The Jadran hotel in Split is a bit of an odd place. In fact the building is part of the fomer training center of the Croation waterpolo team and served before as accomodation for coaches and (I guess) players. It makes that you are staying in a sport complex and it shows in the design of the hotel. Nothing wrong with that but keep in mind that the rooms with seaview are actually looking out over swimming pools which these days are used to give mostly younger people swimming lessons. It’s not accessible for hotel guests so if you are in for a swim, you will have to divert to the little beaches in the vincinity.
And as swimming lessons start early in summertime (7am), don’t forget to pack earplugs if you want to sleep a bit longer.
The room itself is pretty nice. Nothing fancy but at least the airco is working perfectly. The door is still locked with a good old key , which you have to return to the reception everytime you leave the hotel.
Breakfast is OK with a decent choice and can be taken outside, however don’t expect a great view as the terrace is enclosed between the different pools.
Big plus of this hotel is the location, which is at walking distance of the city center so you can leave your car at the hotel at all times. There’s a big (free) parking lot...The Jadran hotel in Split is a bit of an odd place.

Big plus of this hotel is the location, which is at walking distance of the city center so you can leave your car at the hotel at all times. There’s a big (free) parking lot about 50 meters from the hotel. It’s probably the best solution to park your car if you want to use it before noon as the little car park in front of the hotel is completely congested during the first hours of the day (remember the swimming lessons going on).
In summary, despite the fact they turned part of a the sport facility in a ‘hotel’, I can recommend the Jadran as it’s a good base to visit Split.More
