Guest Reviews
- Blair (10/5): - Location is amazing, just steps away from the peristyle court. I loved that the wall of our bathroom was the original Roman wall of Diocletian’s palace!
- frederic (8/5): -
- Corcoran (10/5): Luxurious stay in centrally located 2 bedroom space with fantastic staff and breakfast - The luxurious and historic hotel was ideally located in the walls of the Diocletian Palace. Steps from excellent restaurants, the Riva, shopping, and historic settings. The bedding and shower were perfect. The included breakfast was delicious and more than we could possibly eat. The staff, Ivan and Edita, made rental car parking and luggage management a breeze and were unfailingly gracious and kind. A truly wonderful 3 day stay in the historic area of Split.
- Michael (10/5): Amazing property in the BEST location with wonderful staff - Amazing hotel with an amazing staff - Vita and Ivan did everything possible to ensure that we had a perfect stay
- Terry (9/5): Would definitely stay there again. - Location was excellent - right in the heart of old town. Staff was amazing - thoughtful, courteous and eager to assist in anyway they could. Breakfast was at local restaurant and was wonderful - nice choices and generous portions. Also, room was quiet and comfortable. View from room was just okay - but still a great stay.

- Richard (10/5): A special.place to stay - The hotel is in an exceptional location, just a few steps from the peristyle of the palace.

I cannot suggest anything.

- Howard (10/5): - Lovely hotel, wonderful staff, Ivan met us at the pier and helped carry our luggage all the way to the hotel. Edith is wonderful, could not do enough for us. Breakfast in the courtyard was truly amazing, 3 course meal! Split is delightful, these people made it a wonderful memory.
- Victoria (10/5): Perfection - The location was amazing! Our bedroom bridged Cardo Street so we could open up our windows and look straight out into old town and towards the cathedral and vestibule. Lying in bed taking in the atmosphere with the window open was amazing. Having said that, the room was quiet and peaceful as soon as we closed it - best of both worlds!
The breakfast was a three course menu and absolutely delicious. The service was also great.
The rooms were so clean and beautiful. Rituals products were divine. Cleaning staff were super quick and our room was always done perfectly by the time we arrived back.
Finally, the hosts were brilliant and went above and beyond with helping with our luggage, booking us dinners (the best table in the house at Liones - chef’s kiss), recommending boat tours and giving general tips about where to go, what to see and the history of Split.
Don’t hesitate - book this hotel as soon as you can! It’s was our favourite of the whole trip.

- W5735YAvirginiad (10/5): Amazing and beautiful - This boutique hotel is the most beautiful place we stayed at. The accommodations were beyond amazing. Thank you to staff, exceptional, friendly and caring. We don’t want leave them. Shout out to Edita, Ivan and Domenic. They went beyond and above to help us in any way.
- James (10/5): - We can only give the Cardo Heritage Hotel top marks for everything! The hotel exceeded expectations and we would have no hesitation staying there again
- Paula (10/5): A memorable experience in the stunning Heritage Hotel Cardo. - We stayed at this lovely property for three nights and our experience was nothing short of fabulous. The location, service, history and attention to detail was simply over the top. Evita, Ivan and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The ease of communication from the very beginning of our stay, right up until we departed was easy and so much appreciated. We will certainly be back. I can’t think of a thing.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the location and the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Ivan met us at the parking space, help carry all of our bags and made a parking situation that could have been stressful so easy. The hotel is cute, clean and exceptionally comfortable. They only have 5 rooms and you really feel like being home. Highly recommend.
- Kirk (10/5): - What an amazing hotel, incredible location in the heart of Old Town Split yet so peaceful even with the crowds. And the breakfast!!! Oh my, worth the price of the room. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable bed. We can’t think of a better accommodation to stay in.
- Linda (10/5): Great location.halp block off the ancient Roman square sraff assisted with transport from ferry and Toby’s good breakfa - Great location. Half block off the Roman square
- Jennifer (10/5): - Excellent location, condition, service and AC!
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great. People were special. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable!
- Amy (10/5): Heavenly hotel - The hotel was first class. I would have no hesitation to recommend it. They were tops in customer satisfaction, and could not be more helpful. The staff never used the word “no” and nothing was too much trouble. They bent over backwards to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. The location was superb and near to everything in the old city.
- Jamaal (10/5): - This property is located in the core of the palace compound, and is feet away from all activities and superb food and beverage purveyors. My family and I experienced true hospitality from Ivan, Evita and Jeronim. They left no questions unanswered. They were prompt, communicative and efficient, yet gentle. I wish I could say the most amazing part of my experience was being able to look out at the belltower of the cathedral as it rang while enjoying total peace and luxury. Instead, I’m wondering when I will book again. Do not hesitate to book this place!
