We are a family of 4 (2 adult children) visiting Split and stayed at Garden Apt Hotel. We had a rental car and had difficulty with locating the hotel as well as parking, however our GPS was not guiding us well. Upon arrival we were greeted by the host who was extremely helpful and friendly (spoke English fluently) and gave us area information as well as restaurant recommendations (you will need to make reservations well ahead of time if you want to eat at a particular restaurant). The apartment was very cozy and clean, and was spacious for our needs with 2 bedrooms , 2 bathrooms and a beautiful patio, and a kitchen. It is in the historic section and a perfect location to walk to all historic sites, shops, restaurants, beaches, etc.
Unfortunately, a member of our family had a minor medical emergency and we asked the host where we could find a clinic, he immediately walked us to the clinic (which was close to the apartment) and made sure we got our needs met, and also checked in with us later that day to make sure everything was ok.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our entire stay in Split and highly recommend Garden Apt Hotel!! It is about a 3.5 hr drive to Plitvice Lakes, which if you have the opportunity, should not be missed!!
