Very close to the old palace & other tourist sights. Not far from travel hubs; buses, ferries. Staff are not in permanent attendance, but on end of phone.

This was an amazing place, from the location to its staff it was perfect! Very clean Nice and cozy room Comfortable bed TV great Desk space great Bathroom clean and spacious Big spacious closet as well Sandra was amazing and super helpful. The hotel is steps from main shopping stores -super close to everything really. Only little thing is that other guests were extremely loud past midnight so I kept on waking up and it was annoying. It happened almost every day out of the 6 days that I stayed. If I return to Split, I would def book this place again!!!!

There was a kettle and mugs but no tea/coffee etc with it, which was a bit disappointing. The room was pretty but I hadn't realised the building was above a type of club? We were told music would stop at 11pm, I think it was later than that but not too late and we only stayed one night so no biggie. The hotel were prompt in emailing us after booking to find out our flight, arrival time and ask if we had transport arranged, they booked us a taxi to meet us at the airport, which after a late and delayed flight was really appreciated! Also there was a lovely cleaning lady who rushed after us when we had forgotten a few items. The location seemed very good too

Moved to another hotel, but it was fine
The stay itself were good. The original hotel was overbooked so we had to move to another hotel. This was'nt really a big hassle since it was only 5 minutes away, and the hotel standard in the new hotel was also better. But I would prefer to know in advance instead of knowing that we had been moved when we arrived. The staff was friendly and showed us where the new hotel was.

Great central and everything you need.
This is a great location, never more than 5 mins walk from anywhere in the old town. The rooms are simple but clean, solid and has everything you could need. Air con great, very quiet. As others mentioned, on Friday and Saturday nights the pub downstairs finishes at 2am, but we were out until then anyway and the other nights it is offered to move us to another upgraded hotel if the noise would be an issue but we didn’t. It really was great. I was travelling with friends but wouldn’t happily take my wife back (who has exacting standards).

It is a lot better hotel than it looks.
It is 150 metres from the old city, there is now view from the ground floor. The rooms are great with a very large bed. An excellent shower in a very good bathroom. The maid service is very good as is the reception. There is a disco next door that was very loud in our room, but it starts at 21:00 and stops at 23:00 on the dot. I would stay at this hotel again.

The Villa Olea Hotel is in a great location - basically 5 minutes from every where. The room was very nice, clean, well furnished, nice private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning worked well - and it was hot when we stayed there. The price was competitive. We would have preferred breakfast being provided. The staff was helful, accommodating and spoke English.

The property was in very close proximity to all the major sites and restaurants. The rooms are well appointed, comfortable and very clean. All rooms are on the first level and beneath them is a Bar that operates until 11.20 ish each night. The music and noise from the bar was very loud. We were exhausted from our activities and the noise did not bother us. There is no parking for the villa but we were able to park at a public garage within 5-10 mins walk from the hotel.

Great deal and location. Please note office hours
This was the best deal in Split for a wonderful location. Room very clean and strong AC. Only thing you should note is the office is not 24 hours so if you arrive past 10pm you must inform them so they can arrange to meet you. Also, leaving the bag at the hotel they stay til around 2pm so you may need to put in other storage facility after. With al this, still great deal considering other hotels much pricier!

Fine if you want the basics
As it was one of the cheaper options in split I wasn't sure what to expect. The room itself was good, air conditioned and comfortable. The only downside is that it is located next to a pub so if you want an early nights sleep it might not work for you. I wasnt too bothered by the noise as it often ended by 11pm. The only issue I had was there was rarely anyone at reception so if you had any questions or problems there was nobody there to ask. However they were quick to answer email. Overall a pleasant stay.

Comfortable and perfectly located small hotel. Rooms have been nicely renovated. The beds are even better than my mattress at home. There is a long shelf along one wall to put all your electronics with plugs. WiFi is decent; it’s fast enough to stream Netflix to my iPad. There is also a tv. Located only a few steps from the iron gate of Diocletian’s Palace.

Handily located hotel, close to the Old Town on the bus station side. We were arriving later than the 10pm cut-off for check-in, staff stayed up late for us, much appreciated. Plenty of traffic noise in the morning plus 10am check-out a little too keen. Otherwise, convenient, affordable and few frills - working WiFi, though, clean, modern bathroom.

Location is great for exploring the city. The major drawback is the bar downstairs plays exceptionally loud music until about 11pm each night. Otherwise it’s a cheap, basic room that serves its purpose.

Great location
Just a couple of ideas for the owners of Villa Olea. You have the most wonderful location on the edge of the old town. It is so handy to the ferry and train and the beautiful harbour and it's attractions. However I don't understand why you provide an ekectric jug,cups and saucers without tea or coffee. Many travelers also like an extra pillow and please don't sit with your mate and his yapping dog on the steps outside the front door smoking. The smoke permeates the entire place.

Small but Sweet
A little hard to find, as it's a hotel in part of a building, so there is a very small sign for it on the outside wall along with quite a few others. There was a girl with long blonde hair on reception both days I was there, she was lovely and very welcoming. The room was small but had everything I needed, and was quiet for sleeping. Would definitely stay there again.

Brilliant Location and Brilliant reception Staffs
Location of the hotel is brilliant. It is easy walking distance to everything, 10/15mins to the bus station, 20 mins to the beach, 5mims to the harbour and just across the road from the old town. The reception staffs are brilliant and most helpful and friendly. The receptionists are not always there so make you ask any questions beforehand (they both work odd hours). Only hand fall is, there is no toilet/ bathroom facilities for you to use after you've checked out

Great location, but left us wanting more
We spent four days at the Villa Olea. The location was great and the room was exactly as pictured. Unfortunately, our room was right off the lobby and we could hear any and all interactions that took place (phone conversations, people coming and going, etc.). All rooms are on the ground floor and our window looked out onto a busy street so we felt uncomfortable opening the blinds - this led to it feeling a bit like a dungeon. The hotel is also situated right above a bar which was quite noisy well into the night. Finally, the room wasn't cleaned at all during our stay; we weren't expecting it to be cleaned each day, but the offer of new towels at some point would have been nice.

I moved to another property - I cant rate this one
I got moved to another property. When I arrived for a thurs / fri / sat night stay Vera said that on 2/3 of the nights I would be bothered by the bar with live music that had just opened up underneath. Vera took everything in hand and moved me to another property. I was very happy there. Its great having a kettle in the room so you can get yourself a drink, I used the sink as a make shift fridge and had an small breakfast sorted each day.
