Hotel San Antonio is the main hotel in this group and facilities are in this hotel but a short walk away and right next to beach and bars/restaurants. Staff ok and knowledgeable, helpful when asked. Not many shops close by and centre of split is a good 20 mins taxi ride, busses are available but not used by us.
Please invest in proper room keys and a bit faster refilling in breakfast foods would be great.
Staff was very friendly and helpful, very nice views, and sea is really close to the hotel, which is great.
This was a nice, clean hotel and the staff were very friendly. It was further out of Split than I realized, although the #60 Express Bus was good for getting back-and-forth and it was a good way to see the coastline and people living their lives.
The room itself was a bit hot at night and couldn’t leave the balcony door open because of mosqui
My stay was for 6 days. i have very good experience in terms of service. The location is perfect around 10km from Split city centre. You can use uber it is like 7 to 8 euro or a Public transport which is just outside the hotel gate it will cost u around 3 euro. The best part of the Hotel is the sunset with a glass of wine next to the sea. Very delicious pizza at the hotel.

I hate to leave wrongful or bad reviews however the corridors of the block were not unclean but smelt like raw sewerage making it uncomfortable when travelling to and from our room
Also the room style was quite dated and the breakfast offering very poor standard.
Not a great deal to do round the property and no loungers were on the beach to even give choice to the client

Ett fyrstjärnigt hotell men snarare som en tvåa!
Hotellrummet var det inget större fel på än att rummet var lite litet. Dock saknades det handdukar när vi fick rummet och även en annan dag så vi fick säga till. Korten för att komma in i vår annex-byggnad och på rummet slutade fungera efter 1 dag bara och så fortsatte det hela veckan (även när vi fått nya). Det var ett moment som störde oss. Frukostbuffén var riktigt dålig tyvärr. Inga alternativ förutom vitt bröd och sötsaker generellt. Baconet var kokt?! Och inte stekt. Hotellet tog betalt för parasoll för sina egna gäster (men inga solstolarna). Restaurangen på hotellet åt vi på en gång och maten var riktigt dålig och absolut inte värt pengarna.
Men är man ingen foodie och inte bryr sig så mycket så var det bra läge på hotellet precis vid vattnet. Servicemässigt var de varken trevliga eller otrevliga men det stod att det var er fyrstjärnigt hotell men det var mer som en tvåa!!
Kamer was opzich prima maar de koelkast en airconditioning werkte niet. Ontbijt was niet erg bijzonder, wel mooi uitzicht tijdens het ontbijt. Bushalte en bakkerij op loopafstand. Voor kort verblijf ok hotel.
Falta señalización para ubicar la recepción del hotel, esta cerca al centro de split, desayuno bueno, habitación más o menos, el edifico en general no tenía buen olor

Ensimmäinen saamamme huone alaarvoisen epäsiisti, useampi asia rikki, toisessa huoneessa jo taso hieman parempi mutta kokolattiamatot eivät kuulu 2020 luvulle.
Omistaja/omistajat selvästi haluavat säästää rahaa h, mikä näkyy kuluneina pyyhkeinä, annetaan ovien olla rikki, ei korjata lukkoja. Jopa allaspyyhkeistä pitää maksaa 5 euroa kpl mikä on täysin naurettavaa. Uimaaltaalla ei ole pukeutimistilaa eikä huoneissa kylpytakkeja. Alakerrassa henkilökunta tupakoi sisätiloissa, joka haisee käytävillä hyvin voimakkaasti, lisäksi voimakas viemärin tuoksu.
Yövuoron vastaanoton pojan voisi kouluttaa asiakaspalveluun, nyt todella välinpitämätön & ylimielinen suhtautuminen kaikkeen. Vastaanoton tytöt sen sijaan hoitivat työnsä kiitettävästi. Aamupalan ja ravintolan henkilökunta ystävällistä.
L'hotel Gala è in realtà la depandance dell'hotel San Antonio che guarda il mare mentre il Gala è situato tra il San Antonio e la strada. Quindi le foto che vedete della struttura sono del San Antonio. Il check in si fa quindi all'hotel Antonio . Quando si entra nell'ingresso dell'hotel Gala si stente una forte puzza che ho scoperto essere legata agli odori della lavanderia sottostante all'hotel.
Fuori dall'hotel grande disordine e sporcizia. Aprendo la finestra si trovano cose buttate dell'hotel come se fosse una discarica.
La camera , sebbene spaziosa, aveva il terzo letto in un divano letto che occupava tutto lo spazio di manovra ed aveva un divano distrutto , con doghe rotte e con impossibilità di dormire dal lato dell'apertura.
Una finestra tutta rovinata è coperta da una tenda e alcune tende sono anche bucate (non certo da 4 stelle).
La piscina all'ultimo piano del San Antonio è "dismessa" . Tutto disordine, puzza e sporcizia ovunque.
Colazione sufficiente .
Unico punto positivo è stata la gentilezza nel check in da parte del ragazzo che parlava italiano.
Per il resto non ho potuto cambiare hotel perchè nella zona erano tutti pieni ma certamente non lo consiglierei a meno che non venga ristrutturato.
Detta känns meningslöst men jag hoppas att jag kanske kan rädda nästa familjs semester. Hotellet är inte 4 stjärnor. Väldigt smutsigt och inte alls bra standard på hotell, mat eller annat. Stranden är fantastiskt och det finns massa bra aktiviteter och restauranger. Åk gärna hit men bo någonstans.
This little boutique hotel is just beautiful. Right on the beach at Podstrana, an easy 20 minute bus ride into Split from outside the front door! Breakfast was ok, the food in the restaurant was great and the staff could not have been more helpful!
Chambre d´hôtel décevante. Il y avait des fourmis dans la chambre, la première nuit nous avions de l´eau tiède, voire froide. Par contre le buffet du petit-déjeuner est très bon. Il se fait à l´hôtel qui est en face, vue sur la mer dans un cadre très agréable.
The location is absolutely fantastic. It's right on beach and the hotel has It's own cafe/restaurant on the waterfront. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Overall, we were very satisfied with our hotel stay here.
Our stay here was really nice I’d absolutely consider it again! However I think it’s better for a few days base to stay and explore the wider area rather than a resort to stay at for a week or more and not planning on journeying far. The spot is lovely! Right on the beach, but there’s not a great deal nearby in terms of bars and restaurants outside of the hotels own, a shop and a cash point and that’s it, but an Uber into split is only £8 or so and we were out on trips everyday so perfect for us! Service at checkin was great, excellent breakfast and beds made/fresh towels daily. The ONLY slight change I’d make was the old fashioned shag pile carpet in our room! Grosss... but other than that it was a really lovely place to stay! Be aware you’re in an annexe building of “Hotel San Antonio.” But it’s just fine, no need for that to put you off.
Great location on the beach. Family room had everything we needed. Buffet breakfast had good choice of food and was plentiful. Hotel is in a suburb of Split, around 20 minutes drive from the centre so most suitable for beach rather than sightseeing.
It was overall a very nice hotel!! But the pool was totally closed down sadly and I did not get any information for this before we booked the trip. Luckily the ocean was right by the hotel. 9/10 stars
