Guest Reviews

• Frances (10/5): - Great place to stay in old split city if you like to stay mostly around that area and take boat tours. Close to restaurants, green market, Riva, beaches and many tours. Center of old city and a bit nosiy at night because of the bars nearby. Bed is comfortable and size of room was standard and basic amenities. The terrace was a nice shared space to sit and relax to have coffee in the morning and have an overview of the city. Only little hiccup was that the showerhead fell off but was fixed and resolved within an hour.
• Luc (10/5): - Very nice community kitchen. Excellent coffee machine. Great terrace.
• Martin (10/5): - Petar reached out via What’s App ahead of our arrival. Luca then met us out front at the our estimated time and gave us a run down of the property as well as a list of restaurant recommendations. Both were excellent in customer service. The room while small, was very clean and met our expectations. The bed was quite comfortable and offered a good night’s sleep. The property is well situated in old town adjacent to Diocletian’s Palace. It was about a ten minute walk to Marjan and the path taking us to the top. Very convenient and close to good dining and drinks. The bar next door is hoping and allows for a night cap before turning in. The property kitchen is very good to have and offers a great coffee machine with all amenities for morning Java included. I would recommend this property.
• Katherine (10/5): Great split old town stay - Fantastic stay, the roof terrace & shared kitchen were a great option that we used everyday. Luca & Petar were great hosts making sure we were informed of everything. We booked the private taxi pickup through them which was excellent & very convenient as one of the Banico team met us & helped with our luggage.
• Francesca (10/5): - Fantastic location, incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
• MYRA (10/5): - Location is perfect. Its within the old town. Few meters away from the cathedral. Gelateria and bakery here and there. Picasso bar on the ground floor. It can be noisy until 1am. Studio unit is spacious. Receptionist responds right away when you message them for something. Its close to the promenade and port. When its available on your search dates grab it right away! You wont regret with its convenience. One thing that im not so happy is that there’s no elevator and we stayed on the 3rd floor. But, most boutique hotels in the old town dont have so its quit. Hahahaha
• Susie (10/5): Delightful room in centre of old town Split - A lovely room in Banica apartments with a good size en suite bathroom with excellent shower. Right in the middle of the old town of Split so a very convenient location and a great roof terrace & kitchen facilites available for guests use. Church bells ring early morning and the rooms are on the third floor with no lift so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Very helpful receptionists with clear instructions of how to access the property.
• Lindsay (10/5): - The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The a/c was new & worked well. Small balcony overlooking rooftops with a small table & chairs was lovely. Staff were extremely helpful & the roof terrace with kitchen a great bonus. The fridge was not very cold and there was no big mirror in the room, just a small table mirror.
• Michael (10/5): Amazing place in amazing location - We stayed here for three nights and had a fantastic experience. Peter was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, always ready to help with any questions or needs. He even helped arrange tours we were hoping to do. The location is just steps from the city center near the Bell Tower. Peter also coordinated a private driver to pick us up from the airport and walk us right to the front door—and did the same for our departure. Each night, we relaxed on the roof top patio with a view of the clock tower, winding down after busy days of exploring.
• Christopher (2/5): - Do not stay here. I did not have hot water for the last two days of my trip. After being told the switch for the boiler is outside the bathroom (this wasn't advised when I arrived), I was told to let it warm up for 20 minutes. After it didn't, someone had to come and eventually advise the boiler broke. I eventually had to shower in another one of their units. The whole process from when I advised them to when I was able to shower took over an hour and ruined my evening plans. All I got from the inconvenience was a "we're sorry". Also, this place is right above a very loud bar, which you can hear even after closing. You will find much better value elsewhere in Split.
• Jitesh (10/5): - Perfect Stay in the Heart of Split – 10/10 Absolutely excellent location right inside Diocletian’s Palace. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful — they assisted with luggage and went above and beyond with any help we needed. The terrace offers a breathtaking view over the historic city, truly one of the best views in the world. We didn’t even feel the need to go to restaurants in the evening — we just grabbed a beer and enjoyed the view from the apartment terrace. Superb kitchen facilities made it easy to prepare meals. Everything is nearby: shops, sights, and the waterfront. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend — 10/10!
• Sandy (10/5): - The staff was super nice and accommodating. The property was clean. The shared kitchen was a nice touch. The patio and rooftop level were great amenity. The proximity to the City Center was great. The only thing I would caution is this building has no elevator. The unit we were in was on the 5th floor. So having to walk up 5 flights of stair every day.
