Berkeley Hotel & Day Spa, Dubrovnik
The Berkeley Hotel & Day Spa is a charming, family-owned boutique property that opened its doors in 2007. Nestled in the heart of Dubrovnik’s Gruž harbour, it stands out as one of the few independently operated hotels in the area, offering a more intimate and personal guest experience compared to larger resorts.
The hotel features contemporary interior design and a boutique day spa on its first floor. One of its most unique perks is the ability to arrange bespoke luxury motorboat charters with a skipper, allowing guests to explore the nearby Elafiti Islands directly from the harbour. Additionally, it features a relaxed poolside “honesty bar,” adding a nice touch of independence for guests lounging by the seasonal outdoor pool.
Its location is incredibly practical for travelers. Being just 300 meters from the ferry terminal makes it an ideal base for day trips to national parks or the picturesque Croatian islands. For those wanting to see the iconic sights, the historic Old Town of Dubrovnik is easily accessible via a short, frequent bus ride that stops right in front of the hotel.
Nearby, you can explore the vibrant Gruž Open Market, which is perfect for picking up fresh local produce and soaking in authentic daily life. While the hotel feels like a peaceful retreat, you are never far from the city’s major landmarks, including the historic Fort Lawrence and the ancient defensive walls that define Dubrovnik’s skyline.
Expert reviews
“Located above Gruž port, this midrange hotel offers slick contemporary rooms, with wooden floors and modern
fitted furniture. Everything feels very new and clean. There are also apartments with basic self-catering
facilities, all with balconies.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Dubrovnik.
“One block back from Gruž harbor, this welcoming three-star hotel run by a Croatian-Australian family provides
excellent value in what you might call the real Dubrovnik; there’s a small outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, a deck
lined with sun beds, and an on-site spa.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Dubrovnik.

It was a comfortable property, located at a roughly 30-minute walk from Old Town and next to the Port. Breakfast was excellent. And the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

Location was nice and if you like walking you can certainly walk to the historic part of Dubrovnik which is a lovely walk . All the staff at the hotel were all genuine and friendly from Jan who checked me in to the happy girl at breakfast who mead a fantastic Caffe Latte for me every morning . Breakfast was excellent, it looked like some thought went into the preparation of the food and the range where it catered for everyone which is lacking in a lot of the bigger hotels .
The towels could do with an upgrade but are still ok.

The room was perfect bed comfortable . Location was perfect close to old town and Lapad which was great. Buses right there Definately will recommend this place 👌
Only thing I could say was the rooms were all set on temperature. Settings and programed . Myself struggled from 3am waking up extremely hot . We are i there spring so understand the programming of the temp.

I loved the location. We could walk to the Old Town, a 40 minute walk, but you could easily walk to a near by bus stop. The hotel room was very comfortable and spacious. It certainly had a spa feel. The sea view from the balcony was a bonus. For breakfast, there was a good choice of hot and cold foods and excellent coffee on offer.
Due to our stay being at the beginning of April, the pool was not available or the option to sit round the pool. The hotel did not provide evening meals.

Wonderfully welcoming hotel team and a great nights sleep.
We had a room with a balcony so it was bliss to be able to,open the door and have fresh air in the room. Shutters allowed security to enable this. The hotel is modern and well placed for the ferry and bus station,also local buses which run every 15 minutes to get to Old Town. Best thing was the staff, so helpful and friendly. They wanted to engage with you.
It’s a long walk from old town so you have to get familiar with the buses pretty quickly. That said, it’s no big deal.

Perfect location. Everything within walking distance but not too close that you are overwhelmed by the noise. The beds are dangerously comfortable, slept in the first morning, despite an alarm being set, and missed the breakfast. Which is amazing also.
Inconsiderate hotel guests having a personal discussion rather loudly late into the night BUT was quickly dealt with by the staff.

Very nice hotel with excellent breakfast and nice staff near the bus station
Very friendly and helpful staff, a very nice room, and a very tasteful breakfast. Hotel is situated a short walk from the bus station and city bus no 8 stops just outside and takes you to old town, otherwiase a 2 kilometre walk up and down. I did not check the pool area, but I think there is a pool for summertime. Price level maybe high, but also due to the touristic area I suppose. However, worth the price.
Nothing worth mentioning.

The hotel were sooo friendly, that at times i felt that they were my family members. Since we reached Dubrovnik very early in the morning at 7AM, they were kind enough to give us an early check in at 9:30AM itself. I would recommend anyone going to Dubrovnik, to stay in this hotel. The hotel was very near the bus station as also the bus stand from where you can get a bus to the old town for 2.5 euros or uber for 8euros and its just a 5 minute drive. It is really a wonderful hotel run by fantastic people... I wish the hotel all the very best and i will definitely stay here again.
You cant dislike anything at all.... Everything is just perfect.

This is my second visit to this property, and I am equally satisfied with service and comfort. The room was very clean, with balcony and calming sea view and all listed amenities. Location is great, because you can use public bus service to reach any part of the city form the station nearby. We came by car but did not use it during the time we spent in Dubrovnik. Breakfast was very good. Special thanks to female receptionist and restaurant staff on their hospitality and kindness. I would stay there again, for sure.

A lovely hotel to use as a base to explore a beautiful city.
My elderly Mother and I had a wonderful stay at the Berkeley. The staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful. Anja and Maria in particular. My apologies for forgetting the name of the lovely lady at breakfast too. It was a 5min walk to get to the bus stop and 10 mins to the bus station. I would definitely return to this hotel and will be recommending it to my friends.
Can't think of anything.

Best stay in Croatia for us
1. Service oriented and helpful staff 2. Good room size 2. Comfortable beds 3. Great breakfast (especially coffee) 4. The bathroom was of decent size and had toiletries
1. The Spa, pool and fitness center were under renovation and hence not available to the guests. This could have been communicated before. 2. Lighting in the room could be better.

Good price, great breakfast, & friendly staff
Central to bus station and just a short hop into the old town. Breakfast was great and the staff were all friendly.
Unfortunately the swimming pool and spa closed for winter, and the bath towels were a bit rough. Also the rooms seemed a little dated, with the climate control didn’t seem to be controllable.

The place was lovely and clean with a great location and a superb staff and tasty breakfast. Good value for money!
Some of the lights in our room were not working and the heating system wasn't working properly - but it was our fault we didn't report those things, I'm sure the issue would have been fixed. We were only staying for a couple of nights so we couldn't be bothered... Haha.

Anja and Marja’s recommendation of sights and their kindness were stellar ! We are grateful !
There was such an air of friendliness from the whole staff . Anja, Marja and Ines were especially kind and gracious in suggesting sights in their beautiful city of Dubrovnik . Anja and Marja also help facilitate us staying longer than we had originally planned . It was a gift of warmth and hospitality they shared with us . Thank you ❤️

We would stay here again.
We spent 4 nights in the old town and decided to spend 1 night outside the walls and chose this place. We loved it. If we ever come back this way we would certainly think about staying here instead. It is only a short free bus ride to Pile gate with the Dubrovnik pass. It has a pool in the warmer weather. Our room had a balcony and a good view of the harbor. The walk to the harbor was only 5 minutes. The rooms were super clean and spacious and for me the breakfast was awesome (they had some of the best breakfast desserts I ever had). Finally, the staff were genuinely happy to welcome me. All this for a reasonable price. Thank you Berkeley Hotel for a wonderful stay.
