Ivan Dolac Holidays

Date of stay 29 September 2025 for two nights. The property is pretty much as you'd expect from the website details and you download check-in instructions before arrival. I arrived 15 minutes early and the hosts were still getting the apartment ready for me, they were all friendly and one lives next door. Communication was a small problem but nothing that can't be solved with a translator app. They supplied most things I needed like toiletries and detergent for the washing machine but tea and coffee were not, although to their credit they did give me some coffee when I asked. The bed was quite comfortable. Some local supermarkets are a short walk or drive away as is a bus stop which will get you into Split in 20-30 minutes. Beware that traffic can be very bad on the main road and also the road parallel to it where the property is situated inbetween. The only criticisms I have are: - There is no barbeque grill as advertised. - Shower was a bit mouldy around the inside base. - Shower head does not fit holder, which itself is broken and held together with tape. Overall it's a decent and relatively clean place situated in a quiet area and good value for money.

I stayed in one of several ground floor (actually semi-basement) rooms that opened directly off the relatively quiet street. Noise was a major issue. This was for three reasons: (1) a window facing street and hidden outside by shutters and inside by curtains behind desk was left ajar. Closing it required moving desk, and a shorter person would have needed to stand on a chair. (2) Noise travelled from floor above easily - everything from footsteps to phone conversation was audible at 2am. (3) During heavy rain, the gutters somehow ran internally above the bathroom ceiling creating an echo chamber of dripping water noises! The front desk was not open for all of the advertised hours. I only stayed because I got three nights for price of two and location was conveniently close to the old town but not on busiest strips.

Excellent small hotel. Quirky room with heritage features. Staff were great, bed was comfortable. Well positioned for Diocletians palace. Only minor issue was that the partially underground breakfast room needs some more lights.
