Seaview Luxury Retreat

Highlight is definitely the view – absolutely stunning and exactly as advertised. Location convenient, with easy walk to restaurants, cafés and Split’s Old Town (Diocletian’s Palace area). Pros: • Amazing sea views & great location. • Efficient air conditioning. • Easy check-in process, particularly if arranging airport transfers through the host. • Full kitchen with oven, induction cooktop & dishwasher. Cons: • Cleanliness was disappointing. Found dirty dishes and utensils left in the dishwasher, some with mould present. As a result, we washed all crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils before use. • The kitchen could be better equipped. Only two of the provided pots were compatible with the induction cooktop and there was no frying pan available, making simple cooking difficult. • No dishwasher tablets were provided despite a dishwasher being available. • Beds were comfortable, however only one style of pillow was provided. We found them quite firm and smaller than standard-sized pillows, with no alternatives available. • The shower featured both a rain head and handheld option, however the shower base leaked during use. • Noise may be an issue for light sleepers. Traffic noise, motorbikes and late-night street activity could be heard from the apartment. While double glazing is installed, the window seals did not appear to block outside noise effectively. Important note: The address listed on Booking.com is not the actual entry point to the accommodation. Access is from the rear of the building, which has a different street address. This caused confusion for our onward transfer and unfortunately resulted in us missing our scheduled pickup. Clearer instructions regarding the access point would have been helpful. Overall, fantastic views and a convenient location, but improvements to cleanliness, kitchen equipment and noise reduction would significantly enhance the guest experience.

Location

Hand towel ring became unattached, TV did not work, shower access was very limited.

The location was fantastic. The balcony and the view is what you pay for.

The noise at night. Lots of cars racing in the street below. I slept well with ear plugs in! But my husband could not sleep well. It is just a room, not an apartment as no kitchen sink,etc. However, we didn’t need that but some people may think it’s an apartment with a kitchen,etc.

Room itself was clean and new. Air conditioning worked pretty well.

Be aware that this is not a hotel, it's essentially an airbnb. The check in process was strange. There's no front desk or lobby, you wait outside and someone sends you a WhatsApp message and comes and meets you to let you in. You also have to walk through some dark and gross hallways and up 4 flights of stairs to get to the room. Also, if we didn't leave the bathroom window open, the room smelled very musty.
