Hotel Lapad

During our stay at Hotel Lapad, my husband and I had the privilege of attending the most wonderful evening of music, history, food and culture. There were only five of us there, which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. We were introduced to a wonderful young pianist, Ivana Jelača whose knowledge, warmth and extraordinary musical talent completely captivated us. Her mother, a historian, also joined us and Ivana took us on a journey through the history of the hotel, Dubrovnik and Croatia. What made the evening truly magical was the music. She played pieces dating from the 1600s right through to the 20th century, allowing us to hear the changing musical landscape alongside the history of the country and the hotel. There were also traditional drinks and sweets associated with the different periods—a beautiful rose liqueur, candied almonds, figs and orange peel, and little traditional pastries. It wasn't simply something to watch; we were experiencing the history through music, stories, tastes and conversation. At one point, listening to the piano, I genuinely had goosebumps. I found myself imagining a garden in 17th-century Croatia, surrounded by the sounds and atmosphere of another time. That is something I will remember for a very long time. My husband and I have travelled to many places, but this was one of those unexpected experiences that becomes part of the story you take home with you. Thank you to both of these wonderful women for sharing their knowledge, their culture and their music with us. You didn't simply tell us about Croatia's history—you made us feel as though we had briefly stepped inside it. An absolutely beautiful and unforgettable evening. ❤️

We stayed at the Lapad for 3 nights after 7 night cruise with TUI Arrived to the hotel about 10ish.We thought we would need to wait for room being prepared for about 13.00. Room wasn't available until almost 15.00. Contact number for TUI no other information available. Rooms a good size with enough storage and wardrobe space,coffee & Tea making facilities and a fridge in room .located within the annexe of hotels very clean comfortable beds very stylish bathroom. Excellent range of gluten free at breakfast and a good selection for dinner. 3 km walk to old city not to be missed. Dubrovnik Croatia such a beautiful country.

Beautiful hotel,relaxing. Excellent location. Nice bar out front with brilliant staff. Rooms /facilities v good. A/c quiet. Balcony small Breakfast food usual Nice selection of restaurants/bars in walking distance. ( Okra restaurant/Shelbys bar) No 6 bus to old town returns by hotel (Departure stop 5mins away by tobacco shop across from small exercise park) Beaches/Lapad promenade all in easy walk8ng distance

A lovely family run hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. I’d say generally better for adults. Some excellent restaurants within walking distance and the old town a short taxi or bus ride away. Relaxed and quiet atmosphere. It was a pleasure to stay here

My daughter & I stayed here for 3 nights & arrived home today. I booked this hotel after reading lots of good reviews & hoping they were accurate. Well, they were definitely accurate. The staff were welcoming on our arrival & our room was ready early. We booked a side sea view with balcony & whilst not actually the sea (which I knew beforehand due to its location), the view from our balcony was beautiful as it overlooked the harbour. Our room reasonably sized on the 5th floor, modern with a beautiful bathroom. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The pool area, though small, was never busy & there was always a sunbed to be found. Never saw anyone putting towels out early to reserve a spot! It was a peaceful hotel and fairly quiet even though it is very close to the road. I would say we were probably the youngest guests & the majority were over the age of 60 & there was zero entertainment, but this wasn't an issue as we used the hotel as a base to explore Dubrovnik and surrounding areas. The only downside for us was the food. There wasn't anything particular wrong with it, but it really wasn't to our taste & I'm veggie, so did struggle. Had to eat out for dinner in the end as I was struggling for protein, so I'd recommend B&B rather than half board if you have any dietary preferences or prefer British style cooking. Also, drinks were not included with dinner. Now I wasn't expecting this additional charge & I don't remember it being obvious when I booked. However, this may be completely normal. It's just I usually go all inclusive, so wasn't aware the drinks (even water) would cost extra. The location was good & getting to the old town via bus was easy via a short bus trip. The bus stop was a 10-15 min walk away and the return stop was directly outside the hotel. Convenient after a long hot day round the old city walls. Lapad beach was a 20-25 min walk & if you continued along the promenade for another 10 mins, you can visit the Cave Bar for drinks. Various places along the route for jumping into the sea. Lapad is absolutely beautiful & well maintained. Not a bit of litter in sight. The beaches were spotless. Overall happy we chose Lapad & this hotel. If you after a small, quiet base with minimal facilities & good location, this hotel is perfect.
