Location is exceptional - that???s probably the standout. Just a few minutes walk to the Old Town but it feels like miles away when you are sitting overlooking the beach and the light dimming over the Adriatic.
The property is in exceptional condition and incredibly clean. The rooms were generous, the fixtures new and contemporary, plugs everywhere and a great flat screen TV.
The bathroom was oversized with an excellent rain head shower and an abundance of great towels.
The food was fine - perhaps not exceptional and the main dining room so large that it lacked intimacy. However, it had a generous outdoor seating area that was outstanding with every seat essentially ocean view. It was superior to practically any other competitive dining area and the service excellent.
My only criticism was that the elevators were confusing. The reception is on the 4th and the rest of the floors decline to -4. So there were always people getting off on the wrong floor or wondering where they were. My floor was -1 or something and it never made sense.
This is simply a remarkable property at a great price. I highly recommend.

My parents recently stayed at this hotel and it was absolutely perfect. Of course, the location could not have been any better - the view of the Old City of Dubrovnik and its proximity are unbeatable. The beach is easily accessible by elevator and quite spacious. The restaurants (on the beach and on the terrace) are nicely appointed but the buffet breakfast was the best! Amazing choice of food and coffees to enjoy. The sea view room in the old part of the hotel was beautiful but quite small. Everything is computerized which is great for younger folk but my parents were a bit confused. Thankfully, service is impeccable on every level and someone is always there to help. From the bell boys to the reception desk employees, to restaurants' and cleaning staff, everyone was extremely helpful and professional. Highly recommend in every way!!! Enjoy

We were originally booked in another hotel and changed to the Excelsior. So glad we did! It???s a short walk to the old city with spectacular views of the Adriatic and the old city. The room was lovely. The staff was great and the food and drinks were great. They actually know how to make a Manhattan. I???d stay again if I was to come back.
It was nice to relax on the lower deck and swim in the sea after a day of touring.

My wife and I spent three nights at the Hotel Excelsior in Dubrovnik in mid-September 2019. It was a nice stay.
The hotel is located a short walk from Old Town Dubrovnik and is modern. I believe it was renovated recently. The hotel is built into the side of the hillside and is on the Adriatic Sea. The floor numbering is a bit unusual, with the reception on the fourth floor, with floors numbered from -2 through zero to 7. We were on floor zero, room 001.
The reception area is modern and fairly simple, with nice views towards the sea and Old Town.
Entrance to your room is with a contactless key card.
Our room was adequately large, especially considering European hotel standards. The bed was large and reasonably firm, which I like. The bath has two sinks, a shower and a tub. The towels were large and fluffy. There was a full complement of amenities.
There was no coffee maker but they did have a hot water pot and instant coffee which was not bad. There's a refrigerator mini bar with coffee creamer and other things.
The closet is adequately large. There's a room safe which locks and unlocks with your room key but is a bit small. I could not get my laptop into the safe.
Internet access is great. Connecting to the hotel Wi-Fi does not require any special passcodes and the speed of the connection is very good. I ran a speed test and was impressed with the speed.
The restaurant is on the -1 floor and has a terrace facing the sea. Breakfast was very complete and service was good.
The staff was uniformly great - helpful, polite, good English speakers. Couldn't ask for more.
All-in-all, a great hotel and a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
