3 handpicked hostels in Dubrovnik, sorted by traveler rating.
Dubrovnik's hostel scene splits between two addresses: the Old Town's €15+ dorms on stair-laddered lanes inside the walls, and the Gruž port district 2 km northwest where Hostel 365 For U, Petra Marina and Sol all run at half the price with a 10-minute bus to Pile Gate. Buza Bar cliff drinks, Banje Beach sunrise swims, and the 8am wall walk (before the cruise crowd) are what every hostel hands you at check-in.

Hostel 365 For U
Dubrovnik's highest-rated hostel at 8.8, in Gruž port district 2 km from Old Town. Newly renovated 2023, stylish dorms with reading lights and personal lockers, full shared kitchen, staff-led walking tours, free breakfast, and rooftop terrace. A 10-minute bus 1A/1B ride drops you at Pile Gate — half the dorm price of anything inside the walls.
Hostel Petra Marina
Small-format pod-style hostel on the Lapad promenade edge, 2 minutes from Gruž catamaran terminal and 12 minutes by bus to Pile Gate. Capsule bunks with full curtains, reading lights, charging ports and large personal lockers — the closest thing in Dubrovnik to a Japanese pod hotel at a backpacker price point. Quiet by design, female dorm available, bike rental at reception.
Hostel Sol
Newly renovated 2024 waterfront hostel on Obala Ivana Pavla II in Gruž, 1 minute from the main intercity bus station and 3 minutes from the catamaran terminal. Compact dorms and privates with a sea-view terrace, shared kitchen, staff-run walking tours, and the cheapest starter rate in Dubrovnik proper. Bus 1A/1B to Pile Gate in 10 minutes.
