Well-positioned hotel (just a short walk down the hill to old town Dubrovnik) with a lovely view and great pool/jacuzzi area.?? The service was 5 star - attentive and responsive.?? Our room was a little unusual - we had a large column in it, which was interesting for a hotel so recently renovated.?? But other than the room design, it was a very comfortable stay with all the creature comforts of an excellent hotel.?? We give an extra bonus for the breakfast service which was very attentive, especially considering everything had to be delivered to the table instead of a self-service buffet.????

We stayed at the Excelsior for 8 days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. From the moment that we arrived we had a wonderful experience. We received a bottle of fizz and a room upgrade. The views from the hotel are amazing. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. The hotel took the pandemic seriously and the hotel was very clean throughout. The hotel is a short and pleasant walk to the old town. We ate at both restaurants and would recommend both. We can very much recommend this hotel and would not think of staying anywhere else when we next visit Dubrovnik! All in all we had a wondeful stay at the Excelsior.

Beautiful location, just on the edge of the old town, with an unbeatable view of the city, but only a short walk to the centre.
Our luggage was spray cleaned and our temperatures checked on arrival, with staff wearing masks.
Our sea view room was probably what I???d describe as a bit more of a side sea view, but it was a good size and we could see the island of Lokrum and received a complimentary bottle of fizz to help celebrate our anniversary.
Breakfast was included, and served a la carte but had all the choice you would expect from a buffet style offering.
The Abakus piano bar (whilst we never saw the piano actually played) has a beautiful terrace, happy hour deals and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Both venues have the same beautiful view across to the old town.
We had thought to visit the restaurant Prora, however as they were not serving dinner and only lunch, we instead enjoyed some bar food at Abakus.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Dubrovnik.

Unbeatable location just minutes from the old town. This hotel has history, style and sophistication. We stayed for 3 nights and upgraded to a room with a sea view balcony in Villa Odak, the original part of the building overlooking Lokrum island and the old town. The bedroom was very quiet and comfortable. The hotel wasn't full, so no problem getting loungers on the sun deck and the indoor pool was usually empty. Service was always extremely friendly and helpful - which wasn't always the case with this hotel in the past. Free valet parking was a plus. Loved pre dinner drinks on the terrace. Breakfast is served at your table and even though the staff do their best, we felt that it wasn't quite as good as the pre Covid buffet; what can you do? But Sensus fine dining restaurant was excellent. Overall, a fabulous, relaxing stay.
