8/10 Very good

Lovely room, nicely renovated and in a convenient location for sightseeing, shopping and food. Road cyclists, however, should NOT stay here as it’s difficult to get to and inconvenient for riding.

8/10 Very good

Very lovely room and a fantastic setting. Tricky to find but the 2 min video that was provided was excellent. Only disappointment was the shower / water. Ran cold for the first day or so and we never felt like we could shower with any confidence for more than a few mins. Not great for the cost of the property.

It’s bit challenging to get to at first but almost any property in the old city would be for someone just getting there. Once you figure it out, the property is extremely located. Super clean, brand new, well appointed self service apartment.

The Grand Palace was a lovely place to stay. Super close to the centre and quiet enough to not be disturbed by the nightlife. The space fulfilled all our needs and loved how comfortable everything was. The host, Josep, was extremely accommodating and easily contactable. Lots of information provided by Josep about where to eat, visit and get the most out of Split. Great location, high comfort and a complete experience living within the Diocletian Palace!

You cannot beat this location in Old Split. The Palace is in itself a thriving center with residents, shops, and great food, yet also a distinct part of ancient history and an architectural wonder. The room was quiet and comfortable and the AC was welcome on the hot days. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful room, large, roomy, clean with a kitchen and amazing view over the harbor and over the old town. It was the only place out of four we stayed in Croatia that had an elevator! I’m partial to hotels that have staff, this was a room and the handoff process seemed rushed and cash only for the city taxes. The unit needed a cutting board and the coffee pods tasted old. Out the harbor side window lies a bar, we could hear their house vibes going into the morning hours.

The property has been professionally renovated that has the amenities and comfort of a luxury hotel, and much more. The kitchen was well supplied, and I loved the murals of old Split on the wall.

Perfect location. The only thing I'd add is a roll of paper towels to the kitchen area.

Room was ideal for access to Diolcletian's Palace, obviously, and the room itself was very clean and comfortable. Quieter than expected. Our point of contact was very helpful. Would highly recommend.

The location was amazing in a newly renovated space. It was wonderful to be in the heart of the area and within the palace walls. The building is almost finished being completed updated and we were the first to stay in one of the renovated apartments.

8/10 Very good

My husband and I spent three nights at Tale of the Sea, which is literally part of the walls of Diocletian’s Palace. I loved the location; everything was in walking distance and easy to get to. Since the windows face the Riva, which is the esplanade separating the palace and Old Town from the harbor, it could be somewhat loud (there is a club across the street that had a thumping bass going on until 11 or 12 on one of the nights), but I will say that the stone walls are thick and if the windows are latched closed, the sounds of the main drag were barely discernible. The homes immediately adjacent to the building are not as well kept as the inn. There was unfortunately no communication about check-in procedures even though I had responded promptly to their request for our arrival time, When we arrived at the stated time, there was some confusion as there was no one to meet us and we didn’t have a way to get in, so had to call for the codes. The room is lovely albeit small, which wasn’t an issue, since we were always out exploring the town. A note about location- I personally loved being inside the palace walls but would caution anyone who isn’t great with stairs- and LOTS of them- that it might not be for you. You have to carry your luggage up and down many flights of ancient limestone steps to get in and out and also use them to get anywhere and everywhere within the walls, so you might be more comfortable outside if mobility is a concern.
