Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

I had an amazing time staying at the Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik. After a stressful car issue in Bosnia forced me to change my plans abruptly and head to Dubrovnik instead of Kotor, the hotel welcomed me with such warmth and professionalism. From the moment I stepped in until the moment I checked out, the service was flawless. The room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and stocked with all the amenities you’d ever need plus thoughtful extras. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything felt clean, premium, and well-maintained. I stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the Dubrovnik coastline, and it was absolutely worth it. Sitting outside with a view of the Old Town and the endless horizon was truly special. The bathroom was also generous in size, with a large bathtub perfect for soaking after a long day of exploring. Morning breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of high-quality options that tasted just as good as they looked. The location couldn’t be more perfect. It’s an easy and pleasant walk to and from Old Town, making it convenient yet still peaceful.

Large hotel 5 mins walk from the gates to the old city. Property is right on the water and any of the sea view rooms - we had one - have spectacular views and sunsets. Hotel has its own direct private access to the sea via ladders (the area is very rocky so there is little sand, although the hotel is also beside a small sandy public beach). Rooms and hotel are very clean and maintained but are probably at full modern 5-star standard in terms of full contemporary fit-out, but they are definately upper end 4-star. Some areas have been fully refitted but some bathrooms are a little older - still to a good 4-star standard - but if you are looking for high-end 5-star, maybe not. Facilities are at a 5-star level and the complimentary spa has a huge heated indoor pool, several jacuzzis, a large sauna, steam room and roman baths. Hotel has a full gym, a large senic contenporary bar and veranda, and very good breakfasts (full range of buffett and cooked options), and good room service food. Staff are very helpful and very professional and responsive. I think if you are looking for really high-end utra 5-star, this may disappoint. If you are okay at upper 4-star, then the certainly the location, views, and facilities will impress.

My wife and I spent three nights at the Hotel Excelsior while exploring the Old Town and the Elafiti Islands. Our room was very clean and comfortable and had an outstanding, near 180 degree view from the balcony, including Lokrum Island and the Old Town marina and walls. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The location is perfect: just a few minutes walk to the Old Town but far enough to escape the crowds and find some peace and relaxation either on the balcony, in the steam room or sauna, or on the waterfront deck for a swim. We very much enjoyed our stay and I cannot imagine a better choice, especially for a first time visitor to Dubrovnik, if seeing the Old Town is a priority.

Fantastic location with accommodating service. I’m not sure I’d rate this a 5 star hotel based on our stay, but they work very hard to maintain the grounds and are incredibly welcoming. Our room was 114, fair warning, do NOT book this room. It says garden view, but the window opened up to absolutely nothing (we felt so boxed in with no view of anything). Like the back of the house with a bush and railing.. it was so odd. For that reason it is hard to rate this 5 stars. The room itself is very nice and large esp from EU. The breakfast was OK. The buffet was 80% foods you’d eat for lunch or dinner. The menu to order from was good. The beach area was gorgeous. We did book day trips thru concierge for Bosnia and Montenegro. Our driver was Mario and he was OUTSTANDING. Honestly, he made the trip. Give that man a raise and vacation! We booked a boat trip too and the captain + drives were fantastic. Highly recommend booking any excursion thru the hotel! We were a little bummed the only dinner option was the very pricey fine dining restaurant, but there are many options walking distance. I think this is the best hotel to book in the area so def recommend just be prepared for a few of the above things!

Beautiful, modern hotel with exquisite views and exceptional accommodations. Multiple restaurants offer delicious dining options. The staff is kind and professional. And a swim in the adjacent Adriatic Sea is a must.
