What an elite hotel experience! Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik was so gorgeous, clean, and elegant, with a very friendly staff. It's a perfect location along the water, very close walking distance to Old Town. The staff were great and so kind in helping me celebrate my birthday. I went to the Energy Clinic spa for a massage, and they brought me a cake with a candle! It was so thoughtful and kind. Plus, the massage was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel - do not skip the spa!

Great hotel with superb view of the old city. Had room on the lower floor but with a nice wide terrase which gave a nice view if the town, super access to the beach just below and breakfast. Big room with a good bed and wide bathroom with a good shower. The breakfast is good, tasty food and wide sekection, with a good flat white and was great to Eat on the terase evening it was winter. We even had svim in the Sea which was 15 degrees. New Year dinner was great and the fireworks was great. Overall a good stay, friendly staff and great city.

Great views across the water of the old town, lovely big beds and spacious suites. Superb breakfast - masses of choice and everything fresh - on the terrace overlooking Lokrum island. Big spa with several saunas/Turkish baths, though the gym's not that well equipped and is perched on a narrow floor overlooking the pool, which is however big with 2 jacuzzis. Staff are professional and friendly, though at breakfast tend to whisk away your plates too enthusiastically, finished or not. Also the new wing, while luxurious inside, is an modernist eyesore and clashes with the beauty of the old town when viewed from the sea. Apart from that I can't fault it. An extra gold star for refunding me when the price dropped subsequently after I paid in advance. Well done.

We were in Dubrovnik in the low season and had a chance to experience a room with sea view in both parts of the hotel ( villa odak & the tower). This hotel has spectacular view of the sea and old town, a nice and easy walk to the old town, and professional service on many levels. The piano bar level is spacious and modern to lounge in down time. As we were here in November, we did not have a chance to experience the outdoor part of the hotel, but with much fewer guests, we sometimes felt like we had the hotel all to ourselves. Our stay couldn’t be more special. The restaurant on site was nothing compared to the quality/value of the restaurants in old town, but overall this hotel delivers in most aspects.

We had a wonderful short break and very glad we chose this hotel. Ideally placed overlooking the Old Town and a great time of year to visit as not busy at all. The breakfast buffet was one of the best, so much choice. Staff very friendly and helpful.
