Stevi was very chatty and helpful. Use the no.6 bus just at the bottom of the road and turn right. Takes you straight to the old town. Leave early to miss the hordes from the cruise boats

Anna guesthouse is amazing I can’t recommend it enough !!! Etienne is a very nice person who I do everything he can to help you . He is a very honest person and told us what places are good to eat local good food not too expensive and avoid some touristy overpriced places , he also recommended the Dubrovnik pass that was so helpful and cost-saving and on our last day our flight was late in the evening but he let us keep out luggages at the guesthouse as we had a tour booked and when we came back in the evening at 7pm he even offered for us to take a shower before going to the airport even if the check out was supposed to be 10am!! The location is perfect 3 minutes walk to a bus stop and it will take you in about 10/15 minutes to Dubrovnik old town , on the other side you only are 10 minutes walk to lapad beach which is beautiful. There are also cafes supermarkets and bakeries around . Also very good value . Clean room with shower and toilet, there was even various international adaptators in case we needed it ! Can’t recommend enough thank you so much Etienne 10/10

Very comfortable bed, lovely clean room. Welcoming and knowledgable host. Just be aware that it's up the top of a steep hill so unless you are very mobile, use the number 6 bus. 5 min walk to restaurants and bars and a 10 min walk to the beach. Good value for money

A safe and comfortable guesthouse
Ana and her family are wonderful hosts. They even sort out my transport to port when I need to leave at 6 am. I am fortunate to have a room with kitchen and fridge. They advised me what to see, where to eat and get good discounts. They even have an iPhone charger to charge phone if you forget yours. Lovely guesthouse. Would stay there again. Note there is no shampoo or conditioner. Please bring ur own. It is very safe and easy to get to using bus. Please note lots of stairs and no lift if u need accessibility. Easy to go to local supermarket to stock up.

Good value but perhaps not suitable for all.
The lodgings are located within about a mile from a nice beach. However, the place is located high on a hill, approximately 150 m above sea level. Older people might find that accessing the Beach by several stairs without a car might be challenging.

Great value, clean comfortable and with parking.
Good location for us as we had a rental so parking was necessary. I have to agree with the recent reviews as our stay was very pleasant and comfortable. Steve was an excellent host and gave us some essential tips which helped us tremendously. We walked to old town after arrival then used the Dubrovnik card which I strongly recommend if staying for 2-4 days.

You get what you pay for!
Overall it wasn't bad, but there were a few things that were not as described. I was under the impression that I had reserved a room with kitchenette, and I was given a room with a microwave and a grilled cheese griddle. The hotel description says tempurpedic mattress, could not be more far from the truth. Also says onsite laundry, nope. It says tour booking assistance, they'll point on a map what area you can look for assistance. Location was close to bus stop, so easy to get around, but there are stairs, and a steep walk up about 8 minutes. The people were very very nice, but keep in mind the above when booking :)

Lovely studio rooms with use of a secluded terrace
We had two studio rooms next door to each other with use of the terrace where we could sit and eat. Very quiet location within a 10 minute walk down to the beach, shops and restaurants. The rooms were clean with a small en-suite shower room. The studio rooms included a microwave, fridge,sink, toaster, kettle and two ring electric hob so good for making our own meals when we wanted to. Very comfortable beds and everything clean and tidy. We had fresh satsumas in each room and then the owner kindly gave us some lovely homemade apple dessert.

Comfortable and spacious
We booked the design apartment which is next door to villa anna and owned by neighbours. The apartment is equipped with all you need and has a very modern feel. The location is up some steps from the main tourist area where there are many restaurants, shops, post office etc. The walk down to the sea is to the harbour in one direction where tour boats operate and a footpath past some pebble beaches and clubs in the other.

A sweet place to stay
The room we stayed in had everything we needed and was part of the owners house. It's in a great location for getting to and from the old town. The apartment is also only a 3-5min walk into the centre of the new town where there are lots of restaurants and beaches. The owners of the apartment were really friendly and helpful - they made our stay much nicer.

Amazing hosts
The hosts were friendly and settled us into the apartment with drinks, snacks and loads of great advice on everything we needed to get the most out of our stay in Dubrovnik. The apartment was well equipped and the sofa bed was comfortable. The wifi and a/c worked well and the apartment was clean and spacious. It was well situated for local restaurants with a 5-10 min walk down several flights of steps. At check-out, the hosts provided us with further advice on directions for our onward journey, even phoning a friend to check on traffic. The advice paid off and we had an excellent journey. Would highly recommend.

I can't speak highly enough of my stay at Anna Guesthouse. The owners were so warm and accommodating, even offering to pick me up from the bus station and making sure everything was comfortable. I had a private room which was extremely clean, so comfortable, and everything smelled amazing! The guesthouse is a 45 minute walk from both the bus station and the old town. There are also buses that run consistently and pick up outside the hotel. It was quiet and night which was great. Lapad beach is a 5 minute walk and so are beach restaurants and bars. Can't recommend this place enough! The owners are fantastic and the stay was perfect!

