We didn't actually stay at the Excelsior, however I feel compelled to comment. Walking past it tonight after dinner we were stunned at what we saw in the Excelsior. From the road side footpath we saw a number of bathrooms as we passed. We could see double basins, baths and toilets. This is a busy path! I commented to my husband about this extraordinary sight and he laughed because there not just of another bathroom a woman's lower legs. She was obviously sitting on the toilet! Really?!? The building design is appalling.

The combination of the beautiful hotel, with a gorgeous view of the sea, lovely area to relax by the water, delicious food, wonderful staff, and exceptional service made our stay truly special. The area with the indoor pool, steam, sauna and jaccuzzi was spectacular. Thank you to the entire Hotel Excelsior team for making our stay unforgettable. Close proximity to the Old Town made it the perfect location! We would be delighted to return and recommend it to friends and family. Bravo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stayed at Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik and had a partial sea view. However, the room was very small and felt cramped. A large black column inside the room made it difficult to move around, and it was especially hard to see at night, creating a potentially dangerous area. So far, my experience has also been that some employees do not seem genuinely interested in their work, which affects the overall service and guest experience. The hotel itself is nice, and the location is excellent. It is within walking distance of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, restaurants, souvenir shops, and other attractions. Compared with Hotel Croatia in Cavtat, the room at Excelsior felt much smaller and less comfortable. The hotel has a beautiful setting, but the room did not meet my expectations. The shops around Dubrovnik were not particularly impressive compared with those in Greece, Türkiye, or Italy. However, the Old Town itself is magical, with historic stone streets, medieval architecture, and an atmosphere that makes you feel as though you have stepped into another time. Overall, the location and Old Town experience were the highlights, while the small room, poorly visible column, and lack of enthusiasm from some employees were the biggest disappointments.
