Accommodation in Split

Deciding between different types of accommodation in Split can be difficult so we advise you to always decide in advance considering the accommodation type that will meet your needs during your vacation in Split.

Lets take a look at different types of accommodation in Split you can choose from.

ACCOMMODATION IN SPLIT: FROM LUXURY TO BUDGET ACCOMMODATION

Peristil (Emperor Square) in Split

Split’s compilation of accommodation is growing every season and long gone are the days of giant hotel complexes which have been replaced with boutique accommodation that bring you much closer to local life. In fact, although Split may be Croatia’s second biggest city and the country’s tourism capital, it is home to only two international hotel chains.

As visitors are increasingly in search for authenticity, boutique hotels, private rooms and apartments, as well as a growing number of hostels have popped up about town, promising comfort with local flair.

We have rounded up a selection of accommodation in Split that give you value for your buck and a little oomph of class to go with it.

BUDGET ACCOMMODATION

Chatedral of St. Dujam

Budget accommodation doesn’t need to translate into socialist interiors and below average service. There are design hostels out there and although they require sharing a room, they do come with ‘privacy settings’ as well as rooms and apartments with an attractive price tag.

Emanuel Hostel (Tolstojeva 20; +385(0)21 786 533) is a newly conceived design gem in the Manuš neighbourhood, a 10-minute walk from Diocletian’s Palace. Tucked into the ground floor of a charming apartment building, Emanuel has a 10-bunk dorm and a 3-bunk room. Run by the friendly Radan family, Emanuel sports wall decals of Split’s streets, retro furniture and colourful private bunks, each with a curtain, power-plug and a reading light.

Another design hostel is Goli+Bosi (Morpurgovo Poljana 2; +385 (0)21 510 999) located in the heart of old town. Taking up an old department store spanning three floors, this bright yellow hostel has 29 dorms, with a few private rooms in the mix. On the bottom floor is a fully-fledged bar serving breakfast and knocking out cowboy burgers all day long.

Alternatively you can rent a private room like Guesthouse Skipper Room (Rokova 4), a snug and modern room with double bed, sofa, and minibar in the backstreets of the charming Radunica naighborhood…or what about renting the extra double room in Mira’s apartment near Bačvice beach?
