8.5Verified guest“Loved staying right inside Diocletian's Palace — it felt incredible to be in a 1,700-year-old building. Location was perfect for the old town, and the apartment was nicely designed with shutters that kept out street noise. Cristina at reception was lovely and helpful, and the price felt fair for what you got.”

Having a private entrance added a sense of privacy, and the washing machine in the bathroom was a handy bonus for laundry during the trip.”
