Hostel Petra Marina

Beneath the limestone ridge separating Dubrovnik's port from the Old Town walls, Hostel Petra Marina sits on Obala Stjepana Radića facing the Gruž harbor ferries rather than the tourist crush inside Ploče Gate. The Old Town entrance is a fifteen-minute walk along the waterfront, making this a practical base for backpackers and budget travellers wanting harbor views without historic-centre prices.

Dorm and private rooms face either the working harbor or the ridge behind; harbor-side rooms catch the early ferry departures to the islands. A shared kitchen and terrace overlook the loading docks where the Elaphiti Islands ferries depart each morning.
