We have stayed in Kovacec apartments last November.Owner Felix was an excellent host giving us the best directions and advices about restaurants etc.Apartments we found spotesly clean,quite and comfortable equipped with high speed internet,plasma sat/tv and fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom.Location is perfect close to the Old town,stores and restaurants with bakery below terrace.
We were very satisfied and we will be back.

Booked into Apartments Kovacec after checking out rave reviews on Tripadvisor. Perhaps we were expecting too much for the price but we were disappointed. The entrance steps were dirty, the location just above a busy main road was not ideal, the furniture was cheap and tacky, the wifi didn't work etc etc. It just felt as though the owner was taking things for granted - as long as customers kept coming there was no need to do much more than the minimum. Sorry to be so negative but we wouldn't like other people to be as disappointed as we were.
PS It's quite a long walk to the old town down a very busy, noisy main road.

Kovacec Apartments are located in a perfect spot - you can easily walk to the Dubrovnik Old Town, but also to the Harbour, where you can take a boat to any of the island. We got a triple room with 3 single beds, separate bathroom and a kitchenette. The place was very clean and equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, fridge.

The owner, Feliks, speaks a very good English and is a very pleasant man. He is very helpful and is happy to answer any of the questions regarding sightseeing, weather, local places, food, shops. On the last day, he ordered us a taxi that took us to the bus station. A few days after we checked out, he sent us an email wishing us a very good time in Croatia (Dubrovnik was our first stop).

You will not be served breakfast, but there is a bakery literally a few steps away - it is open 24/7 and serves many Croatian pastries, called burek as well as drinks, yoghurts etc. There is also a supermarket 5 mins away.

There is a wireless internet access.

The place is classified as a hostel by some places, but I think this is very unfair. I stayed in many hostels before and I would never include Kovacec Apartments in this category - it is well to comfortable, too clean and too well-equipped to be called a hostel.

Thank you, Feliks.

My husband and I stayed here from August the 17th for 5 nights and I cannot think of one negative thing to say about it. We were warmly welcomed by Felix ( the owner, a very interesting and well travelled man) and shown to our apartment which was fully equiped. As it was very hot that day he had thoughtfully put on the airconditioning and put a large ice cold beer in the fridge ready for our arrival. This was most welcome after a long hot day of traveling!
As other reviewers have said, the terrace is just beautiful and you can sit at the tables and enjoy a drink whilst looking at the magnificent view of the sea. This is great after a hard days sightseeing. You can even lie in the hammock if you're so inclined!
The location is also perfect as it's an easy walk to the Old City (down hill) and if you don't want to walk back up, the number 4 bus drops you almost at the door and takes less than 5 minutes. But we walked it most of the time.
There are a few shops, restuarants and a couple of bars all a very short walk away, and the bakery is just downstairs so you can buy fresh bread and snacks. Also drinks etc.
Our apartment was equiped with sat. TV , aircon, fridge, table and chairs and small cooker. The beds were spotlessly clean and very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water and clean towels. This was all included in the price which in my opinion represented unbelievable value for money.
Anyway, apart from all the facilities etc. the main attraction of staying here is that from the minute you arrive you are made to feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble.
Over the years we have stayed in a lot of fancy/expensive accomodations and most of them could learn a thing or two about customer service from Felix and his wife.
Highly recommended. Well done!
