This is an elegant boutique hotel. The location is perfect, the rooms are fantastic and the service is exceptional.
The hotel sits just inside the palace walls and just a few steps from the seaside promenade. The rooms are extremely well appointed, integrating modern interiors and amenities within thousand year old walls. Treat yourself to room #6.
Both Anita and Branimir (who remembered us from a previous stay 4 years ago...and vice versa) provided us with unparalleled hospitality and service.....they are friendly, welcoming and thoughtful.....and are one of the many reasons why staying at the Vestibul Palace will make your experience in Split so unforgettable.

We were two families having 4 rooms at this small hotel, so we took up about half the rooms! The reception we received was amazing. We called the hotel, as suggested by reviewers here, when we arrived in Split. It is impossible to find on your own! Don't even try! The amazing staff took all our bags (x8!). Please note parents; the kids were on the floor below us. Very safe but anyway. There's only two or so rooms per level. The rooms are fun, nice, clean and of good size. The location so so good in the old palace. We only had 2 nights here. Had we stayed more the noice at night time and no pool would have made me miserable. But for a shorter stay this is as good as it gets!

Wow! What a perfect place. Truly a work of art and very comfortable. But the best reason to stay here is the staff - more than five-star service. The rooms were a bit small but I assumed they would be. Everything else made up for that.

When you try to book a room at Hotel Vestibul, Villa Dobric is included in the choice of rooms, so it's not completely clear you are staying at a separate location. The Hotel Vestibul must have been full, since this was our only option.

We like the boutique hotel type atmosphere, and this was not it. It felt more like we rented an apartment. There was really no interaction with staff or other guests. We could have had breakfast at Hotel Vestibul, but only if we paid an additional fee. It was not much of a continental breakfast either at our place.

Definitely did not think it was worth almost $300 a night. The valet parking is additional, so note the cost when they list that they have parking.

We felt Split deserves a day, but maybe not an overnight stay. However, if you are there in the evening, a visit to the Luxor bar is an amazing and different experience. You sit outside on a pillow in Peristil square and listen to music. What a great idea.

The idea of a town being built among a palace is historical, and definitely a unique experience, but the town is quite dirty with graffiti on the ruins, so next time, don't think we would stay here.
