Hotel Park Split

"We stayed here two nights, a historic but refurbished hotel. The room was large, clean, comfortable and the hotel is only a short walk from the historic town center and overlooks the water. Bathroom was modern and clean. First class stay."

"I will start with the positive. The hotel is located in a very nice part of Split opposite a beach and part of the Dalmatian coastline. There are several quite nice small restaurants close by and hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the far busier old town of Split which has Diocletian's Palace and interesting alleys and lane-ways winding through fairly tasteful tourist shops and restaurants. The hotel's outside terrace and pool are quite attractive and it was pleasant to sit outside on a late summer night for a drink. However there were many features of this hotel which were quite poor. The staff, while nice when you could find someone, were virtually non existent. We wandered into the breakfast room in the mornings and were left to fend for ourselves with no staff present to let us know if we needed to order or whether it was just a buffet. We found the buffet very limited with little choice and a fairly stale selection of breads, pastries etc. The food at the restaurant in the evening was also very mediocre with the waiter almost insisting we order the fish which we found underwhelming. We had a room at the back of the hotel with an uninspiring view. If you had a room at the front of the hotel it may have been more pleasant. The room was dark and overcrowded with heavy dysfunctional furniture. Whoever designed the bathroom needs a refresher at design school. While it is not uncommon to have bathtub showers in some older European hotels, it was impossible not to have the shower spray water all over the bathroom floor and onto the toilet which was directly next to the shower. We had to lay several towels all over the floor to soak up the deluge each time we had a shower. The towels have clearly done long and faithful service but really need to move into retirement. While I understand the need for sustainable energy policies the hotel corridors had sensor lights which kept the corridors in the dark until the sensors picked up movement which often took a minute or so before the lights went on. It was like a scene from the Haunted Hotel. The hallways and stairs had some carpet stains and the overall impression is that the hotel needs serious renovation. On the few occasions when we came across cleaning staff they displayed a surly and unwelcoming attitude. We stayed at several wonderful hotels during out central European trip but this was the only hotel which we rated poorly."

"We were here for two days as part of a group tour. The hotel is a short walk from the old town/attractions. We had room 207 and had some peek-a-boo views of the water/ Bacvice Beach across the street. The room was well appointed with definitely space to unpack both of our large suitcases. The bathroom had all the amenities along with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion."
