“A gem”

Hotel Peristil

Jul 6, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

What a gem of a place - we booked after the recommendations here and the brief write-up in Lonely Planet, and without a doubt would stay here again in Split.

The location is perfect, and yet (with windows closed) it wasn't nearly as noisy as we had feared. The rooms are a bit small - we had an extra mattress for our daughter which made it rather cramped - but the little seating area in a nook helped make up for this, as did the pristine decor and the nicely decorated bathroom. (A previous reviewer mentioned no aircon, but perhaps they didn't look for the switch?! The aircon was perfect especially after walking around in the July heat...)

The hotel is perfectly situated both within Dioclatian's Palace and literally a couple of minutes away from the ferry and both bus terminals (airport bus is literally a minute's walk).

While we were absolutely charmed by the location and the hotel itself, the service undoubtedly propels it into the 5-star review we gave it. Some examples: not only did the guy park the car and fetch our suitcases out of it, but he also removed the bag of trash from the car and threw it away!; while we were waiting for our room (we arrived earlier than check-in time) I asked if we could get a sandwich from the restaurant for our daughter who was hungry - well, they do not have sandwiches on the menu but made her one anyway!; and when at dinner (where the food was excellent) we requested a half portion for our daughter on one dish, they not only obliged, but also charged exactly half the main course price when most restaurants charge about 75%. We also liked the small gesture of the complimentary litre of mineral water in the bar fridge being replaced every day, also in my experience pretty unusual.

All in all, a lovely couple of days here and we would recommend it to almost everyone - the exception being that both the location in the palace and the lack of an elevator (though there are only 3 floors anyway) would make it unsuitable for mobility-impaired persons.

“Great location”

This hotel is in a great location inside the old palace. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast in the morning was good, but did not have a huge selection. This is not a luxury hotel. The room was small but clean and well decorated. There is no elevator.
It was a fairly easy walk from the bus terminal. I would stay here again, but it's nothing fancy.

“Great location lovely staff”

Hotel Peristil

Jun 10, 2008

This place is in the best location that no other hotel can beat as its within the walled town. The hotel staff were great and helped us in every possible way. They even parked our car for us as we had no idea where to park it.

The downsides were that the room was a bit small, no air con and our double bed was two singles pushed together.

However if you can get past this then you will love it. It truely is a well placed hotel. Also the restaurant serves the best food beeting all its rivals in my opinion.

“Fabulous Hotel & Location”

Hotel Peristil

5 of 5 stars
Santa Barbara, CA
Jun 6, 2008

The Peristil hotel is in the heart of the historical center of the city of Split. We had a room that overlooked the square. There were a couple of windows in the room with beautiful views. The hotel was upgraded recently, so our bed area and bathroom were modern and comfortable. In the morning the breakfast was what you wanted off the menu. There was a wide selection and it was all delicious. The staff was great. There is not an elevator, but the staff will bring your luggage up and down the stairs. The front desk woman was very helpful When we checked out we needed to leave our luggage for a few hours while we explored Split, and she told us not to worry about leaving our luggage and it was okay to use their facility (toliets, etc) until we needed to leave. Since the hotel is in the heart of the city, it was easy to walk around Split. The only thing that needs to be mention is, if you take a taxi to the hotel, the taxi can not drop you off at the hotel. You will need to walk about 3 minutes with your luggage to the hotel. But it is so worth the walk. If you are in Split, this is the hotel to stay in.

“Best location to all!”

I stayed in a single room in this hotel and, while it was your basic room, everything was more than adequate, even the small bathroom. I loved that I could hear everything going on in the city in my room, if I left the windows open; the choir singing in the church, church bells, people laughing in the streets. My room was cleaned daily, I felt very looked after as a young 30 year old female travelling by myself. The hotel staff was more than helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel looked after since I was on my own. The location is within walking distance to everything. I only took a bus from the airport to the downtown terminal and never needed a taxi or another bus until I left for another island. Lastly, I reserved my hotel over email and appreciated the quick replies I received in return to each of my inquiries.
