Rooms Raic

We were met by the owner and welcomed to our beautiful apartment overlooking the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Very clean and nothing we requested was a problem. We would highly recommend, transfer was also organised to the airport.

The taxi driver told us we would have a picture postcard view and he was correct. We had a room opening onto the balcony with views over the old city and the island of Lokrum. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were modern and immaculate. The shared kitchen allowed us to have breakfast every morning on the terrace and drinks in the evening with a fabulous view. It is very close to the old city and a public beach. The many stairs going up the hill provided us with a good work out when we returned from the old city. Other travellers may wish to take a taxi back up the hill.

Booked Rooms Raic for a two night stay in Dubrovnik and opted for a loft room to avoid the communal shared balcony on the level below where the other four rooms are located. Location: As everyone says it’s up many stairs so it’s an easy descent to the old town, but a long way up. If you’re somewhere a bit further out like Lapad it’s best to get an Uber. There’s not a great deal nearby other than old town which is so expensive, overcrowded and poor value for money. A few hours stroll there will suffice. If returning to Dubrovnik, I’d probably opt for a hotel nearer Lapad which is much calmer, cheaper, has decent beaches and out of the chaos of old town yet still accessible. Rooms: Being in the attic there were more stairs of course. The usable space was pretty limited due to to low ceilings, but to be honest it’s too small and you can’t easily access both sides of the bed. There was a small kitchen area with two hobs, a pan and utensils and a fridge. Again it was very tight to use. Hot water was problematic in the mornings too, so it felt it wasn’t great value for €116 per night. Service: We were greeted by the lady who runs the rooms. It’s essentially six rooms above the property that the owners live at beneath. She was friendly enough and spoke some English. They preferred cash payment too yet put a hold for the monies on the card for around 14 days which was annoying. Overall: Not the best value for money (although noting everything is expensive in this town). The attic room had a good enough view of you stuck your head out the window, but obviously you’re not going to do this often. The shared balcony was ok, but felt like we’re intruding on the guests staying on that floor as it’s below. They’ve got two attic rooms, but given the limited space they should’ve only built one with more space. The lack of hot water was not very good either. I probably wouldn’t return to Dubrovnik anyway as it’s too hectic and expensive, but if I did I wouldn’t come back to Rooms Raic if I’m honest.

This was one of the nicest places we staying Croatia. The room and shared kitchen is excellently equipped and finished. The view of the old city and sea was spectacular. The host is very nice and hospitable. We would highly recommend it. The only caution is you need to be ready to climb stairs to get from sea level (i.e., the old town) to Room Raic's location - but that is why the view is so great. You are up high looking toward the sea.

This apartment is situated in a great area near the sea, and the old town walls, a very brief walk to restaurants, ( bit of a climb back up after) groceries and a bakery as well as the cable car. Best of all is the amazing views from the common area and balcony. perfect for a stay of 8 couples, we each had our own room and bathroom with a shared kitchen and balcony. Would highly recommend for your stay in Dubrovnik

Enjoyed the comfort and great location of our hotel. Kitchen afforded us to prepare breakfast and sandwiches. View of old town and the Adriatic Sea from our hotel balcony is awesome ! The Banje Beach is a few minutes walk down from our hotel.

The room was nice and very clean. We were in an attic room, which we could look through the sunroof (it opened so you could stand through it). Amazing view! The hostess was nice. We were able to park just outside. To get to Old Town, It was ~250 steps down a couple staircases. When exiting Old Town, there are taxis right outside, so we took the 15 euro taxi instead of climbing 250 steps.

Great hostess, very clean, beautiful views. A lot of elevation if you are on foot but that’s the price for a stunning view🙂
