This was a great stay for our family of 4. If you want the Hilton then stay in the Hilton but this is a really cool spot for those looking for a unique experience. You are right in the main square in the old city in an ancient building. A once in a lifetime experience in this great city (twice in a lifetime as this is our second stay here). Highly recommended if you are coming at this with the right mindset and if you don’t need to be pampered by the staff. You will meet Vjeko at check in but unless you need something you are on your own. Perfect for us and Vjeko was a great host. The only thing to watch out for is that you have to pay in cash as currently they do not take cards. Thank you Vjeko! Hope to return soon.

This is a small apartment in the center of Old Town Dubrovnik close to everything. Being in the center it's a little noisy at night until late hours. Other then that close to everything.

Complete rip off!! Stay. Away. How dare this place charge 5 star hotel price for a 1 star quality and service??? Was put on the top floor with svrl steep flights and met with: 1) Very thin walls. Every step/convo nearby is heard, noise from the streets Past midnight 2) Not even bar of soap offered for a shower. Hostess said she put some kind of body soap into what was actually a bottle of hand soap 3) Towels like sandpaper 4)A bed sheet for a “cover” 5)Shower drain barely drained water 6) BAD internet connection on BOTH signals available 7) Only 2 Eng. speaking TV channels 8) They only take cash no CC. So shady! 9) Toilet running water all night 10) Bldg is dark with steep steps, GL finding the light switch which stays on for a minute or 2 then shuts off 11)Hostess Petra is rude and untruthful (where are these “good” reviews coming from?? Her friends?? I challenge their veracity!) All above failures would be ok IF this place charged MAX $75 a night MAX. This place is worth not a penny more or you’re getting swindled. Only reason I booked was b/c the apt. accom. called SUNce, a 2 min walk from here was sold out for the nt. SUNce was fantastic!!! From a beautiful QUIET apartment, beautiful bathroom, a safe, fast internet, cable, to the awesome hostess. At SUNce you pay a fraction more but get ALL the value for your $$$. I have no affiliation whatsoever with SUNce FYI, just had an awesome experience there for essentially same $ and want to warn you. Avoid Martechini.

Romantic Getaway in Self Catering Apartment
Our apartment was one of four in a block of Old Dubrovnik on the Stradun near Sponza Palace. It was a challenge to find parking off site but our host gave us a lot of links ahead of our stay to assist us. It was wonderful to have a kitchen and comfortable space to hideaway. This apartment is not accessible for people with heavy luggage or mobility issues at it involved climbing many steep stairs. If you have the capacity to do it we recommend the experience as you immediately feel like you have stepped back centuries!

Best Location and Wonderful Staff
I was plagued with one flight debacle after another trying to get here. My plane was delayed by 2 days out of Heathrow and then diverted away from Dubrovnik to Split mid flight. Each time Petra was in touch and fantastically accomodating. She actually picked me up from the bus station after I arrived from Split in her own car and got me settled. She also offered to discount the two days I couldnt make it. She was fantastic and checked in with me several times throughout my stay to see if she could offer any help and make sure I was enjoying my stay. In addition, the hotel is right off the main square of the Stradum in Old Town. Its a fantastic location and I would go back in a heartbeat! In fact, I'm thinking of seeing if I can book a room again this summer. The only downside is stairs, two flights up to my room, but hey you're in the muddle of Old Town, so totally worth it!

Good location
The location was great, close to everything. There are a lot of steps, so it is uncomfortable to get your luggage to the room. Also, I got to the apartment at the arranged time and the receptionist was supposedly waiting at other location so I wandered like 1 hour before coming back and then she appeared.

The apartment is right on the main square of the old town, so location is excellent. It is an old building so I anticipated internal stairs and older style furniture. The apartment was clean and we had everything we required. Petra was very informative and helpful. We were only here for the last night of a 2 week holiday in Croatia and it was lovely to stay in the heart of the Old Town and enjoy our evening without worrying about a lot of steps at the end of the night!

Very central
Petra arranged transfer from airport 35 euros & she met us just by apartment which is right behind Main Street. Fab location & central to everything. We stayed in the loft which was quite spacious with sofa bed & 2 singles pushed together. Table & fours chairs & basic kitchen. Only thing I'd say is if got small children the stairs could b dangerous as come up in middle of attic & I was bit worried someone would fall down them but we didn't! Petra was available anytime via Whats App/email for anything needed. Would recommend here.

Cute apt. in old town Dubrovnik. There are stairs!
Petra was awesome. She was super responsive to our email questions both before and during our stay. The unit is in the old town of Dubrovnik right in the middle of all the action. The home is a 15th century building that has been turned into apts. The apt. was clean and had everything we needed including a kitchenette. Be prepared for a lot of stairs. There were 32 stairs up to the apt. and another 8 to the sleeping/kitchenette loft.

Great location in one of a kind cities
Apartment is in a super location - 5 minute walk to one of the gates in/out of Dubrovnik. There's an open market 2 min walk away where we bought delicious fresh fruit and pastries every morning. Petra was helpful in every way - even making bus reservations for our trip further north when we left Dubrovnik.