• Suping (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Luc is very helpful and kind. The room is spacious and comfortable. Really appreciated the rooftop balcony and the kitchen for making coffee. The apartment is perfectly situated in the heart of the old town.
• Lei (10/5): - Very pleasant stay
• Adalberto (10/5): - Great location, very attentive staff, lots of amenities as well as beautiful views from the terrace.
• Jacqueline (10/5): - Great place to stay!
• Lisa (10/5): Center of the action in the old town - Great room in the center of town! Lovely view from the communal terrace! Caution if you don’t like stairs or a bit of town noise, but perfect if you would like to stay in the middle of the old town of Split- which is gorgeous.
• Janice (10/5): - Amazing location and staff!
• Mauricio (10/5): Perfectly wonderful, especially gem of host, Ivan! - Perfect apartment for short or long stay in Split. Fantastic location plus wonderful amenities such as laundry service, air conditioning, coffee maker, full kitchen, two lounge areas, rooftop view, but the very best thing about Banica is host Ivan—an extremely articulate fountain of knowledge who went out of his way to help us in so many ways! Truly the best host imaginable. We are so grateful, thanks so much Ivan!
• TONY (10/5): - the property was excellent, well priced great hosts, ante and ivan. 100 metres for the riva, a must book place if your in split
• Dalia (10/5): - Great location in the heart of old town and beautiful roof top terrace
• Dijana (10/5): - Location was perfect
• jackson (6/5): - Super noisy all night until 3am. AC very loud as well. Impossible to sleep. Four flights of stairs no elevator. Nice patio though!
• Sara (10/5): - Amazing stay with the kindest hosts and service
• Jason (10/5): In the heart of the Palace! - It was a fantastic experience. I was warmly greeted by Ivan and given a tour of the amenities. He gave me a list of places to see and miss from a list I had and other tips about Split. My room was bright, immaculate and spacious with a balcony that overlooked part of the palace. I had laundry that needed to be washed at no additional cost. The covered terrace had plenty of seating and tables, as well as a full kitchen and bathroom. Plus, a rooftop terrace with a jaw dropping view of Diocletians Palace and Split! Early mornings and late nights were spent enjoying the view from said rooftop! The location dosen't get any better than this, you are literally in the heart of the Palace! When visiting Split, there's no question that you must stay here! I can't recommend this property enough! *note that this property dosen't have an elevator.

• Shant (8/5): - Honest to goodness review. Pros: centrally located in the heart of Diocletian Palace. Easy to get to tours, walking spend harbor, ferries, farmers market, all of the more attractions in Split. Free laundry service. Kind and hospitable staff. Terrace and Rooftop with views. Cooking area. Cons: if you’re expecting American standard hotel this is not your place. No hot water in the mornings for days. Walk up 3-4 flights of stairs daily. If you’re in good shape this is a good choice. Nice people. Nice guests to talk to from different parts of Europe. Safe surroundings. Kind staff. Just don’t come with expectations.

• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful location in old town. Ivan was incredibly friendly and helpful. He sent me a great guide for Split (including restaurant recommendations) and even helped me look at ferry schedules for a day trip.
• David Brian (10/5): - The property was in an excellent position at the heart of the Diocletion palace. Facilities were really good with a rooftop kitchen ideal for snacks and breakfast with great views of the town. Sixty steps to the rooms could make it challenging for the less fit.
• Peter (8/5): - These apartments over look Apollo's Temple in the old Palace. They are easy to find but you have to negotiate 3 or 4 floors of stairs. They are spacious and clean and have a roof top Balcony with a small communal kitchen. We are in our 60's and really enjoyed our stay. The young man who checked us in was extremely helpful and carried our heavy bags up for us. It is very central to all of Split and the waterfront. We had 4 days and loved our time.
• Yi (10/5): - Super quiet Amazing host
• Frank (10/5): - Amazing location and unforgettable view from the terrace. Great kitchen to cook and save money.
• Ray (10/5): - Apartments Banica is about as central as you could ask for, about halfway between the Iron gate and the bell tower. Surrounded by gelato shops and restaurants, we never had more than a five minute walk to anywhere except the beach and the Marjan Hill and marina. Ivan and Ante were on duty and super informative and helpful, setting up our rides to and from the airport and giving us plenty of tips about the apartments and the city of Split. The room was very comfortable with one large bed and one fold out twin. (We were traveling 2 1, and it was perfect.) The small in-room fridge was supplemented by a full kitchen in the common area/terrace where we could bring our snacks to enjoy in the shade. There's even a rooftop with seating to enjoy some of the local wine. We would happily stay here again!
