Nice place and would recommend it

Excellent location very close to the beach, supermarket and lot of restaurants, evenings are beautiful to walk around. The apartment is spacious has everything, kitchen with a lot of utensils, comfort bed, AC, wifi, nice host. Pay only by cash. Would recommend for single or couple to spend time relax close to the beach.

Bed was a bit uncomfortable and the lady running the place didn't want us to have our dog (though we'd put it on the booking and it's a dog friendly place!). Is a bit far from Old Town but Uber was cheap and the local area is really nice and quiet.

Good location but a little tired....

A good location..stairs an issue for luggage. What we got was not what we thought..2 bedrooms for 4 people was two bedrooms for 3 people and a fold out bed in the sitting area. A lesson to be careful to double check what is booked. The décor is tired and apartment could do with a spruce up and some maintenance undertaken. Well stocked kitchen and a really nice area outside to sit. We enjoyed our stay after the initial issues with bed arrangements.

Well equipped apartment, in good quiet location

Very helpful family (Novak and his Mum!) - really friendly, we were able to leave our bags in the house on the last day and they arranged a taxi for us to the port. Another family member was staying next door and she very kindly gave us cakes to welcome us to the property, a really nice touch! The studio apartment was so well equipped, it was like being at home. There was everything you needed in the room from beach towels to washing powder! The small kitchen was well equipped and had enough pots/pans and utensils to cook a meal if you needed to! The outdoor terrace was lovely and shady, surrounded by plants and a beautiful olive tree and even 2 sunbeds for an afternoon rest in the sunshine! It was a short walk down to the beach/restaurants of Lapad (5 minutes) but a perfect location for peace and quiet. I would definitely return to these apartments and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning next year!

Vila vala..functional budget stay

Nice self contained apartment. Bang in the center of the lapud tourist resort area. Walking distance to the beach. But be warned, it's not accessible by motor vehicle. One need to do a fair bit of walking and climbing up stairs to reach it. Also not well known around there, so initial hunting can be an issue. Novak, the owner is nice helpful man and so is mom. Great people. The apartment is functional and clean.

Didn't ruin our trip but wouldn't recommend

I overall had an amazing trip but this wasn't what we expected for our first trip away together. We paid for a booked and paid for double bed which we didn't get, the air condition took about 45 minutes to work and we wasn't allowed to leave it on, there was no wifi which we also booked and paid for, on 3 out of 7 nights we had no hot water just pure freezing, there was no schedule when someone would come into our room to clean etc to the point she came in at 9am whilst we was both in bed asleep and we also found someone would have been in our room randomly on random Days despite no clean towels being left - and minor things such as my razors and bits of our food went missing. Fortunately we looked past majority of it but if I returned to Dubrovnik I would not go back here. I hope this was just our case. It's a lovely location and the kitchen was full of applicances so we ate breakfast outside each morning but next time I would not return.

Good accommodations

Great host. The property is a little difficult to locate due to there only being one sign on the fence and a personal apartment under this property. Once located it was easy to access. Welcoming host. The space has a full bath, kitchen, and two separate bedrooms. We had the entire floor to ourselves which was nice.

Good place to stay at very reasonable rates!

The location of 'Vila Vala' is good. It is two minutes walk to the local beach and about 40 minutes walk to the Old Town of Dubrovnik but there are frequent buses too! There are though about 50 steps down to the Promenade, which is awash with 'eateries'! The friendly owners, Timmy and Novak, are always on hand but are not intrusive! The apartment I was staying in was a little outdated but the kitchen was pretty well equipped and overall the place was comfortable. And the weather, for October, was in the early twenties and the sea still warm!!

Excellent, like a self-contained unit!

For a 2 star hotel we were super impressed! It had a kitchenette with everything you need (microwave, hotplate, kitchenware etc.). It was really like having a self contained unit, just absolutely perfect and so close to the beach (barely 200 meters away from the entrance). The air conditioning in the room worked really well, and the wifi in the common area was strong. We also used the TV for the France-Germany Euro Cup soccer game and it worked fine. The owner of the hotel was very kind and had the cutest little dog (Reo or Leo?) who loved to play. We would definitely come back to this place!

great for budget travel

The place is located around 40 minutes from the old city if you want to walk and 10-15 min by bus. The area around it is full of restaurants and bars and it is a 5 minute walk from Lapad beach. The lady who owns the place is very friendly and helpful. if you are on a budget, that's the perfect place to stay.

lovely stay at villa valla

we had a great time here. The family who own it/run it were lovely and helpful .We liked the apartment. the terrace was great for eating out on.The apartment was comfortable though old fashioned. The beds are comfortable but the pillows need upgrading as they were lumpy and there are only sheets not duvets. This is probably fine in the summer but getting into Autumn a light duvet would have been nice.we will definetely stay here again. brilliant location. fantastic value for money.

Good value

This place is good value for money. The apartment was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. As other reviews have mentioned, the condition of the hotel is a bit on the old side and it was clear it hasn't been renovated for a while. It was clean though. The location is fairly nice but a 15 min bus ride (or 50 min stroll) from the old town. Nevertheless, there are bars, restaurants and supermarkets close the the apartments though. There is also a nice beach 10 min away. The host was very nice and welcoming.

Very nice and spacious apartment in Dubrovnik

We were 3 friends that stayed in the beautiful city of Dubrovnik for 5 nights (wish we could stayed longer). We were looking for a cheap hotel and fortunately we found Vila Vala. We were not sure at first because in the pictures the apartment looked a bit dated, however, the price was fantastic £141 for all nights for all 3 of us. The apartments is in Lapad area of Dubrovnik, around 20 by bus from the old town. The building belongs to a family who runs the apartments and live in one of the apartments downstair, they are friendly and helpful. The apartment is very big around 80 sq metres, it has a huge balcony with see and village view, it is in a quite posh area of Lapad and all the restaurants and other amenities are just 2 minutes walking, so is the lovely beach. There is a nice supermarket near, where we bought food for breakfast and dinner, as i love to cook, the only thing that i missed was an oven but all the rest is very good for the price. The apartment was very clean and everyday the housekeeper came to organise and even change the towel. We are planing to return to Dubrovnik maybe next year, and we will stay in this apartment again for 100% sure.

No frills accommodation

This accommodation is very basic but clean and suitable for a short stay. It is not suitable for children due to the number of steps and it being on different levels. We stayed in the apartment at the top which is only big enough for 2. It is compact but well equipped and the air conditioning it very good. Towels were changed on day 3 of 4. It is best approached by the road that runs parallel to the main pedestrian street below the apartments. There are fewer steps to climb and the owner's apartment is on the lower level down 2 sets of steps. We also found it easy to use the lift at the Kompas Hotel as the main entrance and reception are on the top floor and the ground floor entrance leads to the bistro, street bars, restaurants and beach. We got the airport bus to the main bus station and then the no 7 bus to the post office stop in the resort. Owner will only accept payment in cash.
