Hotel Globo

Nice big room and clean..

Stayed 2 nights as part of a group tour. Had a top floor room which was spacious; twin beds, two chairs, a desk, mini bar/fridge and plenty of space to move around and to put our luggage. Big windows looking out towards the mountains let us keep a close eye on when the rain stopped! Bathroom had a bath with shower over, but bathtub was not full length and was very high to step into. Bit of a worry if we'd slip when getting out (and we're only in our 30s) so would question practicality for some guests. Others in our group had single rooms and were in the basement with limited light so seems can be quite variable experience. Hotel is not in Split tourist centre- it's around 15mins walk to the Diocletian palace or waterfront. Fairly straightforward navigation but do take a (free) map from reception. Breakfast was awkward. There weren't nearly enough tables or space for the number of rooms and not enough staff to clear tables quickly or replenish items as they ran out. Seemed popular with groups so if a whole group comes at same time there's no space for anyone else to sit. When all items were stocked there was enough choice of food to find something but quite limited for each option. Glad we did not stay longer as would have become very repetitive.

Went for 2 nights on a Rick Steves tour. It's an older hotel a bit far from the old town. The bathtub is unusually tall and very slick. Take note that it is common in Split to smoke in restaurants... we tried a local pizza place (so we didn't have to walk back down to the touristy area again) and as the restaurant filled up everyone lit up. Rick might want to check out other hotels in this (wonderful) town which caters to tourists. There is a nice drop off laundry close to the taxi round-about at the Riva. They were able to accommodate my scent-free and no-softener request: "just like we do for the baby clothes".
