Hotel More

After much reading through hotels on TA was chose Hotel More for our long weekend and followed others recommendations and requested a room on the 7th floor (top floor) of the new block (711-714). I was delighted that we got the requested room. We booked a sea view with bed & breakfast only. The room had a huge balcony with sun loungers as well as table & chairs. The room was clean, well equipped. Quiet air con, comfortable bed and modern. Breakfast was fine. Usual Luke warm buffet but the scrambled egg and mushrooms were very tasty, the fruit plentiful and sparkling wine flowed freely. I can see why some people find getting around the hotel confusing. There are 2 buildings, about 5 lifts and most only go to several floors. However in the new building it was easier because the lift next to our room went down to the promenade and we just walked to the roof to go across to the other building when needed. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel, opted to walk along the prom to Lapad beach or getting an Uber taxi to the Old Town, which was buzzing at night. Uber was excellent for this hotel. Cars arrive within 2 minutes each time and right to the door. Even easy to find the driver at the Pile Gate, which is extremely busy with coaches and taxis. The ease of not needing cash, and at ~£8 per trip was both easier and better value than a standard taxi which was £10+. We would definitely return to the More hotel if we returned to Dubrovnik.

Very good hotel - don't be put off by the maze-like complexity of finding your way around - reason being it is built on the side of the rocks going all the way down to the sea. We had a sea-facing room with balcony on the 7th floor which was very good. The room was clean, reasonably sized with an en-suite with bath and over bath shower. Cleanliness was very good. There are 2 main restaurants on the ground floor, both of which we ate in for an evening meal, and both of which were excellent and reasonable value. We also tried the Cave bar at sea level, and sunbathed and swam at sea level. Getting into the Old town was easy - if a local bus is used there is a 10 minute walk to a bus stop, and then the number 6 bus goes straight to the Pile gate which is the entrance to the Old Town. Cost was about £2; the other option was getting a UBER, which works very well in Dubrovnik - a one way taxi ride was about £8 but picked you up at the hotel. All in all we would certainly stay here again.

I would not rate our accommodation as 5 star. We were located in the older side of the hotel and room was quite small with a double bed. We had to re-arrange furniture to be able to open our bags. Bathroom was reasonably spacious but a very high step over the edge of the bath to access the shower that would be difficult for older people. We also, unfortunately, looked out over an unattractive courtyard so make sure you request room with sea views. We were quite disappointed not to have one and indicated we were happy to pay for an upgrade to be advised the hotel was fully booked. Views from restaurants are magnificent and great to watch the sunsets from. The Cave Bar is a novelty but worth the visit. Lift system is confusing. Breakfast was very good and staff very accommodating. If you are visiting the old city then it is quite a distance from hotel. You need to either catch a taxi or uber or bus to get there. They also provide a transfer to the airport from the hotel for 340 kuna.