• Jeneille (10/5): - Brilliant location, two seconds from all the old town stuff. The room was very comfortable too. The highlight was the hosts Ivan and Ante, they went out of their way to meet you, get to know you and help answer questions. Two nicest guys in Croatia! The patio was out of this world awesome. And a free espresso machine!! Five stars all around, highly recommend!!
• Rene (10/5): - Great location. Great staff. Great price.
• Irmeli (10/5): Great place - We enjoyed our stay very much. It made it easy when the location within the walls was so close to everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our suitcases were carried up the many stairs to the apartment on our arrival and back down when we left which we were very happy about. The room was spacious and clean and we enjoyed having our breakfast and some drinks on the rooftop terrace. It was great to have the common kitchen on the rooftop to make our own breakfast and have coffee from their very awesome coffee machine. We would happily stay again!
• Bohye (10/5): - The best host ever! He's been super helpful with everything and go extra miles to make our stay comp comfortable and enjoyable.
• Gary (10/5): - Great location. Staff was extremely accommodating. Lots of good restaurants and shopping.
• Gareth (10/5): Location, location, location. highly recommended. - Location is everything and this apartment was perfect in the heart of split. Marko who met us was friendly and showed us around the apartment. It’s literally a stones throw from Diocletians palace with the tower view from our balcony. The room was a good size with a great shower. A bonus was there is a communal covered terrace on the top of the property with great views. Highly recommended.
• Sharon Christina (8/5): - I enjoyed the covered terrace to sit in the evening
• Randall (8/5): Location - It was a wonderful place to stay & within the palace , walking distance to all kinds of restaurants & shops. The host was very helpful , the room was very clean & comfortable. You’ll need to walk at least 5+ minutes from the airport bus as it’s pedestrian only . No elevators so you’ll get your exercise climbing some steps. I would recommend a sign at the bottom with instructions to the top. They also have a rooftop patio to enjoy coffee provided with a peek a boo sea view. I would recommend this hotel
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was the perfect place to stay! The owner was incredibly nice and professional, providing us with insight and tidbits regarding the facility. Out of all the places we stayed this was my favorite.
• Mary (10/5): - The Banica apartments are spotless. perfect location in the middle of everything. There’s a great rooftop area with full kitchen. The Manager is very helpful. Would recommend highly.
• Bharath (10/5): Beautiful accommodation. Super staff :) - Super nice apartment. Terrace has amazing views. Emir was amazing. Gave us lot of info about the city and also helped us with our luggage. The owner is also very nice. Both went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. 10/10.
• Antony (8/5): Welcome with a smile and happy to help - This small Apartments place is in a great location. You step out of the front door straight into the Palace area of Split. The room is a good size, clean, tidy and comfortable. This place is on the 3rd & 4th floor and there is no lift and you will have to walk a short distance to the property as it is in the middle of a pedestrian area but is onlt a 10 minute walk from the bus/train station if you come in that way. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They were all bright, cheery and always had a smile. The introduction to the property is comprehensive including an email sent when I booked that explained lots of things. When I was there I asked if they could point me towards a bar showing NFL and although they didn't know at the time within an hour I had an email from them listing a couple of bars along with links to google maps to show directions and how to use their wifi hotspot should I prefer that. Would happily stay here again and the staff are fantastic. THANK YOU.
• Duane (10/5): - Very friendly service, great amenities. Loved the common area for use of a great coffee machine, kitchen, and lounge looking out over the city and water! Great location in the middle of Split Old Town. We stayed in 5 different properties across Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy and this was our favorite.
• JP (10/5): - I loved it here! It was a great little oasis in the heart of Diocletian's Palace which is very packed with tourists. The rooms were clean, quiet, and well appointed and the best part: there is a terrace and shared kitchen on the upper floor AND a rooftop deck! I'll definitely stay here again when I'm in Split.
• Rachelle (10/5): - Perfect location to see all sights. Hosts extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful terrace.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great central location. We did have to walk up 4 floors (no elevator) but it was fine! Lovely rooftop and seating area.
