Excellent location in the city. Large room with a comfortable bed at a good price. The hotel is inside an abandoned mall, but that was fine for me and my wife.
However, there was an extremely bad smell in the bathroom, likely due to old plumbing, which made it difficult to sleep at night. I would have rated it 4 out of 5 if not for the smell. As it stands, I can only give it a 2.

embedded inside a Colors of Benneton store, the entrance was not marked. After hours the entrance was plain creepy

A wonderful stay at Prima Luce. You are steps away from the old town and all it had to offer, as well as a close bus ride or 30 min walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The property staff were so nice and friendly. Helped with all questions and concerns. The hotel property was clean and walking distance for everything.

The area is prime. But the property was located in an abandoned shopping mall. Felt quite unsafe at night. The hotel also didn't have extra pillows, towels or blanket. Not a pleasant start for a 4 star.

What an experience! Highlighted pros and cons.
The neighbourhood is not like any other - my wife was reluctant to get out of the taxi. Having said, nothing happened to us or any of bringings. This certainly is not a 4-star hotel, may be 2.
On the ground floor there is a Shop. First and second floors have closed down shops. Third floor occupies this hotel and reception shared by another hotel which is on other side of the floor. No uniform for reception staff, just in casual clothes. But they were friendly and helpful and helped when asked.
There was a fire alarm, by mistake. Still I was allowed to go in lift since stairs are blocked off by tape since you can access the shut down shops. I asked what to do in case of real fire and if ok to take stairs. Was told not to worry, there won’t be any fires! Didn’t get the room as in booking. Very small windows bit high up without being able to see outside, like in a prison.
Came in August and the A/C is not enough for room. At 18C displayed but doesn’t work for that temperature. Asked for an extra pillow but didn’t have.
But, Hotel is in a very convenient location. Once out, you are in the centre of Split in a minute. We stayed for 4 nights with 2 children and once get used to it, you are OK. Room and bathroom were clean and tidy. But, won’t be staying again, that’s for sure.

Great rooms. The hotel seemed to be under construction. Conveniently located with great prices

Incredibly difficult to find the address on GPS, the place was not marked 'Hotel' The hotel is incredibly close on the third floor of a shopping centre, the offer included free parking, it is completely impossible to park here, it is at least 2 km from the possibility to to park the car! No breakfast offer either!! When we arrive, the reception should have cash for the fee, don't remember what they called it, the stay was paid in advance, but they should have the fee in cash!? Do not recommend this place… But the room itself was very good :)
6.0 / 10.0
The room was clean and as pictured. There is no rooftop bar and the building is half empty. We felt safe; it just wasn’t exactly as imagined for the price paid.
2.0 / 10.0
The hotel’s central location is its only positive aspect. The cleanliness was not ok – trash from previous guests was left in the room, and the entrance was a mess. The staff were lazy. Our room lacked bedding; even after complaining and receiving more, we still didn't get sheets. The AC was good. Overall, not worth the money.

You can hear club music at night but outside of that it’s a great stay. I just went to sleep before the music started

Not anywhere as nice as in the pictures, and it is located in an empty mall.

Apparently unless you pay an extra 30 Euros they allocate you a noisy room that they know is noisy!

The entrance was a bit hard to find and rooms did not look like the pictures but it was adequate.
4.0 / 10.0
Interesting location in a re-purposed department store. Wish we knew because we walked right by the location when looking for it. Rooms were very nice, beds were comfortable. No "mini-bar" as indicated and room fridge was warm upon arrival but did work after a few hours. Seems a bit over-priced for what it is but can appreciate that it's the rate they are able to get these days
2.0 / 10.0
Do NOT stay here. Our room smelled like dead bodies and sour yogurt, and there were massive black mold patches in the ceiling corners. Do not let the nice photos and good location fool you. When asked to be moved to another less stinky/moldy room, we were given a can of air freshener :(
5.0 / 10.0
Unique hotel (top floor of a disused shopping centre), in a fantastic location just 50m from Split’s Old Town.
Staff were professional and friendly, room was excellent - large with very comfortable bed and big bathroom. A great place to stay for a few days when exploring Split.

Location was close to city center. Unusual entrance and exit. Parking was a challenge.
5.0 / 10.0
The cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. Very fresh and really lovely receptionist. Great location and fantastic price. Highly recommend. The only downside is that the breakfast room is very small (around 6 tables in total) and there is not much selection (mainly cold foods), however as the hotel is so close to restaurants it’s not too much of an issue. If they improved the breakfast this hotel would be perfect.

