"Occupying a 19th-century building with a garden and an outdoor pool, Hotel Lapad overlooks Gruž harbor, just a 15-minute walk west of the Old Town."
Lonely Planet
"Handsome historic hotel with sleek decor and mod furnishings (but beware the cheesy entertainment)."

Star Service
"The location is pinched between the striking single-pylon Franjo Trudjman Bridge and the cruise ship terminal, a 10-minute bus ride to the old city and most scenic side of the peninsula."

Superior Sea View units are the ones to request, and tranquility seekers should opt for a room away from the pool.
Time Out
"Handy for Lapad and the Old Town, and a ten-minute walk from the ferry port and bus station."

Upscale
"The 163-room Hotel Lapad is an upscale property located on Gruz Bay, less than a 10-minute drive to the sights in Dubrovnik's Old Town and a 10-minute walk to a rocky beach."
