiting solo travellers, friends and couples, and wifi and a common area are provided for socialising and planning trips. There is no restaurant on site, but the Gruž market and neighbourhood cafes and bakeries offer inexpensive food nearby, and a supermarket is in walking distance. There is no pool, spa or gym. The location is convenient for travellers arriving or leaving by ferry or coach, and for those taking island trips to the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet or Korčula from the Gruž quay. Service is informal, with staff able to advise on buses, tours and day trips to Mostar, Kotor or Cavtat. Rates are low, commonly about €25-45 for a dorm bed and €60-120 for a private room, with July and August at the top. Further information is on mywayhostels.com. Budget travellers who accept a bus ride into the Old Town in exchange for lower prices, and who value a hill-side location with bay outlooks, often choose it. The climb up from the port is steep in places, which is worth remembering with luggage.
