Accommodation in Dubrovnik

Fionn101

Hi ,

We have bought four flight only tickets to dubrovnik , leaving 7th August,

I'm wondering if there will be any trouble getting accommodation over there ? is it like greece where the local places meet you at the ferry/airport ?

or should we try to book online first ?? most of the hotels only take booking through on-line travel agents who seem to charge large middle man fee's

Thanks

i got mine online, there's a hostel available for cheap www.hostelworld.com, you'll find it on most sites, i booked that for first 3 nights, rest i get over there, like greece, they meet you at ferry/port/bus station i believe. EUR 10 a night roughly, but i'd have something for the first night. Tourist office charge 30% extra but that not much if you get accommodation for dirt cheap off them. Tis a busy time and some places have limited places to stay due to the war (90s) so I'd recommend staying in nearby out of town villages (great bus service go to them), be careful of individuals offering accommodation at the side of the road though...

There's loads of accomodation to be got there. I was there in the 2nd week of August last year and there was no problem. There will be people at the bus station and the ferry station (not sure about the airport as I wasn't there). There will also be people on the street near the centre of town if you still haven't found a place.

Skud, why do you say to avoid these? As far as I could see a lot of people from Italy, Germany and Austria drive down to Dubrovnik and these people were doing much the same thing towards these people as the people at the stations were to does who came in through there.

I am just back from dubrovnik yesterday, there is a lot of accomodation there.People will meet you at the airport , or sometimes the bus station as the airport is 22KM from the City.Try to get a place near the old town because some people get accomodation a couple of miles away and the are left walking up a couple of hundred steps every night on the way home.
We asked to stay near the old town and paid just over 20 euro a night, we were 100 yards from 1 of the 2 night clubs there.You could get a place for about 15 euro a night but you could be a couple of miles away.
