★★☆☆☆ Not the Holiday Experience We Were Sold We chose Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence expecting a relaxing holiday with easy access to the facilities advertised. Unfortunately, the reality fell well short of our expectations. The biggest issue was the rooftop pool area, which does not open until 1pm each day. This was never disclosed during the booking process, nor were we informed at check-in. For many guests, including ourselves, spending time around the pool is a key part of a summer holiday. To discover that this facility is unavailable every morning was both frustrating and disappointing. Having travelled extensively, I have never stayed at a hotel where guests are prevented from using the pool area until early afternoon. Had this restriction been clearly stated before booking, we would have chosen a different hotel. The hotel’s location was also disappointing. While Split’s Old Town is absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting, the hotel itself is situated in a predominantly residential area that lacks the charm many visitors might expect. The surrounding streets contain a significant amount of graffiti, and the immediate area does little to create a holiday atmosphere. The Old Town is over a 15-minute walk away, which may not sound far, but it is worth knowing if you’re expecting to step outside into the heart of Split. To be fair, the rooms were clean, comfortable and well maintained, and staff members we encountered were polite and professional. However, these positives were outweighed by the lack of transparency regarding the pool facilities and the underwhelming location. For a holiday costing over £5,000, we expected far better communication and a much more enjoyable overall experience. Future guests deserve to have all the relevant information before booking so they can make an informed decision. One member of staff who truly stood out was Ellen in the wellness centre. I booked a massage during my stay and it was exceptional. Ellen was professional, welcoming and highly skilled, providing one of the best massages I have had in a hotel spa. Her friendly manner and genuine care for guests were a highlight of the trip and she is a real asset to the hotel. If you are staying here, I would highly recommend booking a treatment with her. Unfortunately, despite some positive aspects, this is not a hotel we would choose to return to.
We had a great stay at Diocletian Hotel & Residence. The new wellness area looks amazing – you can really tell it has been recently renovated. Everything is clean, modern, and beautifully designed. The staff in the wellness were so kind and friendly, and they made us feel really welcome. The same goes for everyone else in the hotel – the service was excellent from the moment we arrived until we left. You can tell they really care about their guests and pay attention to the little details. We had a very relaxing stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. Looking forward to coming back!
From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcome thanks to the friendly and professional staff, who were always happy to help with anything I needed. The rooftop wellness area was one of my favorite parts of the hotel—beautifully designed, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax. I also appreciated the fitness room, which was spacious, modern, and equipped with everything needed for a great workout. Overall, the hotel offers a wonderful balance of comfort, wellness, and excellent service. I would definitely choose to stay here again.
A gem of a hotel, very good selection of food , excellent staff, very clean ,great lication ,excellent value for money
The room was huge, clean and new. The hotel isn’t located near the old Town, but it wasn’t a problem and just need to get a 5 minutes UBER. The Split City was for me the best City in Croatia. The con is the fact the pool area only opens at 13 hours, wich is a little strange for who wants a morning bath.
