hr, www.hotelpetka.hr. This functional-looking four-storey
pile right opposite the ferry port feels much better inside than
it looks on the outside, with neat en-suite rooms decorated in

then Petka is no mean choice. The hotel’s Taverna Nostromo

hr, www.hfhs.hr. Although Dubrovnik’s youth hostel is
sadly lacking in facilities, we found it clean and cheerful
and can vouch for the comfy beds. A communal kitchen
is at your disposal, there’s catering for large groups, and
you can rent a bike or scooter next door. Q 82 dorm
beds, 17 - 19€ per person. ABK

One of Dubrovnik’s best choices for budget
accommodation in the Old Town, Fresh Sheets is run by a
friendly well-travelled Canadian / Croatian couple. Funky,
characterful dorms, free breakfast and a guesthouse
atmosphere make this place a true jewel. There’s a lively
but not over-raucous bar and lounge, evening film screenings,
a backpackers’ book exchange, and a list of suggested
activities that includes the (highly-recommended)
“walking Maxie the dog up Mount Srđ”. Open from March
15. Q22 dorm beds, 20 - 30€ per person. AGW
