Makarun Heritage Rooms

This is an intimate 5-room establishment situated amidst the alleys of the Old Town, hence cars cannot drop passengers at the doorstep. Easy enough to catch a shuttle bus for EUR 8 from the airport to the bus station at the port, from which a Makarun staff will meet you and assist you with your luggage to the hotel, a 10-minute walk away. Breakfast is a la carte, as is to be expected for such a small establishment, comprising 3 courses - pastry/toast, eggs of your choice with cold cuts, and a dessert, complemented by tea coffee and/or juice. Food was more than adequate in terms of quantity and quality. My room was comfortable enough, though 2 issues were noticeable: * Instead of a flat cotton bed sheet, there was a fitted sheet made of what seemed like jersey, and looked more like a mattress protector.This was pilled and coarse, in contrast to the far smoother cotton quilt cover. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they explained that this is standard for the hotel. Whilst it did not affect the quality of my sleep, the coarseness of the sheet wasn't entirely pleasant * In the bathroom, the shower was mounted at waist height, hence one either had to hold the shower in one hand, or, if there was a need to use both hands to wash, then one would have to crouch under the shower while it was in its holder. Not particularly convenient. Overall a comfortable stay in a convenient location, enhanced by the friendly and solicitous Ivan and Mario.

A small but excellent hotel. The room was large, newly renovated and well fitted out. The host and concierge were very helpful and gave us recommendations on things to see and do, as well as restaurant recommendations. They have their own restaurant which had excellent service and the included breakfast was good too. Split is a lovely city with lots of history as well as shops restaurants and cafes.

Just arrived home from a fabulous short stay at this hotel. The personal attention from all the staff and management was amazing, everyone was so helpful and professional. Ivan met us at our taxi drop off, collected our luggage and gave us an introduction to the hotel and the City over a beer. The staff at breakfast were wonderful (as was the breakfast itself) and Mario even arranged a small wine tasting with matched foods for us and some friends which went down amazingly well. The hotel itself is in an amazing location within the old town and the room and the facilities were first rate. Overall we couldn't find a single fault and we would highly recommend this hidden gem.
