Dioklecijan Hotel and Residence is at Kranjčevićeva 45, in the Lokve district of Split, a short way east of the old town. The page shows 54 rooms, a four property class with no star rating stated, and a distance of about one mile, an eighteen-minute walk, to Diocletian's Palace, with the Riva about twenty minutes on foot. Facilities include an outdoor pool with sun loungers and umbrellas, a hot tub, a spa offering sports massage, reflexology and aromatherapy, a Mediterranean restaurant, a poolside bar, a rooftop terrace and two coffee shops. A free breakfast buffet is included, and free self-parking is shown, both valuable in a city where parking can be hard. The hotel is pet-friendly, with a limit of one pet up to twelve kilograms, and it offers an airport shuttle for a surcharge, luggage storage, meeting rooms, an electric vehicle charging station and a lift.
Rooms have balconies, air conditioning, free wifi, fridges, bathrobes and bathrooms with showers and bidets. Categories include single rooms with city or sea views, classic doubles or twins with city views, superior doubles or twins with sea views and a junior suite with a balcony and sea view, so solo travellers, couples and small families have options. The sea-view balconies are the best rooms in good weather. With 54 rooms, the hotel has a more personal scale than the big resorts, and guests often mention the attentive staff.
The location is residential rather than touristic. Lokve is a quiet area east of the centre, with local shops and everyday life, and the walk to the palace takes under twenty minutes along the waterfront or through town. Buses and taxis are easy, so evenings in the old town are no hardship.
Free parking makes this a good choice for drivers planning day trips to Omiš, Trogir or the national parks, and the pool and terrace make it pleasant to return to after a hot day. It is far enough from the nightlife for good sleep, near enough for easy sightseeing.
Who it suits
Families and couples who want a pool, spa and parking without the cost of a large resort; pet owners; and anyone looking for a quiet base with a local feeling. It is less suited to guests who want to step out into the palace lanes, and the pool is seasonal in practice, so winter stays rely on the spa and hot tub. A Mediterranean restaurant on site means you can eat well on tired evenings. Check the current room options and the pet policy before you travel.
Taken together, it offers good value for the facilities, a calm atmosphere and an easy walk or ride into the centre. For stays of three to five nights that mix sightseeing with relaxation, it is a reliable choice among Split's mid-range hotels.
