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.”

Kompas feels like a home away from home.
The hotel is right on Sunset Beach with great views of the Lapad bay . It is well designed, very clean and well maintained. Their service and staff are exceptional. We stay here every time we come to Dubrovnik and it never disappoints.
Nothing to do with the hotel but the public beach adjacent to the hotel doesn’t have the amenities it used to have after the beach bar shut down.

Brilliant family stay with great welcoming staff
Excellent rooms, beds and we loved the roof top bar. Well worth a cocktail
16 July 2024
Satisfactory without being outstanding
Food was only okay
Staff in the food area were not at all friendly
15 July 2024
Very comfortable with excellent service
Staff so nice in the main restaurant and rooms extremely comfortable
Pool bar menu very limited for children and pool bar staff not very friendly and under staffed at lunch

We felt at home
The whole ambience of the hotel and the excellent reception / bar. Swimming pool plus restaurant.
The evening buffet was disappointing with a low quality small choice.

Loved it!
Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Close to the beach, bars and restaurants and a short taxi/bus ride away from the Old Town. Bedroom was clean and bed very comfortable. Pool area was spotless and had a lovely view out over the sea.
Breakfast buffet was fine, could do with more hot breakfast options. Difficult to secure sun loungers by the pool, could definitely do with more.

Absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Kompass
Hotel Kompass was the perfect place to stay. It was away from the hustle and bustle of Old Town, but also close enough. There was a bus you could catch into Old Town a short stroll away or if you have a car they park it for you for free in the hotel car park. There are plenty of restaurants around the hotel to choose from. There is a lovely walk you can do around the waters edge with plenty of openings that you can go down a few stairs and jump into the sea. The staff were so helpful and always super friendly. The rooms were a great size. The breakfast was excellent where you could sit both inside or outside. And the bar upstairs on reception level was a lovely place to have a nightcap. And that view when you first walk into the Hotel, A-mazing!!! Just loved our stay here and will definitely be back!
Everything was perfect.

Everything was perfect, location, food, staff... I don't understand wy this hotel is only 4* it deserves 5*
30 June 2024
Underwhelming, could be amazing!!
Reception area and floor 10 bar area looks really smart, views are stunning, modern interiors. Very clean. We had a room on the 9th floor fabulous views, again cleaning staff 10 out of 10, and a nice little gesture at end of the day to give guests couple of chocolates. Spa area lady could do enough to make you feel welcome, had a lovely massage. Gym decent (air con not the best)
Totally disappointed by pool area. Just a load of cheap sun loungers and parasols stuck on a concrete surface, you need to add plants or something to split it all up. We also thought the bar staff in pool area were just miserable - the guy just wasn’t friendly, didn’t really want to interact with customers, it’s a holiday destination the sun is shining & both the guys weren’t very engaging. We also thought overall the staff didn’t really go that extra mile, people are coming for a holiday, make them feel welcome. Breakfast staff were friendly. We also thought the food was very average. Also the beach opposite the hotel had a beach club that must have gone bankrupt - looks a mess, and also dangerous with parts of the decking having been ripped out, the local council need to sort it, has so much potential this resort but we won’t be returning - we recommend Hvar if you really want a nice holiday in Croatia.

Amazing stay.
All the hotel staff members we interacted were really helpful. Everything about this property was fantastic!

Exceptional holiday location, Not cheap but worth every penny
Amazing Hotel; Great staff, impeccably clean, stunning views across Lapad Bay. Great Pool, Gym and Treatment facilities. Marvellous Location; a few minutes walk from Beach, local facilities and transport into Old Town. Brilliant food with seemingly endless selection at both breakfast and dinner buffets.
Nothing I can think of.

Well located in Dubrovnik and close to lots of restaurants within an easy walk.
The hotel Kompass is well located and the facilities are by and large very good.
Our bedroom had no view and faced to the one side of the building. We did not like the beds. Our bedroom was large enough but had twin beds with twin duvets.

Wonderful hotel, right at a very clean and beautiful quiet beach.
I prefer one big mattress over two regular next to each other, but it's often like this in Europe

Good value at under $175 per night for this excellent location.
Gorgeous location, nice staff, area and a bus ride from downtown.

The hotel was a fabulous new hotel in Lapad. Beautifully presented exterior and interior. We had a sea view room that was fantastic. Lovely outdoor and indoor pools. The staff were all excellent particularly in the bar area and at breakfast - they really made us feel very welcome and looked after. Fresh linen was provided every two days and fresh towels were provided everyday. Also included two spa robes and slippers. Even two chocolates left by the bed each evening which was a nice touch. Good selection at breakfast and first rate service thank you. Great cocktails at the top floor terrace to accompany a beautiful sunset. The hotel is very close to old town but there are plenty of bars and restaraunts in the local area too along with a supermarket in walking distance.

Amazing staff and hotel
Spotless room, very friendly staff, all was great. We had breakfast and dinner included, and the food was delicious and with lots of choises to pick from, even for vegetarians. On my friend birthday they surprised us with a birthday cake in the room. We highly recommend this hotel!

Perfect Dubrovnik stay away from the hustle and bustle
Excellent location, spectacular views, rooms are of a very high standard and well appointed with lovely sea views. Great buffet breakfast, stunning pools - indoor and out - well looked after. Nice bar with panoramic views over the bay. Close to lots of restaurants and bars with direct access to the amazing promenade
Smoking policy: there was a cigar smoker 2 floors below us who insisted on smoking on his balcony in the evening which meant we couldn’t open our French doors at night due to the smoke and smell.

The view from the hotel terrace and from our balcony was stunning. The sunsets to die for !
We had a superior room with a large balcony with a view of the Adriatic. It was gorgeous. The room was large and very nice with a slink decor. I definitely recommend this hotel. It is an easy taxi drive to Dubrovnik Old Town and a beautiful one.

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!

The gym is a little small

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.

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
19 September 2023
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.

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.

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.
