Das Eigentum — Hurricane hostel
Hurricane Hostel is a no-frills, budget-friendly base in central Split. The lobby is compact, with a small reception desk, a few chairs, and a noticeboard of local tours—functional rather than flashy. It mainly attracts backpackers and young travellers who want a clean dorm or private room within walking distance of Diocletian's Palace and the ferry port. The terrace is where people gather for a drink and trip planning, not for a quiet night in; bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
Chroniken von Split
Split grew around Diocletian's Palace, built by the Roman emperor for his retirement in AD 305. After the Romans left, the palace walls became the core of a medieval town as locals moved inside for protection. The city later fell under Venetian, then Austro-Hungarian, rule, each leaving architectural layers behind. Today, Split is a lively transport hub for the Dalmatian coast, mixing Roman ruins, Venetian Gothic facades, and modern cafes. Its identity is built on tourism, ferries, and a strong café culture that spills into the old stone squares.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Split-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, and September: warm enough for swimming and sightseeing, but with fewer crowds than July and August. Hotel rates are lower, and the city feels more relaxed.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August. Split is packed with cruise ship passengers and holidaymakers. Hotel prices double or triple from shoulder-season levels. The main drivers are school holidays and the Ultra Europe electronic music festival (usually early July), which turns the city into a party zone.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and September to early October. You'll find room discounts of 30-50% versus peak summer. The sea is still swimmable in September, and queues at the palace and ferry are far shorter.
Wetter & Verpackung
July in Split is consistently hot and dry, with a strong afternoon sun and a cooling sea breeze near the coast—but no rain. Pack a sun hat, high-factor sunscreen, light layers for evening, and sturdy sandals, not just flip-flops, as the worn Roman stone and marble in the old town is very slippery.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Split
- The main Riva promenade and Diocletian's Palace are undergoing phased repaving work in summer 2026; some sections are fenced off and loud during the day, but night access is unaffected.
- A new direct ferry line from Split to Hvar started in June 2026, cutting the journey to 45 minutes—book tickets online to avoid queues.
- The city council has banned new short-term rental licenses in the historic centre from 2025, but existing ones like Hurricane Hostel are unaffected.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hurricane hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard (away from Zagrebačka ulica). Upper floors minimise street-level bustle and the courtyard side is quieter than the front. The hostel may have a small balcony or window on that side, which is worth asking for.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor at the front of the hotel. Ground-floor rooms directly on Zagrebačka ulica will get tram noise, late-night foot traffic from nearby bars, and headlights from passing cars. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor – the lift motor can be audible late at night.
Best views
Front-facing upper floors (3rd-4th) have a view of the busy street and some rooftops, but nothing special. Rear courtyard views are peaceful – typically looking onto neighbours' gardens or a small terrace. No sea view from this location.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 are the quietest – furthest from street level and any ground-floor common areas. The 4th floor is typically top-floor (if no lift to 5th), so no overhead footsteps. Request a courtyard-facing room on these floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Zagrebačka ulica is a main road with trams, cars and scooters running until midnight. Taxi drop-off outside and groups of tourists heading to the old town (5 min walk) create chatter. The hostel entrance is directly on the street, so doors opening and closing add noise on lower floors. No air-con reported – so windows will be open, amplifying street sound.
Insider tips
1. Ask at check-in for a room key that works the side entrance (if the hostel has one) – this avoids the main street door noise if you come back late. 2. Park your car in the public garage at the south end of Zagrebačka – the hostel has no dedicated parking, but that garage is secure and a 2-minute walk away. 3. Request a small fridge for your room – the hostel doesn't advertise them, but they sometimes have portable units for top-floor guests.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Split
💡 Bring a book or picnic from Pazar and sit on the far eastern end near the fish market, where locals outnumber tourists. Avoid paying 30 kuna for a coffee at front-row cafes—walk one street inland for half the price.
💡 Buy a bag of sour plums (višnje) and almonds for a cheap snack. Haggle only if buying in bulk—locals pay listed prices. Best visited before 11am when produce is freshest.
💡 Enter through the Bronze Gate from the waterfront for a dramatic view under the vaults. Go early (before 9am) to avoid crowds.
💡 Walk up the 500 steps from Sustipan for a quieter route than the main road. Take a swim at Kašjuni beach on the western side—free and less busy than Bačvice.
💡 From the fortress, walk downhill slightly to a restaurant above the quarry to see the dragon skulls left from filming. Take bus 22 from the main station (10 kuna).