• Juliet (10/5): Fabulous - Amazing stay, friendly and helpful service. A few flights of stairs to reach the room but made up for with the excellent views from the rooftop terraces!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Unique location in the heart of the old city and palace! Very friendly staff emmet and owner mirko!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was excellent! The rooms are not as “new “ as they look in the pictures , but the amenities are great - a wonderful kitchen with a great coffee machine, a very nice terrace etc. The staff is outstanding! They went out of their way to accommodate us - helped us with luggage , allowed us to check out later, and were generally super friendly , warm , accommodating and efficient. I just can’t praise them enough!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect location... amazing helpful staff, really good room
• CARL (10/5): Top accommodation & hosts! - Brilliant stay, kindest people, excellent service from both hosts they can’t do enough for us. We wish them all the very best. And don’t hesitate to book this place & people are highly recommend We will be back!!
• Saori (10/5): - Staff there were so friendly! The place is the center of the old town, so it's a convenient place but at night it was a bit noisy.
• Sekhar (10/5): - Great location and outstanding service. Emir and Zeljko are super hosts and will help with everything. The room was very comfortable for 3 and even 4 and there's a terrace lounge with coffee and a view.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic place with ‘can’t beat location’ and staff
• Elisabeth (10/5): - The service was the best I have ever had at a hotel/apartment accommodation. They were friendly and extremely helpful. They went above and beyond. I will be staying there again when I visit Split!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service, location and clean. Highly recommend.
• Rebecca (10/5): - This apartment is amazing, right in the centre of old town and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The two level roof terraces are lovely and allowed us to relax, pop out and see more of Split, then return and relax again. We were also welcome to use the roof terraces once we had checked out until we had to catch our ferry out of Split. 11/10, it was that good.
• Janice (10/5): Great stay - Great location in the heart of the city walls with excellent service, eg pick up at the bus station a wonderful start to my stay. Room spacious and comfortable, staff helpful and friendly with rooftop kitchen facilities available 24/7. Highly recommended.
• Bonnie (10/5): - The staff was extremely attentive and always quick to respond to emails.(not always onsite ) terrace was phenomenal, we hosted group of 15 on rooftop deck they had supplies for drinks and serving... it was fantastic
• Antonio (10/5): Extraordinary people, excellent location,greatroom - First of all great people. Every detail was always covered and any request was intermediately attended well beyond the call of duty. In addition good humor and a very pleasant attention was the norm. From check in to check out. The location is excellent right in the mile of the all palace with everything just close by. The room was vary nice and its double windows really insulated you from the outside world. For sure this is the place we will return.
• Susan (10/5): Wonderful stay - Emir was an amazing host/concierge. Very knowledgeable with helpful info. Also loved his straight-forwardness. Yacob was the daytime soul of the place, warm and welcoming. Well-located, but no elevator and area can get loud at night.
• Katherine (10/5): Second time - I stayed here back in Sept 2018 and loved it so came back this year in May. It is a great place to stay. Location, helpful and friendly staff, just all around comfortable. The terrace upstairs is great place to have your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. Easy access to the port. I highly recommend staying here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay in Split - Fantastic location; great service from booking to leaving. Met and sent off at bus-station to help with luggage. Full facilities, including use of roof-top terrace siting area and kitchen, wi-fi, in-room kettle and fridge, welcome drinks..
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great time in Split - This place is in a perfect location in Split inside the palace. Our hosts their Jakob and Emir were fabulous. Carried luggage to and from taxi and up 4 flights of stairs. Only negative we’re climbing the stairs but we had only room, the Superior room on the 4 th floor with an incredible terrace with great views and was fantastic if you wanted to cook , drink etc and relax. Even had a higher level balcony with even better views of all around. Room was good with a bedroom and a separate living area or bedroom. We had three adults and were comfortable. Bathroom shower was a bit small and only had handheld shower faucet but was fine after getting use to it. But this is a great place with hosts that will help you with any details you may need with your travels. Call them ahead for tour suggestions etc. I didn’t but wished I had. Really liked Split plenty to do for the 2 days we were there. Wish we would have stayed longer and did more day trips to other islands , parks etc. Great base for a lot of that. Gets a bit hectic when cruise ships roll in but May was a good time to visit even though about 10 degrees cooler than normal. Good for touring not for beach and a bit chilly to sit outside at night.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room included a small welcome pack of drinks which was a welcome touch.
