The hostel is located on a steep hill and cannot be reached by taxi or Bolt, so be prepared to carry your luggage up many stairs. While luggage storage after check-out is available for a fee, guests are not allowed to use the shower afterward. The receptionist also insisted that we pay the luggage storage fee in cash before leaving the hostel, rather than when we returned to collect our bags. This meant we had to make an unnecessary trip to an ATM, including walking up and down the steep stairs.

Hostelworld says

Fresh Sheets has already received rave reviews by Rough Guide and Lonely Planet, so we?re a little late to the party. The views over the old town walls and out to sea are beautiful and the hostel is near two cliff side bars where locals get a little ?Dutch courage? before launching themselves into the water below. They also arrange social nights at a nearby bar, making it easy to meet other travellers (perhaps you?ll even meet a Lannister as Tyrion stayed here). It might be the only hostel in Dubrovnik, but it certainly doesn?t rest on its laurels.
