Braavos

Braavos Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Braavos on Put Gimnazije, you immediately get the sense that this three-star hotel punches above its weight. The building sits in what locals consider the best part of Šibenik — and honestly, after spending time here, I can see why it earned that 9.4 location score. There’s something refreshing about finding a place that doesn’t try to be flashy but just gets everything right.

The Perfect Šibenik Base

You know what I love about this spot? It’s actually in the heart of things without feeling touristy or overwhelming. The old town’s cobblestone streets are right at your doorstep, and you can easily walk to the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James in just a few minutes. I mean, you’re literally staying in the top-rated area of the city — couples seem to figure this out quickly, which explains why so many of them end up here for romantic getaways. The neighborhood has that authentic Croatian charm where you’ll hear locals chatting in cafés rather than just tour groups passing through.

Smart Practical Details

Here’s something that’ll save you headaches — they have free private parking right on site. Trust me, if you’ve ever tried to find parking in a historic Croatian city center, you’ll appreciate this more than any fancy amenity. The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, nothing fancy but everything worked properly. The air conditioning actually cooled the space (not always a given), and the Wi-Fi was solid throughout the building. Sometimes it’s the basics done well that make all the difference.

Local Insights Worth Knowing

The staff here actually know their city, which sounds obvious but isn’t always the case. They pointed me toward a little restaurant about two blocks away that I never would’ve found on my own — the kind of place where the menu changes based on what the fishermen brought in that morning. From Braavos, you can also walk to the waterfront in about five minutes, where there are boats heading to the Kornati Islands if you’re into day trips. The hotel sits perfectly between the historic core and the modern part of town, so you get the best of both worlds.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a place that’ll wow you with marble lobbies or rooftop pools, but it delivers exactly what most travelers actually need. The location alone — being in Šibenik’s most desirable area — means you’re saving time and money on transportation while staying somewhere that feels authentically Croatian. That 9.1 rating doesn’t come from flashy marketing; it comes from guests who appreciate a hotel that simply works well. Whether you’re using it as a base for exploring Krka National Park or just want to soak up the atmosphere of one of Croatia’s most underrated coastal cities, Braavos gives you everything you need without any of the fuss you don’t.

Reviews of Braavos

• Exceptional – Karolina from Poland (10/10)

  There was nothing we could complain about. The apartament was absolutely gorgeous, everything we needed was there. The location was perfect, a walking distance to the city centre. And on top of that the owner is a lovely,friendly and extremely welcoming lady:) We wish to thank from the bottom of our heart for everything!

• Great place for families, sweet host and the best-priced accomodation around. – Hari from Austria (9/10)

  The host is amazing, she's super sweet and attentive and ready to provide you information about the area. The price was unbeatable. We were two families staying together and the place could accommodate all of us and more. Her small garden outside is nice and diverse and a pair of turtles live there that the kids adored. It's well-connected to amenities has a large and well-equipped kitchen. The AC was wonderful (and necessary). The place comes with 2 parking spaces. There appeared to be many more locals than tourists in the town (which we liked), but still English fluency was high everywhere.

  Appartement spacieux sur deux étages dans une petite propriété à deux pas du centre ville. Petit jardin privatif. Literie confortable Ensemble très propre. Suffisamment équipé en ustensiles de cuisine.

• Very good – Gui from Belgium (8/10)

  Ruim appartement met 3 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Een groot pluspunt is de gereserveerde parkeerruimte. In Sibenik is dit een niet te onderschatten voordeel. We werden opgewacht door de vriendelijke dame die een ander gedeelte van het huis bewoont.

• Very good – Brigitte from France (8/10)

  Situation près de la vieille ville, 15 minutes à pied. Appartement au calme à l'arrière de la maison. Très bon accueil.
