Hotel President Solin

Breakfast was ok, good spread of food choices, hot, cold, sweet, savoury etc. The coffee from the machine was a little disappointing. The hotel is well situated for the bus into downtown Split and the tourist areas, Diocletian's palace etc, the bus cost Euro 2.50 and took around 25 minutes. Ivana who worked in reception was very nice and helpful with booking tours and giving us information on local transport, sights, etc.

We were lucky to stay at the hotel when there were just a few other guests, so we got to enjoy the VIP feeling. ;) The staff were brilliant! They all were friendly and helpful so I am giving 10 points just because of the experience with the personnel. Instead of complaining afterwards, I recommend asking for things you are missing during your stay. They are giving their best to accommodate you! The place maybe requires a bit of refurbishing, but I love the late 90ies feeling of luxury. We enjoyed the spa quite a lot (jacuzzi, sauna and heated pool). The girls working there were more than wonderful (looking lovely and being super-kind). Both pools outside were perfect! Our room was facing the recreational pool and a small park, but in the distance, we were able to see the ancient fortress of Klis which was a cinematic experience. I believe rooms facing this side are the best. We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant and the best thing about that was the pianist, I believe his name was Vlado. What a wonderful gentleman and a true maestro! The bar on our second evening was quite a nice place to relax, great menu of cocktails and drinks. Extremely friendly and professional waiter Brane and his wife (who also works at the bar) made us feel so relaxed! We were treated with drinks and ice cream on the house which was quite a nice touch. I recommend checking out the nearby tavern called River, excellent seafood, grilled meat and salads. If you stay in Solin, do not allow yourself to miss the archaeological site of Salona! This was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and it was an impressive city for its era. It'll give you that time travel experience! One more important detail about the hotel, it's pet friendly which was amazing! Our kitten enjoyed the room and the balcony. The room was properly cleaned even though I asked them not to use the vacuum so that the small one doesn't get scared. They did a great job!

Hotel and room was spacious and quiet and the hotel had very good facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful and the welcome drink...welcome! Breakfast self service had a good selection. Solin centre was a short stroll across the river and had a few local bars and reasonably priced restaurants. Road access to the coast and airport was easy.

The hotel was beautiful and only a quick 5 minute ride into Split. The town itself had a good choice of places to eat/drink.

This was a very quick stay, I arrived late and left early, so please bear this in mind when reading this revciew. but it was comfortable, very clean and the team on site do a very good job engaging with guests.
