Layout is a little awkward as it doesn’t leave much space for suitcases, the balcony didn’t have guards so safety was a concern therefore we didn’t get to enjoy the view as much. It’s on a busy street, lots of traffic and cars. But very close to promenade.

Excellent hotel. I plan to return. I recommend it! The quality of the building is very good. The room we had (junior suite) was well laid out. The bathroom was very nice. Only downside was that it did not have a bathtub; it was a shower only. But it was a nice shower. There is a hot tub and sauna that is bookable. We did that and enjoyed it. The staff are very professional and nice. They speak fluent English. In particular, I want to give recognition to the hard working Diana in the restaurant. The breakfasts every day were very helpful. Plenty of options. We always ate a big breakfast to fuel our long days of Croatia exploration. There is a rooftop cafe! The only downside of this hotel is its location. It is fine and I have no problem with it. However, it is not "walkable" for some people. For me, no problem. We walked to Diocletian's Palace in about 20 -- 25 minutes. There are two short turns and then a main street takes you directly to the old part of the city. The advantage of the hotel location is also that it's easy to take a car into town or out of town. It's a ~$10 Uber ride to the ferry or Palace. It's also easy to get onto the road and towards places outside of Split, like the Fortress or onwards to Trogir, etc. Overall, I actually think the location is decent. One side of the hotel faces a busy road, so perhaps choose the other side if that's an issue for you. We faced the road but found it to be quiet at night. Overall, this was a very positive experience!

We stayed in Via Porto room 2 for a 4 night city break in Split and were very happy with the choice. The location is superb, a short walk from the ferry port and the old town so were able to walk everywhere. The room itself was very clean, comfortable and spacious with basic catering facilities, the welcome snacks and coffee were a nice touch. Very close to a good bakery and supermarket. The rooms are up 3 floors of steps which wasn't a problem for us with the luggage. It is self check in and that went fine, and the owners were helpful throughout. Would certainly recommend Via Porto as a base for exploring Split.

A clean and spacious room with lots of character. Ana the host was very helpful.
