Hitta 4-stjärniga hotell i Split

This is an intimate 5-room establishment situated amidst the alleys of the Old Town, hence cars cannot drop passengers at the doorstep. Easy enough to catch a shuttle bus for EUR 8 from the airport to the bus station at the port, from which a Makarun staff will meet you and assist you with your luggage to the hotel, a 10-minute walk away. Breakfast is a la carte, as is to be expected for such a small establishment, comprising 3 courses - pastry/toast, eggs of your choice with cold cuts, and a dessert, complemented by tea coffee and/or juice. Food was more than adequate in terms of quantity and quality. My room was comfortable enough, though 2 issues were noticeable: * Instead of a flat cotton bed sheet, there was a fitted sheet made of what seemed like jersey, and looked more like a mattress protector.This was pilled and coarse, in contrast to the far smoother cotton quilt cover. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they explained that this is standard for the hotel. Whilst it did not affect the quality of my sleep, the coarseness of the sheet wasn't entirely pleasant * In the bathroom, the shower was mounted at waist height, hence one either had to hold the shower in one hand, or, if there was a need to use both hands to wash, then one would have to crouch under the shower while it was in its holder. Not particularly convenient. Overall a comfortable stay in a convenient location, enhanced by the friendly and solicitous Ivan and Mario.

This was a rushed booking due to our original hotel not having our booking. Normally I spend considerable time going through reviews etc, but with the Azur Palace (hotel?) it was a case of needs must. Unfortunately although we had booked a deluxe double in our opinion it didn’t match similar 4 star hotel deluxe rooms. I mentioned this to reception but they weren’t really interested. Appreciate we were virtually in the centre of split, with space at a premium, but the view of a small alley with graffiti an empty minibar, not even plugged in, an irritating dim light, I think from the a/c that ensured the room wasn’t completely dark. After trying to close it down without success I went to reception, which had a note with a phone number to call. I gave up went back to the room and tried throwing a towel over it. Also no bar, although there are a few within couple of minutes. Overall disappointing.

Pro - very close to the Golden Gate and is easy to find. Check in is straightforward. The room is on the first floor above ground so it wasn't the most difficult thing to lift our luggages up. Con - (1) the actual room looks nothing like the pictures online. The online pictures (taken with wide lens mode) show the room to be much larger and brighter, whereas the room is in fact very small and relatively poorly lit. For one, the bed is literally two footsteps away from the door, and we were struggling to find space to open our luggages. (2) One of the beds in the room is in fact a sofa bed, but the property did not declare this when we booked. We spent a lot of time trying to book places which do not use sofa beds but actual beds, and so we can't help but feel that we were misled and misrepresented to. (3) There is a bit of noise. The property is right next to the road and near a pub with some rowdy youths at times. (4) Facilities are minimal. There is only one chair, and the table is very small. Everything else is basic. Nothing luxurious about it despite its name and the photos. (5) There is no lift at the property. We would not have chosen this property if we had a second chance.

I extended my stay with 2 more nights because the location of the hotel is perfect for my group. The common spaces are spacious and so are the rooms. But we got a room right next to the lift and the room had a door with the room next door. Because of that, the noise from the neighbors during the last night was pretty disturbing! And again, the breakfast is somehow disappointing for an hotel from that level. We stayed in a smaller 4 star hotel at the beginning of our stay in Split and the breakfast was much nicer and so was the cappuccino.

Miljön är vanlig.

Bra läge, utsikten var fantastisk och rummet var rent och fina möbler! - Personalen var väldigt frånvarande och man behöver en nyckel för att komma in på hotellet och in på rummet. Vi glömde vår nyckel i vårt rum och insåg efter middagen runt 23.00 och trots att personalen borde vara på hotellet till 03.00: ingen var där. Vi var tvungna att kontakta oss via telefon men eftersom vi är kanadensare hade vi ingen fungerande telefon. Vi höll nästan på att sova utomhus. Vi fick hjälp av grannrestaurangen. - Personalen skulle börja om igen klockan 07.00; vi gick därifrån klockan 08.00 utan att checka ut eftersom det återigen inte fanns någon. - Min dotters EarPods blev stulna i vårt rum. Vi kunde hitta dem med Apple-appen och se exakt var de var. Återigen fanns ingen personal alls på hotellet som kunde berätta för dem att städpersonalen hade stal dem. (Vi är 100 % SÄKRA på att de var stulna eftersom de inte lämnade rummet, vi tog aldrig med oss elektronik någonstans och platsen de var på låg 7 km från hotellet där vi aldrig hade varit.) - De erbjuder ångstrykningstjänst, jag ville använda den men de sa att det tog en vecka att få tillbaka mina kläder... vi var där i fyra dagar. Personalen erbjöd sig att ta med en ångstrykningsmaskin till mitt rum så att jag kunde göra det själv. De tog aldrig med den... - Det fanns en vacker terrass på fjärde våningen men vi fick reda på det bara vår sista kväll. - Vi ville gå till en strand och personalen sa att det var en 45 minuters promenad och att det var enda sättet att gå. Vi gick. Till slut när vi kom dit... kunde vi ta en kundvagn för 3 euro.... Vi tog den för att komma tillbaka. -
