Hotel in zona Plaża, Kastel Luksic

Ho contattato questo hotel molti mesi fa per chiedere la nostra prenotazione di gruppo prima e dopo il nostro viaggio di vela. Dal primo momento, l'interazione con Antonio è stata eccellente, non solo per aiutarci con le disposizioni di prenotazione, ma anche con meravigliose suggerimenti sulle cose da fare durante il nostro soggiorno. Questo hotel è gem, grande posizione, grandi camere, grandi opzioni F&B, grande servizio! Nessun problema! Se vuoi evitare le folle di Split e i prezzi elevati, questo è il posto per essere!!!! Grazie Antonio e Stacija team per rendere il nostro soggiorno così memorabile! Speriamo di reciprocamente accogliere la vostra ospitalità a Barcellona!

I'm apparently in the minority giving this place only 3 stars. So I'll start with the good. The location is excellent. It's a very, very short, 5 minute walk to Old Split/Diocletian's Palace. We had a rental car, and while there isn't parking right at this place, there's a public parking lot just a short walk down the street. The place itself is located on an old historic street, in an old historic building. Though the inside has been completely modernized. Self check-in instructions were very clear and easy, and communication with the host was quick and easy. We stayed in Apartment 12, and the apartment itself was fantastic. It was clean, had a comfortable bed, a private balcony, and a full kitchen stocked with any pots/pans/utensils that you would need. There was a small table to eat at downstairs, and upstairs was a little sitting area/alcove down the hall from the bedroom. There was a small grocery store just a few steps away so cooking our own meals was extremely convenient and easy to do. The bad: The shower had almost no hot water. This might not bother some people, especially in the summer. But we were there in the winter and this definitely put a damper in our stay. The shower had, at most, 5 minutes of hot water. We had to take military style showers (turn water on to get wet, turn water off and shampoo hair, turn water back on to rinse, etc). And since the water took over 2 hours to heat back up, only one person could shower at a time. The water heater had indicator lights on it to show you how much hot water it had, and we noticed that just from washing our hands in warm water, the lights would start to indicate that the hot water supply was already depleting. It seemed like a water heater that was meant for a sink, and not a shower. On the second and third days of our stay, we actually carried hot water up from the kitchen (separate water heater) in pots to assist in the ”rinse” part of our showers. Again, maybe this isn't as annoying in the hotter summer months, but I do expect to have hot showers when I stay at places with modern amenities. I only see one other review here that mentions the lack of hot water so maybe this isn't a common problem. Perhaps the water heater was just broken when we were there. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't stay here again simply because of the shower. But I almost hate to say that because everything else was wonderful.

Lovely small, friendly hotel situated away from the busy seafront but within easy reach of everything including the palace. We found the breakfast amble with lots of choices and always freshly prepared. Room was a good size and very clean, fresh towels and bed made every day. Bar did close early but it was still nice to have afternoon or pre-dinner drinks in the garden always served with a smile. Maya was amazing, always greeted us with a smile and wanted to hear how our day went. Maya shared her knowledge about the best sites to visit during our stay with all the details on how to get there and make the most of it. She also recommended and booked restaurants for us, nothing was ever too much trouble. Thankyou so much Maya I wish you and the Hotel all the best for the future.

Camera molto bella e ampia, con bella vista sulla piazza centrale. il personale è estremamente gentile e disponibile. poiché l'hotel è molto piccolo (piano superiore dell'edificio - ogni piano ospita un hotel diverso), non c'è il ristorante dell'hotel. per colazione, ricevi buoni per il vicino ristorante ”bokeria”, che è anche molto carino. la colazione era eccellente, soprattutto le uova in camicia dalmata. la posizione dell'hotel non potrebbe essere migliore: proprio nel centro della città vecchia, tutte le attrazioni sono a soli 5 minuti a piedi. l'hotel è in una zona pedonale, ma se viaggiate con bagagli pesanti, possono organizzarvi per portarvi molto vicino all'hotel (con il golf cart). anche se in posizione centrale, se hai le finestre chiuse, non si sente alcun rumore. Consiglio vivamente questa proprietà a chiunque sia interessato a visitare la città vecchia di Spalato. Spero di poter tornare un giorno.

Unfortunately we wouldn't recommend the hotel for the following reasons: - - The hotel is directly under the flight path to Split Airport. When in your room or lying by the pool any chance of relaxation or peace is prevented by the regular plane traffic overhead, at quite low altitude from circa 07.00 to circa 23.00. - The hotel is a reasonably-short walk into Trogir (10-15 minutes) but the majority of this is along a busy road with no footpath so certainly not an enjoyable walk and at times dangerous. A new promenade was being constructed when we visited and is apparently due to be completed by Summer 2024. But in the meantime it is very unpleasant to walk to Trogir, seems to short a distance to take a taxi and it is a shame the hotel have not put anything in place to mitigate this (e.g. a shuttle bus even if at a small charge). - Our room was nicely decorated but not very spacious e.g. no room to store our full-size suitcase (we moved it around the floor and put it in front of the door when we were inside) and not much storage space in the wardrobe (we kept most of our things in the suitcase). - The bathroom floor was exceptionally (dangerously) slippery when wet to the point that the shower floor was like an ice rink with nothing to cling on to if you slipped (which we did). The only way we managed to use it safely was to wear the hotel's free slippers which was a strange way to take a shower but at least we didn't sustain any bruises or broken bones or need to wish each other good luck in advance of using it. - The air con was not only noisy but also blew sporadically as though you were in a gusty wind (reminiscent of a stormy winter night in the UK) and there was no means to direct it away from one side of the bed (the other side was out of the wind!). There was no fly screen and also it was very hot when we stayed, so we had to use the air con. I mentioned the issue when we checked out and apparently it is a 'known problem' - They have a strange towel regime with a card to get two towels, then you get the card back on returning the towels , then swap it back again for the next towels...with an exorbitant charge noted as being due if you failed to have the card in your possession on check out. I think the system was new when we visited and it seemed very confusing/likely to cause issues (although we managed to avoid any). It seems the hotel must have a problem with towel theft, but we have seen better ways to combat this and the staff were not up to speed/there was a towel bin by the pool where I nearly put my towels before remembering I needed to get a card back. - A small point but the orange juice at breakfast did not taste like orange juice...other than that the breakfast was very nice, especially the avocado egg benedict. I have noted the negatives first as unfortunately we thought they far outweighed the positives to the point that we would definitely not visit again or recommend the hotel to others and so, for us, they paled i
