3-star hotels in Ploče
A shortlist of 15 three-star stays in Dubrovnik's Ploče district, from studio apartments to garden guesthouses. It is written for couples and older travellers who want quiet nights close to the Old Town, and for anyone who prefers a kitchen to a hotel restaurant.
Staying in Ploče
Ploče is the residential quarter east of Dubrovnik's walls, and it is the closest eastern area to the Old Town — closer than Lapad or Gruž. Banje beach and the five-star cliff hotels sit along the coast, while the streets climbing past the switchback bends of Iva Vojnovića thin out into pine woods where the coast road's noise disappears. Up there you find a bakery, a hairdresser, a laundromat and ordinary daily life rather than tourist infrastructure; by 9pm the only sounds are cicadas and the odd scooter heading down to the old port.
The hotels on this list sit on exactly those slopes. Several addresses — Put Od Bosanke, Bosanka, Zlatni Potok — place them on the wooded upper lanes, while Vlaha Bukovca and Frana Supila put others nearer the cliff hotels and the water. Ploče suits couples and older travellers who want quiet nights, and it comes into its own for anyone who values a five-minute downhill walk to Ploče Gate for dinner. It does not suit backpackers or families needing self-catering kitchens, and the last buses back from Pile thin out after 11pm.
The shortlist
Ranked by hotel class, then guest rating and number of reviews.
Peric Rooms Dubrovnik
12 Brgatska Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Kitchen
- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereA 4.7 rating from 62 guest reviews puts Peric Rooms Dubrovnik among the best-reviewed 3-star addresses here. Stays are set up for self-catering, with a kitchen and dishwasher alongside air conditioning, a hairdryer and free wifi, so a longer visit does not mean eating out every night. A balcony extends the living space, and a cot can be arranged for families with a baby. It suits guests who want their own cooking facilities, a bit of outdoor space and a place that has already been tested by dozens of previous visitors.

Petra Kresimira Iv 24, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Kitchen
- Air conditioning
Why stay hereThe guest rating at Apartmani Mirko stands at 5.0 from 7 reviews. The apartment opens onto a garden and a terrace, and a kitchen with a fridge lets you prepare meals rather than go out. Air conditioning keeps rooms comfortable, a TV and telephone are listed, and room service is available. It suits travellers who prefer a quiet, low-key base with outdoor space to a large hotel, and couples or small families who cook for themselves and value a garden to sit in.

Bosanka 62A, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Best for: Pool and spa · Business trips
- Swimming pool
- Spa
Why stay hereVilla Darrer is listed with a swimming pool, a spa and a business centre, an unusual combination for a 3-star property and one that covers both downtime and work. Days can be built around the pool and the spa, with a business centre to fall back on when a trip mixes obligations with leisure. It is the pick on this list for anyone who wants facilities on site rather than a self-contained apartment, whether travelling for work or simply wanting everything in one place.

Kolocepska 12, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Best for: Pool and spa · Step-free access
- Spa
- Wheelchair accessible
Why stay hereA terrace, wheelchair access, fishing and horse riding all appear among the facilities at Apartments Kiki, alongside a spa. That mix points to a stay built around days outside: the water and the saddle are both covered, and the terrace gives you somewhere to sit once you are back. Guests who rely on wheelchair access will find it stated here, which is not the case for most of the other 3-star properties on this shortlist. It suits active travellers who want options close at hand.
See Apartments KikiApartments Cvjetkovic
Put Od Bosanke 24 24, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Best for: Drivers
- Self Parking
Why stay hereApartments Cvjetkovic keeps things simple. The property is a small one, with a total of between 1 and 50 rooms and fewer than 10 floors, and self parking is available on site. A bathroom is listed among the amenities. That is a short list, and deliberately so: it appeals to drivers who want somewhere compact to stop and to guests who would rather have parking sorted than a long roster of extras. Choose it if a small building and a parking space matter more to you than facilities.

Vlaha Bukovca 25, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Kitchen
- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereApartments Kirigin is equipped for stays where you unpack properly rather than live out of a suitcase: a kitchen with a dishwasher, a bath in the bathroom, and air conditioning. Free wifi and internet access keep things connected, and a cot is available for guests travelling with an infant. A hairdryer and an iron and board round out the practical side. It suits longer stays and families who want the routines of home, from cooking to bathing children, rather than hotel service.

Suncana 7, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Beach nearby
- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereThe beach is nearby, which shapes a stay at Bonbon Luxury Studio, and a garden gives you outdoor space away from the sand as well. Air conditioning, free wifi and a hairdryer cover the basics, cleaning is listed among the amenities, and a DVD player and alarm clock are among the extras. It suits couples or solo travellers who want to alternate beach days with quiet time in a garden, and who like a studio that is properly maintained rather than self-run.

