Wonderful property ideally located inside the castle walls. Room was spotless and very comfortable with an incredible breakfast included each day. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed exploring the city from this location as well as used it as a base for a number of day trips. If you plan to have a car, be sure to contact the hotel ahead of time to arrange for parking, since the hotel is in a pedestrian only area. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

We really enjoyed our time at Hotel Vestibul, but it was much too short. In spite of our short stay, the staff was immensely helpful in assisting with complicated transfers prior to our arrival. The private driver company they work with is top-notch, and went above and beyond. Once at the fabulous small hotel, we were warmly welcomed to the perfect location and fabulous accommodations. The reception staff personally carried our bags up the hotel, as well as to our rooms. The breakfast was phenomenal. Definitely will return.

The manager called as we were driving from the airport and talked to our driver to make sure that we were dropped off at the right place. He then walked us through the old town to where we were staying, explaining the history and how to find the other hotel building. Our room itself was excellent - good air conditioning, a very comfortable bed and a warm, powerful shower. The hotel breakfasts were anazing - a lovely platter of fruit and cheese and a wide menu to choose from. Thank you - a great stay in a lovely city.

We had a wonderful (albeit short) two-night stay at Hotel Vestibul Palace. The service from Ivan and the entire team was truly outstanding — warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. While the hotel can be a bit tricky to navigate due to its location within the historic center, the staff made it completely stress-free. They guided us step-by-step, including helping with luggage from the parking lot directly to our room — a level of service we deeply appreciated. The facilities were clean, thoughtfully designed, and elevated in every way — a perfect blend of modern comfort and old-town charm. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Vestibul to anyone visiting Split!

We were at the villas for two nights, and I sure wish it could have been longer! They arranged a car for us from the airport, and since vehicles aren’t allowed in Old Town, they sent two people to take our luggage to our rooms. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. They suggested excellent restaurants, organized a tour of the Palace and Old Town, and packed a delicious lunch for us when we went to Plitvice for the day. Make sure to request Tonci for a tour … he is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us a familiarity with the area that was so helpful in making the most of our stay. Highly, highly recommend.

Great location, beautiful room and exceptional customer service. We went to the wrong section of the hotel, so they organised to have our, rather heavy, bags taken to our room. We had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant and sat outside in the beautiful courtyard. The food was delicious and our waiter, Moreno, was absolutely lovely and he had incredible knowledge of Croatia - which was fascinating to hear. Moreno also served us breakfast the next morning and his customer service is exceptional, other guests beside us also commented the same - he is definitely an asset to the hotel. He made us feel so welcome and our stay a memorable one.
