Heritage Hotel Cardo

We had a great stay at Cardo hotel. It’s amazingly located, very clean, friendly, hospitable. It’s a definition of a great hospitality. There are many good hotels, but often they fall apart when issues arise, Cardo excelled at solving and helping us make the best vacation ever. Our arrival time kept charging from day to almost midnight, and made sure that someone waiting for us with umbrella at the parking spot. They helped to navigate logistics and did it all with a great smile. Everyone is smiling and top notch. Their manager Ivan makes sure to personally greet you as well and make sure that everything you want is above and beyond and then some. Also as a bonus, in our room we had exposed historical brick wall dating to 15th century. Thank you!

We loved this hotel. The staff: Dominic, Philip, Editha and another man whose name I missed, were fantastic. Editha was amazing. Our room was spacious which we enjoyed and the shower greatly appreciated. It was lovely to see the original old stone in the bathroom. Our window looked out on the narrow street but we kept the shutters partially closed for privacy reasons. There was also a mini-fridge in the room and you can drink water from the tap. The hotel is accessible via a short winding stairs with table and chairs on the outside landing for a refreshing pause. Inside, our room was a short stairs up to the next floor. Breakfast was served in a small restaurant a short distance from the hotel and was very enjoyable with a small menu and a wonderful wait staff. The hotel's location in the Diocletian Palace was perfect. One of the staff always escorted us to the park to meet our guide on excursions.

What a little slice of heaven this place is! A beautiful historic building right in Diocletian’s Palace, it’s a small, very well run hotel with the best service I received in Split. After a delayed flight I arrived around 1am and Ivan, the manager, met me from the taxi and took my bag across all the cobble stones. My room was gorgeous with hand painted and carved ceilings and an original murano chandelier. There are only 5 rooms in the hotel, each beautifully decorated with great high pressure rain shower and Rituals products. Breakfast was a three course meal in a pretty courtyard and was definitely the best food I had in Split. Edita, who is the customer manager was so lovely throughout my stay and both she and Ivan are clearly passionate about customer care. I cannot say enough good things about this place and look forward to returning. Thank you Ivan, Edita and team.

Edita is the consummate manager of a boutique hotel. Her warmth and hospitality makes guests feel like family. Nothing is too much to ask, but she has likely already anticipated your request. Her restaurant recommendations are top notch—tailored to guest’s preferences. There are many 5 star hotels in the world, but the luxury of staying in such an historic property with only 5 rooms is particularly special. Treat yourself and stay here. Thank you for the opportunity.

Review Excellent hotel with great historical vibe. Location of the hotel was perfect: in the middle of everything but still quiet and peaceful. Our room was spacious and lovely. Staff was more than friendly and eager to help with everything. The staff felt genuinly interested in you and your welfare. We spent a lot of time chatting with them about all sorts of things. Plentiful breakfast was served in a very nice restaurant near by with personal and friendly service. Their friendliness was also more than just being polite: there was no feeling of rush but they had time to talk with us about Croatian habits, house prices and what ever people generally chat about. The city itself and Croatian people were a wonderful surprise to us. Everything worked smoothly, people were friendly and chatty, atmosphere was relaxed, everything was tidy, public transportation worked perfectly, there was great website where you could follow the bus locations realtime etc.

This is a fantastic hotel right in the centre of the diocletian palace. The hotel is spotless, the staff are friendly and welcoming always available with help and advice with a tremendous breakfast as well All in all a must stay place if you have the opportunity to visit Split

Can’t say enough nice things about this hotel and the staff. Hotel is perfectly located, very comfortable, in perfect condition and the staff are the nicest people ever. One of my favorite hotel experiences in my life!!!

This hotel deserves 10 stars. Exceptional hotel in a great location. All the employees we met were so nice. We talked to Ivan, Joseph and Edita frequently. They are awesome people. Edita is so charming. She arranged dinner reservations and the service to pick us up from the ferry with our luggage and drop us off at the bus stop when we departed. The rooms were beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was large with good shower pressure. Even though we were in the Old Town area, we could not hear any noise from the pedestrian streets around the hotel. Breakfast was also included, at Korta restaurant, which was around the corner from the hotel. Allow a solid hour for breakfast. Our first course was a cold plate with prosciutto, cheese and fruit. For the main course you can select one of the 7 different types of egg dishes or Cereal/Muesli with fruit and Yogurt. The Dessert choice had 3 options and they were all fantastic. During our stay we tried all 3. They were Waffles, Hazelnut Croissant (this item is fabulous) and Chocolate Cake. The Croissant and Chocolate Cake were our favorites. Everything was so good! I would highly recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Since cars cannot access the Old Town of Split, Ivan from Hotel Cardo met our driver to carry our bags and escort us to the hotel, which is located about 100 yards from the Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace. (We especially enjoyed being able to easily visit the Peristyle at night after the crowds have thinned.) Upon arrival, we were greeted in the lobby by the lovely Editha, who quickly checked us in and helped us get settled. This 5-room hotel provides an oasis from the tourist crowds, and is beautifully decorated in the Venetian style, with exposed walls that are part of the Palace, and large, triple-paned windows that completely block out the noise. Bed linens were lovely soft cotton, the mattress was comfortable, and the bathroom was large and well-appointed, with high-quality bath products, fluffy towels and bathrobes. We also appreciated the electric kettle and very nice teas. On our first morning, Editha escorted us about thirty steps around the corner from the hotel to the courtyard of the konoba that provides a very tasty, hearty order-from-the-menu breakfast included in the room price. At the end of breakfast, consider splitting the warm hazelnut croissant with cinnamon cream--it was delicious! Both Ivan and Editha were extremely helpful in making recommendations/reservations for us, and did everything to ensure that our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. They could not have been any nicer.
