Central Pearl by Nono Ban Rooms

The room is very clean and beautiful. The location. It’s Perfect. It’s near everything. The ferry and the bus station. It’s only nine Minutes walking downtown. It’s only 12 minutes walking. It’s Quiet and you can sleep well. I highly recommend this place. I also recommend you should send a message on WhatsApp on the phone number that appears on the app for faster response. I think the host and their team for all the support, and great Service.

After having a booking with an alternative apartment cancelled by the hosts at last minute (2 weeks before travelling to Split!!) we had to frantically search for new accommodation, and I’m so glad we stumbled across Central Pearl! The name certainly reflects how we felt about this place. Before travelling, the hosts contacted us to ask if we needed a transfer from the airport (which we declined) and what time we would be arriving. First off, the location was absolutely perfect; only a 5 minute walk from the Riva, Diocletian’s Palace and the Bus Station, and about a 15 minute walk to Bačvice Beach. There was also a convenience store at the end of the street which was super handy! When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff (unfortunately we didn’t catch her name) who gave us a business card with the code to enter the building and a phone number to call if we needed anything. We didn’t actually see any other members of staff after this until we checked out, but our rooms were made up everyday by housekeepers. The rooms are not the largest, but certainly not cramped at all and absolutely spotless, as well as being very tastefully decorated. We were also very impressed with the bathroom (again, spotless), which had a walk in rainfall shower as well as a detachable shower head, both of which were very powerful. There was also a mini fridge and hairdryer provided, as well as a very effective air con. The TV did not have any signal from the aerial but Netflix was available and logged in ready to use (not sure if this was left logged in by previous guests or the hosts). The only downside to this accommodation is the noise from the road outside, as it is situated on the main road down to the Riva/bus station/port and is very busy at all times of day/night. Unfortunately even with the windows closed it was still very loud, but in fairness to Central Pearl they provided ear plugs for both of us to use which were very effective at blocking the noise out so we still slept well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Central Pearl and would happily come back again without any hesitation, as well as recommending it to everyone!

Great stay, very clean and everything I needed for a short stay when I would be out exploring most of the time! More of an apartment block than a hotel but not a problem for me, access was simple and didn’t mind nobody being around when I entered and exited. Good location for old town and port to catch ferries. I arrived late and organised a transfer with the hotel - taxi driver Alan was really friendly and helpful and a great first impression of the people of Croatia! Knocked a star off for the the facilities as I found the safe wasn't attached in the wardrobe. It wasn’t super heavy or large so you could’ve just picked it up and walked away with it…