Away from Throngs of Tourists
The location was in a quiet, hilly neighborhood above Lapad. A nice restaurant and cafe walking street below. Close to a beach. The bus to Old Town is very convenient. My single room was clean. Bathroom had good hot water. Bring your own shampoo. Bed was comfortable enough. Manager took me to and from the bus station. He is a bit talkative but means to be helpful. No breakfast is available so you don't get to see any of the other guests. I was there three nights and never saw another guest. Good value for the price.

A fabulous stay
The guesthouse is located at a very convenient location to bus stop, shops and restaurants. I was given a very luxurious room which was a suit with kitchen, living room, bath room and a bed room in very nominal price. Stjepo, the owner, is very helpful and he picked me from the bus station for free and offered to drop at airport also. He goes out of the way to help his guests. I would certainly recommend this place for a price well paid off.

Nice apartment at the top of a hill with amenities a short distance away. Lovely stroll down to the sea with resturants and bars galore. Very chatty host, wanted to tell us everything before we'd even got our bags out of the car. Do not follow Satnav to the apartment, it tries to take you up lots of steps!

Comfy, quiet, convenient for down town
We stayed for 3 nights and arrived very late on the first night from Split. Stjepo the host was understanding and greeted us on arrival regardless, top man! We drove and the GPS took us a weird route so beware! Best to go via main road past the roundabout and up the hill, then turn left up a mini slope. Bed was very comfy room setup was good with all kitchen essentials. One downer is there was no shower curtain which meant water sprayed everywhere. Bathroom was in need of a refresh I feel. But really enjoyed the stay in Dubrovnik!

Very interesting place!
The name of the hotel is also Villa Era. The building is new and in good condition. Aircondition is fine. Location is ok, but you have to take many many steps to get there. Bus stop is quite near. Hotels.com said, cleaning everyday. It was once and we stayed 9 nights!!! Scheets changed once too!And we have to ask it many times.No reseption, the staff man was somewhere have to call by your own phone. No tikets anywhere. No microwave and kitchen thinks for example frying pan was very bad.One key. The staff was friendly and funny, but he spoke one hour when he started about Kroatia or taxes or something. In the end it was hard to get receipt. You cant use bank card.He gave us the transport to airport cheap, maybe for excuse.

overall, was a nice, comfortable stay, and the owner was very responsive to our requests. Minor niggles I would say, apartment was a bit far from old town, and the cooking stove exhaust was full of dirt. Owner can be very talkative at times, but is really friendly, and was kind enough to pick us up and drop us back to the bus stop to the airport

The best stay during my holidays in 2014. I couldn't believe that I got not only stay for only €30 per night but transfer from and in to bus station was included in the price. And owner of the property provided all information that any tourist would be required. And accommodation was nice, spacious double room with kitchen facilities, and shared terrace. By all means great place.

Rooms high on a Hill.
Large house converted into several rental rooms. I stayed in one of two lower floor rooms with kitchen facilities and a pleasant outside patio with table and chairs. Dividing walls rather thin thus did not get much rest due to noisy adjoining room guests. Owner very helpful -going out of his way to oblige. Yes he was chatty but information given was beneficial for any tourist visiting for first time. Locale is a little outside but close to beach promenade with plenty of bars and restaurants. However one needs to be fit as the house is at the top of a hill with some 60 steps leading up to it and rather difficult to navigate the quaint steep alley ways after dark.

We had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik - were really happy with the Anna guesthouse - and delighted to have such an enthusiastic and helpful host: Stjepo (Stevie). The recommendations were comprehensive and invaluable and the 'insider tips' made it easy to navigate the sea of tourists that descend on Dubrovnik on the late Summer - thanks man!

Eager to please
Rooms drastically need overhauling. Walls were a horrible pink colour that felt oppressive. Bed spread was hideous 70s monstrosity. Mattress desperately, desperately needed replacing - it was so soft I nearly rolled off it the first time I sat on it. Disappointing. Even if they just replaced the mattresses, bed spread and painted the walls a neutral colour it would make a huge difference. The mattress was biggest problem, but as I was on my own I could sleep in the middle of the double bed where it hadn't entirely lost any spring whatsoever yet. Room equipped with microwave, fridge, and plastic cutlery/crockery. But no hairdryer because people steal them apparently (tho' you can borrow one if you go and ask for it). Free bus station pick up / drop off when you arrive/leave. But you can't get their email address from expedia/their website. They emailed me a few days before I was due to arrive to arrange (was surprised they left it so late tho', other places contacted me much earlier). Provided lots of good info on making most of visit, explained municipal buses and pointed out which stop to get off at for the b&b, went thru tourist map with me, pointed out supermarkets, explained best times to visit places to avoid crowds, etc. Very keen to provide info and advice, tho did talk quite a lot. Location wasn't too bad once you know how/where municipal buses run. Short bus ride to old town, which is very simple, and the buses run late into night.

Lovely clean apartments (we had two), well located for the lovely nearby beach and access to the old town. The manager collected us from the airport and was a source of excellent advice to improve our experience of Dubrovnik. Overall, this is very good accommodation which offers excellent value for money, with the added bonus of a very helpful and pleasant manager. Highly Recommended!
