Had an excellent stay here. Malena was very helpful and even made some lemonade for me. The location is very central and the rooms are clean. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially solo travellers, but please keep in mind that it’s on the third floor and there isn’t and elevator because it is an old building. :)

Lovely, kind host, gave us fresh lemonade and melon on arrival on the beautiful terrace. Stayed here for two nights either side of our trip and both rooms were clean, cool and quiet. V good location in the middle of the bustling old town with a 10 min walk to bus station and ferry port. Would definitely stay here again.

Tucked into Diocletian’s Palace walls, and up 3 flights of stairs, this property offers clean and comfortable rooms in the heart of the many restaurants, bars and shops. Malena is very hospitable.

Charming and helpful. Greeted us with lemonade and cookies. She gave us a brief language lesson. She also encouraged us to utilize the laundry line, which was needed. She also invited us to use the upper floor balcony ( which we didn’t, but still was nice)

This was a perfect place to stay for our short visit to Split. The room was spacious, spotless and ideally located rfor the old town of Split. Maelna (our host) was brilliant, recommending places to go and things to do. I would recommend this place

Absolutely wonderful stay in old Split

We absolutely loved our stay. The host was the most friendly, welcoming person and gave us recommendations of things nearby to see. The location is absolutely ideal—right I. The heart of things in the old town so that we could come and go as we explored throughout the day! The room was beautiful, with a view of the cathedral above the neighboring rooftops. The host lest us store our bags for the morning after checking out and she was there to see us off at noon!

The host was amazing! I didnt realize i had to check out super early of my previous accommodation and she was able to work with me to check in early. She also gave me a map of the city with her recommendations.

Had wonderful stay at the Malena Palace. Room was large, brand new, and spotless. Location is perfect, in the middle of everything. And the hostess Malena was so friendly and very helpful. We would stay again !! Just a tip, when you get to the door to the apartments (small sign that says Malena Palace), ring the doorbell and Malena will open the door and greet you and take you to your apartment.

8/10 Very good

Malena is lovely and attentive. Exceptionally clean and a nice bathroom which isn’t always the case in these tiny places. It’s in the place central area and hard to find. Also she has no way to accept payment except cash. I did not pay Expedia site ahead of time and had to go to ATM to get cash. This should be stated on the website along with 5 flights of stairs to walk up.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great location and surprisingly quiet rooms given you’re right in the middle of all the action. Booking on Expedia and selecting pay at property only to find out when we arrived that the property only took cash resulted in substantial fees from having to take money out of a bank machine. This was a disappointment

Be prepared for stairs (3 flights). If cne you’re over that it’s a wonderful guest room ( they have 3 rooms). Malena and her husband were super hospitable - Malena offering to let me go to the roof and drink her homemade lemonade. Her husband graciously assisted carrying my medium sized luggage at check in and check out (7am check out even). Location is recessed but no worries once you get to your rooom.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Malena was lovely and accommodated our early check in, and even made us some lemonade! She kindly gave us some recommendations of things to do. The room, while clean, was *really* small - perfect for 1 person, but way too tight for two. The tv was not working. She invited us to use her terrace, which was up a flight of stairs to her space, and featured a pretty view of the bell tower and a lovingly tended garden. We had some difficulty finding it, and the entrance and stairwell up were decrepit looking - lots of stairs, so not recommended for less able bodied people.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Rating based on great location inside the palace walls, comfortable bed, great soundproofing, and good use of available space to maximize storage. My wife and I had room #1 and heard very little noise even though bars and restaurants were three floors down. There were lots of hooks and shelves in the bathroom which made it nice to store toiletries. Otherwise it’s a basic room with limited natural light, somewhere to sleep and rest between activities. One must climb three flights of stairs to get to the unit, and the path to the stairwell goes through a back alley. I thought the A/C was adequate but people who really like to crank the temperature down may be disappointed.
