Guest Reviews
- Wallace (9/5): -
- Gladys Sofia (9/5): Excelente ubicación. - La ubicación es excelente, en la entrada de la ciudad antigua y muy cerca de parada de autobús y taxis. El personal muy atento y un buen desayuno. Nada. Es necesario considerar que no hay ascensor justamente por estar en el centro.
- Iting (8/5): - 就在老城內Pile Gate旁邊位置很好非常方便
逛累了可以回去休息 沒有電梯要爬四層樓
房間設備少 沒冰箱沒電熱水壺也沒給水
吹風機也超小不好用 有燒焦味
以這價位不太划算

- Marin (10/5): -
- Geraldine Elaine (10/5): Would recommend your place to anyone - We are both over 65 and the directions for self check were clear. Maybe a map to show drop off at main gate and a line to your door. But if we were more tech savvy we could have done that ourselves?

- Uli (8/5): - ein kleines feines Hotel in zentraler Lage! Superfreundlicher Service! die Frühstücksauswahl a la carte etwas begrenzt,
- Sophie (7/5): Bon emplacement ,prix correct, mais attention le petit déjeuner ne correspond pas au standing de l’hôtel - L’emplacement au cœur de la vieille ville Le personnel pas très aimable,personne à la réception quand on est arrivé, petit déjeuner à la carte service très long 45 minutes pour avoir notre assiette pas de possibilité d’avoir de supplément première fois que je vois ça .pas d’ascenseur on étions au troisième étages avec des escaliers assez raides.
- Dinorah (10/5): - La atención
- Pascal (9/5): Top hotel op super lokatie. - Alles, vriendelijk personeel, prima lokatie, top kamers,goed ontbijt!! Klein minpuntje is dat er geen lift aanwezig is.
- Annegret (6/5): Gute Lage, aber für das Gebotene überteuert - Sehr gute Lage am Rande der Altstadt. Wir haten ein Superior Zimmer mit Queensize-Bett reserviert, aber das Zimmer war ausgesprochen klein und das Bett bestenfalls Mittelmaß.
Man bestellt eine von 5 möglichen Frühstücksoptionen, unflexibel und nicht reichhaltig.
Das Personal verläßt das "Hotel" um 15 Uhr.
- Sarah (10/5): - Wonderful location! Very clean, well maintained, and spacious considering it was in the old town.
We actually loved the fact that the hotel is owned by the local high school and students work there to learn the hospitality industry (there are also staff who are their teachers). We were very well taken care of, with a delicious cooked breakfast and cappuccinos every morning.
- hajime (6/5): - 場所が良く便利だった。 電気ポット、冷蔵庫が無く驚きました。持参した即席みそ汁が食べれなかったのが残念
- Jaakko (9/5): Sain, mitä odotin ja halusin. - Hyvä pöytään tarjoiltu aamiainen 3 eri vaihtoehdosta. Sijainti aivan loistava yhden yön majoitukseen tutustuakseen vanhaan kaupunkiin. Majoituksen sijainti todella tärkeä ilman autoa matkustavalle.
- juan (9/5): Un hotel boutique en el corazón de Dubrovnik con excelente servicio - La ubicación del hotel es maravillosa, la habitación a pesar de ser pequeña logra una distribución perfecta, el servicio fue muy bueno y el desayuno excelente El tener que subir la maleta a 3 planta por las escaleras
- Ilse (10/5): Unbeatable location! - Amazing location and all the staff are very nice! So helpful and kind!
- Eric (9/5): -
- Rachele (5/5): Noisy location - Fantastic location and staff Noise was absolutely an issue. Also the temp of the room was limited to 73f so with out a fan it felt warm and with the windows open EXTREMELY NOISY. Plus, while we were able to check in early, the house keeping was still cleaning the room next door at 3-4 pm and we couldn’t have any early sleep because of the noise. It was disappointing
- Gail (9/5): -
- Tibor (10/5): -
- Victor (10/5): Great small hotel in a perfect location. - Great location, comfortable room, no street noise, helpful and friendly staff There is no elevator, but the staff is very helpful and always carry your luggage to your room if you ask.
