Not a hotel i would recommend
Wouldnt recommend this hotel. We lost 450 euro in the hotel. They promised to check their cameras and call us back which they never did. Broken airco in the room. They dont clean the rooms, they just give new towels. Very bad breakfast.

Property was newly rennovated and very comfortable to stay in. It is in a great quiet location right in between split city center and Trogir, about 15 -20 minutes drive from both. There is a lovely waterfront beach right across the street. The staff were very friendly and helpful in accommodating all of our needs, the breakfast that wasn't included was also very enjoyable and included a wide variety of food and drinks. Small suggestion is just for there to be an extra garbage can in the room outside of the washroom.

The hotel was very cute and clean. It is just steps from the beach but not in the touristy part of town. We booked that hotel for our last night there solely for the proximity to the airport, an 11min drive. It was also a plus that they had a few restaurant choices within walking distance.

Amazing location, had some issues with the A/C which were fixed by staff after a couple hours and hot water took a long time to warm up but otherwise was a nice and comfortable stay with friendly service.
