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.

The Villa apartment was way better than expected, the pictures provided did no justice. I would continually recommend a stay here, and it is near all activities. Extremely comfortable and relaxing. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as smooth as possible.

There was no advice that hotel accepts only cash. While most of hotels in Split accept cash euros, this hotel would not accept euros. We had to go look for an exchange place late at night. Hotel hard to find when our taxi was looking for it.

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.
