So, you decided to check out Croatia this year? Small country in the southeast corner of Europe, with the cleanest sea, thousand islands scattered across the horizon, great sunsets, great food and wine and friendly people everybody was telling you about?So, it is decided. All you need now is a place to stay. Place where you can feel at home, from which you can go up and down the coast as you like and then come back to cool down within thick walls of an ancient Roman city.Why don't you try the second best hostel in the world? Leaning on a thick wall of palace it used to be a warehouse in the 16th century. At some point it's interior space was converted to a shopping mall and that is when we decided to make it into a hostel...

On arrival our room was not ready. When we were shown to our room the sheets on my bed were dirty. The top bunk was almost impossible to gain access to. The WiFi did not work. The reception was dirty with a woman’s thong left in the corner. I would not recommend this hostel.

Issue no 1: Check in was meant to be 2pm but when we arrived they told us our beds would not be ready until 4 pm. We were told we could put our stuff on our beds and in our rooms and that when we returned at 4 pm our room would be clean and our beds would have sheets/towels etc. when we returned at 4 pm our beds were still not ready and we were told that they would not be ready until 7pm, 5 hours after our original check in time. Issue no2: When we returned at 4pm all of the stuff that we had left on our beds had been taken, including valuables such as hairdryers and toiletries. When we inquired at reception staff were very unhelpful and we sat there for half an hour while staff “looked for our stuff” which they did not do. Eventually a very helpful girl went to lost and found and retrieved most of our stuff. Not everything was brought back. Issue no 3: Eventually when our room was ready it had been overbooked. I returned to a room which had no bed free or no locker for me to put my stuff in. When I went to reception to explain that the room I had booked and paid for had no bed or locker for me the receptionist (the same staff member who did not help us find our missing items ) simply replied “What’s the Problem…… ?”. Eventually another member of staff brought me to the room and moved two people to a different room and unlocked my locker so that I had somewhere to put my stuff and a bed to sleep. Issue no 4: The hostel was messy and unclean. Beds were extremely uncomfortable and rooms were very small. Top bunks we’re extremely hard to get in and out of. We had to carry one of our friends out of her top bunk every time she needed to get out. Overall, very poor experience in this hostel. There was no kitchen. The pictures on hostel world were completely inaccurate. There is no common area so hard to make friends like in other hostels. We did not feel safe or comfortable. Staff were rude and unhelpful and totally unapologetic for the many inconveniences that we had experienced. Honestly could not recommend this hostel less. And it was as expensive if not more than other hostels we had stayed in that were a dream compared to this one…

3rd floor is apartmenr for 3 persons, 2 persons have bottom double bed and 3rd one have bank upper bed, that one is not comfort at all, very tight and not enough fresh air. Missing fridge in room, missing some drawer to store a clothes, basically very naked, generally modern and cozy but missing something to be complete. Locatiin is perfect in the center of the town....cheap and affordable.

A modern funky hostel. The place looks cool but the design of the room has some functional issue. Pros: Centrally located, right in the heart of old town, just a couple blocks from Diocletian's Palace. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Cons: It is very hard to get up and especially to get down from the top bunk. I'm a rock climber and still find it very awkward to get up and down. The room is a essentially a very narrow hallway, it can be claustrophobic to some people. The four of us stayed in a 6-person dorm, still felt very crowded. Very little space to store personal belongings. No hooks to hang towels and/or jackets. No temperature control inside the room. You have to ask the front desk to turn on/off AC. The shower floods the hallway. If you have a rental car you need to walk about 15min to free parking.…

This hostel is fine. I was in a dorm room with (I think) 6 beds - the beds are built into the wall, each with their own shelf, light and power outlet. They have more of a feel of a basic Japanese capsule hotel, where everyone is in their private little box. It cuts down a bit on camaraderie but definitely offers more privacy than the typical “room of bunk beds” hostel dorm. Towels were provided. The dorm room had its own toilet, shower and sink. There were also lockers for each person (lock included)but the upper lockers seemed high to me - if you’re not a tall person, I suggest requesting a lower bunk (which comes with a lower locker). No kitchen or lounge area but there is a restaurant downstairs. And there is an elevator. The hostel is close to Split’s major historic attractions, as well as the ferry port and the day-excursion boats.…

I stayed in this hostel for 2 nights by myself. I was in a large room (10 people from memory) and was not a fan. I was placed on a top bunk that was extremely awkward to climb up to. My assigned locker was also up high and really hard to use. I could not reach it probably to maximise its use. This mean to could not store my stuff in it. There wasn’t any other room to place my stuff so I ended up sleeping with it at the end of my already small bed - made for very uncomfortable sleeping. Also not a fan of the neon yellow walls everywhere. Just a bit much. The location was great, but hostel very basic. Not much atmosphere with the exception of the restaurant downstairs.

I wasn't at this large hostel very long, getting there in the evening and leaving early morning, but it was clean and very central. I was able to leave my bag in luggage room before check in. This is a modern hostel with bright colours and a space age feel to it. I was in a mixed dorm, with the guy making sure he put me into a bottom bunk (as were the other girls in my room), even without me asking. Each bunk has a curtain, shelf, plug socket and light. There was a separate toilet and shower in the room, as well as a sink in the main part of the room. There was no kitchen or other communal areas, instead there's a cafe bar downstairs, which has a couple of guys on guitars playing covers a few nights a week. The hostel is in the old town, where bars have to close overnight 1am. The overnight staff dealt 3 times with the same group of boys who came back very drunk, trying to bring non-guests back to their room to carry on the party. Luck of the drawer in a hostel in a party town. …
