The location of The Pucić Palace is fantastic and it's hard to beat being right in the heart of Dubrovnik's Old Town. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for us.
The hotel itself felt tired for a property advertised as 5-star.
What really impacted our stay was the customer service - from one particular staff member. We organised a porter in person the day before check-in, confirming all the details, but no one arrived. My mother and I waited for 30 minutes in the heat before accepting no-one was coming.
Because of that experience, we made a point of organising and then reconfirming both our airport transfer and porter well before our early morning departure. Despite this, we were incorrectly told to meet our driver without our luggage. Once we reached the meeting point, we discovered the porter didn't even start work until 9:00 am, despite our transfer being at 6:10 am. We had to walk back and collect all of our luggage ourselves, and there was no apology for the mistake.
The only bright spot was our driver, Darko from Blue Bay Travel Agency, who went out of his way to find us and was genuinely apologetic about how poorly everything had been handled.
It's a beautiful historic building in an incredible location, but based on our experience, the level of service falls well short of what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel.
