Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 14 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Art lovers and walkers wanting proximity to the medieval city are best suited to Hotel Excelsior. It holds a Booking.com score of 9.3 across 689 reviews. Positioned just a five-minute walk from the Old Town, the hotel features rooms decorated with curated original local artwork, a stone-carved waterfront spa, and sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea. Guests should note that the beach consists of a rock and concrete bathing platform, and outdoor terraces can get crowded during peak season.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list in Dubrovnik is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Staying here places guests just a five-minute stroll from the medieval fortress walls, offering immediate access to Dubrovnik's historic center without the need for taxis or transfers.
- The spacious wellness center features a large indoor pool, Turkish baths, and Finnish saunas, providing a quiet sanctuary carved directly into the coastal rock.
Things to Consider
- Rather than a sandy beach, the waterfront access consists of a paved stone lido with ladders into the sea. While elegant, it may not suit families with very young children.
- Due to the hotel's prominent reputation, the dining terraces and sun loungers can feel busy during mid-summer. Booking dining times and spa treatments in advance is highly recommended.
