Lapad Hotels

6 of us flew to Dubrovnik on one of our city breaks. We chose Hotel Lapad as our base which proved to be an excellent choice. From an email sent about airport transfers to and from the Hotel which was promptly answered and set up, it had got off to a good start. Flight was 35mins early but the driver was already there for us. Quick no nonsense check in as well. Our 3 rooms were exactly what we booked with a fantastic view of Graz harbour. Rooms were very clean and good facilities. Throughout our stay at the Lapad all of the staff we met were excellent, always greeting us with hello. Breakfast was another big winner with choices of cereals, fruit, continental and cooked food. The crepes and jams were very tasty. The last night we stayed we decided to have our meal at the Hotel, again another good decision with the restaurant buffet being excellent value. Good atmosphere and service in the bar to end the evenings as well. Overall out of the many hotels we have stayed in this was one of the best.

We stayed a week and could not fault the hotel in any way. Friendly and helpful staff.Excellent food in the restaurant. Good sized swimming pool. Several other good restaurants nearby in easy walking distance. Day excursions available in the area. Easy access to Dubrovnik Old City by bus or taxi.

The rooms were pleasant and comfortable and the service we received absolutely made the holiday, all the staff from the main reception all the way down to the chambermaids were friendly, chatty and most helpful in making our stay a good one. The morning breakfast was varied by it's choice and quality and always gave us a great start to the day. Dubrovnik itself is one of the most delightful places that I have visited, the people, the sites and the restaurants with it's amazing fish dishes and service were first rate. Certainly worth another visit at a later date.

Although rather hilly (like most of Dubrovnik) the location is excellent - a few minutes walk to the pedestrian area of bars, restaurants and shops which are the resort's main tourist facilities and 10 minutes walk to the beaches. Easy bus ride to the beautiful old city. The appartment is in an area with plenty of local "buzz" but it feels very safe and there is no intrusive noise. Excellent air con (essential), good wifi connection and spacious. Spotlessly clean. A few very small additons to the equipment would make it even better - some larger drinking glasses and a jug or similar (some Brits like to make tea !). Our only criticism was that we could not find an English language tv channel.

Very good but directions might help other travellers. The property is on Uz Giman. This is a set of steps going down the side of a hill. You can't drive to the front door. The approach is via a road called "Dalmatinska". Cars have to be left on this road.
