What guests think

Hotel Peristil draws strong praise for its unbeatable setting inside Diocletian’s Palace and for friendly, helpful staff, with many guests appreciating good breakfasts and overall comfort, while noting trade-offs from the historic location.

Frequent comments mention noise from nearby plazas, cathedral bells, and early-morning activity. Access can be challenging: no elevator, lots of stairs, and cars cannot reach the door; parking and luggage transfers require short walks, though the hotel can arrange airport transport. Rooms range from simple or dated to comfortable with occasional views, and a few guests reported weak or seasonal air conditioning. Expect a characterful stay in the very heart of Split.

Everything was terrific! Easy to find, close to shops and restaurants! Staff was very friendly- set up our airport transfer for us - very economical and pleasant! There are steps but I believe they put you according to ability to walk if possible!

Great location, right in old town. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only difficulty was no elevator and our friends that we were traveling with were in their 80's. Their room required 3 flights of stairs. Also the parking was a 6-7 minute walk away and hauling suitcases to the hotel involved several small sets of steps.

Beautiful hotel inside the Old Town walls. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Room was quirky with little natural light due to proximity to outer wall snd restoration. Bed was comfortable. Great location. You will need to get your luggage up a road and up and down many stairs.

In/tegen de Romeinse stadsmuur van de oude binnenstad gebouwd. Directe toegang tot (zeer toeristische) oude stad, maar toch op loopafstand van (bus)station en veerboten. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Geen lift, alleen een trap naar de derde verdieping (de enige trap!; geen noodtrap aanwezig). Rioollucht in de badkamer uit putje in de vloer. Vullen met water hielp niet, een natte handdoek erop leggen wel. Wij waren er van zaterdag op zondag: veel toeristisch geluid op zaterdagavond, veel luide kerkklokken vanaf 6 uur zondagochtend. De oordoppen bewezen weer goede diensten.

There is no way to get to the front of the hotel by car. After dropping you off with all the baggage, the taxi leaves, and you have to walk uphill drugging your suitcases for about 300 yards. The hotel is literally inside the Roman ruins, so the room we received was on the 4th floor and they have no elevator, so we had to drug our suitcases upstairs by ourselves. There was no one to help. Hotel is very old and smells musky. However, the reception lady was nice and they try to keep it clean. The room had a nice modern bathroom.

Beliggenhet i gamlebyen er fantastisk bra. God frokost og renhold. Men aircondition som ikke fungerer trekker mye ned. Når det reklameres med aircondition, så forventer man at det er tilfelle. Derfor blir det samlet ingen god karakter fra meg.

For some, I’m sure staying in a hotel located in what used to be a palace is exciting. For me, it was not. The hotel’s proximity to the sea and the port is exceptional, and the staff members were exceptional. Arriving after dark, in a thunderstorm, and having no idea how to find the hotel was frustrating. Listening to the “show” in the palace with a speaker outside my window until 00:00 or even 01:00 one night, and then listening to the bells ringing so many times at 06:00 every morning was not fun for me.

This was my favorite of the three hotels I stayed at in Croatia. The location was perfect, the staff was very helpful and friendly, the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the breakfast was good. If you don't love walking up stairs, though, be careful to ask for a room on the lower floors as there is no elevator. Also, bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper - the location is right in the old town and you do hear music, etc late into the night. That is nothing against this hotel, because you'd hear it anywhere in the area. We used the airport transportation service they offered, and it was reliable/punctual and reasonably priced (cash only though). I'd recommend this hotel and would return again if I go to Split.

Staying overnight from Saturday to Sunday meant loud parties and music until late. As air conditioning was not running yet (too early in season), closing windows was not really an option.

We loved the Peristil which is a friendly, homely hotel where the owner and staff seem to know and like each other and do their best to ensure that guests are made welcome. Superb location near the main square of the palace. Our room had a wonderful view of the cathedral tower. We had good breakfasts and enjoyed evening meals there far more than in some of the highly rated restaurants in the area. Like many historic hotels, there is no lift but staff insisted on carrying our cases up to our room.

Exceptional, central position inside Diocletian’s Palace near the Riva, port, buses, and sights. The prime setting also brings crowd and bell noise and requires walking with luggage due to restricted vehicle access.

We stayed one night in the hotel before our flight home. Very well situated close to the harbour and airport shuttle. It is a nice small hotel with an old style mediterranian decor just inside and next to the churchtower of the city of old Split, so you are right in the center of everything from very early morning till late night - you might want some earplugs just in case. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. Fine standard breakfast.
