Guesthouse Imperator

100% recommend this awesome property! The old part of Split is definitely a walking town. I contacted my host Marina the day before we arrived and her son Thomas met us the property. What a friendly and knowledgable young man! Our room was beautiful clean, with a small fridge, coffee, pot and kettle. The beds are extremely comfortable, bathroom was spotless and you couldn’t be the location! Staying right outside of Diocletian’s palace was perfect! We walked everywhere, and thoroughly enjoyed a walking tour of the city. When you come from Canada, it’s awesome to experience hundreds of year old culture and traditions. And the Croatian food is absolutely delicious, so is the wine! Our host was excellent with information on transportation back to the airport as well.

The building itself was unique. Very old house. To reach the front door you had to climb several steps. I was at the 3rd floor, so inside climbing 3 more flights of stairs to then enter a very spacious clean room beneath the roof. The small kitchen had everything you need if you want to prepare a meal. Very clean bathroom , with roomy shower and rain oder normal shower possibility. I always sleep with ear plugs, so no problem for me. But to both sides there are restaurants. Which makes it very noisy till later in the evening, if you are an early sleeper. The restaurant Kuzina on one side I tried. Excellent food! And very convenient. You walk out the door and you are on the terras of the restaurant. Shortest walk ever for me to a restaurant. The guesthouse is in the middle of the old town and everything is in walking distance. I had a great time. Little disadvantage, when you are in a wheelchair, you cannot stay at this guesthouse. The is no lift. Also for people who have problems walking stairs, I cannot recommend it. Otherwise, I immediately would stay there again 😃

Fantastic location, spacious, comfy Would definitely rebook this place if I came back to Split again. The check-in and check-out were easy. The location is unbeatable. The bed was comfy and the room and the shower were quite spacious. Great value for money too. AC works great, was actually able to keep it on during the night without getting sick. The only downside is that the soundproofing isn't great, but I suppose that is the case in most buildings in the Old Town section.

This is right in the heart of town, minutes from everything. That has its plusses and minuses. It is great for convenience, but it tended to be noisy at night. The streets are all very narrow, so I was awakened several times by people walking down the street in the middle of the night yelling to their friends. That is probably true of any place in the center of town, though. Also, part of that was my fault, because I failed to notice there was an A/C unit, so I kept the windows opened. (Turned out it wasn't working anyway, but if I had noticed in time, my host probably would have rectified that.) My other concern was that it was very hard to find. That was aggravated by the fact that there was a large concert taking place in the main plaza very near the location. GPS led me in circles around the town, trying to navigate with heavy luggage and large crowds. I finally contacted the owner, Marina, who was very kind and asked me to take a picture of my location. She came out to find me and guide me the final block or two. She was also very helpful with other questions that I had. The room was well equipped and the bed very comfortable, and I loved the rustic look of the original stone walls. Once I had gotten there, I loved that I could step out of my room, walk a block or two and watch a free concert or get a bite to eat. So, with those caveats about possible noise, I would recommend Guesthouse Imperator and its host, Marina.

Excellent reception. Everything was perfect, the location we could not get better close to the promenade, good restaurants the ambiance around was vibrant.

Thomas was amazing, he explained everything to us. It is a bit older and lots of stairs but inside it has been quite refreshed and quaint. It was perfect location wise and exactly what we needed for our stay.
