In The Palace

The location of this apartment was amazing, only a few steps from one of the entrances of Diocletian’s palace. The size of the apartment was good for us 5, was clean, and had a washing machine that is important for us to travel light. The furniture and decoration were modest, but it was comfortable to stay there.

Not a nice place

Perfect central location for Old Town. Convenient shops and restaurants nearby. We knew from the booking and reviews to expect stairs, so were not at all surprised or disappointed, but this is not a place to stay for someone who struggles with stairs. However, because we were high up, we had GREAT views of the city from our stairs. Nightly concerts played music but not too late and closing windows effectively blocked sounds. A/C kept us comfortable all night. Overall great stay.

Fantastic apartment in perfect central location. Yes the view from the toilet seat is just as amazing as others have said.

This apartment is in a great location just a couple of minutes' walk from the main sites of Split which means you can get there early before the crowds. It also has a great little coffee stand downstairs and a bakery/supermarket close by for breakfast items. The apartment was very clean and well equipped and the hosts were attentive. As others have commented, there are lots of stairs up to the apartment, so this is not for anyone unprepared for that. The bedrooms are well proportioned, though the communal space is very small if you intend to spend much time indoors (we didn't except for one rainy afternoon) and there is no outside space, e.g. a balcony. The air conditioning was highly appreciated as it was very hot. The only downside for us was that it could be noisy sometimes which is probably to be expected so close to town. There was a large crowd in the apartment downstairs that partied into the night (Split is definitely a party town in August). And there was a nightly concert in the park next door which should have finished at 11pm each night but didn't always, and there was other music going until the early hours. As cars are not permitted in Split itself, there are drop-off points around the city for deliveries for restaurants etc, and one of these points is below the apartment. So, great apartment in superb location with friendly hosts, but take earplugs if going in high season and a light sleeper.

Excellent location. Cheap and cheerful. Functional. Clean. Squeaky uncomfortable beds and lots of stairs. Overall good value for money and a nice welcome

Our stay with In The Palace was so memorable. We couldn’t believe we would be staying in one of the palace towers!! The owner, Sanja, is very kind and accommodating. She is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet!! She made us feel like family and we felt welcomed the moment we meet her. She was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived and checked in with us later to make sure we had all we needed. We rented the entire apartment so it was incredibly spacious for the three of us. It’s so cute, clean and in a fantastic location with beautiful views of Split. The beds and linens are very comfortable, and the showers has ample room and water pressure. The apartment is just steps way from the Fish market, Green Market, grocery stores, along with restaurants, sights, shops and the ocean. We are looking forward to another stay with Sanja!!

It is very nice little place right on the corner of the Palace. Good walking distance to everything.

The owner was very friendly, helpful and flexible in getting us checked in. She provided a very clean home-away-from-home experience. There were 3 rooms with beds for 6 (plus the couch looked like it could hold 1-2). The location is fantastic - on the third floor in the NE corner of Diocletian's Palace. Wonderful!

We have nothing to complain about the Apartment In the Palace Split as it exceeded all our expectations and was good value. The owner Sanja was warm, hospitable and helpful. The apartment provided great easy walking access to all the sights of the Old Town (it is just a 1-min walk to the entrance of the East Gate), the markets, the Riva and to the ferry port where we could catch our catamaran ferry easily to Hvar Island. We also managed to take a leisurely 30-40 min walk from the apartment to Marjan Hills. We should mention that the apartment is at the top floor (in what was formerly the tower of the East Wall of Diocletian's Palace), so keep your luggage light as you have to lug them up a few flights of stairs!

The hotel is very well located, right in the city centre but not on the busiest street, which is great. The staff was really welcoming and helpful.

The location is amazing, the owner is amazing. Really takes care to ensure a smooth arrival, check-in and experience. Very clean apartment and shared washroom. We had a great view from our room. Everything in Split is walk able from here. Free shuttle bus to Mall of Split right down at the end of street market. Port, bus station and rail station all within a few minutes walk. The bonus... You get to stay alongside 1700years of Roman history!

The owner is really lovely. She welcomed us the day before we came out to Split, and was waiting in the apartment for us when we arrived with a lovely warm welcome. The apartment is spacious and just perfect for staying a few nights in Split (maybe even more). The Bathroom was clean and towels were laid out for us ready to go. The rooms were very clean and the location is amazing- right in the main square of split walking distance to everything. I would definitely recommend staying. Had a great time!

Staying in the 1700 years old building, yet in the reasonably renovated apartment, was a unique experience. More suitable for young and/or fit people, though: 86 steps up from the street level, weekend late night noise from the drinking parties in the nearby old town, small bathroom. Hotels located directly on the nearby boardwalk (Riva, 200 yards from this apartment) are not only expensive for the place like Split, but also subject to the same noise, and additional strange smells from the numerous nearby restaurants and the harbor. If you are in a good shape, and/or in a romantic mood, would highly recommend this place which is actually inside the old Roman Imperial palace, also beware that a common area of the building is very much like a decoration to the postwar Italian romantic movie.

This is a delightful and unusual apartment in one of the wall towers round Dioclesian's palace right in the heart of Split. Well equipped and spotless, and friendly owners arranged to meet us on arrival. We only stayed overnight as our flight got in too late for our ferry to Hvar. Split is spectacular and worth a much longer visit.

Perfect. I was looking for a place to crash at night that was clean and wouldn't break the bank, and I found it. Immaculately clean—it's an apartment, not a hotel—and perfectly located to take in the palace and old city. Parking's a bit crazy, but the proprietor (and her son) met me and guided me to a (paid) guarded parking area. I'm fit, so the stairs didn't bother me at all, and the views (I had the twin room) were spectacular, making the climb well worth it. There is no "service" in the apartment while you're there—again, an apartment, not a hotel—but Sanja provided her mobile number for any questions I might have (and responded promptly): for an independent, low-maintenance traveller like myself, it was amazing.

Perfect lokation!

good location, excellent service from owner

Had a large room within the apartment with air con- lovely welcome gift of a bottle of water and juice! Bathroom clean, couldn't believe the view from it! Right in the heart of split! Manager on time to drop off the keys! Only down side, if you are tall you will not fit in the shower (over 5"8)

Local, close by. Clean room, very friendly host Sanja. She was wonderful and very friendly and helpful. Only fault is that the shared home has 6 flights of stairs. Not ideal for travellers with 25kg bags.. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.
