Homestays in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia

My husband and I had a perfect stay here as part of our 20th anniversary trip. The property was charming and spotless, the room large and quiet, the shower wonderful, and breakfast in the garden patio was delicious. The owners and staff are kind and helpful. They arranged parking in a paid secure lot for us ahead of time and even met us there with the keycard. It was above and beyond what I expected. I appreciated the eco-nature of the hotel: automatic lights in the hallways and stairs as well as selecting breakfast options the night before so no food would be wasted. Our made-to-order food came out hot and delicious. Having the ability to truly control the room's temperature is often rare in our European travels, and was greatly appreciated. It makes such a difference for sleep. The pedestrian street is a quick walk that leads directly to the Silver Gate of Diocletian's palace. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

I visit Split 2/3 times a year and have now stayed with Starlight 4 times, twice in each of their 2 locations. I could not recommend them more. Wonderful location, friendly staff and I have never seen cleanliness of such a high standard. The rooms have all you need - WiFi, fridge, safe, shower gel, shampoo, multiple plug sockets, etc. I’ll be back in May next year and will definitely be choosing Starlight again. I have seen a few comments on here regarding stairs; unfortunately, the majority of places to stay in Split will have at least one flight of stairs to apartments/hotels - this is something to bear in mind if you are less mobile. The staff helped me on my first visit as I had a very large case - I would reach out if you require assistance as the Starlight team could not do enough for you.

The service attitude is very good and helps with luggage. The room is not big but clean. There is free coffee, tea and snacks available at any time. Breakfast was average.

Location is AMAZING! Walking distance to all the fun and action! Loved the opportunity to open the windows and have fresh air and look over the park/courtyard! THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND! We had a challenge with bedding and they fixed it IMMEDIATELY! MOST IMPORTANT, We had to leave at 4 am to catch our flight and absentmindedly left a fairly large sum of US dollars in the safe. I literally expected to write it off. However after 24 hours of flying I made the call to the hotel and they did everything to get me the cash back to me in a timely manner. I even told them to keep an amount for going out of their way to get it to me. Thank you Frane and all involved! They did not take it! Highly recommend staying here!

The owners were very rude. I was going to give a good review, even though we had some problems at first (breakfast was very poor, the toilet seat would not stay in position, inside the shower was the water heater, there was no one at the reception desk, only early in the morning and many many more). The worst thing happened as we were leaving. We weren't told that we had to pay in cash and we didn't have any. For 1 hour and a half my husband wondered around looking for an ATM machine to get cash. I told them to charge my credit card through the website and the refused and the lady told me (with the few English words that she knew) that it was my problem, not hers. They even refused that if we canceled the reservation, they would charge my credit card, even after I showed them the website that said it clearly. They simply didn't want to help us at all. They just sat there, staring at us, waiting for us to come up with a solution. Eventually we did, but we should we? It was the day that we were leaving Croatia, we had a very long day ahead of us, why should we exhaust ourselves over someone who does not care about their customers? I repeat, my husband was wondering around for 1 and a half hour guys. They could have told us earlier but they didn't. They responded to my comment that they threatened us to call the police because we didn't want to pay. That's a big fat lie. I was talking to the owner's son because she doesn't speak English. I don't know if he never translated that, but we were never threatened, simply because we wanted to pay. Even if we left without paying, they could charge my credit card. We wanted to pay, but they should have told us that we had to pay in cash at least a day earlier. But how would they do that, since NOBODY was working? NOBODY was at the reception. Way too expensive accommodation for what they are offering and very rude owners.

Very good location, on the 14th floor of an office building, within 15 minutes walk from the train station, bus station, pier, and ancient city, the room is very spacious and clean, the view is very good (second killing the level of the observation deck). But the problem is that the contact information of the hotel on Trip.com is wrong (it is the phone number of other companies under Luxury, not this store), and the hotel has no front desk. It took me a long time to contact the hotel for accommodation. Figure 3 in the comments is the correct call

This was a very good choice. We were just here for one night. We chose the apartment as there were three of us and we really wanted 2 separate rooms. This place was perfect for us. It was a really high quality modern apartment, clean, spacious, with a nice view and a bit of a terrace. Although we didn’t do any cooking, we sure appreciated the refrigerator. I was on the pull-out sofa bed.. and the mattress on that could have been better.. maybe provide a topper? The staff where excellent, friendly and very accommodating. We arrived far too early for check-in but were able to leave our bags there and go explore. We still had an early check-in and also a delayed check-out (due to 2 of my party just not waking up in time). Thanks for the flexibility! This is a really good location from where to explore Split.

Piano suites is a nice, small-scale 'hotel' (a closed corridor with 4 rooms in an apartment building). The manager is always available if there are problems. Our room was clean, cleaning is done once a week and then the towels and sheets are also replaced. Room and bathroom are quite small but everything you need is there. The location of the hotel is central, about a 5-10 minute walk to the center. Breakfast takes place in another hotel, which is a short 10-minute walk away. The breakfast itself is mediocre. All things considered, this hotel is highly recommended.

This came very close to being a 5-star review, but there are one or two rough edges that pulled the score down to 4-star The location is excellent. Being close to the centre of the old town of Trogir, but at the same time being close enough to the walls to mean not dragging luggage too far. We elected for the apartment with roof terrace, and it was a perfect choice for us. Views across the roofs of Trogir from every window - and our own private roof terrace with views to the west and the sunsets As the weather was changing while we were there, we were also grateful for the air conditioning that also had a heat setting! We'd paid extra for breakfast, but hadn't realised that this was actually provided in a separate building - a cafe owned by the same company I think, Unfortunately they did not start serving breakfast until 9am, which was far too late for the days we wanted to be out sightseeing. We ended up not using the breakfasts we'd paid for - in future we would put that money towards stocking up the kitchen. We knew that the apartment was up in the roof, but weren't quite expecting the ceilings to be so low in half the bedroom and half the kitchen. If you are above average height you will really struggle The directions for the local parking and the meeting point were very clear (unlike what some other reviewers have said) BUT our arrival was marred by the fact that despite giving them clear notification of when we would arrive, they had some other guests to deal with at the last minute. With the result that we were waiting for over 20 minutes at the door of the property for someone to attend to us. Didn't really make us feel like valued guests to start with, although the staff we did deal with were unfailingly polite and helpful. It was just a pity that the stay started badly On the subject of parking, it's OK to park close by to unload luggage, but as Villa Meri say, it's too expensive for longer term parking. They did give us a choice of parking places, and we went for the cheapest option - which was a 10 minute walk (unfortunately the shortcut pedestrian bridge was closed - that would have made it much more convenient). But as we didn't need our car every day, this wasn't a big deal Trogir is full of wonderful places to eat, one of the Top 3 is literally just around the corner - Konoba Fortin We would definitely stay here again

Great hotel right in the center of town. Close to everything. Ivan met us in the parking lot and guided us to the hotel when we arrived. We stayed in one of the third floor rooms with a kitchenette and had the kids on the floor below in a smaller room with 2 twin beds, which worked out very well. The AC was great and the beds were the most comfortable we had on our trip. Ivan gave us great restaurant recommendations, tips for getting to Split, and other great ideas for day trips. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.
