Marvie Hotel

"We stayed at Marvie hotel for a short break with a group of friends. It is a 20 minute walk along the coast to the old town. The hotel is modern , clean and beautiful and bedroom spacious with amazing views over the sea. The even meal and breakfast were plentiful and well prepared. The reception staff friendly, helpful and professional. I will definitely stay at Marvie again on my next visit to Split."

"Stayed two night (booked by Riviera Travel, not us) after a lovely 7 day cruise up Adriatic coast. Hotel reception put just one receptionist for the arrival of 36 guests on a coach, so wasn't too impressed....no welcome to the hotel, just name, here's your key....and the silent... "next, go away please" feeling. We'd emailed the hotel [& Riviera Travel] weeks prior, to say it was our 33rd wedding anniversary on the second night, it would be great to have a room with a view, from floor 4 upwards. We got no acknowledgment and got a 1st floor room....looking at the car park at the back of the hotel. Other guests [now new cruise friends] were randomly given huge jacuzzi , lounge , balcony rooms but had not booked them, just luck. It sucked. The good bits; Spa, pool, steam / sauna / calm room and loungers are all very nice places to relax. The breakfast is great, the waitress in the mornings was excellent. The rooms are clean, well equipped, air conditioned. The weather wasn't good for a swim in the infinity rooftop pool sadly, but looked nice, albeit small area. The not so good, and the reason I would not book again, was the general staff attitude towards guests was "you are a pain in the butt, what do you want now". To give you specific, there were the two same evening dinner waiters for our stay. One, smiled, helpful, great. The other "Mr Grumpus" (we were on a table of 6]. The soup came with no sunflower seed topping as stated on the menu....ask waiter to produce some, he said "its how the chef sent if, walked off, ignored us for 15 mins. The main courses arrive, no parmesan cheese for the pasta dishes, he was asked for some, walked off, ignored us for 15 mins....my wife's main course was pork tenderloin medallions and all three pieces were raw inside. He took it away silently, returned when most of us had finished our main courses, but to the chef's credit, he said her meal would be free, so we accepted it, just a shame care, attention and service was provided in the first place. The hotel is a 30 min [not very pleasant walk from Split central] so if I were you, and you have a choice. BOOK ELSEWHERE, they don't deserve your hard earned cash."

"There for just a couple of nights as part of our tour and was surprised how pleasant it was. It lies outside of the old part of Split, that area being a 30 minute walk away but which was not a drawback as we are fairly fit. The hotel is fairly modern and has a pleasant reception area, restaurant, bar and sun terrace. There are also two pools - an indoor and a roof top one, the former also offering a jacuzzi and steam room and which my wife used and enjoyed. The bedroom had basically everything we wanted though the shower ‘power’ could have been better. We did not have dinner in the hotel restaurant on the first night as it was fully booked so made do with a ‘hotel bar meal’ which we enjoyed. However, we did have use of the restaurant for our breakfast, this being a buffet with a multitude of choices and which we thoroughly enjoyed. Ambiance within the hotel was good as were the staff we encountered. Well worth staying there"
