Find Guest houses in Split

We only stayed at House Sandra for one night but really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect. It’s a 10 minute walk to the old town / tourist area - far enough away to be out of the noise of the town but easily close enough to walk in and out. There is a supermarket less than a 5 minute walk and a nice pizza restaurant just 2 minutes walk away. The room we had was on the top floor. (A bit tricky taking a large, heavy suitcase up the stairs to the entrance hall and again to the main room - but you only have to do it once). The room was really spacious with a fridge, coffee machine, and some plates and cutlery. It had good air conditioning and the TV had Netflix and Amazon Prime installed (although you need your own account details). There was also a large sofa which could easily sleep another person. The bathroom was also a good size - it had a shower but no bath. Everything was spotless. I can’t think of anything bad / negative to say about House Sandra.

I booked the apartment very late on a Friday and went out on the Sunday. The taxi driver pointed me in the right direction outside the apartment, it was about 30m away from the road. The taxi was booked through Dora, who I delt with at the apartment, 45 euros each way for the taxi, It was a very plush Mercedes. I had the purple apartment, I was very happy with it, very clean, well maintained, good quality, the bed was maid every day, and was very comfortable, air conditioning, fridge, nice shower, TV, everything you could want in an apartment, but having a balcony, was the cherry on the cake, amazing, decent views, and has the sun shining on it until 9pm. The apartment is very quiet at night, its about 4-5 minute walk to the main area of the town, and it also has a small shop 1 minute away to buy food, sandwiches, beer, its much cheaper than in the town, ideal. There is only one small thing that was a negative, but Im not sure if the apartment is in control of it. The Nirvana apartments are on the 3rd floor, unfortunately there is no lighting as you walk in and up to the 3rd floor, other people and companies have the other floors, so I don't know if its up to them to light that area, if you are back before 9pm, then no problem. I chatted to the couple who were in the next apartment, they were very happy their apartment. Would I go back, YES, next week if I could, I had a great time, and Dora, who you will deal with at Nirvana Rooms is a star, very helpful.

The accommodation has several separate rooms all accessed from a main door to the building then a separate key coded door to a small foyer for Luxury Rooms Floramye and again a separate key code for access to the individual rooms. Very secure and no need to worry about swipe cards or keys to gain access. The foyer had maps of the main tourist area that guests can take along with some other brochures. A stand with umbrellas for guest use was also in the foyer and a small tub chair. The room I stayed in was large along with a separate large bathroom. The room contained a large bed with nice linen. A tub chair and another chair and small table that had coffee brewing machine, electric jug and mugs and glasses and spoon, bottle opener and cork screw. A small fridge (no freezer) was located under the small table enough to cool some water or drinks or a small amount of refrigerated food or milk. A medium sized television on the wall with local channels with the ability to log into Netflix using your own account if you have a subscription . Two large windows with shutters enabled light and air to be controlled in the room. There is also an air conditioning unit. Plenty of lights and power points including USB ports. A large wardrobe with hangers that also has some shelves on one side that has a safe and medical box. There are also multiple supermarkets near the accommodation and a few small food/cafe places and bakery very close by. There is a little traffic noise in the morning and evening rush hour but I had no problem with this and slept well . The WiFi in the room was very good. The bathroom has towels , hand towel, face washer and bath mat. There is also a hair dryer and heated drying rack on the wall for drying towels and power point and a shaver power point. The bathroom cabinet has two drawers for storing items in. The shower has two glass sliding doors for easy access and has a rainfall shower head and a smaller shower head that can also be hand held. Plenty of hot water was always available. The walk to the Riva or the bus station and ferry is approx 15 mins and with two wheeled luggage I had no trouble walking to the accommodation after arriving by train late in the evening. The other main bus station for city or urban buses was also approx 15 min walk. I would say the location is walkable but for those with a lot of luggage or not prone to walking after a day of sightseeing you may prefer to get transportation by bus or taxi . Overall I would rate this accommodation very highly . The owner communicated well and replied promptly with information about my stay and codes to gain access. I had no issues during my stay, with other guests from the other rooms coming and going always being respectful and as quiet as possible.

