Sonia
The apartment was very small but enough to be very comfortable. We enjoyed the stay. Good shower, comfortable bed, air condition works great and location was the best.
To get into the apartment there are very high stairs, it is hard to take your luggage up. Additionally the stove does not work.
The owner gave us all information we need it to check in and out.

David
Great stay in room No. 1. Located well, very clean and charming. The staff/host are welcoming and helpful. I would definitely book again if ever in Split.
Ralph
Great location just inside the golden gate of the palace. Easy to find and quiet. There are 3 rooms on the top floor. There is no elevator so be prepared to take your luggage up 56 steps on a wooden spiral staircase.
Allen
If you want an authentic stay within the walls of Diocletian's Palace, The Golden Gate Rooms is an excellent choice. My mother and I had a wonderful experience, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Split.
From the moment we booked, Vlatka and her husband were exceptional hosts, friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout our stay.
The location is truly special. Staying inside the historic palace was exactly what I had hoped for, and walking through the ancient stone passageways each day felt like stepping back in time. It offered a unique experience that no modern hotel could match.
Vlatka's husband went above and beyond, helping with our luggage and arranging secure storage nearby so we could travel light during our short two-night stay. This thoughtful assistance made everything much easier and reflected the care they show their guests.
The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The towels were beautifully presented, the Wi‑Fi worked perfectly, and the amenities provided everything we needed. It was clear that great attention had been given to guest comfort.
I was also impressed by the value. Considering the extraordinary location in the heart of one of the world's most remarkable historical sites, the price was very reasonable. The entire booking and check-in process was smooth and professional.
Overall, our stay at The Golden Gate Rooms exceeded expectations!

The most amazing place I have ever stayed in my life. A wonderful experience with great people.
Elliot
Very helpful and welcoming staff and very responsive. Room was clean and had air conditioning, really good location, would recommend
Lisa
Room 3 was comfortable (ac worked great) and the location was fantastic. It might be hard for some to enter/exit due to the tight spiral stair case but was a novel experiance for me w/ backpack.
Ross
The property is in a great location. It is right beside the Golden Gate along with other shops and restaurants. The couple who take care of the units were very helpful, friendly and prompt. A lot of stairs but after a day or two you get used to them. We had some heavier luggage to carry up and the gentleman and his wife who lives and cares for the units, gladly carried our luggage up and then down the stairs when arriving and leaving. They were very helpful. We would stay there again. It’s amazing to stay in a unit built in the 3rd century. Air conditioning works well. We had the unit with the balcony, which we enjoyed.
Becky
Other than the difficult stairs was a great experience and can't beat location
David
Fun place and location, 52 winding steps to the room, if you’re okay with that the location is fantastic and it’s a comfortable room.
Jon
Little tricky to find at first, as it's IN the palace and the door isn't especially obvious until you see it. Once you're there it's a fantastic spot, couldn't be closer to the center of everything in that area and the hosts are wonderful.
Rachelle
This was such a cute place to stay just inside the gates of the old city. Clean, good amenities and a really great location. The owner was so kind to us and so helpful. We are so thankful for him as we were very lost and he came out to find us. There is a winding staircase up to the room that made us feel like we were staying in a castle.
Sara
This property is in the best location! Stunning city with everything in walking distance. The little balcony is perfect, with a great view - and the hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly.
We got an airport transfer with them - and we also left our bags with them when we went on a day trip on the day of our departure.

Jeff
The location is great just inside the wall, close to the water front. How ever there's 55 steps to the 3rd floor which is significant. Also we were there for 3 nights and we didn't have fresh towels. Also if you don't pay at the time of your booking, you have to pay cash, we have traveled in Europe a number of times and this is the first that we had to pay cash.
Ryan
What an amazing location - it felt like we stayed in a castle. Fantastic, historical property inside the walls of Split. The narrow, spiral stairs to the 3rd floor would be tricky for some to navigate, especially with luggage, but was fine for us. Very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Would stay again.
Dave
Situated directly at the entrance of the gate it was really easy to find the place. The room had everything we needed.
Cynthia
Golden Gate was perfect for us - 2 women traveling together. There were 2 comfortable beds, fridge, AC, shower, coffee. Seemed to be recently remodeled. Easy access to Split beaches and sites!
Max
Fantastic location, comfortable room with all the essentials and our room had a small balcony with two chairs and small table. Great host and fair price as well.
As others have said, the old narrow circular stair case over three floors means that some people may have difficulty, or if you have lots of heavy bags.

