Marina Bay Zenta Luxury Rooms — Hotel in Grad Split

I'm really surprised there aren't more reviews for these comfortable and well-located rooms in Split; we booked off the back of some excellent reviews on Booking.com and were so pleased with our choice! The rooms are located about a 20 minute walk (at most) from the 'centre', by which I mean the main ferry harbour and Riva/ Old Town area. They are right on a pretty marina, with a couple of good restaurants on the doorstep (a few are literally based in the same complex). If you continue your walk away from the centre you come to some nice little pebbly beaches for swimming (with good amenities). Your walk into the centre will take you past Bacvice beach. We really enjoyed the picturesque walk in during the evenings, and the opportunity to walk off what was inevitably a big meal on the way back at the end of the night! ||||I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive when we were first led to our room on checking in; having already descended one flight of steps to get to the reception area we were led down another, and I was slightly worried that our room might be subterranean! However, we were delighted with the room; the pictures online really didn't do it justice. Clean, bright and modern in décor, with a big window with views of the marina. We paid a little bit extra for the room with sea view and private terrace, which was fantastic! The terrace itself is huge, directly overlooks the pretty marina, and is equipped with comfortable seating, a table and a big sunshade. The room next door also had a big window with a view of the marina, but no terrace. ||||One of the biggest positives about our stay here was the service. We unfortunately can't remember the name of the girl on reception who checked us in, but she was amazing! Split was the first stop on our little tour of the Dalmatian Coast, and she really was such a lovely introduction to the hospitality of the Croatian people. Incredibly friendly, warm and helpful from the start, she gave us lots of ideas about where to go and how best to get there, offered to help us book a taxi when we needed to get ourselves and our luggage to the ferry and hadn't pre-booked anything, and just genuinely seemed to show a real interest in what we had been up to and our comfort throughout the whole stay!||||We ate in the restaurant based in the same complex on the one night (can't remember its name, but it is the one with the outdoor seating and terrace overlooking the sea), and the food, service and setting were all lovely. ||||If you are looking for good value, clean and comfortable accommodation during your stay in Split, and don't mind not being based right in the centre, I can't recommend this place enough! One word of warning- our taxi driver from the airport had a little trouble finding the exact location to drop us off at on the first day (he was quite young and had never been there before)- after a little driving around, he phoned the rooms (we had the number to hand) and spoke to the lady mentioned above who went out of her way to guide him and come up to the...

Wir suchten ein ruhiges, preisgünstiges und an den Tennisplätzen naheliegende Unterkunft. Über Booking.com fanden wir genau dieses Zimmer, direkt im Marina Bay Zenta zum Preis von 65,- EUR pro Nacht.||||Vor Ort erweckte es zunächst einen atemberaubenden und sehr modernen Eindruck und wir bezogen voller Vorfreude unser schickes Doppelzimmer mit Beistellbett Nr. 3.||||In der Zusammenfassung viel uns folgendes an Positivem auf:||+ Lage direkt am Yachthafen, Ausblick wie aus dem Bilderbuch||+ Zimmereinrichtung an alles gedacht, geräumig, gute und grosse Betten, Fön, Tv mit int. Programmen (kein deutschen Sender), sehr schöne Dusche, Klima gut angeordnet, Möbelierung aus dem Hause IKEA, ||+ Minibar aufgefüllt und preisgünstig||+ große Panorama-Schiebefenster||+ im Haus selbst drei gute unterschiedliche Restaurants (International, Italiener, Konoba)||+ sehr freundlicher Empfang, nette Angestellte einschl. Reinigungskraft||+ Zimmer sehr sauber||+ Frühstücksauswahl a la Karte, direkt im Restaurant, ca. 7,- EUR||+ schnelles und kostenloses WiFi||+ Bezahlung mit Karte oder Cash möglich||||Nach so viel Positivem kommt jetzt leider das große Aber, was uns zur Nichtweiterempfehlung veranlasst hat.||||Negatives:||Die Lage hat auch gravierende Nachteile nämlich die Lautstärke. ||||Harmlos sind hier noch der brummende Kühlschrank und die Papierwände zum Nachbarzimmer, wo man jedes Wort verstand und folgedessen dem Schnarchkonzert nicht entkommen konnte.||||Extrem und für die ansonsten schöne Unterkunft ist das daruber liegende Restaurant. Bis Mitternacht ist an keinen Schlaf zu denken, da die sich bewegenden Holzstühle auf dem Fliesenboden dermaßen laut sind, dass erst nach Restaurantschluss die Ruhe einkehren kann.||Nach 6 Stunden, sprich gegen 6 Uhr morgens, kommt dann die Reinigungskraft, die dann sämtliche Tische und Stühle zum Tanzen bringt. Ein unerträglicher Lärm lässt einem eine ganze Stunde lang kein Auge mehr zu machen. ||Hier ist dringend Handlungsbedarf mit dem Restaurant angesagt. Denn hierfür gibt es gute und einfache Lösungen.||||Dagegen bei den morgendlichen Anlieferungen, 07:00 Uhr sehen wir weniger Lösungspotenzial.||||Alles in Allem wäre es sicherlich ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt geworden aber nicht, wenn man nachts kein Auge...

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura le notti del 25/26 agosto, al costo di c.a 50€ a notte. Arrivati sul posto ben prima dell'orario di check in, abbiamo potuto lasciare i bagagli e cambiarci, per poi tornare successivamente a prendere le chiavi della camera. Star Rooms si trova a sud est della città vecchia di Spalato (=Palazzo di Diocleziano), a c.a 2km a piedi, affacciata su un sereno porticciolo turistico. Proseguendo da entrambe le direzioni, si trovano spiagge, alcune di sabbia (soprattutto allontanandosi dalla città vecchia, verso SE), oppure sassi e scogli (camminando lungo la costa in direzione della città vecchia, con un paio di eccezioni di spiagge sabbiose, che però sono molto distanti dal mio immaginario di "sabbia". Infatti, in Croazia, suggerisco di optare solo per il sasso: la sabbia delude). Fuori della struttura ci sono dei posteggi liberi (non scontato) e annessi all'albergo ci sono un bar terrazza, un ristorante e una pizzerie (...o pizzorante...). La colazione del ristorante sito sullo stesso piano della reception di star rooms l'ho trovata personalmente molto appetitosa, tra le migliori della vacanza. La camera è mediamente pulita, ampia; il bagno è ben strutturato, con una doccia molto confortevole; purtroppo, in quella a noi assegnata non c'era né un terrazzino, né un davanzale dove poter stendere teli e costumi ad asciugare e abbiamo dovuto arrangiarci con gli appendipanni in bagno. La TV prende anche alcuni canali di cinema in lingua originale, quasi sempre inglese, sottotitolato croato. C'è pure il frigo bar e una fortissima aria condizionata (mai dimenticarla accesa o sembrerà di essere nel pianeta dei pinguini). La camera non è silenziosissima, data la vicinanza a ristorante e pizzeria, ma in generale si dorme piuttosto bene, con tende scure che non lasciano entrare la luce e letti abbastanza comodi. In generale, un...
