This was a fabulous property with a great view of the harbor and the Riv. Thoma greeted us and provided awesome recommendations for our stay. I highly recommend the Grand Palace Luxury Retreat for your stay in Split!
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.
The property is in the best location & everything around the area is easily accessible. One of the staff member met me at the pickup location to helpe with my bags & check in.
Great property that I will hopefully get to stay again one day. Really good location and walkable to everything in central Split. The room was really nice and the hotel team were so helpful and friendly. Great communication and even sent through recommendations for Split. Highly recommend to stay here if you can.
Staff and service was great! We were greeted by the staff even though we got to the property late and were guided through our stay

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.
Loved this property - the room, the view and location. I would suggest setting a specific meeting point with the host as it is not easy to find.
Especially impressed with the decor and the washroom.
Above expectations. Best location, amazing apartment with city view everything you need with a stone throw away. Basically staying in a palace with history all around. I will definitely be back and stay here again.
host was very helpful and met us at taxi drop off area to show us how to get to property. He had sent a video for us, but we were a little confused so it was very nice of him to meet us! The room was beautiful and clean! Beautiful sea view from 2 windows that open. Bed was very comfortable, AC worked great, and room was quiet. Location was perfect and close to everything! Would definitely stay there again for next trip to Split!
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.
This was an amazing property that took a little bit of fun to get to well worth it. We felt like we were the luckiest people in all of split with the view and our beautiful accommodations that was spotless and well decorated location with superb.
We were pleasantly surprised this beautiful apartment is exactly as advertised with stunning views and inside the Palace walls! Toma met us there for check in, he helped with luggage and our questions. Just used what’s app for easy communication. Highly recommend this beautiful apartment!
Such a beautiful room!! The view was amazing, never got old and the location is unbelievable! Perfect location to walk and see everything, we were able to stop into our room just to rest whenever, very ideal! You can tell it’s newly renovated property, so nice! Staff were very nice and very responsive, they made it so easy to find the property! Definitely will be booking this for next time! Loved!! :))
I LOVED this apartment. It is beautifully updated- looks straignt from HGTV! The kitchen was modern, the floors were gorgeous, and the stone wall/exposed beams in the ceiling made it look so authentic to the area. Only one caution is that you have to go up LOTS of stairs to get to the apt and the area feels a bit scary but is fine once you get in the building. Bed is very firm. Highly recommend. So convenient.
right in the middle of old town and place, busy, loud, no parking options.
I don't know why they supply a coffee maker when there is no coffee supply. I suppose they want the guest to bring their own coffee.