• Suckow- (8/5): - Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Shower needs renovation
• E (6/5): - First impressions of Banica were not great as we walked up a dirty staircase with an open front door to the building with a bin at the bottom of the stairs. Building was very central in palace area. Room felt a little tired compared to our first accommodation in Split The glass in the door to balcony was cracked and there was no key to lock this door but think it would be difficult for anyone to break in. The main door to the building remained open all night long which felt unsafe and the street noise echoed throughout the building - there was no trouble however. We had a safe but no instructions on how to operate so we ended up having to ring staff up to ask how to use. Adrian seemed pleasant enough but didn't explain how things worked and unfortunately dashed off before we realised there was no manual for using the safe. Freebies in fridge and coffee pods/tea were a really nice touch. Great bathroom with plenty of hot water. Roof terrace fantastic -actually there were two!! Again upstairs there were gadgets for our use but no manuals/instructions on how to use - this place could be fabulous with a little more care and attention.
• Natalia (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful- Room 32 was stunning. Location is perfect. Staff were so very helpful and friendly. I would come back and stay here in a heartbeat!
• Greg (10/5): - the service of these people was well beyond expectation - having them meet us at the ferry in a storm is a great memory
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - It was difficult to find the hotel, but when we found it and climbed the three flights of stairs, the room was lovely and the views from the roof were fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great stay. Would highly recommend it, especially for the location.
• Katherine (8/5): Location - Great location, friendly staff.
• Debra (8/5): - Poor wifi
• Kenneth (10/5): Amazing and great location. - Amazing apartment right in the Palace area. Lovely rooftop terrace. Wish we had stayed more days. Management arranged for transfer from airport and carried our luggage up to 4th floor apartment. Good recommendations and detailed directions.
• Colleen (10/5): - Great stay. Staff is really helpful. Location is fantastic, palace is literally around the corner. Breakfast place is good, nothing spectacular but still good, and also really close to the hotel.
• Steve (10/5): - Excellent location in city center. Terrace patio where guests can enjoy view of the city and beautiful sunsets. Host is very helpful and speaks excellent English.
• tyler (10/5): - Host was excellent. Helped with bags, very quick check in. Had some complementary drinks on fridge upon arrival. Roof top terrace was beautiful! Great place to stay😀
• Rachel (10/5): Girls Trip - This hotel is managed so well. We were met at the ferry, and we had help with the luggage. We got tips for restaurants and tours, also. There is a great rooftop area for having wine and watching the sun go down. We loved this place and the staff was amazing.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good value for money - Central location, up 3 flights of stairs which is the norm around Split. Lovely apartment. Very clean and bright. Welcome was very nice.
• Robert (10/5): - The host Emir, was fantastic, be it communication via e-mail or phone. He met me as arranged and helped with everything. He explained all about the local area, best restaurants and where to catch the ferries and buses.
• Andy (10/5): Great play to stay in central Split - Nice apartment, lovely roof terrace and very friendly and helpful staff
• Ruth (10/5): 100% would recommend to friends and family - We would highly recommend these apartments if you are visiting Split. Right in the heart of the old town within yards of the cathedral, restaurants and shops, and a 3 minute walk to the harbour, the location couldn’t be more perfect. We stayed on the top floor in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with very comfortable beds and immediate access to a beautiful terrace and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a bean to cup barista style coffee machine for the perfect espresso, cappuccino or flat white etc, which was just the icing on the cake! We also had free access to the rooftop terrace with a panoramic rooftop view of the old town and cathedral, and a perfect view of the harbour side fireworks show! The staff are very friendly and always happy to help with info and assistance, or even just a chat. We brought our two teenage children who had a lovely time, they were especially impressed with the great WiFi, the little pizza takeaway on the corner of the street and the amazing sweet shop opposite! We really can not fault the apartments but if you struggle with stairs it wouldn’t be suitable, the treat of a rooftop view comes with many flights of stairs. We have all returned home much fitter!! We would recommend to family and friends.
• Luis (10/5): Perfect location in Hadrian’s Palace - Location doesn’t get better than Banica, you are in the middle of Hadrian’s Palace. Rooms are modern, clean, spacious and quiet. Their terrace is an added bonus as you can see the old city and the sea. Service was outstanding and they gave us airport transportation for a reasonable fee. There is no lift but they will help you with bags. You are close to everything in the city. Highly recommend this place. Simply excellent.
• Maritza (10/5): Great Place in Split - It was amazing, Mr.Emir Sakic was so helpful in every way. Prior to our trip he emailed us to welcome us. We were picked up at the airport and he met us at the car to walk us to the apartment. The room and bathroom were spacious and very clean. He helped us booked a great walking tour as we unfortunately were only there for one day. There are stairs going to the room, but they are wide enough it makes it easier to go 3 floors up. The apartment is on a great location and walking distance to the pier.
