Apartment Ljubica Dubrovnik Center

The only real plus was the location. Check-in felt a bit scary because the owner wanted cash even though we'd already paid through the travel agent. The rooms were very old, with broken furniture, no hot water in the shower, and windows at the top of the shower looking into the next room.

I was ready to leave from the moment I checked in. I'd booked a room with a balcony, but was first shown two run-down rooms without one. I had to complain before they showed me the room I'd actually reserved. It was a little better, but still uncomfortable. The furniture is old and needs replacing, the towels are worn and mostly stained from overuse, and the bathroom was tiny, different from the booking site photos, and had no bathtub. It also looked unclean because of its age. There's little privacy since the bathroom is outside the room and the balcony is shared with the next room. Basic appliances were missing, and the ones provided were old and poor quality. I also found a cockroach in the hallway at night. Other places we've stayed offered free laundry, but this one charged 10 euros. The woman who lives there and manages the property is lovely and does what she can, but the owner needs to improve the rooms. I don't think it's worth the money.

Please read this if you're considering a stay here. My boyfriend and I paid for our reservation on April 23, 2025, for a trip on May 3 and 4. When we arrived, the housekeeper/owner asked us to pay the whole amount in cash, saying our original payment would come back to our account in a few days. She called it a precaution in case we didn't show up. I rent an apartment too and know that's not how it works, though I thought maybe the older woman had a different approach. It's now May 14, and the original money still hasn't come back. The property keeps saying it will be refunded, but it hasn't happened. Thankfully, I kept proof of the cash payment. Getting an invoice was difficult, and the woman rolled her eyes when I asked for one. She also wrote down the wrong amount, but I didn't point it out because the difference was only 8€. Sorry this is long, but I don't want anyone else to be charged twice for a mediocre place. I said I would press charges if the money wasn't back by Friday. I hope this helps someone. UPDATE: It's May 23, exactly a month after we paid, and the money is still missing. The bank will refund us, but we'll be taking legal action over what we see as fraud and theft. I strongly recommend that you do not come here under any circumstances. Best wishes.

For the price and convenient location, it was a good place to stay, especially since it's a guest house rather than a hotel. The older women managing the place were kind.
