Hotel Marul, Split

4.4 (32 reviews) · Upscale
Simple yet comfortable hotel with a terrace, garden, and on-site restaurant serving Dalmatian food

Overview

Hotel Marul is set in a charming building steeped in history. Its pastel-colored facade, comfortable surroundings, and friendly service make it a cozy retreat amid the bustle of city life. Its central location is a significant advantage—just a five-minute stroll from the vibrant Fish Market and the iconic Gregory of Nin Statue and a short walk from Diocletian's Palace and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. You'll be in the midst of the city's cultural and historical treasures without the need for a commute.

Every room in Hotel Marul is designed with neutrals and colorful throws, featuring cozy king-sized beds, spacious wardrobes, and modern amenities. The bathrooms offer rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. For a more elevated stay, choose the rooms with terraces overlooking the old part of town and the hotel's garden. However, take note that a few reviews from past kimkim travelers have mentioned the need for improvement in mattress quality.

Hotel Marul has an on-site restaurant, the Garden Bistro, which serves Dalmatian food and Croatian specialties. With its romantic garden setting, it's a perfect spot for a morning coffee or a relaxing evening drink. Despite being centrally located, the hotel maintains a tranquil atmosphere, letting you enjoy the best of both worlds—city life and relaxation.

Hotel was centrally located and close to major areas. However the room we were given was the top most floor with slanted ceilings and so we get hitting our heads on the ceiling. Otherwise it was a nice room - quite spacious and clean. Read more