- JAMES (10/5): Very modern room in a walkup - no lifts - staff were quite friendly and accomodating - Two blocks off the main gate - easy to find. Walk up rooms in an active academy. breakfast served next door with nice outdoor seating area. Nothing
- Sandra (10/5): We didn’t spend too much time at the hotel there’s so much to do in the area. The hotel assisted with restaurant reserva - Great location within the old town, right by the entrance
- Rodrigo (4/5): Tirando a localização uma vergonha - Não tinha um atendente para ajudar com as malas ficamos no último andar , tres andares de escada com 2 malas de 20kg a experiência de hospedagem já começou ruim o ar condicionado não funcionou pensa o verão a noite com o ar aos 25 graus sem falar no café da manhã uma vergonha me apresentaram um cardápio se escolher uma omelete não podia escolher uma fruta ou se pedia um croissant com frutas não tinha o direito de comer uma omelete também pedi um capuccino e fui tomar um expresso não podia pois já tinha tomado o capuccino nunca fui em hotel neste valor cobrando a parte o café da manhã quando na reserva tão regrado para usar uma palavra educada
- Silvio (10/5): -
- Milena (10/5): -
- francoise (9/5): Bien situé - La situation géographique L’accessibilité - pas prévenu par rapport au parking et au prix du parking
- ROS (3/5): Location al di sotto delle aspettative! - Colazione scarsa e a tema. Nessuna variante possibile La pulizia della camera invada da formiche e cambio giornaliero di asciugamani e lenzuola n
- CARMEN (9/5): Genial¡¡¡ - El desayuno estaba muy rico ,el café delicioso ,el chico que nos atendía era muy profesional...Todo estaba limpísimo y el personal era super amable.La ubicación fantástica a 4 metros de la entrada a la calle principal de la ciudad pero a pesar del ruido que había en la calle no se oía nada .estaba muy bien aislada del ruido. Las escaleras ...estabamos en el tercer piso y fue un horror subir y bajar las escaleras,aunque hay que acostumbrarse porque es algo bastante común en Croacia.Si tu hotel está en pleno casco histórico es muy fácil que no haya ascensor.Y luego el desayuno que estaba delicioso pero era un poco escaso ya que te obligan a escoger entre 4 o 5 tipos de desayuno pero son excluyentes.Es decir puedes elegir un desayuno francés con croissant,mermelada ,mantequilla etc pero no puedes tomarte unos huevos revueltos a la vez porque eso forma parte de otro tipo de desayuno.El aprovechamiento del espacio era excesivo en la habitación un poco reducida todo al milimetro....En el baño mucha calor porque estaba el termo del agua caliente y era un poco axfisiante .Pero por lo demás hemos estado muy a gusto
- NATALIA (8/5): -
- zagreb_58 (9/5): It was very pleasant stay, great stuff and great position. - Breakfast could be bit richer. Room could have few more hooks to hang things. Shower door doesn't hold watter good enough.
- Feyoena (9/5): -
- Sofia (10/5): Exactly like in pictures. - I found it was exactly like in the pictures. Clean, good location and perfectly fine. There’s 4 floors, and no elevator. It’s not an issue if you know but just FYI.
- Mirjana (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (9/5): Superb -
- Covey (10/5): We would stay here again. - Location! It’s in the middle of everything!
I loved the included breakfast as well. The air conditioning struggled. You don’t have much control and could only lower it to 74 degrees which is fine during the day but pretty warm for sleeping.
- Rojin (9/5): Superb -
- Gupte (9/5): Luxury in the old town.pricey - Everything is great; but a little over priced
- George (10/5): Exceptional -
- Covey (9/5): I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. I wish the A/C was cooler but it was still small considering the location, clea - The location can’t be any better- it’s in the middle of everything! The included breakfast, comfy beds, blackout curtains, shower- all fantastic! The a/c isn’t great. The centrally controlled so although you have a thermostat in your room, you can’t truly lower it. It runs about 75 degrees. I like my room cooler at night but that’s as cool as it gets.
Others commented on the lack of an elevator- while true, it’s not a major hotel so if you’re needing that you’ll need to look at chain hotels. The country has buildings centuries old and the airbnbs in them are not likely to have an elevator.
