walking distance. My only regret is that a balcony room wasn’t available. We had 3rd and beautiful view of beach/ocean but no balcony. Owner/manager was very pleasant. My only complaint was the dryer taking quite a long time to dry clothes but other than that, definitely worth every dime. Recommend travel to Omiš for water/land excursions (15 minutes away).

A lovely modern apart-hotel with a fabulous view of the Adriatic islands. Good quality bed, bath and kitchenware. Scrupulously clean. Ideal for self catering and for visiting Split - the bus stop is right outside. Our studio and balcony were spacious and beautiful. Staff were wonderful, alerting me at once to property I left in error. Steep slope and stairs to access may be challenging for some guests but we would highly recommend Stipe and Podstrana,

Over book accommodation, your booking is not safe
I booked this accommodation. On arrival, we were told they overbooked. They put us together with another family on a single flat after 4 hours' negotiation. The flat cost a lot less than our original booking and they refused to give out refund. With two small kids, we were only supplied an accommodation at 1:00am in a different place. Two people have to sleep in the lounge. We were told they overbook in order to earn money from cancellation.

Room with a view
This is a property without a reception so my concern was finding someone to let us in. However, the owner left the note and the keys were inside the room which was fine as far as I am concerned. The view from our balcony was outstanding. The beach was within short distance.

So sad to have to leave!
It was wonderful!!! This was a week's vacation with my daughter between her completing an academic program in Europe and returning to the U.S. -- after 2 years. We had a great time and the Hotel Stipe was beautiful and the staff not just accommodating, but also genuinely friendly and interested in us as we were in them. Thanks friends!

Good one night stop-over on a road trip.
We stay regularly in Podstrana after flying in or out of Split. It is close to the airport but away from the madness of the city. This was our first stay at Stipe. The receptionist was very helpful, directed us to the room and gave us a glass of milk so we could make coffee straight away. Most hotels in Croatia don't have tea or coffee making facilities which is why we booked an apart-hotel. The kitchenette had a kettle, small fridge, microwave and two ring hob which all worked and were immaculately clean but there was not much in the way of kitchenware. No problem for one night but would have wished for more on a longer stay. The WiFi worked well in Room 6. Perfect for one night and much better value than the beachfront hotels we have stayed in. Will return.

Lovely, quiet apartment very close to the beach
My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for 7 nights, our room was really clean and the air conditioning was great. The shower and kitchen facilities were also excellent. We had fresh towels and our room cleaned every day. We had a mountain view which was perfectly fine if you want to pay less for your room. The staff were really friendly and approachable for information. The beach is literally just across the road where there is a good choice of restaurants and tavernas. The bus to Split is frequent and takes around 40 to 50 minutes during busy times, the bus stop is just outside the hotel so very convenient and only costs 13 kn. I would definitely stay here again.

A nice hotel with a beautiful view.
I found the hotel very pleasing, bed comfortable, personnel very nice. The sat. TV was not too user friendly and no instructions. Breakfast on the terrace was enjoyable but if it rains you will have to take it on the room's balcony. A bus service operates from outside hotel to Split every 30 minutes and it takes 20 mts. There are restaurants at the marina but very expensive as you would expect it. Nearby restaurants are not too pleasant to dine in. The alternative is Split; we had lunch at Pizzeria Portas, they serve pizzas and Mediterranean dishes at a reasonable price. 300 Mtrs from hotel there is a Supermarket and has everything you need but don't expect a smile from the personnel. You can get picked up opposite, for trips to Dubrovnik (recommended) and other tourists locations.

Great hotel - large rooms and great sea view
The hotel is great! The room was bigger than expected and the balcony (overlooking the sea) was huge with great comfortable furniture! Hotel is a 30 min bus ride to centre of split but I found the bus ride a great experience and it was so easy with English speaking drivers! Will definitely visit again! Thanks

Warning
Arrived in evening 19:30, no one at hotel to check in. Hotel would not answer calls, rang call service at hotel dozens of times no answers! Called several times again no answers. Spoke with other guests they did not know how to get in touch with the owners either. Had to book a room at the large hotel for the night. Showed up next morning to the hotel and guess what the staff member was their. Showed the contact details and the call log on my phone, described guests and all other details. Staff members response " Well you might get your money back" Don't waste your time with this place.

