Fodor's "Occupying a 19th-century building with a garden and an outdoor pool, Hotel Lapad overlooks Gruž harbor, just a 15-minute walk west of the Old Town."
Lonely Planet "Handsome historic hotel with sleek decor and mod furnishings (but beware the cheesy entertainment)." Full review
Star Service "The location is pinched between the striking single-pylon Franjo Trudjman Bridge and the cruise ship terminal, a 10-minute bus ride to the old city and most scenic side of the peninsula." Full review

Superior Sea View units are the ones to request, and tranquility seekers should opt for a room away from the pool.
Time Out "Handy for Lapad and the Old Town, and a ten-minute walk from the ferry port and bus station." Full review

Frommer's "If you love the elegance and Art Deco opulence of the '20s and '30s, the Excelsior can take you back in time." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Easily the finest hotel in Dubrovnik in the years since the war of the 90s, the Excelsior keeps ahead of its rivals by constantly upgrading its facilities."
Star Service "Built in 1913, this beachside hotel is located 600 meters east of the city's Ploce Gate and overlooks Lokrum Island and the old city from its cliffside perch." Full review

The Excelsior jumped up a notch when the renovations were completed years ago, but management seems to have lost its touch, with some rooms already showing wear and staffers absent-minded to special requests.