This was a very good choice. We were just here for one night. We chose the apartment as there were three of us and we really wanted 2 separate rooms. This place was perfect for us. It was a really high quality modern apartment, clean, spacious, with a nice view and a bit of a terrace. Although we didn’t do any cooking, we sure appreciated the refrigerator. I was on the pull-out sofa bed.. and the mattress on that could have been better.. maybe provide a topper? The staff where excellent, friendly and very accommodating. We arrived far too early for check-in but were able to leave our bags there and go explore. We still had an early check-in and also a delayed check-out (due to 2 of my party just not waking up in time). Thanks for the flexibility! This is a really good location from where to explore Split.

On our recent trip to the Balkans we stayed in six locations in five different cities in three countries, All locations were clean, enjoyable, safe and hospitable but Lanterna and the family that runs it came out tops in their willingness to assist our stay with arranging great restaurants and tours to help us to get the most from the trip. Lanterna’s location is ideal in that it is on the fringe of the old town thereby providing easy access to the historic sights waterfront and restaurants but away from majority of the noise and crowds. Sanya in particular went out of her way to make sure every detail of our visit was what we wanted to get our of our Split visit. She even came to our car when we arrived and navigated us to the secure parking located 100 yards from our door. As it is an historic stone building the rooms are a bit on the small side but are nicely equipped. But the attentiveness and consideration of the staff and family more than made up for that inconvenience.

Very good location, on the 14th floor of an office building, within 15 minutes walk from the train station, bus station, pier, and ancient city, the room is very spacious and clean, the view is very good (second killing the level of the observation deck). But the problem is that the contact information of the hotel on Trip.com is wrong (it is the phone number of other companies under Luxury, not this store), and the hotel has no front desk. It took me a long time to contact the hotel for accommodation. Figure 3 in the comments is the correct call

Let me start by saying I'd give the Authentic Luxury Hotel 6 stars if I could! First thing I noticed is when I would ask questions, I'd get a quick response via *******. And prior to our visit, the staff would ask US questions, i.e., do you need transportation from/to the airport? As soon as we landed in Split, our driver was there with a sign to alert us who we were looking for. He was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed to Split. We arrived a bit early and were greeted by Ivana (who was fabulous). She told us we could leave our luggage in the reception area (a small office where breakfast is also served) and that they would put them in our room for us when the rooms are ready. Since Americans are used to a ”hotel” where it may be multiple floors in one building, it is different in Croatia. The actual hotel has 2 different buildings - 2 of the rooms we were in were just a few steps away in the same building as the office. It was extremely warm & humid so the air conditioning was very welcome! Breakfast consisted of cheeses, meats, croissants, bread, pastries, boiled egg, coffee and juice which was a perfect start to the day. Since we were boarding a ship the next day, we needed help getting our luggage to the boat and we were assisted by Mario (hope I have your name right!). To walk to your boat with luggage is not unusual and we appreciated his help! When returning from our cruise (which was also fabulous) we stayed again especially since it was so wonderful the first time. Our second room was even better. It was in a different building but again, they put our luggage in our room for us. While it was on the second floor (no elevator - old, charming building that is being renovated), we did not have to lug our luggage up those stairs - they took care of that for us. Our updated room was very nice! And when we left the next day, once again, the driver loaded our luggage up for us and off we went back to the Split airport. I would stay here again! ＜3

The owners were very rude. I was going to give a good review, even though we had some problems at first (breakfast was very poor, the toilet seat would not stay in position, inside the shower was the water heater, there was no one at the reception desk, only early in the morning and many many more). The worst thing happened as we were leaving. We weren't told that we had to pay in cash and we didn't have any. For 1 hour and a half my husband wondered around looking for an ATM machine to get cash. I told them to charge my credit card through the website and the refused and the lady told me (with the few English words that she knew) that it was my problem, not hers. They even refused that if we canceled the reservation, they would charge my credit card, even after I showed them the website that said it clearly. They simply didn't want to help us at all. They just sat there, staring at us, waiting for us to come up with a solution. Eventually we did, but we should we? It was the day that we were leaving Croatia, we had a very long day ahead of us, why should we exhaust ourselves over someone who does not care about their customers? I repeat, my husband was wondering around for 1 and a half hour guys. They could have told us earlier but they didn't. They responded to my comment that they threatened us to call the police because we didn't want to pay. That's a big fat lie. I was talking to the owner's son because she doesn't speak English. I don't know if he never translated that, but we were never threatened, simply because we wanted to pay. Even if we left without paying, they could charge my credit card. We wanted to pay, but they should have told us that we had to pay in cash at least a day earlier. But how would they do that, since NOBODY was working? NOBODY was at the reception. Way too expensive accommodation for what they are offering and very rude owners.