Very reasonable accommodations!
My friend and I recently stayed in one of the units for three nights and it was perfect for our stay in the Split area. We had a car and so the 10-minute drive to Split was just fine because the rate was so good. In addition, I had requested on the site to have two beds but when we showed up they had missed the note and had a unit with just one bed. After a quick call they changed the unit to one with two beds and we were all set!

why you shouldnt use this hotel
Hotel was ok, at least it was more then i expected for that price. However there was no receptionist waiting for us upon arrival 1130pm after 30 minutes i eventually figure out (with help of one of the guests) that there is a bell on the other side of hotel(sic!) during one week nobody cleaned our room even there was a PLEASE CLEAN OUR ROOM label hanging on the door. Eventually we managed to get a mop so we could do it ourselves. In summary: If you want a nice looking place with decent distance to the beach and bus stop (less then 100 meters) with no working WIFI (we had to go to reception area to get in range) I will recomend it to you

Very pleasant stay!
The apartment was very clean, spacious with a beautiful sea view and lovely balcony. It was handy to have the kitchen, fridge and private parking. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Only downside was that the internet did not work in the room but signal was very strong on the outside terras, above the reception.

Ok for families
Not easy to find apartments, one staff member showed us to our room, nice view, told if we needed any think to ring out side door bell, at 4 30pm rang to ask if someone could help to sort why the TV was not working. Left at 8.00pm to get dinner and still no one had arrived, on our return the TV was working. The double bed was appalling, this apartment had a 4 star rating, the bed was ready for the tip, had to search for any top bedding, found in wardrobe, the towel for shower where just hand towels. Not 4 star standard. Breakfast was extra , but was good.

quiet getaway
The hotel is about 8km from Split in a quiet area. Podstrana is beautiful, with mountains behind the clear blue sea and local beaches. There aren't many shops in the area, and a few local bars, so if you are looking for a quiet break, it;s spot on. The Aparthotel was very clean and only 2 minutes walk from the beach. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Take a trip to the old town in Split (approx £15) by taxi- its historical buildings and heritage are amazing. I would stay here again. if you are looking for nightlife and bars then this isnt the place, but for a quiet few days away in the sun, R&R, and swimming in the crystal blue sea then i would recommend it.

Near miss experience
We arrived the hotel at 9pm. There wasn't anyone at the reception. We tried a buzzer labelled reception at the hotel but no luck. We went across the street and found a helpful receptionist from another hotel to ring a local number on our Expedia confirmation. It went through to hotel stipe reception mobile which is not stationed in the hotel. It took her 10 mins to drive back and checked us in. If we didn't find the guy to help us rang the number we wouldn't be able to check in. Apart from this near miss experience, the receptionist is reasonably helpful and spoke good english.

Familierettet leilighetskompleks nær stranden!
Dette er et leilighetskompleks, og ikke et hotell - og er myntet på personer/familier som ønsker umiddelbar nærhet til strandliv. Leiligheten var ganske ren, men ut i fra støvoppsamlingen så ble den ikke vasket hver dag. Fin utsikt fra leilighet 11 - og et greit lite kjøkken med to stekeplater. Går ikke an å lage store middager, men kjøkkenet er nok reservert mer til frokostprogrammet. Kort vei til både restauranter, Strand, butikk - og ikke minst buss inn til Split. Tips: LEI BIL! Taxi/uber er dyrt - og de prøver alltid å lure deg for penger. (Kjører lange omveier, ber om kontantbetaling m.m). Personalet var veldig imøtekommende og hyggelig, noe som er overraskende sjeldent mtp at 90% lever av serviceyrker/turisme. Podstrana, som forøvrig ligger i utkanten av Split, er fint og passer barnefamilier i alle aldre.
