Hôtel Rooms Toni Split

Ignore the negative reviews. If you choose to stay right in the centre of the old town then you have to expect some noise. The location is great for bars, pubs, restaurants, the ferry and the marina with everything no more than a few minutes walk away. Rooms were spotlessly clean, air conditioned and well appointed. Nice buffet breakfast served by the lovely Violet each morning. I would stay here again.

Central, accommodating. Friendly. Staff fab and very personable. Only 4 rooms so we had place to ourselves. No lift so Room 4 a bit of a climb but no problem so long as you know. Breakfast fresh and copious amounts and good quality. Rooms ready early. We went twice and met our expectations both times. Violet who looked after us charming, a bit hard to find but stick with it in the maze if the palace.

Un peu difficile à trouver dans le dédale de ruelles de la vieille ville, nous avons suivi la direction indiquée par notre taxi dans le vieux quartier piéton. Après avoir téléphoné d'un café proche, notre hôtesse est venue à notre rencontre avec le sourire, nous étions très proches. La maison est accueillante, fraîche, murs épais, avec la salle du petit déjeuner au rez-de-chaussée, 2 étages pour les chambres. La chambre est de bonne taille, confortable,climatisée, bien équipée, mobilier, TV, wifi. Une vaste salle de bain avec toilettes, douche, impeccable, à neuf. L'hôtesse, basée dans une maison attenante, apparaît au moment opportun, notamment en cas de besoin pour le petit déjeuner simple qui semble parfois pourvu avec peu d'attention. La maison est très proche du centre historique romain : à 5 minutes,le Palais de Dioclétien et son vestibule, la Cathédrale de Saint Domnius attenante, le Musée Ethnographique et en vaste choix de cafés, petits et grands restaurants comme le Portofino, Dvor, Konoba Fetivi etc ... C'est un excellent endroit proche du port, bien placé pour rayonner dans la vieille ville, découvrir ses remparts, le Péristyle, la statue de Grégoire de Nin à la porte près du Musée des Beaux Arts et du centre bus pour aller à la cité antique de Solin.

We stayed three nights in a room with two single beds, but only one of two nightstands had access to an electric outlet to charge phones. We’d requested a quiet, upper floor room but even from the 4th floor our sleep was disturbed by people shouting outside and guests returning to the hotel very late at night. Every morning the nearby church bells would ring at 6AM for almost two minutes! One morning, they rang at 6AM and 7AM. While the building walls are thick, the windows and door aren not insulated for sound. The bathroom was spacious with counter space and basic toiletries shampoo, shower caps, and soap provided. Even with GPS and the Apple and Google Maps Apps it was very confusing to find the apartment from the ferry landing. 30 minutes later we finally called Toni to rescue us and we were just one minute from the hotel. Once we arrived he kindly carried our bags up to our 4th floor room. As we left for dinner, he showed us The Basement. It’s the basement souvenir shop arcade of the palace which leads you to the Riva promenade and other areas of the town. Self service Breakfast was sad. There was no ice for the yoghurt or fruit drinks, half the cheese had melted into the plate so I didn’t dare try the ham, the boiled eggs were sliced in half and dried out. There was sandwich bread but no local pastries. Coffee had coffee grinds at the bottom. Was grateful for the fresh bananas and peaches. On our third and final morning, we were surprised by other guests requesting omelets and scrambled eggs with their breakfast as we were never offered eggs. We had an early morning tour and the hotel kindly placed a breakfast bag into our refrigerator the day before- two industrial chocolate croissants, two bananas, two kiddie juice packs and two chemical smelling ham and cheese sandwiches. Wasn’t sure if the overpowering smell came from the sandwich or the paper napkin it was wrapped. The location is central and great, the hotel has potential, soundproof your windows and doors, properly chill drinks and yoghurt, provide fewer higher quality food, and if you’re offering hot foods tell us and put up a menu like our hotel in Dubrovnik did. There are so many bakeries in Split selling delicious but reasonably priced stuffed borekas and local pastries so buy your bread the night before or the morning of and enjoy them at the hotel. The reception staff was friendly but rarely present. They kindly kept our bags at reception until our flight. The hotel office is in the building on the left side of the hotel entrance. It was nice having two card keys for the room.

Wonderfully located in Split with comfortable rooms and attentive staff. A few steps outside the hotel puts you in the middle of all the action, restaurants and a museum. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast in the morning. People challenged by steps may want to avoid this hotel.
