A BRADFORD hotel has won a prestigious national travellers' choice award based on guest reviews.

Dubrovnik Hotel has been recognized as a 2020 Travelers’ Choice award-winner for Hotels by the Tripadvisor website.

Based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, prior to any changes caused by the coronavirus pandemic, award winners are known for consistently receiving great guest feedback, placing them in the top 10 per cent of hospitality businesses around the globe.

It is the latest accolade for the Dubrovnik after it claimed the Hotel of the Year prize at the Telegraph & Argus's Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Awards: Hotel of the Year held at The Broadway in November last year. This prize also coincided with the hotel's 40th anniversary celebrations which took place the following month.

The independently owned business, based in Oak Avenue, has been run by the Basic family since 1979.

Ned Basic, Dubrovnik Hotel general manager, says the staff at the site are especially proud of the achievement given the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

He said: "We are very proud to have received this award and feel it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to excellence in service, both regionally and nationally.

We would also like to thank all of our loyal guests who have helped us to achieve this prestigious accolade

"Following on from our win of Hotel of the Year in last year's Telegraph and Argus Retail, Leisure and Hospitality awards, it shows that a small, independent, family-run business can compete with the biggest and the best in our sector, even in these unprecedented times for our industry."