- Sam (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was very good. But the most pleasant part of our stay was the young lady who checked us in. I believe her name was Mata (sp?), who met us at the Pile gate and managed our baggage a hundred meters to the hotel entrance, and then single-handedly muscled our 50 lbs suitcase up three flights of steps to our room. She also learned that my spouse's birthday was the day before and prepared a small gift to commemorate it. We would happily stay again at the Akademis Gariste if we knew Mata would be working there. Few hotels in Old Town have elevators for good reason. But that did make things more difficult, especially on checkout.
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Helyne (9/5): Superb - Location Breakfast starts too late. Need 7:30 start time
A/C wasn't cool enough
- Anne (8/5): Very good -
- Mary (8/5): Wonderful clean hotel in central old town Dubrovnik with friendly and helpful staff. - Absolutely perfect location just inside the Pile gate, in a little alleyway so pretty quiet despite being just feet away from the main tourist walkway. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We were able to check in several hours early in both of our reserved rooms!
The room was very clean and modern. The air conditioner did not seem to work properly. The staff showed us how to work it and said it had a three degree celsius leeway warmer or cooler. Yet when he showed it to us the thermostat was already warmer than the maximum set temperature. It continued to get warmer overnight, no matter how we set it. Our friends had the same issue in their room. Thankfully it was not unbearably hot, but warmer than we would have liked the room for comfort and sleeping.
- Elaine (9/5): Superb - Beautiful, great location, helpful and friendly staff Could only have 1 cup of coffee at breakfast, no elevator
- Jo (10/5): Super stay in an amazing location! - Great location
- Cynthia (10/5): Would stay here again!! - The location-the extremely kind and proficient staff- our room was perfect - the breakfasts. We loved this hotel.
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (10/5): Great location, great staff - staff were really friendly and helpful. excellent service at front desk and in the breakfast room. Food was really good.
- Nina (9/5): Amazing location, friendly service, clean comfortable room. - Breakfast was good - we would have liked some fresh fruit to go with it.
The location of the hotel was outstanding. There is nothing I didn't like, but I found the price quite high for such a small room.
- Pam (7/5): Bed way too firm for me. Air circulation lacking; could not open window due to noise and odors and a -
- Sonia (8/5): Excellent location!! But the staff is only there for a very short period of time. If you need anything or anything happe - Excellent location. Staff are only at the hotel until around 3pm.
There is no lift
- Vera (8/5): Overall good stay in Dubrovnik - Excellent location in old town. Newly renovated small hotel Beds too firm, sheets should be softer.
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miranda (8/5): Very good -
- Georgios (9/5): Convenient and relaxing venue, highly recommended! - very welcoming staff, great service and friendly atmosphere.
Spacious clean rooms, with nice modern touches Some flexibility to the breakfast ( e.g. adding a toast, jam, butter) would make it more complete..
- Vicky (9/5): This is a lovely hotel, in a great location. - Wonderful location, very clean, great breakfast and the staff went over and above every day. Stairs to get to the room
- Aleksandre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tammy (5/5): Location is good but that’s about it - Excellent location, breakfast staff were very pleasant We got clean towels once in 5 days, had to ask for them, the rooms are very small, no where to put any belongings in the bathroom, one of the teenagers working there pulled the fire alarm as a prank at 9pm and we had to stand in the pouring rain for an hour with no apologies. No staff on duty after 3 pm, very noisy at night due to teenage staff that appeared to be living there, beds are very hard and bed covers very scratchy.
- Raymond (8/5): A bit disappointing - The hotel is very close to the Pile Gate. Location is fantastic. This is a academic hotel which means staff are majority students being trained in the hotel management business.
Their reception is only up to 3pm and after that time, nobody will be available even to answer inquiries.
There is also no housekeeping on weekends. So our rooms were not made up Saturday and Sunday.
Since we had to leave early in the morning and our room is at the 3rd floor, we had to carry down our luggage 3 flights of stairs without any assistance.
The hotel is nice but not for seniors with joint and medical problems.
- Huang-yin (9/5): I’ll recommend to my friends - Staffs are Amazing! Room is smartly designed. Nothing
- Helen (9/5): Superb -
- Kritika (10/5): Amazing - The host Zilvijka was very very nice.
- Ruby (10/5): Definitely recommend! - The staff were friendly and helpful! The room was clean and spacious. The location was great! I wish the breakfast could be served earlier so I didn’t miss it.
- M (10/5): Exceptional - Everything and everyone !
