Property's Favorite Review
We enjoyed our brief stay at this b and b.
The entire staff was welcoming and would do anything to help you.
The suggestions were all perfect from sites to see, to gelato, to dinner.
Room was extremely quiet. We thought we were the only guests, went to breakfast and the b and b seemed full! Never heard anyone.
Room was spotless. Balcony was roomy. Room was spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Shower had great water pressure and hot water!
Location convenient to historic area, but quiet. We enjoyed visiting the old town after the cruise ships left. When it was time to leave, we were able to walk to bus station.
As you can tell, we enjoyed our time here.

If you are looking for a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location, look no further!
We have stayed here a few times now and I can honestly say I would not go anywhere else. (This is not like us at all, we always love to try new places)
There are a variety of rooms to choose from and the hosts will ensure they recommend the best option for your needs.
The beds are so comfortable and the rooms are immaculately clean, offering all the little touches that make a big difference! (Mini bar, kettle, bath robes, slippers etc)
It is hard to find accommodation in such a central location with a pool. Although it is only small, it is a perfect place to have a dip and cool down after a busy day exploring or basking in the hot sun. The area is kept immaculate and iced, lemon water is always on hand to quench your thirst.
The best and in my opinion the most important part of this hotel are the owners.
They are just the most adorable, helpful, hard working hosts I have ever come across. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble. They bend over backwards to ensure you have the most perfect stay.
They issue you with a mobile phone with pre stored numbers so that if you need a taxi (far cheaper than any you may find in a rank) or help at any point, they are on hand to assist.
They will happily recommended restaurants and excursions and make bookings for you if you desire.
This place is absolute treasure and am blessed to have found it. To top it off, we have made life long friendships with the owners - you know the type when you actually cry leaving them, not only me but my son also! ❤️

This hotel is really the tops. Not a big hotel but a hotel with HUGE hospitality. The room, location, Maria (who is just incredibly helpful and sweet). The great breakfast with everything you'd want. Our room was excellent...loved the bathroom with every detail a woman (and man) could want or need. We had a fantastic terrace off the room with umbrella, 2 chaise lounges and cafe table and chairs. Totally centrally located with quick walk to everything. Um...really good. Period.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. Marija made us so welcome. Her communication with us was prompt and helpful . The rooms were beautiful and loved having our own terrace with sun loungers.
The attention to cleanliness and hygiene , especially at these times, was above expection and in excess of what we had previously experience since being in Croatia
Nice little pool area, albeit small
Location and proximity to old town is also in its favour
Would not hesitate in recommending this hotel to all

We stayed at Splendida for five nights and our experience was absolutely extraordinary.
Our flight arrived quite late in the night , given the circumstances due to Covid19 the hotel reception is now closing at 7pm but Anna kindly waited for us until 11pm to check us in.
Upon arrival they offered us a free room upgrade and showed us both rooms so we could decide whether we wanted to stick with the first choice or choose a different one.
The Customer Service is out of this world , Anna and Marija makes you feel like your visiting your Granny they are constantly looking after you and triying to feed you 🥰 absolutely nice ans warm hearted people.
The hotel is Spotlessly clean , everyday when we arrived back at the room everything was clean and shining like the very first day ! which was nice comparing to other hotels where they just walk in and tidy up and don't even change the towels.
In our last day we took the first ferry service to Brac island and because we were planning to set off quite early we called Marija to tell her not to worry about breakfast cuz we wouldn't be there in the morning.
When we got to the room she packed and left on our room our breakfast , I really love their approach to the business they make you feel at home not as if you are in a commercial place (yes sir ,no sir sort of customer service)
I really recommend Splendida Palace and I am looking forward to seeing you guys again.
Thank you very much Splendida Team
Best wishes,
Rafael

This hotel is one of the best we have ever been to in all our world travels. From the minute we arrived our bags were brought in, water served and a small taste of local wine given. The brother and sister of Dominique and Marija are extremely polite and thoughtful. The rooms are beautiful and the decor first class. Marija recommended dinner locations and even made the reservations with Portofino a fantastic restaurant in the Old City. Splendida Palace is along a narrow street but the reward and quiet is well worth staying here. Marija also lent us a cell phone with her number and numbers set in it for assistance if needed. Can you believe that! Who does that? Oh, and their breakfast is lovely, a first class variety of food ,eggs and juices. The dining room is first class too!
I’m hard pressed to think of a better place and as you can see, I travel often. This is a fantastic place to stay. Thanks Marija and Dominique!

Everything about this place is amazing, but the best part is the service which is 10-star. We arrived in the rain, and the owner, Marija, and her staff running out to greet us with umbrellas, they did so much for us during our stay - recommending and reserving restaurants, arranging for a private tour guide, etc.
It’s is located in the old city within easy walking distance to the palace and port. The advantage is that it is outside the place walls so you can easily get there by taxi or car. They have parking if you have a rental car
The breakfast is amazing - a full spread of fruits, meats, cheese, breads, pastries, fresh juice plus eggs to order in an elegant, cozy room with white tablecloths. We loved how they had containers of infused water available in a few places.
Our room was very large with all of the amenities. There is a small pool and outdoor seating area.
This is one very special place filled with love and laughter. Marija is an amazing hostess and her staff are super attentive. This is one of the best, most welcoming places we have ever stayed. And the price is right.

This really is an amazing boutique hotel, I travelled with my husband and two children and the hotel were extremely accommodating in making sure our rooms were close togther. On arrival (which was early morning) they had made sure our rooms were made up first so we could check in straight away which was great. Marija couldn't have been more helpful with all of her local advice and knowledge, recommending some fantastic restaurants and places to see - the hotel is a very short walk to the centre of old Split and the waterfront so brilliantly located. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful - they honestly can't do enough for you here. I never write reviews (I know I should) but this place deserves 10 out of 10 for everything - I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back!

This 10-room, terrifically well located, boutique hotel is an absolute treasure! Minutes from the harbor and Palace, everything about the Splendida Palace is 5 Star! First, the service we received from Marina and Mihaela was so far above and beyond , I can’t give them enough credit. They were warm, welcoming, positive, helpful, thoughtful and more.
The immaculate property is architecturally historic and magnificently restored. Our room, 2C, was comfortably sized with a wonderful balcony overlooking some of the beauty nearby. The decor is classic and tasteful. All rooms feature wall paper with different historical scenes. The bed was very comfortable. The separate twin comforters and 4 pillows were softly supportive. The mini fridge was ample. The in room tea and coffee were appreciated for our early mornings. Temperature control was excellent. The bathroom was appropriately sized, the provided products were great and resupplied without our asking. The shower water pressure is excellent with , seemingly, unlimited hot water. The bathroom also features radiant heated floors, a treat I’ve never experienced at any hotel…ever.
The excellent full breakfast was per order and served with smiles and warmth.
The Splendida Palace is nothing short of wonderful. If you appreciate boutique hotels with personalized service, I can’t imagine a superior property.
