Hotel berhampiran Minceta Fortress, Dubrovnik

We stayed here on a three night couples break. Booked a premium sea view room which was absolutely stunning!! The balcony is huge and you have the most amazing view, waking up to that every morning was well the upgrade. The room itself was huge also and very well laid out. Big bathroom with bath and shower overhead. The breakfast was lovely with a good selection. Best scrambled egg I've ever had in a hotel. The roof top bar is lovely to sit with cocktail. You can walk a lovely coastal path into Lapad where there are a small selection of restaurants and bars. We walked the city walls which if you're able to walk a good distance and climb stairs is well worth it and I'd recommend. We also booked kayaking with a stop at a cave to snorkel. The tour guide was really knowledgeable. We also done the DU zip wire where you fly like superman over the mountains and sea, fantastic! I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Spotless clean, friendly staff and gorgeous rooms.

The Royal Palm is set a little outside the city alongside the coast in a complex of three other ‘royal’ hotels that provided a number of bars and restaurants to choose from throughout the day. This choice extends to the pools and gyms as well. Lovely well appointed and clean rooms. The en suite was well equipped and modern. Great sea views as well. The staff both in the restaurant and reception couldn’t have been more helpful. First time in Croatia. Lovely country, Dubrovnik city was really Beautiful. Most days busy from the cruise ships but its didn’t detract from the place.

Amazing location! There are two hostels under this name; one located a little out of the busy center (up a quieter street); the other was directly in the middle of town, next door to everything. The rooms were large, with lockers and plenty of space around the bed for placing items. The toilets and showers were super clean and right next door to the rooms. I didn't use the kitchen or terrace area, so can't comment on those. The room was loud, but that's part of the deal being so close to town. The showers provided no space to place items, there was a soap tray in the shower, but no where to leave clothes etc outside.

Amazing hotel. All the staff were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Spectacular views from the balcony, especially the sunsets. Really clean and comfortable- lots of toiletries in the bathroom - you don’t need to bring anything. Great spa area n the top floor - theres also a hot tub and sunbeds on the roof - I don’t think anyone knows about this as we were the only ones there. Breakfast was lovely, if there’s nothing there for you - you must be super fussy. Plentiful, well cooked. We also ate in the taverna restaurant which was also very good. We had good weather so used the pool area, plenty of sunbeds. You can also swim in the sea here. Really convenient to explore Dubrovnik. There’s a bus stop right outside the hotel that takes you to the old town every 20 minutes, very cheap too. Taxis come really quick from the hotel. Definitely have to walk the walls in old town. Cable car to the top with spectacular views. Old town is beautiful, lots of shops if that what you want to do. Didn’t have time to do any trips, but will definitely be coming back to do those. We walked a lot, exploring the local area so if you are into walking then you will be fine. We ate in the old town - a recommended restaurant Taj Mahal. Bosnian restaurant, delicious food (not cheap) but perfect for a special meal. Definitely recommend this hotel and the area. We had an amazing 3 nights - and wish we had booked longer.

Der erste Eindruck war mega. Schönes großes Suite mit Meerblick. Alles gut. Der Zimmerservice war die ersten beiden Tage auch noch ok. Frühstück lässt zu wünschen übrig. Auf den ersten Blick alles da was das Herz begehrt. Aber, es schmeckt nicht wirklich gut bis ungenießbar. Das Servicepersonal hat alles mögliche zu tun, nur nicht die Gäste bewirten oder aufmerksam sein. Komplett am falschen Ort. Für 5 Sterne was anderes erwartet. Die Reinigung des Zimmers war leider auch die ersten beiden Tage super toll (hatten 6 Übernachtungen) die letzten Tage war es so schlecht, teilweise nur das Geschirr abgespült die Betten gemacht und die Handtücher gewechselt. In der Suite gab es eine nespresso Maschine mit 4 Kapseln, wir waren zu 2 und dementsprechend hatten wir nur die 1 beiden Tage was davon. Danach wurde er nicht mehr nachgefüllt. Sehr sehr schade, man könnte soviel Kleinigkeiten besser machen…

This was our first visit to Croatia thus the first time in Dubrovnik and we carefully researched prior to booking. This hotel appeared to have excellent reviews overall so seemed like a good choice. The reality however was not so, as the room we were given was extremely disappointing due to size and the view of a brick wall. Whilst we hadn’t booked a sea view I wasn’t quite prepared for this brick wall and let the staff know. Thankfully we were given a different room which had a much better view, so thank you as this did help immensely. The location of this hotel is by far its biggest selling point as it just a very short walk to the old town with all its attractions and the sky ride. It also has lovely views of the Adriatic Sea, Lockrum island and the old town. There was perfect service in the restaurant for breakfast, the buffet was limited but this was complimented by the menu to order breakfast dishes. For swimming there is a good sized indoor pool and there is access to the sea which was also a fabulous selling point. The sun-bed spaces were limited but the staff worked very hard to ensure all guests were welcomed and found sun-beds and umbrellas for shade from their storeroom. After the shock of the initial room with the view of the brick wall, the other not so great aspect was the service by waiter at the sea/beach area. It was almost impossible to gain the attention of the waiter for drink orders and the quality of the drinks (Tom Collins) was very poor. For 5 star, the service has to be on point and this experience really did let the hotel down. Would I recommend this hotel, well yes but make sure you book a room with a sea view unless you like looking at a brick wall and don’t expect to get a drink by the sea/beach area.

Cet établissement bénéficie d’une superbe situation en bord de mer avec des chambres ayant de très belles vues directement sur la mer. L’hôtel fait partie d’un immense complexe comprenant plusieurs hôtels et locations d’appartements avec de nombreuses petites piscines et plusieurs restaurants. Les chambres sont grandes et assez confortables sans pour autant pouvoir revendiquer un caractère très luxueux. En effet, à titre d’exemple les rideaux de la chambre étaient troués et le miroir grossissant de la salle de bains est très basique sans éclairage. Le plus gros défaut de cet établissement est lié à la qualité de service qui est très, très insuffisant. Le personnel est aimable mais probablement insuffisamment formé, vous n’êtes ainsi jamais accompagné à votre table au restaurant et les hommes sont servis avant les femmes,. Ce manque de qualité de services se voit beaucoup au petit déjeuner, c’est le pire endroit existant, une usine, un très grand self service où tous les clients des différents hôtels du complexe se retrouvent tous dans la promiscuité. Là encore, personne pour vous accompagner à table ou prendre votre commande, à vous de vous débrouiller et de vous servir dans cet immense self de cantine. Terminons par les restaurants du complexe, ce sont des restaurants de midi mais il leur manque la qualité de service, une carte un peu plus élaborée et un décor plus raffiné pour pouvoir prétendre vous accueillir à dîner comme un hôtel 5 étoiles devrait le faire. A ce titre il est préférable de se rendre dans les restaurants de l’hôtel MORE, un autre 5 étoiles à 5 mn de marche qui sont de bien meilleure qualité. Le roof top de l’un des hôtels du complexe Royal reste cependant sympathique pour boire un verre en observant le coucher du soleil. Au final cette superbe situation est un peu gâchée par le manque de raffinements de l’établissement, par le service déficient et par l’usine du petit déjeuner.
