Heritage Hotel Life Palace

Our 1st time in Croatia and this hotel was certainly one of the highlights!|The staff were all incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. |The building and decor is absolutely 1st class, and the location is perfect.|The "buffet style" breakfast was very well laid out and delicious. |We treated ourselves to massages and the sauna, highly recommend!|Without a doubt, we will stay here again when we return to Sibenik.

This hotel is really, really, cute and the people who work there are incredibly kind, giving it a bed-and-breakfast vibe (shoutout to the lovely Jelena!). It’s not your typical hotel… it feels privately owned and operated although it isn’t. The location is great and while there isn’t super close parking, I found the garage nearby to be safe and convenient. The best way to feel like you live in old town with the amenities of a hotel.

Our third hotel in Croatia and our least favourite. |Great location but the room is not good. Tiny wardrobe located high in a plinth. Very odd. WiFi virtually nonexistent, keeps cutting out. Shower is either cold or scalding. TV doesn’t work and room decor is shabby. Breakfast is mostly machines ( coffee etc. ) sliced white bread you toast yourself, eggs await you in a Bain Marie, no prepared fruit, yoghurt etc in supermarket packs. To be fair if you like meat, cheese, tomatoes etc. it looks ok. |Staff are keen and pleasant but don’t seem able to fix stuff.

The hotel's location on a charming traffic-free square in the centre of town is a big plus. Our rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. The huge advantage was the warmth and generosity of the front desk staff, Katerina and Matej made us feel entirely at home, constantly offering useful advice and suggestions.

Amazing location, very nice rooms and historic!! Lovely staff, very helpful. Cute spa room with a dry sauna and massage area. Just note the parking is offsite. Nice garage nearby that requires a 4 minute walk, on cobblestone streets, to the hotel with luggage.

The Life Palace hotel is a boutique hotel of (we reckoned) 17 rooms in the middle of the old city of Sibenik. It has a café/bar, open during the daytime only, and a spa which we didn’t see.|Our room was a big one, with stone outer walls overlooking a busy public square with restaurants and buskers – never a problem, since the double-glazing was efficient - and we enjoyed watching large numbers of swallows flying at dawn and dusk. The bathroom was straightforward – toilet, shower, sink – and in decent condition with plenty of flat surfaces. Overall, the room was very comfortable, with the significant exception of a lack of storage. In particular, the wardrobe was small with hanging space too short for a woman’s dress, or even a man’s jacket. With huge amounts of floor space available, this makes no sense – unless the furniture budget ran out.|Breakfast was a pure buffet – no service or cooking to order – and was fresh and acceptable, but unexciting.|The staff were few in number but excellent in quality. They were always helpful and one went well beyond the call of her duty in helping me to get some broken spectacles fixed.|Finally, readers should know that there is a price to be paid for such a characterful hotel in such an excellent location. That price is that the area is pedestrianised and there is no access for any motor vehicle. There are potential drop-off points not too far away, but choose the wrong one and you will need to climb a lot of steps, definitely putting the “lug” into “luggage”. Fortunately there are points with step-free access some 250m away; plan carefully.

Stayed here because we also stayed at this hotel in 2018 and we were super happy back then. Unfortunately the hotel has gone backwards slightly over that time but it is still very good. Breakfast is excellent and generous. Rooms are clean and a little funky. Shower pressure in room 103 is very poor, but our friends who stayed in room 104 had good pressure. Location is perfect in the middle of the old town. They no longer have an arrangement regarding car parking. Would probably stay here again if we ever visit Sibenik again.

Beautiful hotel! The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, friendly and thoughtful. They heard it was my birthday and surprised me with champagne and a gorgeous cake - with sparkers, birthday song and all! Their restaurant recommendations were excellent, and cafe AMAZING. Cake was out of this world! Room was clean, comfortable and quiet - we slept very well. We left rejuvenated and so grateful for the kindness of the staff at Heritage Hotel Life Palace.
