this is a beautiful location in the heart of Diocletian’s Palace. in fact one of its walls was a wall to the vestibul of the palace. if you want a guide ask the hotel to arrange for Dino Ivancic a professor of history and voted “Croatia’s best guide.” truly exceptional and fascinating!

Audrey United States of America

Loved the hotel. The best location. Specially the amazing Staff

Robert United States of America

The location, inside Diocletian's palace, cannot be beat. The staff, however, was the highlight of our stay. The front desk and the baggage handlers were exceptional! Breakfast was very nice and included great service.

Stephen United States of America

I was pleasantly surprised at the location and walking into such a beautiful surrounding area. The hotel staff and room was exceptional, the service outstanding. The breakfast was delicious and nutritious with just the right blend of sweet and savory. My flight on the day I was to arrive was cancelled, if the hotel hadn't notified me of this, I would have taken an unnecessary journey to the airport as the airline did not notify me! I appreciated the heads up from the hotel and driver.

Suzanne United States of America

Awesome location - definitely a unique property inside the palace

Denis United States of America

This hotel was fantastic. Absolute best service abs staff of anywhere I stayed ( I stayed in 4 different hotels). Super clean, modern comfortable room. Great breakfast. Killer location where I could hear the opera practicing a few nights. Loved it and I’ll definitely stay here next time I’m in Split. The young man on staff ( unfortunately can’t recall his name) was such a helpful and courteous gentleman.

Margaret United States of America

The hotel was in an amazing location, it felt like we were part of history. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel isn’t near a road so they sent someone to meet us at the road when we arrived. We were a large group (5 people) and the person from the hotel carried all our luggage bags. We were very impressed!

Lee United States of America

Convenient for one night stay. Comfortable bed, excellent staff to help with early morning driver

Elizabeth United States of America

Most wonderful hotel. Amazing location and staff was beyond fantastic. We lost our luggage and they managed to coordinate so that we would get it even after we left Split!

  • How many steps up to the lowest room? I assume there are no ground floor rooms
    Dear guest, Your assumption was correct, we do not have rooms on the ground floor in the main building nor at the annex Villa Dobric. In the main building (hotel Vestibul Palace) there are 13 stairs to the first room located on the mezzanine floor (Standard room). One Superior room and Junior Suite are located on the first floor and there are 19 stairs to those rooms from the ground floor. Pleas note that there are also 2 stairs on the hotel entrance.

  • Hi we are arriving with bikes on the ferry from Dubrovnik tomorrow. Would you have somewhere we can safely store our bikes, please?
    It is possible to store exclusively for our guests at the hotel.
    Answered on May 29, 2022
  • Is there a pool?
    Dear Guest, Thank you for your question, Unfortunately we do not have some facilities like pool, jacuzzi or spa because of our location in 1700-year-old Diocletian's palace and UNESCO protected part of Split old town. Hotel renovation was monitored by conservators and they did not allow that. However, one of our main features is proximity to beaches (10 minutes walking distance). We can also recommend you closest spa center which 20 minutes walking distanced from our hotel. Best regards, Marija Bulić
