The property has been professionally renovated that has the amenities and comfort of a luxury hotel, and much more. The kitchen was well supplied, and I loved the murals of old Split on the wall.

The location was amazing in a newly renovated space. It was wonderful to be in the heart of the area and within the palace walls. The building is almost finished being completed updated and we were the first to stay in one of the renovated apartments.

Our stay at this apartment was fantastic. The building is currently being renovated in the stairway but the room was beautiful! The location is perfect inside the walls of the palace, close to everything including shops, restaurants and bars. The only downfall we found was the lift wasnt working but im sure this will be part of the renovations. The host was more than happy to assist with our bags and communication was clear and simple through Whatsapp. Highly recommend anyone going to Split to stay here! We definitely will if we ever get the opportunity!

Lovely apartment in a fantastic location

We stayed in the suite which has a double bedroom and a separate living room/kitchen. It has fabulous views over the harbour on one side and the old town on the other. It has been beautifully renovated. You do need to bear in mind that there is no reception so be sure to let them know when you are expecting to arrive. They send you a video to show you how to navigate the maze of steps and alleyways on the old town which is easy to follow. The kitchen is well appointed although some kitchen roll would have been useful. The windows provide really great sound insulation from the church bells but we could hear people in the room above and to the side. Our only issue was that there wasn’t enough hot water for 2 consecutive showers.

The location was in within the walls of the old town palace. The rooms were very clean and modern. We could walk easily to excellent restaurants within minutes. We did have a problem gaining access to the prpperty in the there was no on-sight staff. And we had to enlist the help of a shop owner to call the property manager to come get us to take us to the facility and give us keys, etc. It would help to have information provided a day prior to our stay - such as access codes and directions for how to find the facility.

Stayed 2 nights in Split. Our host, Toma, was extremely communicative. If you book through Expedia, be sure to send a message when you expect to arrive because our host had to meet us to let us in and show us around. We were walked through the property, given a tour of the room, AND Toma provided a list of recommendations for nearby attractions within walking distance, restaurants, and gave us a little bit of history about the building and its surroundings. The rooms were newly renovated, comfortable bedding, came with a mini fridge and a nespresso machine with a variety of glassware (in case you feel like enjoying wine), a blow dryer and a steamer that worked like a charm. Oh and the bathroom had the BEST walk-in rain shower. Loved this place - would come again - highly recommend! Can’t thank Toma enough for being an amazing host :)

The location to the marina and castle was fantastic. In fact the unit was inside the castle walls. The down side was this is not an actual hotel, there is no front desk, no bellman, and it's kind of a maze to get to the unit. It's through the castle doors, up some stairs, around a corner, up a lot more stairs to a platform, to the right, a few more stairs, around a corner, over a plywood walkway til you are finally there. Luckily a man came to show us the way and carried our suitcases. Someone was supposed to show up at checkout to help us with the suitcases but they never came, so we got help from strangers. The unit was nice, very clean, very comfortable, and once you exited the maze everything you could possibly want was there...the restaurants, shopping, buses, boats, the marina, gelato everywhere. You could pop around every corner to something new. If you have mobility issues or just don't like to lug your heavy suitcases around, pick something else. If you like a 24 hour from desk, also pick something else. It worked out for us, but a hotel with breakfast would have been good too :)
