Das Eigentum — Room Palma
Room Palma is a clean, no-fuss three-star in the Varos district, a five-minute walk from Diocletian's Palace. The lobby is small and tiled, with a receptionist who'll hand you a key and a map without fuss — functional, not flashy. The USP is location: it sits on a quieter cobbled street with a handful of local bars and bakeries, ideal for travellers who want Split's old town on foot but a bed that doesn't cost a fortune. Suits couples or solo visitors who spend all day out exploring and just need a solid, secure base.
Chroniken von Split
Split grew up around Diocletian's Palace, a vast Roman retirement complex built around 300 AD for the emperor himself. After the Slavs arrived in the 7th century, townspeople moved inside the palace walls, carving homes, shops and churches directly into the ancient stone — meaning the old town is literally a repurposed Roman monument. The city later passed through Venetian, Austrian and Yugoslav hands, each leaving a layer of Venetian Gothic, Baroque and socialist-era concrete along the waterfront. Today Split is Croatia's second city, a ferry hub for the Dalmatian islands and a place where Roman arches sit next to gelato stands without a hint of irony.

May, June and September: warm enough for swimming (sea temps hit 22-25°C), full sunshine but without July-August crowds. The old town is busy but still walkable, and prices at hotels like Room Palma are lower than peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the absolute peak: Split's population swells with cruise-ship day-trippers, ferry traffic for Hvar and Brač, and the Ultra Europe music festival (usually early-mid July). Hotel prices double or triple; a standard double at Room Palma in July 2026 will likely be €150-200 a night, compared to €80-100 in May.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, October and early November: cheaper rates (think €60-80 for Room Palma), milder but still pleasant weather (15-22°C), far fewer tourists. Bars and restaurants stay open, but you'll need a jacket for evenings.
Wetter & Verpackung
Split's climate is Mediterranean with a twist: summer afternoons can roast at 35°C, but evenings often get a sudden cool bora wind off the mountains. Pack a light fleece or linen jacket for evenings, and always carry a reusable water bottle — public drinking fountains are everywhere but tap water is safe and free.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Split
- The Riva waterfront promenade is undergoing partial repaving in early 2026, with completion expected by May — so the main strip should be fully open by July, but check for temporary café seating layouts.
- Split Airport (SPU) added a direct Ryanair route from London Stansted starting April 2026, making budget travel easier for UK visitors.
- The city council introduced a new tourist tax of €2 per person per night for 2026, payable on arrival at Room Palma — bring small change for cash, though most hotels now accept card.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Room Palma, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard (rear of the building). These avoid street noise and have consistent lift access.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing Ulica Ćirila i Metoda — that's a narrow but busy pedestrian street with early-morning foot traffic and deliveries from nearby cafés.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms (3rd & 4th) facing the courtyard get partial views of the old town roofscape. Street-facing rooms see Diocletian's Palace walls but with continuous foot traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-4 are quietest; concrete construction minimizes neighbour noise, but the lift shaft can carry sound further up.
🔊 Noise notes
Ulica Ćirila i Metoda is a pedestrianised lane linking the Riva promenade to the Palace's Silver Gate. Expect chatter from tour groups and restaurant supply vans before 8am. The hotel bar closes at 11pm, but no nightclub nearby.
Insider tips
1) Request a room on the courtyard side at booking — cheaper than the 'city-view' upgrade and far quieter. 2) The lift is small (fits 2 people + luggage); if you're mobility-sensitive, ask for 2nd floor, not ground (reception is 1st floor European style).
- 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).