Great property located to many central sites in old town split, many good restaurants and bars in the area. Close to Split port and bus terminal. Property communicates quickly, clean and cozy apartment.
janki
Overall very clean and good. Liked the kitchenette. The bed kept sinking in, so that was not comfortable. But overall wonderful location in proximity to everything, I would stay again and recommend!
Nancy
This was a good place to stay. The hosts were great and helpful. Just be mindful that you are climbing 3 floors that are curved and very old. Carrying heavy suitcases are very difficult. The place had wonderful charm and the bed was good.
Patricia
Historical room within Palace walls. Staff very helpful. Winding staircase which I found charming but if you have mobility issues it may not be suitable.
Viravan
The location is great and walkable to many sights. The owner is very nice to help us with the luggages up to the 3rd floor and offer a reasonable airport drop off fare when we left.
Julia
Perfect location in old town, right by the golden gates. Clean room, bare bones but did the job well! They provided a few great recommendations for restaurants. Sinisa was able to get us from the airport for a small fee. Would stay here again.
Rachel
Really excellent stay, perfect location and friendly hosts.
fadi
It is nice location you can go in from the park I loved it because it is close to everything and the owner very helpful very nice I recommend it you can ask if you need help with luggage.. 5 star
Scott
A really neat place to stay, in wall of Diocletian’s Palace. Hosts were responsive. Step outside of apartment and you’re right there in old town.
rebecca
The location was incredible. People who saw us coming out of our place couldn’t believe we were actually staying there! We opened our doors to hear a small concert going on in the courtyard below - it was fantastic. Warning: you do need earplugs to sleep at night; but otherwise, the location at the gateway to Old Split was perfect.
JULIE
Super central...but some downsides!
Couldn't be more central- location is perfect.
However, 56 spiral stairs to access the room, which was serviced only once during our 4 night stay. Towels were like cardboard! Not accommodation for guests with mobility issues.
Staff helpful in arranging transfers and transporting cases.

Split Room Built into the Golden Gate of Palace
The most historic place I’ve ever overnighted at. This one includes as the Golden Gate at Diocletian’s Palace as part of its walls. The huge limestone blocks were put together about 300 AD for the construction of the Palace the Roman Emperor built for his retirement in Split, Croatia.
Two windows of the unit overlook the vestibule of the Palce’s Golden Gate entrance and a tiny one overlooks the park across the street from the Palace.
While the comfortable unit is well- insulated with it’s thick walls, it also has modern appointments such as AC a refrigerator and a sizable bathroom with modern plumbing you’d see in any hotel.
Travelers with physical limitations need to be aware the stairs to the second floor unit are narrow and steep- similar to historic buildings in Amsterdam.
Great place to stay while visiting

Two nights
The location is very good, the directions were good, the air-conditioning was fine, the furnishings are fairly dated and as others have said the stairs are pretty steep and if you have large heavy luggage it will work you out... Overall not a bad place for the price.
Verified traveler
There was a kitchen and a nice bed and the location is unbeatable. Bathroom was really small and the fridges were not cold and only one burner on the stove top worked. Overall I would stay here again knowing what to expect.
daniela
Modern ambience in the old place
Nice, clean place in the gate of Diocletian palace, can't bit the location! The owner is very helpful with recommendations about places to eat, transportation, very generous offer of tea choices and coffee; kettle to heat water. Really unforgettable experience! Thanks!
Verified traveler
Great location - in the castle of the old town. Cool to sleep in a castle. The host was really nice and helped me get settled in. Be warned you need to climb 4 flights of stairs so difficult with suitcases but he explained he can’t change the exterior of the building as it’s heritage site. Could do with some additional amenities like soap. Room was comfortable and spacious and clean

Pros: the owner is nice, good location, clean room
Cons: no lift, need to carry luggage to walk steep steps

location nothin more
noisy noisy. if people are out drunk and hollering your hear it. you hear the bells at all hours of the day and morning. you hear the neighbours. rooms need a good thourough clean. host was super nice. stairs up suck. if someone has real heavy big luggage not sure how that would work. wifi was good. shower was awkward. hot water yes. but the way the hand held was mounted it was useless. rain fall not much pressure as there is a leak or something. as much water falls out the side as the actual shower head.
Slavica
Excellent
Perfect location for site seeing. Plenty of cafes and restaurants with great food. Clean, comfortable and well equipped kitchen. Good airport connection and good and walking distance to bus station and ferry. Landlord kind, friendly and helpful. We didn’t mind narrow, spiral staircase but someone can find difficult to climb.
CHENG
Very well located with everything nearby. The room is in the 3rd floor and has all amenities and good space for a couple. It is perfect except the access, which is an old wooden spiral stair. For those with large or heavy luggage it is hard to get in without help.
The owner is very nice and check-in: check out procedures are relatively clear and simple.
The owner always leaves the door of the aisle of the 3rd floor unlocked and did not gave us its key or instruction on how to open it when it is locked. This led to an awful occurrence during my stay. In a night the guest of the another room locked from inside the door of the aisle. Then, when we arrived at 11:00PM, we could not open the door to get in our room. Despite we ringed the door bell and knocked the door, the guests of the other rooms did not open it for us. We tried to contact the owner but could not reach him. He was not in the city that night.
Unable to enter to our room for bath and sleep, I and my wife we had to walk around to find a hotel with available room and at reasonable price, which was very difficult task because it was high season in Split, and the prices ranged from 280 to 380 Euros per night. Finally, at 2:30AM, after negotiating, we got a room at Adriana Hotel by 240 Euros.
Early in the morning the owner replied me with instructions on how to open the door so we could get in and take what we need for our tour. The owner also promised to refund us 240 Euros. We are waiting to be reimbursed.

Very nice location and very clean and tidy room. Helpful staff also and everything was easy. Only bad thing is that when I chose the option to pay at the location you could only pay in cash. Every ATM takes access fee and you have to take a lot of cash to pay for the stay.

Superbe sejour de 4 nuits au coeur même du palais du Diocletien ! On est littéralement dans le monument. La chambre est belle, avec une jolie terrasse donnant sur la cathédrale. Le lit est tres confortable ! Personnel au top et prévenant. J'ai adoré mon séjour, meilleur endroit pour sejourner a Split!