- Karen (10/5): - Ivan and Dominick couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful. The hotel is charming, breakfast was amazing. We were very well cared for!
- Michele (10/5): Couldn’t be beat! - The hotel was lovely, the location couldn’t be better, and the staff at the hotel were delightful—very helpful and so nice! And the breakfast that is included with the room is yummy!!!!
- Dennis (10/5): Great stay in Split. - Such a nice Boutique Hotel. Right in center of Palace. A little hard to find at first as the entry is a narrow stairs, but well worth the short search. Room was spacious, and beautifully appointed. Restaurants all around. The breakfast was rather nice indeed.
- Meghna (10/5): - Very nice stay. Location is awesome. Our room and bathroom were very cramped. Not enough space to keep luggage. The hosts were great. Helped with parking and luggage.
- Maria (10/5): I loved it! - Excellent location, very cozy place
- Erem (10/5): - Good environment
- Erem (10/5): - , The hotel is incredibly nice
- Florian (9/5): Superb -
- Janice Lydia (10/5): - The hotel is situated in a prime position in Old Town Split, with the Palace, shops and restaurants being easily accessible The rooms are tastefully decorated in keeping with the age of the building. The staff are extremely warm and welcoming, and they go out of their way to ensure your every need is catered for, with a genuine interest in helping you to make the most out of your stay.
- Ross (10/5): Perfect stay in the heart of Split - An excellent stay at a beautiful hotel. The staff were extremely attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Whether that was giving us recommendations for restaurants, assisting us with luggage or just supplying us with extra bottles of water - nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Perfect location right in the middle of the palace. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
- Ruta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely Hotel - We had an amazing stay from start to finish. We were treated like honoured guests by the entire staff, who made every effort to make sure every need was met. The location was amazing - within the palace walls and minutes walk from all the sites. We hope to return here in the future. Thank you!
- Kierans (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel was beautiful right inside the walls of the castle. I felt I was in a fairy tale
The lady and gentleman receptionist were extremely helpful, the room was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious.
I highly recommend staying in Hotel Cardo.
- Susan (10/5): Perfection! - Everything- authentic stunning property located within the palace walls. Even tho we were surrounded by antique beauty- the WiFi and modern amenities were perfect.
Ivan and Edita were outstanding host and hostess. We would definitely return to CARDO! Nothing.
- Mutandis (8/5): Dwell like a Roman Emperor - The fabulous location of Hotel Cardo allows residents to explore the Diocletian's Palace at their leisure, including in the brief period of peace before the arrival of the bulk of the Palace’s visitors. It really transformed our experience of Split to be able to visit the Peristyle and cathedral in relative solitude.
Of course, there are some compromises that come with being located in such an ancient area. Our bathroom was a little whiffy and the small footprint of the hotel means that facilities are essentially limited to the rooms. However, the charming staff ensure that guests are well looked after. Their love and knowledge of the city certainly infused us with an appreciation for all that Split has to offer.
An excellent breakfast is provided by the hotel at a welcoming local café. My only critical observation would relate to the strict “one-drink” policy of the café – it would be nice to be offered a second or third coffee (as you typically would be if taking breakfast in a hotel), rather than having to request and pay for one as an extra.
Our room was spacious and historic, with a large, luxurious bathroom. Our windows opened onto the steps which lead to the entrance to the hotel. That’s not ideal from a privacy perspective, but it’s not like the ancient building can be remodelled at this point in its history.
We really relished the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful building in the midst of one of the greatest surviving structures from the Roman age.
- Hope (10/5): - This was the perfect place to stay in Split, just steps from the center of the old town and a very short walk to the harbor. The room was lovely and very comfortable. The concierges were all helpful and one of them, Ivan, helped me find and book the most amazing place to stay outside of Plitvice Park for our next stop. He called them personally to arrange a better price than what was on offer. Then he printed out detailed driving directions because we were strugging with out GPS.
Over and beyond service. If we ever return to Split, we will stay there again.
- Tressa (10/5): The crown jewel in the palace - This historic hotel is in city center. Great location. The hotel is beautiful. Every detail is perfect. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is comfortable and cozy. Loved the daily breakfast.
