Makarun Heritage Rooms

4,5 of 5 stars. Excellent communication and accommodating hospitality by Toni via WhatsApp and manager Mario and team, with an almost family feel but still professional, and reactively problem solve for example parking in when arrive/depart. On arrival, welcomed with a surprise free cheese and ham platter, and drinks was included during the stay, if wanted. Big breakfast served dish by dish (no buffe, takes 30-45 min at least): coffe/tea, croissants with maremelade, yoghurt with cornflakes and forrest fruit jam, and eggs (I recommend the Croatian tomato sauce on bread with poached eggs) - and there will always be good bread. In general, I can also recommend Makarun's restaurant for lunch and dinner: Their black seafood risotto was one of the Split visit's highlight - and even the seperatly booked food tour of Split took the group there! Location is in old town (to find the entrance, look for the blue wall in the alley by the square) and close to bus station, harbour promenad, Spar supermarket etc. The single room was small/large enough, and the toilet was in the shower, which is understandable in Old Town. Breakfast between 8 and 10 o'clock in Oct, possibly 07:30 when requeated. AC which is in the room must be really appreciated in the summer! Note that the tourist season with opening hours and availability in Old Town, really, closes down between 1 Nov and mid-May.

Small observations: The room cleaning could be better (dusty wine glasses in the room, some but odd number of shower gel/hair conditioner bottles, and broken toilet brush) and a broken lamp in the room, but the issues were quickly corrected when pointed out, instead of proactive action. A heads-up on arrival to not remove the curtains infront of the windows when opening the windows due to the large mosquitos (which are not a problem otherwise) then buzzing around in the room would have made a difference, although it was my own fault. :) Perhaps one piece of fresh fruit or vegetable in the breakfast would have added some colour and the little extra but I was still pleased and very full.

Wow! Makarun Heritage Rooms is a 100!! From the moment we got off the Ferry, to our transport to the Airport, we felt as we found our new family in Split. The room was spacious, and the furnishings lovely. The location is incredible-in the old city, close to the promenade, and close to all of the starting points for various city excursions. Their restaurant was amazing; breakfast every morning was a feast and we had our "aloha" dinner (the last night of our vacation) at the restaurant and it was fabulous. The key to the hospitality is the incredible people and staff at Makarun-they treated us as visitors, not tourists, and their attention to detail and overall support of our visit was absolutely phenomenal. We plan on bringing our family back next year!

Room was clean and very comfortable. AC worked well. Mini fridge. Excellent bathroom. Staff was very nice and helpful. Recommendations for restaurants were great! Breakfast in am was fantastic! Location was great in a square

Nothing

We were met at the car park by Toni, our personal concierge! Toni was a wealth of historical knowledge and spent a great deal of time helping us plan out our stay over complimentary charcuterie and a glass of wine. The rooms are unusually large for Europe and very clean. Breakfast was very good and the staff all very friendly. Everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance from the hotel.

The hump from the public parking could be difficult for some, but Toni was there to help. This is a small price to pay for the experience of staying in the old city of Split.
