3-star hotels in Kono
A shortlist of 15 three-star stays in Kono, the inland Dubrovnik suburb at the head of the Rijeka Dubrovačka fjord. These apartments and guest houses suit self-catering travellers with a car who want quiet residential nights and a bus to town every 20 minutes.
Staying in Kono
Kono is the furthest inland suburb of Dubrovnik, sitting at the head of the Rijeka Dubrovačka, a karst river-mouth where freshwater springs meet the sea in a narrow limestone channel. Rowing crews train on the water most evenings, small fishing boats are tied along the bank, and the valley carries the smell of cut grass and boatyards rather than sunscreen. It is a working landscape of apartment blocks and residential lanes, quiet by 9pm away from the D8 highway.
The hotels on this list sit in those residential streets — addresses such as Srednji Kono, Gornji Kono, Ulica Pera Bakića and Srebrenska all fall inside the suburb, a short walk from the Kono bus stop and the fjord path towards Rožat. It is a base for long-stay renters, people travelling with a car and anyone catering their own meals, since Kono has a proper supermarket rather than a tourist minimarket. First-time visitors, anyone without transport, or anyone hoping to walk to a restaurant after dark are better off in Gruž or Lapad.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Kono has a bus to town every 20 minutes. From the Kono bus stop, walk down through the residential lanes on Ulica Slavka Kolara to the water, then follow the fjord path east towards Rožat past small boat sheds and reed beds to the Franciscan monastery, returning via the road on the ridge above; allow 45 minutes each way. For the nearest beach, Copacabana in Lapad, take the 1B bus and change at Gruž, roughly 20 minutes. Most people staying in Kono drive to a beach, since a car is already assumed for anyone based this far out.
Questions, answered
Can I walk from these hotels to the Old Town?
Kono is the furthest inland suburb of Dubrovnik, and the site's own guidance is that it does not suit anyone without transport. The bus to town runs every 20 minutes from the Kono stop; if your itinerary is built around the Old Town walls and the Stradun, staying in Gruž or Lapad is recommended instead.
Is there a beach in Kono?
No. There is no beach in Kono itself; the nearest is Copacabana in Lapad, roughly 20 minutes away on the 1B bus with a change at Gruž. Most guests here drive to a beach, and boat rental on the fjord is a reasonable substitute for a swim in cooler, calmer freshwater.
Are the nights quiet?
Residential streets away from the D8 highway are quiet by 9pm, with nothing open and little foot traffic. The only real nuisance is highway noise if your apartment faces the main road, so choose a valley-facing or water-facing unit — several apartments on this list, such as Apartments Imperial and Apartment Mir, list a terrace or garden.
Which hotels work for self-catering?
Accommodation Maria Di, Villa Katarina, Apartments Perović, Apartment Zana and Apartment Mir all list a kitchen or kitchenette. Kono also has a proper supermarket rather than a tourist minimarket, which is why it suits people catering their own meals.
Is parking available?
Accommodation Maria Di and Apartment Zana both list free car parking, and Apartment Carmen lists self parking. A car is assumed for anyone based this far out, and most guests drive to a beach rather than take the bus.
What is there to do on the fjord?
Kayaking the Rijeka Dubrovačka is one of Dubrovnik's underrated half-day activities — a freshwater river meeting the sea in a limestone gorge. On foot, the fjord path from the Kono bus stop east towards Rožat passes boat sheds and reed beds and reaches the Franciscan monastery, about 45 minutes each way.
Who is Kono not right for?
First-time visitors, anyone without transport, and anyone who wants to walk to a restaurant after dark. If your days are built around the Old Town, Lokrum and evening drinks on the Stradun, book in Gruž or Lapad and treat Kono as a place to pass through.
Do any hotels have a pool?
Apartments Nicol lists an outdoor pool and terrace, and is also wheelchair accessible. For water without a pool, the fjord itself is a short walk downhill from the Kono bus stop.
