Hôtel Lumin Guesthouse

We stayed at Lumin Guesthouse for 4 nights in November and honestly couldn’t have chosen a better little base in Dubrovnik. It sits right on the main street of the Old Town, so everything is right on your doorstep — yet it still feels like your own quiet pied-à-terre tucked into history. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ana and given helpful ideas for exploring, which made all the difference. Even with a bit of November weather, there was still so much to do — and it never took away from the experience. One of our favourite things was simply wandering. A beautiful coastal walk leads you out to a secluded beach, where we swam in the most incredible clear, azure water. The walk back under the pine trees was just as special — do take water with you though, as there are no shops along that route. We also hiked up the mountain (around two hours to the top), where there’s a restaurant with delicious food and the most spectacular views. After lunch, we took the cable car back down — the perfect combination of effort and ease. Evenings were magical. There are bars hidden through archways in the old fort walls where you can watch the sunset, or even climb down for a swim below. Another lovely local swimming spot is just around from the old harbour, where you can slip into the sea off the rocks. We also found a wonderful restaurant overlooking the harbour — friendly, relaxed, great food and full of atmosphere. A 2min walk to the ferry from Lumin and you’re on a boat to a nearby island. We went to Lokrum as it was the closest but there’s plenty of others is you’re staying longer. If you like art, as I do, there is the Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik (MoMAD) a 5min walk from the old town. While we were there the Lumiart Light festival was on where the whole town is illuminated and we were treated to a feast of light displays on the old buildings -apparently it’s an annual 3 day event-we had no idea when we booked so that was a bonus! This is the perfect place for anyone creative — somewhere you could easily spend a few days writing, sketching or just thinking. Sitting in the little cafés tucked into the alleyways, you feel completely transported. A truly special stay. In the heart of the old town, no need for transport as everything is on your doorstep- I would go back in a heartbeat — and next time, I’d stay longer and take my sketch book!

Amazing location with stunning view of the main walking street in the old town, beds were amazing and super comfortable.

UBICACIÓN DESTACADA!! Por lo demás en un apartamento reducido hasta la incomodidad. Mínimo. El baño es reducido hasta la incomodidad. Es un primer piso por una escalera angosta y con escalones altos (ojo, sobre todo si tienen alguna condición física!). ⬇️ Deja mucho que desear la Administración (contacto por WApp); no contestan bien o directamente no contestan. Había 4 almohadas en muy mal estado, aplastadas, amarillentas; 2 ni siquiera tenían funda. Pedí que por favor me trajeran 2 almohadas con funda para suplantar las que no se podían usar. No me contestaron. Días después me dijeron que tienen tanto trabajo que no pueden responder todos los mensajes (tengo el chat). Muy mal.

Nossa experiência de hospedagem por 3 dias no apartamento 4 (frente para rua principal e no terceiro andar). Eficiente serviço via watts com senhas para acesso ao local e a caixa com a chave correspondente ao apartamento. Como todos os prédios da cidade, escadas íngremes e estreitas, como utilizamos mochilas, não tivemos dificuldade. O apartamento é ótimo, cama , Wi-Fi, banheiro espaçoso e otima ducha, pequena cozinha bem montada que nos permitiu preparar nossas refeições, economia enorme ao invés dos caríssimos restaurantes. A supermercado a 250 m.

Cette guesthouse est en plein coeur de Dubrovnik, les fenêtres donnent sur la rue principale. Les chambres sont charmantes et très fonctionnelles (bioen qu'un peu petites). La douche est super (en dur avec une bonne pression). Le seul défaut est la mauvaise insonorisation et l'escalier de la bâtisse est plutôt bruyant.
