The hotel is situated in the very centre of Split on one of its main streets. It is just steps away from ancient and cultural monuments, including the 1700 year-old historic core of the city, which is protected by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site. The hotel's ideal location guarantees easy access to all important parts of the city. Within walking distance is the famous Diocletian Palace as well as the bus terminal, railway station and the ferry. The hotel is also just a short walk from the city's most popular sandy beach, Bacvice and its transparent clear sea. Split's wonderfully forested park, its "green soul", Marjan Hill is also just a short stroll through the Varos section of the city that begins at the end of the waterfront Riva. The stylish and lifestyle design and furnishings were carefully chosen by Ms. Parčina herself, a personal celebration of what's fresh, inventive, sleek, and flavoured with Split's ancient marine heritage. Dedicated to innovation, Hotel Luxe has started to change the entire look and feel of Split's hotel scene. Our young and motivated team of hospitality enthusiasts are dedicated to the highest level of personalized service for each guest. The goal is to do everything to make the guests’ stay a warm and memorable experience.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We booked this hotel because it within walking distance of the old town, which is traffic free. Also we could take taxis to restaurants outside Split old town and it is overlooking the ferry port for trips to the beautiful nearby islands such as Brac & Hvar by either fast catamarans or slower cheaper ferries We stayed for 2 weeks from end of May to early June. Our room was a Comfort type with a sea view and a small balcony. It had king size bed, coffee facilities, a small safe for valuables in the wardrobe and plenty of storeage place ( we asked for extra hangers and pillows). The bathroom was modern with a combined bath and shower. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and hotel was very clean and our bedding and towels were all changed each day. In the basement there was a fully equiped fitness room, a jacuzzi and a sauna. The hotel was very clean and modern. The only criticism was the breakfast because the food was generally very cold, the coffee machine only warm, the toaster jammed, eggs were hard boiled, cold pancakes, they ran out of fruit jogurt & muesli and had minmal fresh fruit. They need a small microwave to heat food. I complained to Irma the General Manager and she arranged that Natelie, who was serving in the breahfast room and very nice & helpful, look after our requirements better, but these small issues could easily be resolved, since we heard many guests muttering about the breakfast problems. All in all, we would highly recommend this hotel inspite of the poor breakfast
Great hotel, super central and wonderfully clean. Good sized room and bathroom overlooking rooftops down to the front. Breakfast was ok, if a little basic.
Pros: Clean Outside of the old town craziness but close enough to walk
Cons: This is a 3 start hotel at best. The “jacuzzi” was cold. The towels are napkin size They would run out of breakfast items early in the buffet hours The staff was unhelpful. I asked for more towels and was told no. No outlet in the bathroom I arrived in the middle of the day and no one was working the desk. I had to wait for them to return from what looked like grocery shopping.
Really disappointed. The hotel is in a great location near the old town and the welcome we received was lovely and polite. Had a comfy room which was clean with a large balcony. All good so far….
But the breakfast is pretty poor. An awful cheap coffee machine, little welcome, and not great selection. The gym (see photo) is terrible with few bits of equipment - no running machine but just an old fashioned exercise bike.
What really annoyed in this 4 star hotel is the response to asking for my water bottle to be filled so I could go use the gym. Was told they did not do this, to pay 4 euros for the mini bar water or use water from the bathroom.
There is also no bar service or restaurant if you seek that. No idea why this is a 4 star hotel.
The best part of this hotel is the location. Room had a nice view and little balcony which was nice. Convenient to port and old town but other than that it’s lacking charm and my room smelled like sewage which I was told “can happen and can’t be predicted.” Overpriced in my opinion.
