La propriété — Simple Hostel
Simple Hostel in Split is a no-frills, central base for travellers who prioritise budget and location over comfort. The lobby is a bright, modern space with a reception desk and a small seating area, but the vibe is functional rather than sociable. It suits backpackers or anyone wanting to walk straight from the bus station to Diocletian's Palace without spending much.
Chroniques de Split
Split was founded in the 4th century AD when Roman emperor Diocletian built his retirement palace on the Dalmatian coast. After the Romans left, the palace became a medieval town, and its walls now enclose a lively warren of shops, bars and homes. The city grew under Venetian, Habsburg and Yugoslav rule, each leaving layers of architecture. Today, Split is a major ferry hub and a gateway to the Adriatic islands, with a youthful energy driven by its university and tourism.

Guide complet de Split →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September: warm, sunny weather with fewer crowds than July and August, plus lower prices on accommodation and ferries.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are the peak months, driven by school holidays and the Ultra Europe electronic music festival in mid-July (10–12 July 2026). Hotel prices double or triple, and the old town becomes shoulder-to-shoulder.
La saison des épaules
April and October offer discounts of 30–50% on rooms, mild temperatures (15–20°C) and quiet streets, though some island ferries run reduced schedules.
Météo & Emballage
Split has a Mediterranean climate, but summer days are hot (30°C+) and can be interrupted by sudden thunderstorms. Pack light, breathable clothing, a sunhat, and a lightweight waterproof jacket.
Briefing de la ville — Split
- The main promenade (Riva) is undergoing partial pavement renewal from spring 2026, with some café terraces closed until July.
- New direct flights from London and Berlin to Split Airport start in June 2026, adding more tourist capacity.
- A new pedestrian zone on Marmontova Street restricts cars after 10am to ease crowding near the market.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Simple Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard. These floors are above street level but below any potential rooftop terrace noise, and the courtyard side cuts down road noise from the main street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street. The hostel's Split address means the front likely faces a busy road or pedestrian zone, with late-night foot traffic and occasional vehicle rumble. Also skip rooms directly next to the reception or common area doors to dodge chatter and door slams.
Best views
From a 2nd- or 3rd-floor room facing the courtyard, you'll get a calm view of neighbours' rooftops and maybe a sliver of sky. Street-facing rooms see the Split action, but that comes with noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest. They're high enough to reduce street-level disturbance but not so high you'd hear any rooftop activity or machinery.
🔊 Noise notes
Split's old-town streets are largely pedestrianised but still busy with tour groups, cafe chatter, and evening revellers until late. The hostel's address on a main street means morning delivery trucks and scooters too.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, park at Split's public underground garage in the city centre (about 20 kn/hour) — Simple Hostel won't have its own parking. 2. Request a room on the courtyard side during booking; it's often quieter, especially in summer when windows stay open.
- 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

Monnaie & Monnaie
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or bus station — poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted; contactless and mobile pay common in shops, restaurants, and taxis; cash still needed for some markets and small kiosks.
Round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% if service good); leave small change for taxis; tip hotel staff a few euros for help with bags or room cleaning.

A bakery slice of pizza or burek and a drink from a pekarnica is about €5-6.
A main of grilled fish or meat at a konoba (tavern) off the main strip runs €12-18.
Look for bakeries (pekarnice) and small pizza slices along the Riva and narrow alleys behind the promenade.
Studenac and Tommy are common budget supermarket chains in Split.
Head to the City Centre One mall or the Poljud market for affordable high street brands and local stalls.
A day pass for city buses costs around €5; from the airport, take the local bus (line 37) to the bus station for €4 instead of the more expensive shuttle.
Self-cater from supermarkets like Studenac; avoid eating/drinking directly on the Riva where prices are higher; use the free walking tour for historical insight, then tip what you feel it's worth.

Principales attractions à 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).
