Hotel Kastel 1700

What guests think

At Hotel Kastel 1700, travelers praise the unbeatable Old Town/Riva location and consistently warm staff, while noting the historic building means no elevator and many stairs, some annex rooms a short walk away, and an entrance that’s hard to find.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with occasional sea views and effective air conditioning, though sizes vary and some feel dated or compact. Breakfast is frequently described as good with decent variety, but a few guests found it basic or preferred nearby cafes. Overall, expect a characterful stay with standout staff, best for travelers comfortable with stairs and prioritizing service over full service amenities.

My husband & I visited Split with our two children ages 6 & 9. We stayed for 2 nights and Hotel Kastel had everything we needed. It had a beautiful view from outside the bedroom windows, close distance to everything you could need in Split! If you have a car, the parking offered off-site is quite a ways away from the hotel, but that was told to use in advance. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hotel Kastel!!

This hotel is right in the center of the promenade, by the castle. However don’t bring lots of luggage as cars can’t get up to the steps - it is in a pedestrian area. It is tucked away , difficult to find first time so talk to hotel for directions beforehand. Staff are very friendly, and it’s good with breakfast included if you are ok with a simple breakfast.

We hired the shuttle for an airport pickup, we would highly recommend this as he dropped us off quite a distance from the hotel as it is walk in only. The hotel staff met us at the car and walked us back to the hotel. We arrived at midnight and I know there is no way we would have found the hotel otherwise. It feels quite sketchy in the dark but we had a different feel in the morning. Nice breakfast and the staff are lovely. we were wondering how we were going to get picked up in the morning for our cruise but the cruise staff walked to our hotel as you can not drive to it.

This is an excellent hotel right in the middle of everything. The location could not be beat: few steps from Split Riva, 2-3 minutes walk from the port and from the bus stop, right within Diocletian Palace and other historical places in Split. Plenty of dining and shopping choices within few steps from the hotel. I found the hotel to be very clean. Breakfast buffet was excellent! It is important to point out that this hotel is located in one of the historical houses in Split, so there is no elevator. In addition, there are two flights of stairs to get to the entrance. These two flights of stars are made of old stone so, very slippery if it is raining.So, definitively not a good option for the seniors unless you are very fit and get a room in the first two floors. The room was small, but it had a view of the ocean and the Riva. Very clean, nice bathroom. There was a minibar and I thought the prices were acceptable. One suggestion to the owners: Could you please, include in your coffee selection instant nespresso without sugar or milk? Many people do not take sugar in their coffee and many have milk intolerance.

Great location, all the tours I went on were within 5 minutes walk and in the old town. With windows shut I had no issues with sound at night. Friendly staff. The taxi can't drop you off right outside the hotel and is a short walk. There is no lift so you can be climbing a few level of stair. For me this was fine; but for others it maybe something they want to consider.

Excellent location! The hotel does not have a lift for suitcases and there are not always able bodied persons to take them up the stairs. Guests should be aware of this as not all travellers are physically capable of taking their luggage up and down four flights of stairs.

Clean, comfortable room, with nice spacious shower and good firm mattress. Noise from outside was no problem with windows closed. Great breakfast selection, with lots of fresh fruit available. Entrance is a bit difficult to find, around the back. Would recommend airport pick-up, as cabs are much more expensive. Would stay here again.

Right in the old town of split, so as you would expect this is an old building. Rooms on the small side but equipped well with kettle hairdryer safe fridge. No lifts so need to be able to climb the stairs. Help available to carry luggage on arrival but due to early departure not available when we left. Good breakfast in very small breakfast room. Was fine for us as hotel was not full but could get busy in high season. Kindly allowed us to make a sandwich prior to breakfast time to take to the airport. Friendly team at the hotel.

The room we stayed in was newly renovated and very nice - especially the bathroom. Had amazing AC which is not always common and was a lifesaver during the heatwave. Opted into the hotel transfer which was great and the staff was extremely helpful in getting that organized. Location was perfect you’re 2 minutes from the boardwalk and close to a popular cab/uber pickup & dropoff site. Great food options immediately when exiting the annex building we were in which was also convenient.

Also arranged a taxi and walked us 500m to the meeting point as it was tricky to find, would definitely recommend.

It’s also a 10 minute walk from the ferry port which was convenient. The room was comfortable with plenty of room for two people to be comfortable in a twin room. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, providing a city map and useful information on the best options for exploring Split.

Es wurde auch stehts gefragt ob alles okay ist. Gepäck konnte dort aufbewahrt werden. Zimmer ist groß und sauber ..(zur Stadtseite,)Fenster sind super Isoliert, man hat nichts von dem Trubel auf dem Marktplatz mitbekommen. Wir hatten mit Frühstück (war okay) Der Kaffee hat leider garnicht geschmeckt. Direkt, vor der Tür gibt es unzählige Restaurants und Coffeeshop in den man frühstücken kann.

Veldig sentralt i Split sentrum / gamlebyen. Kort vei til alle fasiliteter. Et stykke å gå til parkeringsplass for leiebil, og ikke minst MYE oppover bakke som var tunge i 35 grader.. Vi hadde rom med sjøutsikt mot havnen, lite støy til tross for mye folk på utsiden. Godt isolert. Klimaanlegg gjorde det fint og kjølig på rommet. Anbefaler å kjøpe frokost på hotellet (15Euro), dette var mye bedre enn overprisede restauranter langs sjøen. Hyggelig betjening.
