City Walls Hostel

La ubicación en la ciudad vieja es bastante buena, aunque no cómoda por los escalones. Por otro lado, Francisco fue muy amable desde mis preguntas previas por mensaje y también durante mi estadía.

La ubicación está en la parte alta de la ciudad vieja, de manera que hay que subir unos 150 escalones con equipaje.

It’s close to everything, it’s a nice old house, it’s quite as you can’t hear anyone outside

If you need to leave your luggage they will charge you 👎🏼

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the location was in a nice, quiet area of the old town. I was in a six person mixed dorm and myself and one other girl got to be in a more enclosed area behind a wall that separated two bunks from the other four. They provide you with a free lock (with security deposit) to be able to lock up your individual closet which is nice.

Although the location was in a nice area, getting to it being on the other side of the town was quite rough. I followed the hostels instructions for the easiest route but there were still loads of stairs to get up in order to reach the hostel. Overall Dubrovnik has stairs everywhere, but for convenience I may have stayed lower and more central in the area next time. Also, I haven't stayed in a hostel where the bunks do not have curtains or outlets within each bed, so I would've appreciated that sense of privacy more that comes with the curtains.

The location was decent, near most spots in the old town. Everything was clean and well prepared.

The hostel has only one bathroom for six beds on the first floor, which is clearly insufficient. When I took a shower on Friday night, there was no hot water left. I was assigned the top bunk, and unfortunately there were no power outlets nearby, which made charging my phone quite inconvenient. Most hostels nowadays use electronic access systems, which are far more practical. Here, you’re forced to carry a physical key and pay a security deposit just to do so, which feels completely unnecessary and frankly illogical. One last observation: it’s understandable when hostels charge for a locker or dedicated storage space after check-out. But charging guests just to leave their luggage at the front desk makes no sense either.
