Tchaikovsky Hostel

Amazing location near the old town in Split. Great bedroom space and locker space Very generous compared to the first hostel I stayed in Croatia. Curtains on beds made it feel more comfortable and private. Which was a added bonus. Kitchen small for the amount of rooms to accommodate, but we made do! Very accommodating staff and owners who helped with recommendations for island trips and places to go to in the city. Very attentive and always in cleaning the hostel/ doing maintenance. Owners mother as others mentioned was so accommodating and friendly. Making the place feel warm and welcoming. Even when my friends lost contact because of my issues with data she went out of her way to contact me. I couldn't have appreciated it me. I was safe but to take that extra care was above expectations. Me and 2 friends plan to come back next year so looking forward to our return! Thank you 😊 See you in 2026

Fantastic. Solo traveler, stayed for 4 days. Had good communication through booking.com, instructions were clear on how to find the place, and check in. The location couldn’t have been better. So close to old town and the water (5 min walk). The price was great and I can confirm that the owner’s mother is absolutely so nice and as others have mentioned, like your own Croatian grandmother. She leaves fresh fruit in the common area from the market for anyone to eat. She check on everyone in my room to make sure we have everything we need and were taken care of. The people in my hostel were very nice, couldn’t have been better. There was also a community balcony which can fit about 3 people but it’s very nice to have the option to sit outside, especially if it rains you can still sit and be dry. I took a lot of time researching all the hostels and this was by far the best choice I made. The beds also have curtains so you have privacy. Definitely will be coming back whenever I return to split.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! Clean rooms, amazing atmosphere and nice staff. Thanks to Mirjana for providing an amazing time, free fruit and coffee and even cake. This hostel gave me a little family for the time being. I will definitely come back one day!

One of the most convenient hostel I've visited. Huge lockers, many shelves for each bed, electricity and curtains of course, no mess even if the room is full. Quiet area only a minute walk from many restaurants and grocery shops.

This is a very small, modest hostel so it was perfect to meet other travelers. The kitchen is where it all happens and many of the visitors are very sociable. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner’s mother offers fresh fruit almost daily and is so nice and shows great hospitality. It’s like having your very own Croatian mom. The reception desk also offers very honest and unbiased recommendations of what to see. If there is a downside, I’d say it’s the tiny shower, but ironically it was always available. Maybe because most of the travelers in the hostel were female for some reason.

Quiet and cozy hostel. Probably had the best bed set up I have seen in a hostel in Croatia; big lockers, wooden bed frames with built in shelves and good curtains. But the mattresses were not the most comfortable. Location was great, supermarket around the corner and walking distance to the center without being in the busy area. The vibe was ok, the hostel was a bit small for me, I think it has only three or four rooms so the vibe was not super social. I would definitely recommend.

This is, undoubtedly, the coziest hostel I’ve ever been to. Mirjana is a lovely person, she will go way beyond your local typical hostel expectations and will make you feel like at home. Hostel is clean, spacious and has many facilities that will make your stay more comfortable.

Bit of an odd hostel which seems like a converted 3 bedroom apartment. But beds were decent, clean and staff really lovely. My boyfriend had a really bad sleep due to noisy aircon (4 bed dorm) and some rooms you need to walk through another room which is a bit odd. The shared space is really small and wouldn’t say location is amazing. It’s decent for the price though and attracted nice people.
