The room is not just "inside" the gate, the room is on the gate of the palace, which means you're staying in a thousand-old structure within the historical monument. I honestly couldn't believe this was possible (renting such a place), but the picture of the property is taken from a window at the top of the old steps going up the golden gate of the palace! Despite the antiquity, the room is fully renovated, very clean, with a small balcony overlooking the bell tower of the church. No need to mention how centrally located you will be. An absolute highlight of our brief stay in Split, definitely recommended for its uniqueness. The hosts are also very friendly and helpful.

Not quite a negative, but because the entrance is detached from the other street numbers, it was hard to find (and Google Maps failed to indicate correctly the location). For future guests' reference, it's a small black door at the left as you enter the Golden Gate (see photo).

I have read reviews before booking, and they were spot on - perfect location, unique atmosphere, and great hosts who kindly offered to store my bag when I was on tour all day after checking out I also liked looking through the windows to busy streets below with restaurants as that was more entertaining during evenings than tv

As expected from historic buildings, walls are not soundproof and stairs would be an issue for some people as mentioned in most of reviews.

The location of our room was fantastic - right in the middle of the Dioclesian Palace. Very comfortably appointed. It was also very good that the owner warned us that the staircase was steep and very windy - we took backpacks as luggage! It would not have been fun lugging a huge suitcase up the stairs!

A little explanation that the entrance to the staircase, and our accommodation, was actually in the wall of the Palace. A photograph of the entrance would have been very useful.

It was lovely to be within the walls of the Palace and explore the horrendously expensive shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and very pleasant.

The spiral staircase up to the third floor accommodation were treacherous and rickety. I believe they need attention along with the rope hand rail which is becoming detached in places. I was expecting the staircase but in better order. AVOID IF YOU HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST MOBILITY ISSUES.

I really enjoyed my stay in Split — it honestly felt like home. The room was super cozy and I slept so well. Everything was just great. The location is a 10/10, and I loved the entrance with that old, historic vibe. The stairs and the whole atmosphere give the place such a unique charm. It really pulls you into the history of the city. Would definitely stay here again!

The location inside the Golden Gate is fantastic (and practical) and makes it worth the stay. Staff kind and reactive, also we asked and received very useful recommendations from the staff for restaurants.

The enormous potential of the location would need more investments in restoration. We stayed twice, the rooms offer different confort ( 1 more spacious and nicer than 3, but 3 has a kitchen), and the original architecture is not put forward by the modern and anonymous cladding. Split in general is disfigured by air conditioning, heating the outside air, would be good to propose also fans which consume 20 times less.

I loved this place -- located in a basically a turret of one of the gates of Diocletian's palace--the decor is modern but it's an extremely atmospheric location. Split was a real highlight of our 3 week European trip. Room was comfortable. Didn't meet the owner but her communications over whatsapp were incredibly helpful and her husband was there to let us in upon our late arrival on the train from Zagreb. Wish we'd stayed longer.

Nothing. This place is a peach.

The location was the best part. It was the best decision I made! It was safe, clean, and everything I needed.

It was Ok for me, but the stairs would not be the best for others. I was warned about them so I knew they were steep. But that was the only thing and you can’t change that. Just be sure to hold the rope and go slow!

Excellent location with character inside the walls. Everything is close by. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Nice shower in the bathroom.

Guests should be aware that the rooms are accessed by a narrow spiral staircase of 50 or so steps. It wasn't a problem for us but might be an issue for some

An hidden large apartment exactly inside the Golden Gate historical wall gate, 3 bedrooms with their own private bathrooms. Room 2 was facing the internal yard so very quiet. Room 1 and 3 were instead more exposed to external noises being mainly people shouting at night. Lara, was a very helpful and friendly person and gave us many good tips on places to visit. Reliable and fast Wi-Fi. All facilities including room size, bed and bathroom were great and just made my stay in Split perfect.

There was a kettle in the room but no coffee or tea bags to use (like in the other 2 rooms), not sure if these might have been forgotten. The accommodation has no lift, just some beautiful wooden spiral stairs to reach the top, so not ideal for guests with some mobility difficulties.
