Hotel Splendid is a 59-room hotel on Masarykov put, the seafront road along the Lapad bay, and the booking page describes it as a waterfront site, with Lapad beach and the Lapad peninsula about eight minutes away on foot. The hotel has a restaurant called Tramonto serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a beach bar, a terrace and a garden, and a breakfast buffet is included. Rooms include standard singles and doubles, doubles or twins with a balcony and sea view, and triples with sea views. All have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV and a bathroom, and the booking page mentions balconies and free infant beds. The hotel lists it as a three-class property and the star rating is left blank here until it can be confirmed from the hotel itself. The staff, the breakfast and the views are what reviewers praise most. The building is older and has no elevator, and the walk to the Old Town is long without a bus or taxi, which are the main recurring complaints. The booking page gives a guest rating of 8.2 out of 10 from 924 reviews.
The reason to choose Splendid is the setting and the scale. Lapad is a leafy residential district with a long promenade, restaurants and pebble beaches, and the hotel's waterfront position puts you on that promenade. A small hotel means more personal service, and balcony rooms with sea views give a relaxed outlook for morning coffee. The beach bar and terrace extend the hotel's own space, so evenings are easy.
Be realistic about the limits. With no lift, upper floors mean stairs with luggage, so request a low floor if mobility is a concern. The Old Town is reached by city bus, listed as number 4 in guest reviews, or by taxi, so plan on that travel time when you schedule early walls visits. Parking and the airport shuttle cost extra, and pets are not allowed. Check-in starts at three in the afternoon and check-out is at eleven. Free cancellation applies to selected rates, so compare the options when you search.
Who should stay
Couples and solo travellers who like a quieter district, budget-minded guests who prefer sea views to resort facilities, and visitors who plan to swim in the bay. Use the morning bus to reach the Old Town before the heat, return to the hotel in the afternoon for a swim and plan dinner on the Lapad promenade.
Compare rooms, rates and policies before choosing your dates. Check the current price of the airport shuttle against a taxi fare for your group size before you arrive, and ask the reception desk for the current bus timetable to the Old Town so that your first evening is easy to plan.
