The staff were lovely and really accommodating. They gave reviews of local places and advice. Nera was extremely good. Would recommend to friends about the good location and affordable cost in comparison to the rest of Dubrovnik.

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.
