Pros:

The hotel was perfect for our 4 day stay in Split. Only negative was that it was a little difficult to find in the first instance, but the location, the room and service by the hotel staff was excellent.

Charming hotel in the old town
Pros:

WOW what a beautiful hotel. In the old town of Split, around one of many winding cobbled street corners. A very welcoming outside, with multiple outside stone steps. Beautiful reception along with 2 elevated decking seated areas and 1 other.
We went on the 28th September 2025 for 3 nights. The weather was in the 20’s whilst we were there.
We arrived just after 12pm and we were lucky to have our room ready for us. We were checked in quickly and we were greeted with a friendly and warm welcome. We did not have breakfast at the hotel, but there are lots of places to eat in Split.
The hotel has very much the old town look with lots of attention to detail. With a modern twist for the key-pads on the door and lights on the stairs. We stayed in room 305. Lovely high ceiling, with the bedside lamps on as we entered giving a very warm welcome. I won’t spoil the theme of the furniture but it is plumbing related. Lovely bathroom, decent sized shower cubicle with a large ceiling shower head with good pressure and heat.
In the room was a small fridge to use, which was an added bonus. Toiletries in bathroom and tea, coffee and herbal tea, cups and kettle also in the room. Along with air conditioning.
The hotel is only a few minutes to the nearest eatery / shop. Yet the area of the hotel is quiet during the day and during the night. Apart from the odd bell ringing from the local church, which was actually quite lovely.

Getting from Split airport to Split, we used the local 37 bus, which runs every 30 minutes and takes about 1 hour. Costing only 3 euros p/person for a single trip. Once you arrive at the bus terminal it is about a 15 minute walk to the hotel.
On arrival you pay a city tax 1.50 euro per person, per night in cash to the hotel.
Absolutely love the old town, we constantly got lost and found something else beautiful to see. The whole of Split has endless places to eat, lots of coffee café’s, restaurants, fresh bakeries, bars, takeaways, gelato’s etc something for everyone and I would say no more expensive than the UK.
Everyone very friendly and Croatia is so beautiful and clean, We, highly recommend going.
The following are within a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel:
Diocletian's Palace and Palazzo. Split Croatian bell tower which you can climb up (worth the astonishing view). Trogir. Saint Domnius’ Cathedral. Riva Promenade. Fish Market & green market. Harbour.
Marjan Park and Hill, the start is just under 10 minutes walk to the start with 319 steps to climb, the views are amazing.
A little further is Sustipan park where you may find a squirrel, SPLIT in red words, Bačvice City Beach and Grgur Ninski Statue.
Every corner leads to another surprise whether it is an area of restaurants or some local shops to browse.

Quiet gem, close to the old town. Perfect base for exploring Split
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. It’s in a fantastic location – close to the centre of Split but tucked away enough to be peaceful and quiet. Just a few minutes’ walk takes you to plenty of restaurants and bars, with a great choice of food and budgets to suit everyone.

Our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and had fresh towels available every day if we wanted them. The décor was charming, with a style that reflected the atmosphere of Split’s old town streets.

We walked everywhere during our stay. On a cooler day (end of September/early October), we explored the beautiful Marjan forest, which was well worth it. We also walked to a lovely beach where we hired loungers for €20 each – there are several spots along the coast to choose from, all clean, uncrowded and inviting. On the way back, we stopped at the Tennis Club terrace bar for a drink, which had wonderful views over the beach.

Getting to the hotel was easy too – we took the airport shuttle bus (€16 each) to the harbour and walked from there in about 15 minutes through La Riva.

All in all, a perfect stay - highly recommend.

We loved our stay here. The interor of the room is exactly as the photos show. A short stroll from the main area in Stari Grad and is super quiet being away from the main bars/ restaurants. Would stay again

Highly recommended!

Great Hotel in Split!!!
Pros:

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and I was personally escorted to my room, which was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated.
What really stood out was the level of service. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. It truly felt like they cared about making my stay unforgettable.

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, luxury, and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!

Great service, quiet location within a short walk to the town. Sympathetically renovated rooms in lovely old buildings
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and had a great grasp of the English language. Inna in particular went out of her way to make our stay memorable. The rooms were nicely restored and comfortable beds. Located in a quiet area but within a short walk of the harbour.

Pros:

We loved our stay at this boutique hotel in the charming Varos district of Split. The location was perfect—just a short and easy walk to the Old Town and Diocletian’s Palace, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. Great local restaurants and cafés were right around the corner, so dining was never a problem. Parking in Split can be tricky, but here it was relatively easy compared to most central spots. The staff were absolutely wonderful - warm, attentive, and always ready with helpful recommendations.

A fantastic choice for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and a real neighborhood feel in Split.

Pros:

Great location, right in the hussle and bussle. Aircon was great but unfortunately the room was clearly damp and subsequently stank of urine. We did complain about the smell, but was informed it was due to recent rain but no real resolution. Security was poor, no extra lock on the door and safe attached the flimsy wardrobe (not attached to wall). Definitely more shabby than chic. Would stay in the same area, but not here.

Pros:


Heritage palace varos - Stayed 2 nights.
Beutiful hotel set in the old town close to harbour and centre.
We stayed in the annex which has its own door onto the street, these rooms are stunning.

Plenty of supermarkets within 5 minutes walk.
With the location being so central you have many restaurants available to choose from.

Pros:

We saw mixed reviews and glad to say room 301 was excellent, very clean and exactly as advertised. The location of the hotel was superb, quiet street but just a few minutes walk to the centre of town and tourist area for cafe, bars and restaurants. The staff were also very friendly. The only negative is the description, which says the hotel has a restaurant, bar and cafe. In fact the hotel has no facilities at all. So as an excellent room and location, highly recommended but don’t get confused over the listing.

Pros:

This was a very conveniently located hotel, just off Split Riva (the main tourist strip). I was only an 8 minute walk to the Diocletian's Palace, which is the very heart of the city, and less than 15 minutes to the main bus station and port. Our room was clean and air conditioned, and had a good bathroom and shower. Staff were also very friendly and helpful, and check in and check out were very efficient. Our only criticism, but it is probably as advertised, is that - at the time of our stay - this didn’t have the feel of a conventional hotel. Rooms were spread across at least two buildings, around a small public space, and no communal lounges seemed to be in use. Also, we weren’t aware of a restaurant, and certainly didn’t see a bar. That said, I think a continental breakfast was offered, but it was expensive. Our room was also quite small, had two single beds rather than a double, and one of the beds squeaked very badly every time you moved on it. As I say, though, on balance, a very clean and convenient accommodation option for a visit to Split