Hotel is not that what I waited. Overpriced place in old mall. When we arrived that address take long time to understand how can get in this "hotel"
Room was clean and ok bed and pillows not it nothing about luxury.
Same mall has also night club maybe is nice if like go listening loud music.. if not like go the club can hear and feel that boost in the bed...
Well we stay 5 night its been hard, i never been so tired after vacations.
6.0 / 10.0
The Room was clean, in a great location, safe, well equipped and reasonably spacious. However, its not what it seems to be. Its not in a Hotel so there are no hotel related services. The staff are not Hotel trained so dont expect that. The services that we thought were offered, including roof terrace, and food and drink, or actually a Suite as opposed to a Room, are not as offered. Covid seems to have put paid to anything and everything except for the room itself. Which is understandable, but please update your offer to reflect the current truth. Even wifi failed for a day. On arrival, the safe didnt work, the windows were dirty as was some bedlinen. The bedlinen itself is paper thin as are the pillows.
Having said that, the room is very clean, reasonably spacious, is very well soundproofed, and in a great location for e erything Split Centre has to offer. But in no way is any of the experience or facilities, luxurious.

In old town, close to lots of restaurant and less than 5 minutes from most attractions. And still quiet for sleep at night.
Owners are very helpful and responsive in optimizing trip itinerary
3.0 / 10.0
Overall a fine stay though we had some issues throughout. The photos really give a boutique and elegant vibe when in reality the building the hotel is in and the paint schemes, entrance, etc... All leave a lot to be desired.
The hotel is located inside of a half-empty mall and the main access is through the back service door and elevator. It feels a bit sad and the rooftop cafe is closed as well making the place really just a room.
Our room was fine but the mattress and bedding was really not good or comfortable though everything was very clean!
The last weird thing was that three times in two days we had people enter our room without even knocking first! We were told that the first two times was the cleaner but she never stated housekeeping or tried knocking. The third was one of the employees we'd talked to before and he didn't knock either. We never felt unsafe but never in any hotel stay have I experienced something like this which was very odd and felt extremely off and weird. Why wouldn't anyone even knock first?? All three times they just said "oh, and closed the door" not even needing anything from us..
Anyways, for the price, I suppose the hotel is fine if you need a clean place to stay in a good area but that being said, for not much more money you can have a very nice luxury hotel in Split with included breakfast, a much nicer atmosphere, and better security.

I had a great experience during my stay, perfect location, just a few blocks to the old town and the Riva, plus great services to both beautiful lady Mirna and Eva, always willing to help, thanks for both!
I will come back!

The stay was very bad, no one at reception for over an hour on arrival. Note on desk said back in 5 minutes with a number to call if assistance needed. I called it rang to the empty reception desk. No towels in the room and the reception argued with me before looking. The safe in the room was unusable. Worst part, I went for breakfast on last day. I had a late checkout as a gold member reward. I verified that before going. Parking was a 15 minute walk, I took my suitcase to the car and planned on getting the rest at check out. When I returned only 15 minutes past normal check out they had already come into my room. It was not cleaned but my belongings were gone. I dug through the trash and found my cosmetics and electric tooth brush as well as the opened food in the fridge. However the bag of souvenirs, my battery charger, tour books and all unopened food were gone. The receptionist who that morning I had a long conversation in english with, suddenly spoke no english, the cleaners were no where around.
But, the room was very pretty...

The property is right outside the old city walls, nice and close to get to everything in Split but very quiet.

Perfect location, room was a great size for a family, but very dated.

The beds are really worn down and the property feels more like a hostel deluxe
Staff was really friendly and helpful though!

Absolutely great location, clean and cozy rooms. We had a great stay in Split.
No parking at hotel, but in less than 200 meters, we found a big public parking for a reasonable price.
1.0 / 10.0
We booked this place because it stated that they'd provide a parking space, which was a false statement. They do tell you where you could park, but it is a public parking space somewhere in town and you need to be lucky to find one which wouldn't charge for the entire day AND night (6 Kunas per hour). The room was clean, but you need to close the curtains so the sun won't shine into your room, otherwise it is way too hot inside, even with the A/C on. And don't get me started on the bathroom temperature, it feels like you walk into an oven since the air of the A/C doesn't reach the room and you can't open any windows. I can't tell if we were just unlucky with the room, but from our experience, I wouldn't recommend this accommodation. The only positive things about this place are the location (walking distance to the town's center) and the friendly staff.

Exceptional rooms. Luxury with carpet flooring, I love it. Amazing view of city and mountains. Perfect location, heart of the old town city, everything at your door steps. Taxis and public transportation downstairs. Service excellent and reception staff beyond great. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Split.
