I just wrapped up a fabulous 5-night stay at Riva Palace, nestled right in the heart of Diocletian's Palace. The location is a total dream, and I adored the modern and spacious room I had, complete with all the amenities I could want. The only minor drawback was that I encountered some stairs, which could be a challenge for those with lots of luggage. Still, I'd go back in a heartbeat!

The place is a bit more like a guest house, so don’t expect a full hotel vibe. But the amenities, like the AC and coffee machine, worked great.

I had an very nice stay at Riva Palace. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Diocletian's Palace and close to everything in Split. Simona, the host, was absolutely amazing, always ready to help and provide great recommendations. My only minor hiccup was the lack of an elevator, but that’s to be expected in such a historic building. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

The hotel offers convenient services like an airport shuttle and housekeeping, but with only four rooms, it really feels more like a guesthouse.
