"Our stay at Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and the level of hospitality throughout our stay was genuinely exceptional. The location is spectacular — the hotel is just steps from the water, with gorgeous views over the Adriatic, and it’s also within a short walk of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. It was the perfect balance of being close to all the action while still feeling peaceful and luxurious. Our room was stunning and incredibly comfortable, and waking up to those views over the water was honestly unforgettable. The hotel itself is beautiful, but what really made our stay stand out was the staff. The concierge and entire team were so friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We were also celebrating a birthday during our stay, and the hotel went completely above and beyond to make it special. The kitchen team prepared a beautiful cake for us, the room was decorated for the celebration, and they even arranged non-alcoholic champagne after taking the time to understand our dietary restrictions. Those thoughtful details meant so much to us and made the celebration feel incredibly personal. Breakfast was another highlight — an amazing selection, great quality, and an incredible setting overlooking the water. It was the perfect way to start each morning. Between the breathtaking location, beautiful rooms, incredible food, and—most importantly—the genuinely exceptional staff, Hotel Excelsior gave us a stay we’ll remember for a very long time. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! 11/10!"

"Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik was absolutely beautiful and truly made our time in Croatia so special. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to Old Town, yet it feels peaceful and tucked away with the most incredible views of the Adriatic. The food was fantastic, and what really stood out to us was the people. Everyone we encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and gracious, which can make all the difference when you’re traveling. Between the stunning setting, amazing location, delicious food, and wonderful hospitality, we had such a memorable stay. Dubrovnik completely stole our hearts, and Hotel Excelsior was a big part of that. We will absolutely be back!"

"Beautiful hotel, in a perfect location, walking distance to the old town (10 minutes). Perfect distance from the hustle and bustle but close enough of a walk to all the resto, boutique and landmarks. The outdoor area is perfect for sun bathing and cooling off in the water. We had dinner at their restaurant Prora, the view, service and food were excellent. All the staff were attentive, helpful and kind. I highly recommend this hotel."

"Superb hotel in an excellent position with fantastic vies of the old town. Excellent and helpful staff. Room was fantastic and indoor pool excellent."

"This year marked 10 years since my wife and I first started returning to Hotel Excelsior, and once again, we had a wonderful stay. This time, we spent seven days at the hotel. We particularly enjoy staying in the Tower rooms overlooking the sea. The rooms are modern, the mattresses are extremely comfortable, and the housekeeping team ensures that everything remains spotless, clean, and tidy throughout the stay. The hotel’s location is also exceptional—directly by the sea and only around a ten-minute walk from Dubrovnik’s Old Town. What truly makes Hotel Excelsior special, however, is its Croatian staff. Their warmth, friendliness, and personal attention make every stay an unforgettable experience. Katija, the Reservations Manager, has always been exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout the many years we have been visiting. At the front desk, Marko and Mario made the check-in process smooth and efficient, while the doormen took excellent care of our luggage and were always ready to assist. As always, a particular highlight of our stay was Chef Petar Obad***. He genuinely cares about his guests and checked in with us every day to ask what we had enjoyed and what we might like to try. Knowing how much we love authentic Croatian cuisine, he prepared several local speciality dishes for us that were not always available on the regular menu. This personal attention made our every day lunches at the Prora Beach Restaurant especially memorable. The restaurant has a beautiful seaside location and is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed lunch. After ten years of returning to Hotel Excelsior, we continue to appreciate its outstanding location, comfortable rooms, beautiful sea views and, most importantly, the exceptional people who make every visit feel personal and special. We look forward to returning again next year. If you are a foodie like me, I would also recommend reserving Dubrovnik’s restaurants well in advance, as the best ones fill up quickly. The concierge team is extremely helpful and makes the entire reservation process easy and efficient."
