Staff was very attentive and friendly. We had to extend our stay by one day and it was no problem.

This place was amazing! The history of it's location is mind blowing. Transportation is easy, the bus station is right down the road as well as taxi service all day. I didn't fly into Split but I did see an airport shuttle. The customer service was above and beyond as well! They made me feel very welcomed and the stay that much more enjoyable. I expected a lot out of my trip and it was better than I could have expected. I will most definitely be back! Thank you to everyone that made it possible!

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!

The location within the palace was excellent. It may be a bit difficult to get too, but call before arrival, and the staff will meet you on the street outside of he palace, to escort you and assist with bags. Was a fantastic place, and I will return.

We were staying in the annex to this hotel - Villa Dobrić, which is a duplex. There are a lot of steps between the main hotel and the villa including steps up to the duplex and once inside to the top floor (no lift). The rooms were a little tired. There is no tea/coffee facility therefore having to go to main hotel for refreshments/breakfast (no morning tea!!!). Further stairs to the bedroom, bed was very comfortable, however due to sloping ceiling and beams you could not sit up in bed and had to crawl into the bed - not good for anyone with limited movement.

Response from Ivan Todorić on 10 Sept 2022
Dear Veronica,thank You for Your kind review.You are correct. There is no lift/elevator. The reason for that are strict regulations regarding construction in the old town. Diocletian Palace and most of the old town (where both hotel and villa are located) has been protected by UNESCO since 1979. Regarding morning tea, we had pointed out to You upon check in that we treat all of our guests equally, regardless which building they are staying in. We could had brought You tea, coffee or other beverages during breakfast hours, from 7 to 10 every morning, You just needed to call us or text us. To sum up, we are glad to see that You enjoyed our beautiful destination and the bed and we hope to fulfill Your expectations regarding breakfast next time. Thank You and have a nice day!

The Hotel Vestibule Palace is very well situated within the palace walls and has everything around it. The staff was amazing and the renovated hotel is wonderful, yet small. They changed me to their sister location, Villa Dobric, which is 250m away. The room I got was very basic, but clean and nice. I highly recommend.

The staff reached out to me and made arrangements to meet me at the bus station. They helped me with my luggage and showed me the way to hotel. Along the way, they introduced the area to me. I was very glad that they made such arrangements because there was no way I would have found the hotel myself as a first-time visitor to Split.

Great Central Location. Little tough to find, since we checked in around 6pm, it was but difficult to haul our luggage to the hotel and deal with several sets of stairs to reach the hotel. But the location can’t be beat once you settle in.

Absolutely wonderful small boutique Hotel. Wonderful central location in the midst of Diocletian’s Palace, close to all the major sightseeing spots in Split. Extremely attentive staff. Lovely breakfast. A true gem. Wished we had stayed more than our two nights. Will not stay anywhere else in Split.

Amazing stay! Beautiful room. The hotel is lovely but the staff are even more wonderful than the hotel. They were so kind and helpful and truly went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. They brought our luggage to and from the hotel, which was much appreciated. My husband left a pair of sunglasses and they found them and shipped them to us. They found a nearby gym I could use. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Highly recommend this exceptional property.

The Vestibul Palace has the best location in Split’s old town. We really enjoyed our stay.
Only negative point: The breakfast was served as buffet - which isn’t really hygienic in times of Corona.... at least the staff was wearing masks.

Dear Laura, thank you very much for your feedback and your kind words! We are happy to see your satisfaction with our hotel and service, it means very much to us.
Our hotel is located inside Split old town and Diocletian's palace and that part of the town is pedestrian area. We have private garage which is located in our other property, approx. 10 minutes walking distance from our hotel, closed and under video surveillance. That is the reason why we send driving directions to every guest who arrives by car. We understand that the parking process is not as simple as the one bigger hotels may have but we try to make parking process easier for our guests by meeting them on the Riva main promenade, providing help with luggage and escort to our hotel. Afterwards, our driver drives the car in our garage.
We sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to have you as our dear guest again!
Take care.
Wish you all the best,

Service and location were fantastic - second to none. The room in the villa needed a little more attention, though. TV was non-functioning, a lightbulb was flickering/nearly burnt out, and the poor air conditioning was just insufficient for the superior room (though it was a free upgrade, so I really should not complain).
