This was a perfect place to stay for our short visit to Split. The room was spacious, spotless and ideally located rfor the old town of Split. Maelna (our host) was brilliant, recommending places to go and things to do. I would recommend this place

Convenient lovely smaller hotel in a very walkable and safe area that is itself the heart of Split. The hostess was gracious and shared her knowledge of the area as well as some useful tips on what to see, where to find good restaurants etc. the hotel room was bright, clean and nicely decorated and came with air conditioning which was most welcome.

Had wonderful stay at the Malena Palace. Room was large, brand new, and spotless. Location is perfect, in the middle of everything. And the hostess Malena was so friendly and very helpful. We would stay again !! Just a tip, when you get to the door to the apartments (small sign that says Malena Palace), ring the doorbell and Malena will open the door and greet you and take you to your apartment.

Marlena palace was a fantastic place to stay. My husband and I were there for two nights before a cruise and were very happy with our stay. It’s a little tricky to find- through the posidion restaurant side alley and then up the stairs- but everything in split is tricky to find :). Only three rooms at this hotel, big rooms and clean, great air conditioning, rooftop patio. Right in the Center of of the walled city. I highly recommend staying there.

Great location and surprisingly quiet rooms given you’re right in the middle of all the action. Booking on Expedia and selecting pay at property only to find out when we arrived that the property only took cash resulted in substantial fees from having to take money out of a bank machine. This was a disappointment

Be prepared for stairs (3 flights). If cne you’re over that it’s a wonderful guest room ( they have 3 rooms). Malena and her husband were super hospitable - Malena offering to let me go to the roof and drink her homemade lemonade. Her husband graciously assisted carrying my medium sized luggage at check in and check out (7am check out even). Location is recessed but no worries once you get to your rooom.

가성비 오케이~

샤워할 때 뜨거운 물 잘 안나오는 것 빼고 다 좋았어요. 엘리베이터 없이 4층 올라가야해서 짐이 많으신 분이라면 유의하셔야 될 것 같네요. 사장님께서 너무 친절하시고 잘 대해주셔서 편히 머물 수 있었습니다.
