Comfortable stay in the heart of old town

Amazingly warm and helpful host in this place. :) Staying was comfortable and even though it is located in the heart of the old town, did not hear any noise from the streets. Room was clean and nice.

Lovely, kind host, gave us fresh lemonade and melon on arrival on the beautiful terrace. Stayed here for two nights either side of our trip and both rooms were clean, cool and quiet. V good location in the middle of the bustling old town with a 10 min walk to bus station and ferry port. Would definitely stay here again.

Malena is lovely and attentive. Exceptionally clean and a nice bathroom which isn’t always the case in these tiny places. It’s in the place central area and hard to find. Also she has no way to accept payment except cash. I did not pay Expedia site ahead of time and had to go to ATM to get cash. This should be stated on the website along with 5 flights of stairs to walk up.

Liked: Cleanliness
Malena was lovely and accommodated our early check in, and even made us some lemonade! She kindly gave us some recommendations of things to do. The room, while clean, was *really* small - perfect for 1 person, but way too tight for two. The tv was not working. She invited us to use her terrace, which was up a flight of stairs to her space, and featured a pretty view of the bell tower and a lovingly tended garden. We had some difficulty finding it, and the entrance and stairwell up were decrepit looking - lots of stairs, so not recommended for less able bodied people.

Convenient lovely smaller hotel in a very walkable and safe area that is itself the heart of Split.

Had wonderful stay at the Malena Palace. Room was large, brand new, and spotless. Location is perfect, in the middle of everything. And the hostess Malena was so friendly and very helpful. We would stay again !! Just a tip, when you get to the door to the apartments (small sign that says Malena Palace), ring the doorbell and Malena will open the door and greet you and take you to your apartment.

Marlena palace was a fantastic place to stay. My husband and I were there for two nights before a cruise and were very happy with our stay. It’s a little tricky to find- through the posidion restaurant side alley and then up the stairs- but everything in split is tricky to find :). Only three rooms at this hotel, big rooms and clean, great air conditioning, rooftop patio. Right in the Center of of the walled city. I highly recommend staying there.
