I was delighted with the woderful peaceful place for rest at the very hearth of the city. The sraff was also absolutely friendly and full of positive energy with an easy going mediteranian style.

Have to say I wasn't very impressed with this hostel. For what they charge i would have expected to have a kitchen and better bathing facilities. There is a fridge and two small stoves but not enough to cook a meal...or easily make a hot drink. there is a very good common room wth TV and comfortable sofas. Overall though I'd say the hostel just cram as many people in as possible without much consideration of comfort. The shower room was the biggest annoyance - three (mixed) showers with glass tiles in between them (yes, glass tiles so people can see each other showering) and very thin shower curtains = no privacy. Also, the showers were cold when we used them after coming back from the beach. But on the plus side, the staff were very friendly and helpful (especially when m camera was taken and I had to find a police station) - the girl on reception immediately phoned the police and explained what I had to do.

Our room was promised to us at 2pm, (2 hours after check in) but we didnt get into our room until after 5pm! When we checked out at 10am two days later, they told us we couldnt sit in the common room for too long as it was for hostel guests only!!! Staff were rude.

A bit expensive for dorm, on other hand Split is expensive.. Location is really good. Some minor negative things like broken light in bathroom, broken washing mashine and unlock doors for everyone (some strange noises in the middle of the night, like someone banging the doors and walls). Also if you plan to check out early, don't count on staff to be there in 10 minutes. For us it took 1.5 hours. But mainly a ok place. Ps. notice that this hostel obeys also names "best hostel" and "adriatica mare" :P

The decore and atmosphere in the hostel is very nice, but we found many problems with this place. Firstly there are no keys and the front door to the building and hostel are permenantly open, making it very unsecure. Also there are only 3 showers for the whole hostel, which are mixed sex, and have completely transparent shower curtains, so there is no privacy! Finally, the people which run the hostel never switch the hot water on, so we never had a warm shower the whole time we stayed here.

The hostel was central to Split, but it was located in a quiet area. The lady at check in gave us very helpful information about every aspect of our stay. The rooms were tidy and the facilities clean. The only aspect that could have been improved were the communal showers that were shared with both men and women. There was no way to shower in privacy. In addition, the shower curtains and showers were transparent.

It was a great place and in a great location the only thing is that if you share the showers there is not much privacy and it is mixed... other than that its a great stay for the money...

It had internet upstairs which was reasonably priced, I think 6 Kuna for an hour. Good location, right in the city centre, although it's pretty hard not to be, cos Split is so small! Pretty clean. Liked the common room for chilling out and chatting to people. Small balcony good for drying your clothes, although opened directly into our room so was noisy at night if people out there and you're trying to sleep. Also meant not as much privacy.

We liked the nice colors of each room. It was cool to have those coach with the international TV. The only one problem is that we don't have any key so everybody (even strangers) can come in the hostel when they want to.

Good hostel but massively understaffed. There was no one there at check out and wasn't going to be for a while so I lost my key deposit.

Nice location but staff were non existent, they were late in the morning for check in and people needing to check out missed there trains. Showers were cold and it was quite expensive for what it was.

We arrived at the hostel to find the hostel had overbooked and had not been keeping up with emails from hostelbookers etc. We were told we would be taken to better more expensive accomodation instead of the dorm we originally booked. In fact we were taken to a disgusting place, really not worth what we had paid. There were beds in the kitchen next to the fridge, no hot water, mattresses on the floor, holes in the roof etc we went back to complain and were given a slight refund but not enough. the second night we got to stay in the dorm we orginally booked. The hostel had freezing cold, ICE cold showers all the time!!! other than that was an ok stay.
