Has anyone stayed at a backpacker hostel in Dubrovnik? Any info welcome..thanks

In 2003 the hostel in Dubrovnik was woted as one of the best in Europe.

The youth hostel resides outside the Old Town, near Bourbon Street, a jugular of Dubrovnik night life. You get there after a 10min walk from the bus station (follow ulica Ante Starčevića) and it takes you 15min to get to the old town via ulica Ante Starčevića, as well.

Once you get there you will find quaint marble streets and splendid buildings in the old town, swimming in the cool, quiet Adriatic, sleepy nights at the open air cinema, salty sea food all amounting to conclusion made by G.B.Shaw.
You have to go there to know what is it all about.
Hostel has 82 beds, be sure to book in advance.

Facilities:
- terrace restaurant
- membership kitchen
- TV room

Thanks!

The hostel is excellent, and the location is great, you have to check out the cocktails at caffe bar XL a few doors up the road, very good and cheap. There's loads of other bars too.

It's about a 15 minute walk (a little longer in heat with your pack though) from the old town, and only 2 minutes from Hotel Bellevue, which has an excellent beach you can use for 10kuna a day (about £1, $1.50).
