Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence (Split, Croatia)

You won't find better views of Split's blue waters, soaring peaks, and historical structures than from the balconies and rooftops of this hotel. You can relax with an evening drink or enjoy a swim on the rooftop, taking advantage of a stunning pool and terrace layout.

Regardless of which room size you book, you'll be treated to a bed that's fit for royalty. The bed dimensions are generous by most standards, and are fitted with upscale sheets and blankets to heighten your sense of comfort.

The staff members do an excellent job of attending to the state of the building and its furnishings. Tile surfaces (especially in the bathroom) are kept spotless, and supplies such as soaps, conditioner, and tea are always fully stocked during your stay.

Considering the luxury presentation of the hotel, some of its breakfast dishes and beverages fall short of expectations. The self-serve coffee setup feels cheap by comparison, and some days feature a limited array of hot dishes.

Because the property is a moderate walk from the old town centre, you might find it too tiring to explore the city over the course of one or two days without the use of cabs or buses. Additionally, many of the surrounding streets feature angled surfaces that are exhausting to navigate.

If you have challenges with mobility or are dependent on a wheelchair, be sure to inform the hotel well in advance and ask for special accommodations. There's a shortage of ramps, lift room, and general aid for those with disabilities.
