  • An Amazing Small Hotel in the Old Town

    “We had recently spent two wonderful nights at the Hotel Vestibule Palace, in the main building. We arrived by car and waited for the staff at the car park. We contacted the hotel via WhatsApp, which was handy. For a first time visitor it is advisable to wait for the hotel staff to guide you than trying to find your own way. There are a lot of stairs to navigate and the hotel itself does not have a lift. It is therefore important to be aware of this fact so as not to be disappointed. Our room was located on the second floor. The room itself is a little small but comfortable, well decorated and comes with all the usual amenities. Breakfast was excellent. The food was served in a three tier tray, like in a high tea. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They managed to help me find a tour guide at short notice and recommended restaurants in the area, which we found to be great choices. Overall the location of Hotel Vestibule Palace was excellent and the staff were amazing. As long as you have no trouble with the stairs this is a perfect place to stay in Split.”

    “The Hotel Vestibul Palace is part of the Hilton LSH small botique collection. It has 7 rooms with 4 more in a an annex a few meters away (try to stay in the main hotel, (not annex). I can honestly say that we have never had a nicer and friendlier staff than at the Vestibul. Gettint to the hotel is a bit tricky if you do not know Split. We happened to arrive in the pouring down rain which did not help. Instructions were to contact the staff through Whats App once we entered the main parking lot of the old town, but ours was not working so we were forced to find the hotel on our own. A few twists and turns and directions from a tour guide got us there. The manager quickly arranged for someone to see to our car and to bring our luggage to the hotel. While we were waiting he offered us 2 cold glass of bubbly which tasted great after a challenging drive in the rain from Korcula. An upgrade was available for the 1st night of our 2 night stay and we gladly accepted. The upgrade was to the junior suite. The following night we were in the classic room we had originally reserved. My recommendation, if you can afford it, is to book the junior suite from the beginning. Both rooms were very nice but the junior suite gives you more moving around space and is more comfortable. The manager (Ivan) gave us a quick, but thorough overview of Split including a map of the town. We ate dinner at the hotel's Magnus Restaurant and the food and wine were excellent. The hotel was located right next to the Vestibul. If you get up and out around 7:30 or so you can take wonderful pictures while the Vestibul and Plaza are totally empty. In a short time both will be filled with hundreds of people. Obviously, the location of the hotel is a real plus..located in the middle of the Palace and easy to come back to if you need to put your feet up for a while. We had breakfast in the courtyard with all sorts of items available and food cooked to order. If you're looking for a great hotel with fantastic staff this is the place. We hated to leave.”

    “I cant say enough great things about this hotel staff. Steven (sp?) and Ivan in particular were so wonderful. We had some issues with our booking (our fault not the hotel's) and Steven went out of his way to support us offering professional and personal insights. He also checked on us to make sure everything went well. Ivan also went above and beyond to provide solutions and support and personalized service. Also both men were so nice and funny and knowledgeable. Very interesting and intelligent gentleman. Had a great time chatting with them. The hotel itself is lovely and worth the extra effort to access. However because of its location inside the palace walls be sure to coordinate your arrival and departure with the staff.”

    “The hotel is well-located near Diocletian's Vestibule in the heart of the old town. The staff was warm and friendly, and very helpful. We had to depart early in the morning, and they offered to pack a breakfast bag for us. They also provided us with directions to our destination. We loved our room, which was bright and airy. The breakfasts were delicious. We would highly recommend staying there.”

    “A beautiful property in the heart of the old Roman city. Staff were especially kind and helpful. The room was spacious and extremely comfortable with room clean daily. The breakfast was excellent and more than than ample to fill for the whole day. A truly wonderful experience for our 25th wedding anniversary trip. ”

    “The manager called as we were driving from the airport and talked to our driver to make sure that we were dropped off at the right place. He then walked us through the old town to where we were staying, explaining the history and how to find the other hotel building. Our room itself was excellent - good air conditioning, a very comfortable bed and a warm, powerful shower. The hotel breakfasts were anazing - a lovely platter of fruit and cheese and a wide menu to choose from. Thank you - a great stay in a lovely city. ”

    “Had the best 4 night stay here. The service was exceptional. Steven and Ivan helped ensure I had the best time in Split. From anticipating my arrival (and helping me with my luggage), assisting me with booking a private boat tour, dinner reservations, and more, they delivered top notch service. I felt so comfortable and welcomed. Location can’t be beat next to the vestibule. The main hotel is beautiful and room was very comfortable. I spent two of the four nights in the Villa. I liked the more quiet location, but felt like the room quality was not the same as the main hotel. The price difference properly reflected this, so I thought it was fair. Highly recommend Hotel Vestibul Palace for your visit to Split!”

    “There are not many, if any, places in the world where you can stay in a hotel, built into a Roman palace constructed in 305 AD. This is a UNESCO certified sight. This alone makes it a bucket list hotel. The staff were unbelievably friendly, welcoming, never said no to any requests. Eleven rooms total, so you are just a number here. You will be Treated liked royalty. They even have a licensed guide on staff that you can hire when he finishes his shift. His name is Tonchi, and he can give you the entire history of the area, the culture, the conquests of the area dating back to the time of Christ. He’s also the manager of food service, and the food is wonderful If you are looking for a regular sized, been there, done that hotel room, go to a Hilton. If you want to experience a piece of history, pack your bags. ”
