Dubrovnik is literally surging with backpackers, although the only officially registered hostel within the Old-Town walls for the past few seasons has been Fresh Sheets, run by an engaging Croatian-Canadian couple. Squeezed into a tall thin house at the top of several flights of steps, the hostel comprises three floors of (mostly bunk-bed) dorms, with a shower/WC on each floor. Private doubles can also be arranged in one of the buildings nearby. The reception-cum-common room makes socializing easy, and you can forage for breakfast ingredients (included in the price) in the communal kitchenette.
Open mid-March to mid-Oct.
Rates €27-€32 dorm bed; €65-€80 private double.
Facilities Internet: High-speed (free).
