Like staying at your grandparent's house.
Despite some shortcomings, I would 1000% stay here again and really look forward to coming back. The owner is a wonderful, older gentleman who just exudes love, grace and courtesy from every fiber of his being. He waited outside the villa to greet me and help guide me into the parking spot, gave me great recommendations for dinner, and treated me like family. It was such a wonderful, loving experience that I want to bring my family back. The location is great if you want to explore Split's old town, as it's a short walk to the Riva and Diocletian's Palace. Yes, the room is small. Yes, the blankets are somewhat worn but extremely clean. Yes, the towels are worn and stiff from being line dried instead of fluffed in a dryer. Yes, the room was cold despite the heater going full blast all night. However, when I overslept and missed checkout, the owner greeted me with a smile and told me not to worry. He let me park the car in the parking space after checkout so I could explore the city. When I returned, he guided me when I was pulling the car out. He offered me use of his bathroom, asked me if I needed anything for my next journey (water, etc.), and waved goodbye as I drove away. It really felt like I spent a night at my loving Italian grandpa's house and I want to go back.

Great location
Great location close to ferry port, bus and train station. Water leaking out of the shower floor was an inconvenience, TV needed updating, but you need to realise that you get what you pay for . If you want a great location and a place to sleep, this is good vale for money.

Good choice for basic hotel in Split
Nice basic hotel in a good area near the train and ferry as well as old town Split. Comfortable small rooms, slightly run down. Hotel staff were very helpful with local suggestions and arranging an airport shuttle.

Fantastic staff
Oct 5, 2018. Rm #1, main floor (no elevator for higher floors). Small room. Only 1 person at a time in bathroom! Easy to find with GPS. Behind train station, area looked scary, but ease of walking to town (10-15 min) and staff made it good. Let owner know ahead of time if need parking--it's right in front of hotel. Recommended to a mother/daughter we met later. Can't say enough good things about staff. Worried may be noisy near trains, but was not.

The perfect location when in Split!
Perfect location being only a stones throw from the main harbour, shops, restaurants and the old town all within walking distance. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable and the guy on reception was super friendly and couldn't do enough to make my stay more enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend, i shall be back next year!!

Basic but everything you need
Great location 5 min walk to main strip and port. We chose to take the Villa shuttle from the airport which was great value for money and the staff were knowledgable and giving us lots of information on the drive to the villa. The room was clean, comfortable, basic but everything you need. The staff were accommodating, knowledgable, had maps of the town and gave up advice on tours (even an umbrella when it decided to thunderstorm on our first night) a great stay!

No room available
We had booked months ago and reconfirmed again the morning of our arrival, confirming a 2100hrs arrival after a long journey from Dubrovnik. .we booked the hotel because it is next to the the port and the car rental office where we were collecting car the next day. Arrived to find that our room had been given to another party that had arrived needing more rooms than they had booked. We were not happy. This would normally cause a 'terrible' rating on all categories. However, to be fair to the manager, under the onslaught of our anger, he fully acknowledged his fault; he found an apartment across town (which wasn't great but not terrible either), took us there and collected us the next Morning to take us to car rental. And we reached a financial adjustment. . So, while very cross at our room being given away, we would fully acknowledge that the manager mitigated the situation well. Hence I would give this experience a 3.5 out of 5 score and compliment the manager for trying very hard to make good a mistake of his own making. My ratings in each category apply to the accommodation that was provided, which was not the hotel!

Convenient for ferry, train and old town.
Family owned and run by really helpful and friendly people. Just 200m ftom ferry and 20m from rail station through hole in the railings. 5 minutes walk to old town. My room was very clean and the larger rooms at front of building with balcony looked very good. For an overnight stay or long weekend would certainly recommend.

Short stay; was out most of the day. Though there's a disadvantage since its located just behind the port, it can get prettyou noisy at night. Apart from that, everything was convenient, near the train, bus station, 5 mins walk to old town.

Basic hotel in a good location. Very handy to the railway station and ferry wharf through a gap in the station fence! Ours was a small room but very neatly designed to contain all required comforts. Recommend for a short stay or when you are likely to be out all day.

Great for the ferry
This very basichotel is certainly nothing special but it is very clean and there are parking spaces nearby if you've hired a car. The hotel claims to have parking but this only street parking. The hotel doesn't feel terribly secure as at the night the reception is unattended and the front door is wide open. However, it's location can't be beaten. It's so central and only minutes from the ferry port. I would recommend it as a place to stay overnight if you've arrived too late to get your ferry to the islands. It's fine for that. But certainly not as a base for your Split holiday.

Great location and service.
Great family run business in a fantastic location very close to the main town, buses and port. Pro-tip: To save a long-ish walk with luggage you can take a short-cut from the bus station/port. Walk through the main entrance to the train station, across the tracks and through a (very obvious) hole in the fence right in front of reception. One minute from the port/bus station to the front door!

Great Location, simple, perfect for short trip
The hotel is right behind the railway station on a quiet street, so just a few minutes walk to the harbour front and ideal for bus and railway stations. Front desk very welcoming, no lift but that didn't bother us. Room was small, simple, but clean and comfy. Bathroom small too but did the trick. Would recommend for a short stay in Split.

Easy access to old town, nice place
The location was great. Easy access to old town and the water front. Our shower didn't work great which was annoying. the room size was small but worked for what we needed. We had called to arrange airport pick up but the hotel had a miscommunication among their staff and we were not picked up. We ended up having to take a taxi for more money. But the hotel upgraded our room as a gesture. Overall a good stay and would stay again.

A work in progress in Split
Villa Simoni is a recent addition to the lodging scenes in Split. It's behind the train station and ferry terminal and about a minute and a half walk from the Riva, Farmers' Market and Diocletian's Palace. For the independent traveler looking for a reasonable place to stay, it is pretty good. It's fairly new and is being improved. It's family owned and the family lives on site. Simon, the oldest son and manager (and thus, Simoni) is helpful and took the time to come and get me when I couldn't find the right street...missed it by about 100 meters.
