Lovely, kind host, gave us fresh lemonade and melon on arrival on the beautiful terrace. Stayed here for two nights either side of our trip and both rooms were clean, cool and quiet. V good location in the middle of the bustling old town with a 10 min walk to bus station and ferry port. Would definitely stay here again.

Tucked into Diocletian’s Palace walls, and up 3 flights of stairs, this property offers clean and comfortable rooms in the heart of the many restaurants, bars and shops. Malena is very hospitable.

Rating based on great location inside the palace walls, comfortable bed, great soundproofing, and good use of available space to maximize storage. My wife and I had room #1 and heard very little noise even though bars and restaurants were three floors down. There were lots of hooks and shelves in the bathroom which made it nice to store toiletries. Otherwise it’s a basic room with limited natural light, somewhere to sleep and rest between activities. One must climb three flights of stairs to get to the unit, and the path to the stairwell goes through a back alley. I thought the A/C was adequate but people who really like to crank the temperature down may be disappointed.

Convenient lovely smaller hotel in a very walkable and safe area that is itself the heart of Split. The hostess was gracious and shared her knowledge of the area as well as some useful tips on what to see, where to find good restaurants etc. the hotel room was bright, clean and nicely decorated and came with air conditioning which was most welcome.

가성비 오케이~

샤워할 때 뜨거운 물 잘 안나오는 것 빼고 다 좋았어요. 엘리베이터 없이 4층 올라가야해서 짐이 많으신 분이라면 유의하셔야 될 것 같네요. 사장님께서 너무 친절하시고 잘 대해주셔서 편히 머물 수 있었습니다.

Marlena palace was a fantastic place to stay. My husband and I were there for two nights before a cruise and were very happy with our stay. It’s a little tricky to find- through the posidion restaurant side alley and then up the stairs- but everything in split is tricky to find :). Only three rooms at this hotel, big rooms and clean, great air conditioning, rooftop patio. Right in the Center of of the walled city. I highly recommend staying there.

Had wonderful stay at the Malena Palace. Room was large, brand new, and spotless. Location is perfect, in the middle of everything. And the hostess Malena was so friendly and very helpful. We would stay again !! Just a tip, when you get to the door to the apartments (small sign that says Malena Palace), ring the doorbell and Malena will open the door and greet you and take you to your apartment.

Great location and surprisingly quiet rooms given you’re right in the middle of all the action. Booking on Expedia and selecting pay at property only to find out when we arrived that the property only took cash resulted in substantial fees from having to take money out of a bank machine. This was a disappointment

Be prepared for stairs (3 flights). If cne you’re over that it’s a wonderful guest room ( they have 3 rooms). Malena and her husband were super hospitable - Malena offering to let me go to the roof and drink her homemade lemonade. Her husband graciously assisted carrying my medium sized luggage at check in and check out (7am check out even). Location is recessed but no worries once you get to your rooom.

Split

Come and say hi to Malena and Milan, the apartments are smack bang in the middle of old Split. Sit on the terrace in the evening and just look at the church. Ask Malena for her beautiful lemonade drink. Everything you want in Split is literally a stone throw from the apartments. The apartments are beautifully clean and tidy and there is tea coffee available and if you need it Malena can help with washing. You won't be disappointed
