“Ended up being given a room elsewhere...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

Got a taxi to there from the airort - cost 300 Kuna.
We had only booked to stay at Room Nevena for one night.
Arrived at a big house - but couldn't see any signage that it was 'Rooms Nevena'.
Woman came out of the apartments to meet and greet us from the taxi - I tried to confirm that this was Room Nevena and she said is was and that she had tried calling me to find out where I was (which my mobile phone had no record of...). She told us her place was full (as due to our late arrival - 9pm, which isn't late really), and resultantly she had rented out the room to other people. She showed us a map of where we were and where her friend was going to put us up in an apartment for the night. She reassured us this was a good deal and recommended some restaurents and bars, etc. Her friend collected us and drove for around 10 mins to the other apartment - which was near Restaurant Boban and the Firule tennis courts. Her friend seemed like a nice guy but didnt speak any English. The room turned out to be a cosy little room near the sea - and a straight walk to the harbour. It was clean and had a nice balcony. Paid the guy 50 Euro for the night - in cash. This whole arrangement felt a little weird, but the Croatian people involved were friendly enough and although this seemed unusal it felt fairly safe and secure.

“Stay Away if you are clean concious, Use if you don't care”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2008

This hostel is dirty, dingy and noisy. I cringed every time I had to use the bathroom. The decor and furniture was in a time warp, back to the 1950s. The bed spreads were stained.
When it rained the guttering dripped making it impossible to sleep. I couldn't wait to leave this place. I chose it according to location and price. It was cheap but for a good reason. I got what I paid for, serves me right.
It is student accommodation.
The owner is friendly but thrifty, she tries to get you to write good reviews about her horrible place.

It is within walking distance to the historic centre if you don't mind a 20 minute walk. I didn't. There is useful parking in the centre by the promenade, it costs a reasonable £1 per hour. You can usually find parking out of season but it will be difficult in the summer as it is limited in size.

The historic centre is the only place to visit in Split and you only need stay 6/7 hours for shopping, tour guide and eating. There is a good selection of restaurants but I can't say if they are good or not; I tried one on the Island of Ciovo opposite Trogir and it was awful.

You can visit the islands of Hvar and Brac from Split by taking the available ferries. The ferries are quite cheap but taking cars is expensive but DO TAKE a car if you want to get the most out of the trip there.

  • Liked — Just walkable to the city centre
  • Disliked — Dirty
