Guesthouse Villa Scalaria

Large room, nice receptionists

We only stayed for one night at the room, and as other reviewers have mentioned, the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. It was possible to leave our luggage in reception while we went exploring prior to the next stage of our journey. The stairs to Marjan Park were right opposite the hotel. The walk from the bus station along the promenade was short and easy, even with a wheelie case. The Old Town was very close and the area felt very safe. Our room did not have a view, but the beds and bathroom were spotless and we had a very good night's sleep.

The location of this place is excellent, very close to the promenade and the palace. And most of all, it is right at the entrance of the stairs to Marjan Hill with the cafe and the best view of Split. The room is spacious and very comfortable and good service as well.

We loved the modern minimal feel of Villa Scalaria which was ideally placed for us to walk to the modern promenade and the amazing Diocletian palace. The room was spotless and also very quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. Julia was lovely, very attentive and helpful, giving us a map explaining how to get to the places we wanted to visit. She also arranged our airport transfers which were both pleasant experiences. Many thanks for everything Julia.

This was a very good choice. We were just here for one night. We chose the apartment as there were three of us and we really wanted 2 separate rooms. This place was perfect for us. It was a really high quality modern apartment, clean, spacious, with a nice view and a bit of a terrace. Although we didn’t do any cooking, we sure appreciated the refrigerator. I was on the pull-out sofa bed.. and the mattress on that could have been better.. maybe provide a topper? The staff where excellent, friendly and very accommodating. We arrived far too early for check-in but were able to leave our bags there and go explore. We still had an early check-in and also a delayed check-out (due to 2 of my party just not waking up in time). Thanks for the flexibility! This is a really good location from where to explore Split.

This was a bit of an odd experience. Good parking facilities, nice staff, clean and comfortable rooms - with a nice big bathroom and good shower. The location was good - within easy walking distance of lots of cafes and restaurants and tourist sites. But the reception is in a windowless basement and our room was on the same level. Because of the slope of the land, this turned out to be on the first floor - above a restaurant and close to the noisy street. The windows were double glazed, but you could still hear voices from outside. There was no front entrance to the hotel - just a small door opening onto a side street, so it had a bit of a sterile feel. There were also a few odd money-saving features - a light switch only at the top of the stairs, so you couldn't see very well coming up and only very basic tv channels - just the free-to air ones.

This is a very small hotel in the basement of a building ( rather difficult to find at first) but it's within minutes of the centre of Split and very near the ferries for connection to other islands. ( However the signage at the ferry terminal isn't great and we were glad that we set off - on foot - at 8am for the 9am ferry.) The air con is a relief from the heat outside, and Juliya on the desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. She told us how to walk to the nearest beach which was great - I had a lovely swim there and jumped off the harbour wall into the sea which was fun. She also told us where to eat and drink and her recommendations were spot on. The room was very clean and modern. Definitely recommended.

The hotel is a boutique hotel close to the harbour of Split.Nice rooms with high standard.Air condition that is of the latest standard.Very pleasant staff that works in the hotel.They give the hotels clients a very good service.Parking facilities are available.The hotel has no food facilities but there is a lot of restaurants and coffeehouses in the neighborhood.The hotel can be recommended if you look for a good hotel with high standard in the city of Split.
