Kompas Hotel, Dubrovnik
Expert reviews
“The four-star Kompas is on a placid beachside cove and near a pleasant cafe-lined promenade in Lapad about two and a half miles from Old Town. All rooms have balconies and most have a view of the shimmering Adriatic Sea. The top-floor lobby lounge and cafe is good a place to watch the spectacular sunsets.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
“Right by the beach at Lapad, this big hotel has more personality that you’d expect for its size, due in large part to interesting art, slick design and charming staff.”
“Hotel Kompas, overlooking Lapad Bay is three miles (4 km) from Dubrovnik’s old town. The minimalist all-white interiors have contemporary furnishing and fine sea views. There are 173 rooms, an outdoor pool, a spa, and a big restaurant with a waterside terrace.”

Gorgeous views, lovely hotel
The view was incredible!! The breakfast was great, competent front desk staff.
We were on the floor below the lobby and bar. There was a conference and we could hear movement above us until 1am. Front desk offered to switch rooms but the view wouldn't be as good so we stayed. Also, both the outdoor and indoor pools were very cold. The ocean was warmer!

Superb
Excellent breakfast especially when sitting outside
The gym is a little small
16 October 2023
Very good
Location, view from the lobby and walking area accessible via the hotel restaurant.
Clearing of tables at the breakfast area could be improved. It felt rushed when we were still eating but the staff started collecting plates.

Hotel Kompas a great option for familes.
Location, the view and the facilities were all stunning. The breakfast was also very good. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful stay at Hotel Kompas
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Went the extra mile. Location perfect, well appointed facilities, very comfortable, great food
Could possibly have a bit more greenery around the pool and some more variation in the breakfast offering day to day. Some cushions on the sunbed also.

Very enjoyable in a comfortable well positioned hotel with attentative staff
Hotel is in a great location with easy access to the old city. The room was very comfortable and well presented with a great view of the bay. Breakfast was excellent with a fantastic choice.
Hotel more suitable for the business sector than for elderly couples

It was a perfect location for a relaxing getaway
The location, view and direct access to the walkway along the sea with bars and restaurants was ideal. My room was modern and minimalist, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning was needed in August (and it was delightful), balcony overlooking the pool and the bay was relaxing.
I enjoyed everything

Loved it and would definitely return.
The Kompas exceeded my expectations. The view from our room was incredible, and the whole place felt much more like a five star hotel. The pool area is amazing, and despite the 'private beach' being a short walk, we really enjoyed it as well.
Honestly, the only thing we would say that was annoying was the music selections in the bar and pool areas. Odd covers of popular music on repeat - it would be great if it could be mixed up a bit. Such a minor point though overall!

Perfect location to enjoy Dubrovnik, but away from the crowds
Staff were all professional and helpful. We had a well located room on 8th floor but could not use balcony. Good walk in shower. Towels changed daily. Breakfast had a great food selection daily with attentive staff. Hotel is on the water's edge with a promenade to walk to either beach or swimming areas. Bar on top floor has great views over bay.
We had 2 balconies but could not use either because the metal furniture was uncomfortable and the chair pads too thin to be of use. The duvet on the bed was too small and I had to ask daily for a top sheet to be provided.

A wonderful property with a comfortable bed and great food!

Fantastic clean hotel with a great pool and delicious breakfast.
A lovely hotel with wonderful helpful staff and a great breakfast.
Everything inside the hotel was great and the beach beautiful. The restaurants nearby are geared towards tourists and a little underwhelming. We found a lovely seafood restaurant off the main tourist thoroughfare. I would recommend seeking out recommended restaurants.

Otherwise nice view
Very modern , breakfast very good
The music every night was a little boring and in the room , second floor , the air conditioner was very loud , I could not sleep well and we were under the gym , the people running in the morning was very uncomfortable. So if you book a room make sure you are above 4 floor

Super Convenient!
Great facilities and conveniently situated close enough but far enough from Old Town. Good restaurants surrounding the hotel and beach for swimming aside from the lovely hotel pool. Friendly and helpful staff.
Nothing.

Overall it was a wonderful experience.
Very clean and comfortable room (a little on the small size). The buffet breakfast had a wonderful selection.
Not being able to sit outside for breakfast until 7.00am. Most mornings we arrived at 6.30am, it would have been pleasant to sit outside at that time of the morning.

This hotel has great rooms, great spa and has the beach only metres away along with some great restaurants only a 2 minu
We have stayed at this property in the past and again it lived up to what we expected.
A couple of the breakfast staff were rude, they need to understand without customers they don’t have a job. Being courteous is easy, being rude comes down to attitude.

Fabulous
Beautiful hotel right by the beach. Amazing view of the bay, a lot of restaurants and snacks around. There is a bus stop just 5 mins walk to the old city (around 15 mins drive). The staff is very nice! We asked for a very early check in and they made it happen. It eas our honeymoon so they gave us a bottle of sparkling wine too.
The prices are very high. This is a great hotel but maybe too pricey. No bottles of water in the rooms.