Great location.
The apartment was right in the heart of Dubrovnik's old city and the owner was friendly. However, we had to check in within a certain time which provided less flexibility. We did not realise we could only pay for the rooms in Euros or Kunas cash, as it would have been easier and cheaper for us to have paid in British pounds. The room was clean but a little dark. We wanted a double bed but instead got two twin beds and mattresses put next to each other, so during the night the mattresses would easily slide apart and leave us lying on the bed frame. On the morning of check out, the city had to do emergency works on the water supply, so we had no water and had to leave the apartment a bit worse for ware, which I realise cannot be avoided but may have been less likely to have happened if we stayed further out of the old city?

Apartment with great location
This apartment was in a great location within a minute of the main street in Dubrovnik. This, however, made it a bit noisy both at night and during the night with the street cleaning. This is a very old building and there is also a bit of noise transference from the apartment above. There was air con so the windows could be kept closed to quieten things down! It was clean and well equipped and everything worked fine. We were on the second floor and found getting the suitcases up and down the stairs a bit of a challenge as there was no reception there and no help. We also had to liase with the owner to be in to make our payment in cash as they didn't take credit cards.Overall it was a really pleasing apartment and in a great location.

Best host in Dubrovnik.
The host Petra was fantastic, helping with booking taxis to & from the airport, providing extra towels and anything else that was needed, along with allowing to store our cases for a few days while we tripped to Hvar. Great apartment for the 4 of us, including to grown up kids, overlooking the main square.

Historical Old Town
Had a great last-minute, one-night stay. The apartment is charming and Petra is very helpful. Location cannot be beat--right in heart of Old Town. You'll have to walk a bit with your luggage but we had no problem, but did have to climb a few stories to our actual room which was at the top. Nice, open layout with kitchen and lots of space. Cool old hearth, the room had lots of character. Had some issues getting the AC to switch over from heat but luckily it was not too warm at the time.

Right in Old Town Dubrovnik. Lovely!
This is a lovely apartment that is centrally located to everything in Old Town and the surrounding city. Walking distance to some of the best sights, lovely restaurants and the main square within the walls. The manager was very pleasant and met us just outside town to walk us in. He also gave us tips on where to visit, helped us find a driver prior to our stay and to find transportation to the ferry for the next leg of our vacation.

Everything was excellent and the owner was lovely and very helpful. Beautiful old building within the walls of Old Dubrovnik. Would recommend organizing a transfer to the hotel as it would've been difficult to find otherwise. Involves a lot of walking, mostly up and down stairs.

First of all, we arranged for a car service with the manager. They dropped us off at the North entrance and we had to walk down several flights of ancient stone steps. I had two pieces of heavy luggage! He helped me part of the way and helped with the luggage up the 3 flights of steep stairs to the room. Go the West entrance if you have heavy luggage. There is a ramp and a straight shot to the room. I thought I had paid for this prior, however I didn't and they would only take cash. There is an ATM just around the corner however. The place is charming and I wish we had more time to actually enjoy the room. There is a great restaurant right around the corner. It is a great location, right in the ancient city.

All went as planned and we had help with having the transportation arranged from the airport to the hotel. Our apartment for 4 people was facing THE main square in old Dubrovnik, which was amazing view. However the live band was playing until 12 midnight, right under the window. We enjoyed it, and went for a walk at 11 pm. We had a great stay and friendly service and advice.

Perfect location within the city walls ! I stayed in apt Antonio which was the smallest apt at Martecchini although decent enough size, great sized bathroom and a small kitchen. Pedro the owner is a lovely, charming man, incredibly nice and helpful. All the great restaurants, bars, shops are basically right outside your door. A little noisy at night with the crowds but quietens down around midnight. Highly recommended.

Great location.
Great location in the heart of the old city. Many many steps up and down to the side gate into the old city and to the second floor apartments. Large comfortable room with clothes washer and refrigerator, no elevator, staff available by phone or email (not on premises). The house is next to the main square where music plays until midnight on most nights and sometimes in the early morning. The noise on the stairs to the third floor apartment make a lot of noise and will wake you. The manager met us at the side gate and helped us with our luggage on the way in but we were on our own on our way out. We would recommend this place because of its size and location.

Excellent, charming apt. in the Old town
We arrived very easily, on the bus from the airport. Pero was extremely helpful, giving us excellent directions from the main gate. The tourist office is right where the bus drops you off, so you can pick up a map of the city. Our immaculate rooms were at the top of the building, on the side, so awesome to stay in an apartment with walls two feet thick! There are two Kozomin grocery stores, one within the walls, one just outside that are less than a five minute walk. Bring your own re-usable shopping bag. We bought the Dubrovnik Pass which easily paid for itself as we took trips outside of the Old Town to Gruz, Babin Kuk and Lapad. It is a little noisy staying so close to the main square, but the convenience certainly made up for that, plus when the windows were closed the noise was considerably reduced. We would most definitely stay with Pero again.
