Hostel Angelina Old Town is a social hostel inside Dubrovnik's historic city walls, with mixed dorms, private rooms, a shared kitchen, common room and terrace. Its central location makes it particularly convenient for travelers who want to explore Dubrovnik's main attractions on foot.

Accommodation is spread between a main hostel building and three annex buildings within the Old Town, so the room you sleep in may not be in the same building as reception and the main social facilities.
