Hotel Agava Split

Lovely location and old world charm

Room was a bit small with no ‘view’ but that was fine really as we only slept there

- a great location that is close to the main activities/centre by foot yet quiet - The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They helped me arrange an additional night when I decided to extend my stay, and they also went out of their way to retrieve my ID from my previous room after I realised I had forgotten it. Their kindness and willingness to help really made the stay more pleasant. - clean, comfortable bed and room with all the necessary to make your own tea or coffee (cups and glasses included) - free wifi - other amenities that I didn't use such as swimming pool, sauna.

- if your room is on the top floor, you have to bring up your luggage as there is no lift - the reception is open from 9am to 9pm, so you have to communicate so that they keys are made available after these hours in a key lock with code - as a solo traveller, i wanted to go sea swimming and going with my 'anonymous/blank' swipe card access but in this hotel chain they give you actual keys with room number and hotel name, so not exactly safe to bring in your beach bag with the strict necessary belongings. So, I had to drop the idea.

Wonderful historical property in great location, good breakfast at nearby restaurant, good location

Stayed 2 nights in September. Staff were really nice and very willing to help. Room was very clean, well equiped, air con was good. Nice pool, free towels for the beach too!

For the price we paid (apx 450 euros) for 2 nights I would have expected a bigger room. There is no bar area, nor relaxing seating area, although there is a terrace overlooking the pool. We looked at returning for summer next year, but the same room rate is around 500 euros for 1 night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of this, we do not think we would stay again (despite the excellent location) as the cost is simply too high for what is on offer. Yes, the location is excellent, and within the UNESCO area of Split, but 500 euros per night is what some high end luxury hotels would charge. Clearly, even in September, Split was very busy, so I cannot imagine what it is like in the peak season, so I guess with demand comes higher prices, but for us, this cannot be justified in my opinion. However, we did enjoy or stay, even though we feel it was overpriced for the size of the room.