• Kimberly (10/5): - The service was excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful! The room was immaculate and the terraces on the roof were amazing. We left our bags on our check out day and then returned and sat on the terrace. It was really a wonderful place. Split was too busy for our liking—which made it really nice to be able to go back and sit in the terrace and relax.
• natalie (8/5): Gem in the heart of the Diocletian Palace - Lovely apartment with a fantastic location in the heart of Split, inside the walls of the Diocletian Palace. One point to note is if you have mobility issues it is situated on the 3rd & 4th floors. Wonderful staff, we were welcomed with a personalised email ahead of our stay and were met at the ferry port to direct us to the hotel. Rooms clean and spacious, access to the roof terrace which is a great spot to eat breakfast from the nearby bakery. Would definitely stay again
• Ali (10/5): - Booked this room last minute and it was one of my favorite hotels during our trip! (If not my favorite!) It's a hidden gem. The room itself is very spacious and the hostess was flexible with our check-in time which was extremely appreciated as we were coming from another hotel and had a lot of luggage to carry. This hotel is right in the heart of Old Town Split - walking distance from everything. Not only is the location great, but the room had all of the amenities we needed and then some. There was a rooftop that we had access to (along with a kitchen) where we went and enjoyed a bottle of wine. It was so serene and overlooked all of Split. 10/10 would recommend.
• Charlton (8/5): Convenient and comfortable - We had a fine experience at Banica Apartments. Our host provided a gracious welcome with excellent suggestions and instructions. The location within the Diocletian Palace was very convenient and after I became oriented, was an easy place to find. The two view terraces were a nice feature. It was a nice place to hang out and relax with a beer or other beverage after walking around in the warm sun.
• Joanne (8/5): Good stay - This room is all about the terrace, location, and wonderful owner Dara The room is fine, clean and well equipped with refrigerator and television. The terrace adds great space and the most incredible view. The location is a ten minute walk downhill to the seaport....we took taxis back, uphill, after dinner at high expense:$20 for a 3 minute ride, but prices are fixed by zones. Dara is most helpful and responsive. Good WiFi and laundry too. Would stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely excellent apartment in a beautiful city, we didn't want to leave. This apartment is around the corner (literally) from the cathedral and centre of the palace. Shops, restaurants, bars and the waterfront are all within 2 minutes walk. The staff were very helpful on arrival and departure. Our host arranged a taxi pickup from the airport (around 240 kuna). The room was clean and tidy and came with free bottled water, tea, coffee and bottled beer. The best bit about this apartment was the (seemingly unique) rooftop terrace, from which the entire old town with its bell tower and the harbour are all visible. Our only word of warning is that you can just about hear people on thw street below, but the windows are double glazed and we stayed up beyond midnight every night so weren't troubled at all.
• Timothy (10/5): - This room was perfect. The location couldn't be better, though a little difficult to find at first. It is actually is perfectly located, but using phone GPS and the streets of Split didn't make it easy. Once you find it the first time, it is not difficult getting back. The staff was incredibly nice/helpful. The included extras (water, beer, juice) were a nice touch and the staff even came with us to find parking for our rental car instead of just giving us directions. Not many hotels will do that. We were extremely happy with this find.
• RuPrincessJr (10/5): - Lovely, clean, and well furnished apartments with a lovely staff! I was on a 3 week vacation with my boyfriend and we traveled all across Italy and Croatia and this location was by far our favorite! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home. When we arrived, Emir greeted us and insisted on helping us carry our bags up the few flights of stairs. Upon showing us our room, there was beer, soda, and water in the fridge for our convenience as well as candy. There was also a public kitchen with amenities available to all the people staying (e.g., olives, milk, olive oil, cooking supplies, etc). The kitchen was also stocked with a brand new espresso machine which made for lovely mornings on the terrace (which provides excellent views of the entire city!). The staff also has an agreement with a local restaurant for discounted breakfasts (6 euros) which serves a large breakfast (you have 3 options). The restaurant is also located right in Diocletian’s square. While these may seem like little things, it’s the little things that made us feel more at home when compared to all the other places that we stayed. In addition to amenities, the location of the building is excellent, with Diocletian’s Palace only a few steps away from the building. We could even see the temple of Jupiter from our window as well as the bell tower. 10/10 and/or 5 stars. Thank you again to the staff for such a pleasurable stay. We will be back!
• Jose (10/5): - We were met at the ferry port and taken back to the apartment and served coffee while we waited for our room to be ready. The location is excellent, close to everything and there is a lovely view from the terrace. Staff were very helpful and patient in answering all our questions.