Suncana 20000 Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Kitchen
- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereApartments Maja pairs a kitchen and kitchenette with air conditioning, free wifi and a garden, and adds a laundry service for longer trips. A cot makes it workable for families with a baby, and internet access keeps devices online. Guests who want to alternate cooking in with going out have the kitchenette option, while the garden gives children somewhere to play. It is a sensible choice for a week-long family stay where self-catering and laundry matter more than on-site dining.

Ulica Kralja Petra Krešimira Iv 20, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Best for: Drivers
- Free car parking
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereArriving by car, you have somewhere to leave it; planning the next day, you have a connection. The apartment itself is a single-bedroom set-up, so it fits a couple or a solo traveller rather than a group. It is the most pared-back option on this shortlist, the right pick if you want a straightforward, self-contained base and do not need a pool, a spa or a garden.

Zlatni Potok 13, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Beach nearby
- Air conditioning
Why stay hereA balcony and a beach nearby are the facts that define Sea View Apartments Stella Maris, and the name says the rest. Inside, air conditioning, a bath and a kitchen with dishwasher, coffee maker and DVD player cover both short and long stays. A cot and a fan are also listed, which helps in warm weather and with a baby in tow. It suits guests who want to be close to the water and come back to a full apartment with outdoor space.
See Sea View Apartments Stella MarisGuest House Enny
Put Od Bosanke 15, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Air conditioning
- Internet access
Why stay hereGuest House Enny is a non-smoking property with air conditioning, a terrace and internet access. The list is compact and it defines the stay: rooms kept smoke-free, a terrace to sit out on at the end of the day, and a connection for planning tomorrow. It suits guests who want a guesthouse rather than a full apartment, simpler than self-catering and with outdoor space attached, and travellers who particularly value a smoke-free environment for the nights they sleep there.

Zlatni Potok 28, Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Kitchen
- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereApartment Vedrana has a balcony, a kitchen with oven and microwave, and air conditioning, enough to cook properly and eat outside. Free wifi and internet access keep you connected, a coffee maker is listed, and the property is non-smoking. A hairdryer and an iron and board are there for the practical side. It suits couples and small families who want to shop, cook and eat on a balcony rather than rely on restaurants, and who prefer a smoke-free building.

- Free Wifi
Why stay hereFamily rooms, a balcony and express check-in are the headline facilities at Apartments Novak, with air conditioning, free wifi and a desk for anyone mixing a trip with work. A DVD player and coffee maker are also listed, and cleaning features among the amenities. The family rooms make it a practical option for parents, while express check-in shortens the arrival. It fits guests who want apartment-style space that works for children and for a laptop without moving to a larger hotel.

- Air conditioning
- Free Wifi
Why stay hereRooms&Studios Rina lists air conditioning, free wifi and internet access, plus luggage storage and non-smoking rooms.

It suits travellers passing through who want a simple stay without apartment-style housekeeping, and anyone who values being able to drop luggage and head straight out.

Where to stay in Ploče
Put Od Bosanke
The upper lanes off Put Od Bosanke are where the apartments thin out into pine woods and the coast road's noise disappears entirely. This is the part of Ploče locals actually live in — a bakery, a hairdresser, a laundromat — rather than tourist infrastructure. By 9pm the only sound is cicadas and the odd scooter heading down to the old port.
Our picks here: Apartments Cvjetkovic · Guest House Enny · Rooms&Studios Rina
Zlatni Potok
Zlatni Potok lies on the residential slope between the cliff hotels and the upper woods, and both stays here have balconies. Tourists rarely climb this high unless they have booked a room with a garden rather than a sea view, so nights stay quiet, and the walk down to Ploče Gate is the five-minute stretch the district is known for.
Our picks here: Sea View Apartments Stella Maris · Apartment Vedrana
Vlaha Bukovca
Vlaha Bukovca is one of the leafy residential lanes passed on the walk from Ploče Gate out towards Banje beach and the cliff hotels. Apartments Kirigin sits here with air conditioning, a kitchen and a bath, on a street that stays well lit and busy until midnight.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Ploče Gate, the eastern entrance to the walls, is a five-minute walk from the cliff hotels on Frana Supila and closer still from the guesthouses on Vlaha Bukovca, which makes this the closest area to the Old Town on the eastern side — closer than Lapad or Gruž. The walk down is easy; the climb back up after dinner is the catch. Buses 5 and 8 serve the main road, and the last buses back from Pile thin out after 11pm. The coast road past Banje beach and Frana Supila leads on to Vlaha Bukovca.
When to go
Summer brings the crowds: Banje gets busy by 11am in July, and the exposed stretch of the coastal walk above Banje is best started after 4pm to dodge the sun. August is when the climb home after dinner is mentioned twice by anyone who has done it. The cruise-ship crush in the walled city runs from 10am to 4pm, so mornings and evenings are calmer. Outside high summer the residential lanes of Ploče are quiet year-round, and the cicadas that fill the evenings are a warm-weather sound.
