Cornaro Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a perfect hotel from which to explore the center of Split. Diocletion's Palace is just steps away, as is shopping and many cafés and restaurants. The pool on the roof is awesome and is a great place for photos. The view from the restaurant on the roof is also spectacular. We ate in two of the hotel restaurants, the one on the roof and the one on the ground floor. Both were delicious. The hotel room was comfortable and clean. I would stay here again and I highly recommend it to others."

"The guy at the reception was very welcoming and helpful. We had a car; the parking was convenient. 20EU a day. It is a 20-minute walk from the old city; we walked it, and it was not a problem or scarry. We actually prefer to stay outside of the old town. Breakfast was good."

Divota Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in one of the studio apartments at Divota Apartment Hotel and had a great experience. Our apartment had two beds, a kitchen, refrigerator, and even a washing machine, which was really convenient during our trip. The apartments are spread between different buildings, so our room was about a three-minute walk from the main reception building. The location was excellent—only about a 10-minute walk to the city center, so we could easily walk everywhere while still staying in a quieter area. The apartment was extremely clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely nice throughout our stay. Breakfast is also served in a separate building, about a three-minute walk away, but it was definitely worth it. There was a great variety of choices, everything was plentiful and constantly replenished, and the staff made coffee fresh to order. We were very comfortable here and really enjoyed our stay. Great location, wonderful staff, excellent breakfast, and a spotless apartment. I highly recommend Divota Apartment Hotel!"
