72 Steps to room

They were modern, clean and updated. Mostly though the shower was excellent!

This was not a problem for me, but others might have a problem with the walk up situation.

Fabulous location, newly refurbished.

Paying in cash can be a headache if you are not told beforehand.

Very good location close to the old town, sea, bus station, restaurants. Room was modern and beautifully renovated. Sanja and Tina are just great and helpful, felt like friends! Breakfast was a nice extra. Highly recommend.

Very good customer service, good advice from the manager about things to see, where to eat, etc... Room clean, recently renovated I guess, modern and trendy.

A light moisture smell in the room (butnot unsual in most hotels in Croatia... I don'T know why), but don't worry too much about that. Noise from the corridor, insonorisation should be improved. But no noise from the outside.

The staff The location

The quality of the interior design/furniture/fabrics did not meet our expectations. The ambiance of the room was not "luxurious" at all. The so called breakfast was served at a restaurant near by. This was the worst breakfast that we have ever had. Frankly speaking it was disgusting and not edible. On top of this the staff was rude.

Both the staff and the accommodation were excellent. A little expensive at 175 euro per night but at peak season this was ceratoinly a much higher standard of accommodation than was being offered elsewhere for even greater prices. I'd recommend these rooms to anyone who is looking for assured quality. Also...your questionaire does not cover all possible options of 'couples' and does not allow 'other'. My partner (28 years old) and I (53 years old)...what category????...mature couple? young couple??...neither?

Staff were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. I would say they went above and beyond to meet me and help with my luggage and orientation of the hotel and the city. Lovely clean room with great facilities. It is all brand new so high standard to the entire room. There was also great flexibility with arrival and departure which is always appreciated.

I think some people won't like that there are stairs. But I didn't mind at all, nice touch to help with luggage.

Nicely designed rooms and close walking distance to everything

Having to walk up 3 flights of stairs and small size of room

Sanja, the owner/manager and her assistant, Tina are very efficient, helpful and charming.The location is wxcwllwnt, just a few yards from the main entrance to the old city, but very quiet. The rooms were recently redecorated in excellent taste, comfortable, with good air- conditioning, free WiFi. A safe and fridge. Will happily revisit without looking for alternatives! Ilan

The rooms are on the top floor (3rd) with no elevator, however, Sanja provided for taxi service from the airport and lower rate than commercial taxis and with help with getting the luggage from the taxi to our room, as well as on departure.

Air-conditioned, comfortable, clean, great bathrooms, helpful staff

La Porta suited us. It is 15yards from the Silver Gate leading into the beautiful Roman walled city of Split. Yes there are a number of steps leading to the rooms and there is no reception but when we arrived all we did was ask one of the stall holders outside the appartment 'La Porta?' And he rang a number and within seconds someone appeared by motorbike and took our bags up for us, opened our room and behold in front of us was this lovely compact modern appartment. The bottom line is if all you need is somewhere close to the port and The Palce this was perfect.Its also within easy walking distance to the Airport Shuttle buses and a quarter of a mile from Splits main beach. Litteraly around the corner is the fruit/veg market and for the provided breakfast all you do is go through the Silver Gate turn left where there is a delightful hotel built into the Roman wall where you have your breakfas outside. Close your eyes, listen to the bells ringing and the swifts/swallows zooming down and you could be wearing a toga.To us it was that good.

The staff was amazing. Because the hotel is on a street that does not allow cars, they met our driver at the ferry port and carried our bags up to the hotel which is on the 5th floor. The walk took about 3 min. The room was very modern and newly renovated, but a tad small, only 27 sq meters. This didn't bother us though as we didn't spend much time in our room. We opted for a room with a balcony which makes the room seem bigger and the view was great overlooking the harbor and a gate from the old palace.

I didn't mind the being on the 5th floor with no elevator, but some people might. I drank enough beer that I needed the exercise.

Superb hotel at a very heart of Split.

The stairs are a bit odd as well as b&b places as neighbours in the same house :)

The staff was amazing. They offered to pick us up because the sobe is on a pedistrian only street. Our American phone didn't work in Croatia so I walked there and my husband parked somewhere illegally. Within 10 minutes, they had a driver ready to show us where their parking lot was and to drive us back to our room. Who also carried our bags up to our room. Great breakfast. We were leaving our car in their parking lot for two days after we checked out and despite the fact that we had already checked out, they took our suitcase to our car and brought us a couple things from our car that we had forgotten. The room was very nice. Very quiet even though it is in a very noisy corner, aka the middle of Split. Beautiful room and bathroom.

Just that it was quite expensive for a sobe. It is still definently a sobe and not a hotel. They only have five rooms and it is on the fifth floor of an old building with no elevator. Quite a climb. There are no hotel amenities. Which is fine but it is hotel prices not sobe prices. This was by far the most expensive place we stayed on our trip, but also the nicest.
