Overall Ratings & Reviews Royal Blue Hotel

We had a lovely, spacious side view room. The balcony was a good size and the room was very comfortable. Lovely l’occitane toiletries in the bathroom. Walking down the promenade takes you to a range of restaurants

The entire property was like looking at a picture post card from every view. Staff was excellent and friendly.

Nice, clean, spacious room with the best sunset view. Courteous staff. Breakfast was great. Convenient bus ride to Old Town a definite plus.

An incredible place to stay! Breathtaking views, extra-large rooms that are immaculate and delicious meals. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place was excellent.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. However, the price in their bars and restaurants is extortionate - literally more expensive than the main square in Dubrovnik old town. No water refill points and charging 6 euro for 750ml of water. No ice machines either so need to ask at bar for ice if you have a drink for your room. There is no shop on site either. There is however a small stripmall with a few mini markets and cafes 5 mins walk across the park. Our room was lovely but was in need of a little TLC. The carpet has 3 brown/rust circular stains and the curtain were threadbare in places allowing light to come streaming in. The room was lovely but it is these small details where it shows it just needs a tiny bit of money spent to make it top class. We went on shoulder season and there were limited sunbeds. Would not stay here during peak season.

Check in was easy but got to our room and had booked a king size bed and instead we had a twin room called down to ask what was happening and we were told they didn’t have any left.

I love the convenience of bus access, restaurants pool area just great accommodations

Amazing clean …. View is SPECTACULAR

Just home from 4 nights at this amazing place. Our second visit and just as good as the first. The only thing which could be improved is the breakfast situation, too many people from several hotels all merging into one which creates a very busy environment. All in all an amazing 4 days

Beautiful views, great large clean room. Friendly staff.

King Bed room with ocean view. Very spacious room. wonderful facilities in the hotel and plenty of dining options in and around the hotel. Great place to relax and unwind.

Wonderful hotel great location!

First day, there was smell of sewer at the Royal Blue

The hotel is at a good location with a lot of dining options, the view is beautiful

Beautiful views and many restaurants on site. Would stay again

Had a lovely stay here for 5 nights. The hotel and surrounding areas are immaculate. We stayed in a balcony sea front and the view was just beautiful! Sunsets are worth a watch too. Breakfast had plenty variety and although became busy at weekend we didn’t need to wait for a table any morning. Indoor or outdoor seating available. On a sunny morning outdoor seating is fantastic. We used indoor pool on a windy day and I had a lovely massage as an extra from the spa. Drinks were lovely but like the whole of Dubrovnik everything is pricey. We ate in the Zoe restaurant and loved the seafood platter, again expensive but if you like seafood it was delicious. There was live singers there the night we dined there and that was nice too. We didn’t eat in any other of the restaurants in the hotel as we wanted to go out and about. It’s a short walk along the prom to different places to eat and bars. I used the gym facilities which was fine. Staff friendly. We didn’t use the outdoor pools as they seemed too cold but my husband did go for a quick dip in the ocean. Again very cold but staff were attentive watching and waiting until he swam back. All in all we would definitely return and would recommend this hotel to couples. Not much for children to do and not much children going around.

Reception staff incredibly rude and unfriendly. By contrast, Karolina, who managed pool area was friendly, welcoming and efficient. Reception staff would certainly benefit from being trained in customer service by her.

Royal Blue is part of a group of other Royal hotels in a row so therefore more like a complex and includes a nice bar/pizzeria. One of the restaurants was average and overpriced but nice views. The la Castille restaurant was very good! We had breakfast included which was nice and the food was ok but i would not say 5*. Obviously buffet food is hard to make it good. The gym was decent and had everything you need really. The spa was nice and we had a couples massage which was nice, bit too much oil but perfect pressure. 5 swimming pools in total! Sadly all were too cold to enjoy apart from the roof top heated pool. The rooms were nice but in need of some redecorating. Multiple times a day our key cards wouldnt work for the rooms.The reception staff were very attentive at getting things in the room fixed quickly eg the air con and door handles. One day our room was cleaned and no new bedsheet was put on the bed and we had to find a sheet and put it on ourselves. Overall a lot of services and parts of it were 5* but a lot wasn't...

Despite Expedia showing this as a VIP Access hotel with a free room upgrade and despite the hotel being only at around half capacity at best, we received no VIP upgrade on this trip. The hotel was clean and the PARTS THAT WERE OPEN were in good order. However, this is a strange hotel - it is really called Royal Resort Dubrovnik and consists of 4 blocks with one reception rather than being 4 separate hotels, despite being listed under 4 names. The main reception was manned, however when we visted (late April) the reception and concierge areas in the other buildings (including the one we were in) were not staffed. In addition, of the 7 restaurants and bars listed on all the signage, 4 were closed for our entire trip with (very strangely) cushions strewn all over the floor for the length of our trip in the restaurant at the bottom of the Royal Blue. Buffet breakfast was the usual thing you get with big hotels - OK some days and then missing have the food the next. Two pools were drained. The indoor one was also inexplicably closed one day. Parking somewhat of a mess but easy. Evening buffet was DIRE and expensive unless in your package - you get far better for less at the buffet at the hotel complex next door. Housekeeping very poor - twice had to ring down as on returning to our room early evening on one occasion found they'd taken all the towels and not replenished and on another not bothered to enter the room at all. Room when worked on was however very clean.
