Hotel Marul, Split

4.3 (23 reviews) · Comfort
Simple yet comfortable hotel with a terrace, garden, and on-site restaurant serving Dalmatian food

Overview

Hotel Marul is set in a charming building steeped in history. Its pastel-colored facade, comfortable surroundings, and friendly service make it a cozy retreat amid the bustle of city life. Its central location is a significant advantage—just a five-minute stroll from the vibrant Fish Market and the iconic Gregory of Nin Statue and a short walk from Diocletian's Palace and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. You'll be in the midst of the city's cultural and historical treasures without the need for a commute.

Every room in Hotel Marul is designed with neutrals and colorful throws, featuring cozy king-sized beds, spacious wardrobes, and modern amenities. The bathrooms offer rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. For a more elevated stay, choose the rooms with terraces overlooking the old part of town and the hotel's garden. However, take note that a few reviews from past kimkim travelers have mentioned the need for improvement in mattress quality.

Hotel Marul has an on-site restaurant, the Garden Bistro, which serves Dalmatian food and Croatian specialties. With its romantic garden setting, it's a perfect spot for a morning coffee or a relaxing evening drink. Despite being centrally located, the hotel maintains a tranquil atmosphere, letting you enjoy the best of both worlds—city life and relaxation.

Maia and Simon literally saved our entire vacation from disaster. Finding out passport and driving it to us at the airport. Plus we loved sitting and chatting with Maia in the lobby, she is lovely and knew all about Croatia, the nuns next door and Split in general.

We enjoyed the food at this superb hotel so much that we returned for another meal when we visited Split for a second time whilst on a week's Small Ship cruise. The waitress, Dora, was very efficient and was able to compete with our British humour extremely well! Read more
