Hotel Splendid
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Splendid is worth booking if you want a cheap, beachfront base in Lapad and do not mind taking a bus into the Old Town. If you want to walk out of the door into the historic centre, it is the wrong hotel: the main sights are close to 50 minutes away on foot.

This three-star suits budget-minded couples and friends who value the sea and a quieter neighbourhood over being next to the city walls. The property lists itself as beachfront and mentions a restaurant, garden, terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if you plan to spend most evenings in the Old Town and hate relying on buses or taxis. Also skip it if you dislike extra charges: guests mention paying separately for parking, sunbeds and drinks.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Masarykov put 6 in Lapad. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10, mainly for direct bus access to the Old Town and restaurants within walking distance.
Be realistic about distance. Rector's Palace, Dubrovnik Cathedral and Sponza Palace are each about 3.9 km away, roughly 49 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. That is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi for most trips into the historic centre. Check bus times and fares for your dates, especially for late returns.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 1,745 reviews. The bus link to the Old Town and the nearby restaurants are the location points guests like. Staff get warm comments too: friendly and professional, helping with luggage and giving attentive service.
The main complaint is about extras rather than the room rate. Guests find the price reasonable but note charges for parking, sunbeds and drinks. A buffet breakfast is listed, though whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Price compared with our other Dubrovnik picks
For a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, the reference price seen was €81.80 per night, about €164 in total. That is around 44% below the €146.60 median of the hotels we compared, a big saving in a pricey city. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Royal Neptun Hotel, our Best Value pick, is a four-star at €121.85 a night with a score of 9.2. Hotel Sumratin, our Luxury pick, is a five-star at €181.93 with 9.4. Splendid is about €40 a night cheaper than Royal Neptun, but its score is a full point lower. Bus fares into town will eat a little into the saving.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 15 eligible properties in Dubrovnik. Splendid had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was reserved, which makes it our Budget pick.
It did not win on reviews: it placed joint 14th of 15 on score. It made the list because 8.2 from about 1,700 guests is still decent, the price gap is large, and the beachfront setting gives you something the city-centre options do not.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check them for the room you choose.
Ask about sunbed and parking charges before arrival, and confirm whether the restaurant is open on your dates. Plan your transport into the Old Town in advance, including how you will get back in the evening.
