About

Authentic Luxury Rooms

Authentic Luxury Rooms is a 4-star property with just seven rooms, set in a restored old stone building in the heart of Split. The location puts Diocletian's Palace and the harbour within easy walking distance, while the surrounding streets stay quiet enough for a restful night.

Guests consistently highlight the welcoming owners and staff, who go out of their way to help — from airport pickups to recovering lost luggage. Rooms are praised for their comfort, soundproofing, and effective air conditioning. Breakfast is served with a mix of continental meats and hot options, and the property offers practical extras like luggage storage, tours, and a paid airport shuttle.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Outstanding location — A short walk from Diocletian's Palace, the old town, harbour, and bus and train stations, yet tucked away in a quiet spot.
  • Exceptional staff — Owners Marco and Ivana are repeatedly praised for warm welcomes, helpfulness, and going the extra mile — from meet-and-greet pickups to assisting with lost luggage.
  • Authentic, comfortable rooms — Guests love the restored stone building, spacious and clean rooms, great air conditioning, and modern bathrooms, some with jacuzzi tubs.
  • Good breakfast and dining options — Breakfast includes continental meats and hot dishes, and the central location puts acclaimed seafood spots like Konoba Lucac and Tapas Toc within walking distance.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small hotel, limited facilities — With just seven rooms, there's no full-service restaurant, gym, or spa on site — dining is mostly at breakfast or outside.
  • Parking may be tricky — Parking is available, but the central old-town location is not always easy to navigate by car — some guests found the property a little tricky to locate at first.
  • Comfort rating lower than other categories — While rooms are clean and comfortable, the comfort score (7.5) suggests that some guests found beds or soundproofing less stellar than other aspects.
