Great hotel & Location
We stayed in the Hotel Argosy in September after reading the reviews here. I have to admit I definitely wasn't disappointed!! I found the staff to be all very friendly and helpful. The barman was great also, always brought drinks over to our table for us. The room was clean and comfortable and we had a fantastic view from our balcony, it was worth paying extra for the sea view. The buffet breakfast is very nice with a great selection of breads, fruit, cereal, eggs, cheeses, meats etc... The pool isn't great, but because the hotels... more

Dear chloe2k, thank you for this review, as well as extremely positive comments and the recommendation. We are glad that we have met your expectations and that you chose Dubrovnik and Argosy Hotel for your holiday. I would definitely recommend excursions to the surroundings of Dubrovnik, as well as to the neighbouring region. I am certain that you would enjoy that. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Best regards to Waterford.

Should be good in season
Went to the Argosy with my 14 year old daughter for a half term break, Hotel was clean and tidy if a bit dated. Unfortunately we were at the back end of the season and could find nothing to do except go into Dubrovnik old town and look at historical sites (great for me, but not so good for a teenage girl). That aside, the holiday was a time to relax and chill out, if we were to go back it would be in season when I'm sure the hotel would provide a lot more entertainment and fun.

Dear curly1963, thank you for the review. I would definitely recommend a visit at the peak of the season. You teenager would most certainly be satisfied with the facilities then. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Kind regards to you and you daughter, and, of course, to Warrington from Dubrovnik.

You can easily get lost in here!
And that is NOT a good thing! This is a terrific hotel, and the rooms are very nice and comfortable. But the place is laid out in a bizarre maze of hallways and stairways. I'm not sure how I was able to find the restaurant every day for breakfast - but I am sure glad I did! Wonderful selection, including American style pancakes (but no maple syrup), a fried egg station, bacon & sausage station and really good coffee. But sleep a little late, because most of the best stuff doesn't come out until 8:00 a.m. or later. The evening buffet is... more

Dear brodean, thank you for this review and positive comments. We are happy that you have not given up and that you managed to find your way through our hallways and stairways after all :). We hope to see you again. Until then, best regards to you and Washington DC from Dubrovnik. See you.

Great value for money
We spent 5nights at the Argosy Hotel in a superior sea-view room, which was well worth the additional supplement. First impressions of the hotel weren't that great as, after checking in and entering the lift, this looked rather shabby inside and the carpet on the corridor outside the lift was stained. I began to feel somewhat apprehensive, however when we got to our room we were more than satisfied. It was spacious, light and airy with new furnishings and the bathroom was modern, no hairdryer though but luckily I had taken one, and both were... more

Great value hotel as a base for exploring Dubrovnik
We have just got married in Dubrovnik and needed a hotel that was near Lapad and would be suitable for the whole family and reasonably priced. Some of our family had refurbished rooms and some were still yet to be upfdated, however the overall standard was good. They were large, clean and comfy with all the facilities you need. We found the reception staff on duty during the day shift to be extremely friendly and helpful. They arranged for my elderly mother to have a room on the same floor as the reception and entrance and really looked... more

Dear SuedenimManchester, thank you for the review. Best wishes to the newlyweds. Romantic Dubrovnik is a really good choice for a honeymoon. We hope to see you again. Visit us at the Adriatic. Kind regards to the entire family and Manchester.

Terrible service but ok room
We just returned from our honeymoon and Croatia and ended up staying our last 3 days in Dubrovnik at the Argosy Hotel. Most parts of the hotel were fine but I found the room to be mediocre at best for the money. The first night we were there, my husband saw a millipede and a few mosquitos/bugs in the room. When I informed the front desk host about it, she informed me that we already had one of the best rooms in the hotel and that there was not much she could do. When she asked me what happened with the millipede, I told her we killed it... more

Dear CP0525, thank you for the review. Best wishes to the newlyweds. Kind regards to Chicago.

Great Buffet
The hotel is situated about a 10 minutes walk from a pebble beach which was not that impressive. The hotel does have 2 pools although the very loud music being played spoils the otherwise quiet setting. However I discovered that residents can use the facilities of the nearby hotel President which is owned by the same chain. This hotel I would recommend. It has a much better pebble beach and raised concrete decking areas allowing you to dive into the sea. Although you can use their beach side resort you will be asked to pay a fee for the use... more

Dear Europe-traveller07, thank you for the review and positive comments. Thank you for the recommendation of the Dubrovnik President Hotel. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Best regards to Kent.

Clean Hotel, Fine for the price.
The Argosy Hotel is one of those large beach resorts that hope to attend to your every need - so you'll stay and spend your money on site. If you consider that the Argosy was build around the time Tito was on his last legs, you'll understand some of the heavy concrete and eastern bloc architectural touches. But that's all in the past and the Argosy is attempting to move on. They have done a fairly good job of updating, but it's a slow process. The dining room has been re-done and it is excellent. They serve a breakfast buffet that is... more

Dear westwilshire, thank you for the review. Visit us at the Adriatic again. Best regards to Los Angeles.

Never again - any place but here!
I've traveled quite a bit in the last few years, and hands down staying at the Argosy was one of my worst travel experiences. First off, the hotel is WAY out there, far away from any place in Dubrovnik that you'd like to go to. But you can't blame the hotel for that, and that has little to do with the low ranking I gave it. The front desk staff is flat-out rude. Getting any sort of directions or help was like pulling teeth. In addition, they held on to our passports for over 10 hours, claiming that it was a slow process... more

Dear SmooveO, thank you for the review. Best regards to Santa Monica.

Satisfactory hotel, good setting.
On seeing the Hotel Argosy from the outside your heart may skip a few beats, but I promise that when you walk in you get a much better picture of the hotel, although our reception into the hotel was frosty and we did find the reception staff very unfriendly during our stay. Our room was basic, but clean and fairly modern and we had a nice balcony overlooking the sea, which was a bonus as we had forgot to ask for this! Be warned there are no hairdryers in the room, even though it is advertised that there will be one. The food in... more