- Pamela (7/5): Fantastic location in the heart of a palace - A fantastic location in the heart of the Diocletian palace, and a room with a view of a street that is some 1700 years old. It was raining when we arrived and Edita met us at the ferry with umbrellas and arranged a taxi to the hotel - which we might have struggled to find otherwise. She was exceptionally helpful, recommending and booking a restaurant for lunch on the first day. Other reviews raved about the breakfast which is provided at a restaurant around the corner, but we didn't enjoy it as much as others have done. It's a three course affair that was quite heavy going and the single cup of coffee served as part of the breakfast felt a bit mean. Our room was smaller than we had expected so it did feel a little cramped, and the lighting was poor - only one bedside table with a single lamp and nowhere convenient to plug in a phone. We wished we had booked a larger room - but that's on us. A lesson learned for next time!
- Alexis (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (10/5): Hotel Cardo is absolutely the best hotel property to stay in Split Old Town. - Everything was exceptional at Hotel Cardo. Ivan and his staff were amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed a perfect stay at the property. Our room and view was wonderful. overlooking the ancient cobblestoned walkway in the heart of the Diocletian's Palace. Hotel Cardo seemlessly retains the beauty and heritage of the Palace completed by modern amenities for our comfort. I would definitely recommend this property as the best in Split and look forward to visiting there again. nothing. It was ideal.
- Susan (10/5): Gorgeous property run by outstanding staff within the ancient palace walls of Split. - Everything was exceptional at Hotel Cardo. Ivan and Idita were wonderful. Warm, accommodating. and constantly went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay.Their restaurant recommendations were fantastic.The location was perfect, right in the middle of Old Town Split in the heart of the Diocletian Palace. The property offered us the beauty of its ancient walls and surrounding but with all the modern bathroom, wifi amenties we needed. I would absolutely recommended this property when are visiting Split. all was perfect.
- Lydia (4/5): Disappointing - Location was excellent, breakfast was also excellent. Hotel was lovely. We have experienced significant difficulty in having an issue resolved with Hotel Cardo which therefore results in our lower review of our stay in April 2024.
- Conor (10/5): Stunning hotel in an incredible location - Amazing old hotel with original windows etc right in in the middle of the old town. Staff were so helpful and nice - couldn’t do more. Room was tight but that is because it is the original building.
- Pamela (10/5): Best personalized service in fantastic location! - Outstanding personalized service - have traveled 80+ countries & this management & staff were the best!! Fantastic location within the Diocletian Palace. Delicious breakfast Might be difficult if mobility impaired as stairs to entry - request lower level room
- Mike (9/5): Superb -
- Phil (10/5): - Lovely, 5 room boutique hotel in the heart of the old city. Like having private luxury accommodations in the heart of a 15th century walled city. So cool.
- Catherine (10/5): - The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating. The room was luxurious and filled with character. Great stay to end a holiday.
- David (10/5): Perfect, boutique luxury hotel in the heart of Diocletian's Palace. First Class Staff & Service! - We loved our stay here. It's a small beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Diocletian's Palace (I don't think you could get a better location if you tried). The hotel is beautiful, updated, and very well decorated. Bed / Linens / Bathroom were all top notch. The nicest shower of our trip. The included breakfast was partnered with a local restaurant around the corner (Konoba Korta), which was perfect because it was on our list of places to try. Food quality was delicious and you had several choices to pick from, a la carte and freshly made.
All of that said, the BEST part of our stay here was the staff. They went above and beyond in every interaction to provide a fantastic, personalized experience. It was truly a luxury, boutique experience. From helping with our luggage upon arrival, to asking for restaurant recommendations (they even made our reservation for us upon request, and personally escorted us to show us the restaurant - it was a nice touch). We got to meet three different members of the staff during our short stay with them, and they were all lovely people. Upon check out, we were helped with our bags again + they helped show us the best place to set our Uber pickup location, and helped bring our bags all the way to the Uber (which was several blocks from the Hotel). Nothing. We would change nothing.
- Robert (10/5): - Lovely property and beautiful accommodations. The staff were so helpful and made it a perfect stay. I would highly recommend.
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - The location of this property is fantastic and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. If you are spending time in Split, this is the place to stay.
- Cheri (10/5): Staff were wonderful! I will be back!!! - Close proximity to everything inside Diocletian Palace.
The staff were so considerate and helpful! The perfect location! I loved everything!
- davidcR6521SU (10/5): The Best! - This hotel is a hidden gem. Located 'in the middle of everything" and very comfortable in all ways measurable. The biggest aspect is staff. These people are so helpful and sincere. We had a medical issue and they dropped everything to help and guide. Edita was such a sweetheart and could not have been more helpful and sincere. If we go to Croatia again, I will not miss staying at Hotel Cardo.
- Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (10/5): - So glad we found this place. Stayed at a total of 6 hotels during recent European trip and this, by far, was the best. The staff was as accommodating as any St Regis or the likes. While the rooms are small, you are inside the walls in the palace, beautifully appointed and very comfortable beds etc.
