PRIMA Life Spalato

The hotel is located on the third floor of a shopping mall with only 10 rooms and located in the heart of the city. You have to enter the shopping mall to find the hotel. We selected the Deluxe Suite, City View room that included 1 very comfy king bed, a double sofa bed, and an infant crib at a rate of only $56. We were in room no. 311. It was lovely modern room, spacious, clean, and the view of the old town was spectacular. The private bathroom was spacious, immaculate, and perfect. We had a comfy king size bed with a sofa bed that Dominic slept on. The hotel confirmed a Pack n Play would be available for our baby to sleep. The staff were friendly, professional, and provided valuable tourist information about Split. The main reasons we selected this hotel was because of its location to the old town, the spectacular view, and the price could not be beat. The hotel was only a 4 minute walk from the Gregory of Nin Statue, a 5 minute walk to the Diocleatian's Palace and Cathedral of Saint Dominus, a 13 minute walk to the Port of Split, and the Split Marina was only 21 minutes. Available amenities included: a coffee shop/cafe, self parking (a huge perk!), airport shuttle, 24-hour front desk, air conditioning, front desk safe, self-serve laundry, multi-lingual staff, luggage storage, and free WiFi. The rooms included free cribs (a necessity while traveling with an infant), a refrigerator, private bathroom, and free toiletries.

Great location, walking distance to all of Splits tourist areas, public buses, port. The staff was excellent and helpful and the hotel is spotless. Its a little difficult to find, as it is on the 3rd floor if a shopping mall, but for those with mobity issues, the elevator, which is difficult to find in Split old town, is a huge plus.

We didn't like this place at all. Had to enter through a department store (wasn't really a hotel at all, just two levels of rooms above the department store). The people at the desk were not helpful. Had trouble getting in when we arrived, and couldn't reach the front desk by phone. No onsite restaurant or breakfast service. The staff didn't know how to operate a hotel service. Ran out of toilet paper twice during our stays.

Great location and spacious room

The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated but amenities were threadbare ie other than a shower cap and 2 tiny botles of 'hair and body shampoo' nothing else was provided. The front office staff were friendly and helpful and location of the hotel was superb, being just a few minutes' walk to the harbour promenade. However the entrance which had to be through United Colors of Benetton was limited to the hours between 9am-9pm;and the lift access, outside of those hours,at the back to the building was unpleasant as we had to suffer a terrible stench all the time while waiting for the lift. Additionally the front entrance lift was out of service for 2 out of the 3 days that we were staying at the hotel.
