Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik
$400-800/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want the most iconic view of Dubrovnik's Old Town from your breakfast table without fighting the crowds inside the walls.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Direct sea access via a private stone platform (no sand, just deep blue water)
- The breakfast terrace at Salin offers arguably the best morning view in Croatia
- Walking distance to Old Town (5 mins) but feels like a secluded cliffside retreat
Hızlı Özet: A Grand Dame that trades sandy beaches for royal history and a concrete sun deck that feels surprisingly chic.
@Travelsum tarafından değerlendirildi: I honestly felt like a main character staying here. Stepping onto the balcony and seeing the Old Town right there gave me chills. It’s expensive, but for that view and the private swimming spot, it was the highlight of my entire Croatia trip.

Reality check
Some travelers find the 'Tower' rooms a bit corporate and soulless compared to the historic Villa Odak wing.
- You want to swim in the Adriatic immediately after breakfast without leaving your hotel
- You appreciate historic glamour (Queen Elizabeth II and Elizabeth Taylor stayed here)
- You are okay with a 5-minute walk to dinner rather than being right in the noise of Stradun
Temizlik & Bakım
9.5
- Housekeeping: Impeccable. Twice-daily service including turndown is standard.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless marble bathrooms. Rare complaints of sewage smell during heavy rains (common in old Euro cities).
- Maintenance: Excellent condition, though Villa Odak shows charming signs of age.
- Linens & towels: Plush, heavy, and crisp white. Beach towels are plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers and sea salt; no mustiness.

Oda Talep Cinisi – kopyala ve yapıştır

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is there a real beach?
No. It is a concrete and stone platform with ladders leading directly into deep water. Great for swimming, bad for sandcastles.
How far is the Old Town?
A pleasant 5-minute walk to the Ploče Gate. You are close enough to see it, but far enough to sleep.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the indoor freshwater pool is heated. The sea is... refreshing.
Can I bring my dog?
No, the hotel has a strict no-pets policy unless it is a service animal.
Which building is better: Villa Odak or The Tower?
Villa Odak for historic charm and romance; The Tower for modern reliability and guaranteed sea views from higher floors.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent. Served at Salin with a view of the Old Town walls.

You can swim in the sea even late at night; the platform is lit and magical.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The elevators in the Tower can be slow during peak breakfast hours.
💡The 'sea pool' is actually just a roped-off area of the ocean, not a separate structure.
💡Room service prices are significantly higher than the already pricey local restaurants.
💡The walk to Old Town is flat (rare for Dubrovnik), making it accessible for heels.
💡You might spot a celebrity; the hotel has a 'Wall of Fame' for a reason.
