We had a 4 day break in October and stayed at the Excelsior. For 4 days the hotel was tremendous. The location is absolutely superb with quick walkable access straight into the old town. Less than 10 mins. We had breakfast each day which offered an excellent choice. The views of the sea and old town are incredible especially at night enjoying a drink in the bar. The service was good especially from the front desk. For a 4 day break I would highly recommend this hotel. Each year we stay in another 5 star hotel in a different part of Europe and the Excelsior does not quite reach those standards but I would not hesitate booking another stay here. For those people wanting to have a short stay and explore the magnificent Dubrovnik this is the place to stay.

This is a top class hotel in a stunning waterfront location, only 5 minutes walk from the entrance to Dubrovnik Old Town. We never tired of the view of The Old Town from the balcony of our bedroom and the terrace of the breakfast restaurant. The facilities are of a high standard and extras such as complimentary face masks, bottled water and fruit bowl on arrival, and the chocolates on the pillows each evening, were appreciated. Guests using the outdoor swimming area could avail of sun loungers, umbrellas and towels from the Spa. There were plenty of hand sanitising stations and covid protocols signs around the hotel. Mask compliance was exemplary throughout the hotel. We ate breakfast at the hotel each morning and the choice of hot and cold food and beverages was excellent. Staff were very professional, friendly and helpful at all times. We had originally booked to stay in a sister hotel and were switched to the Excelsior. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return again.

Well positioned on the water, making it wonderful to jump in for a swim, but the hotel is located on a passage used by boats so the water is often very choppy. The hotel is an easy 10 minute walk to the Old Town and the good rooms do have a good view of the sea. Our original room was tiny and with the position of the desk, it was impossible to get to the far side of the bed without moving the desk chair. We complained about several deficiencies in the room and were moved to a suite which was excellent. Staff, breakfasts, ambiance not nearly as nice as its sister hotel Bellevue.
