Welcome to Hostel Split

 

Al's Hostel offers the chance to stay in the heart of the Old Town of Split, Croatia. In a hostel with a kitchen, a common area, and an English speaking host who cares about his guests all this in a great location 2 minutes walk from the sea front, and about 8 minutes (with a heavy pack) from the Ferry terminals, Bus and train Station.

Here the Old Town really is on your doorstep. The hostel is in a house over 800 years old and has some of the original stone wall on display. Fitted with all the modern amenities you'd expect for a comfortable stay. Our common area (part in the Old Fireplace next to the kitchen) is much in demand and the scene of many a wine fueled evening's entertainment.

In keeping the hostel limited to 12 beds a friendly intimate atmosphere is almost guaranteed and for this reason the Hostel is particularly suitable for solo travellers rather than couples and we have a strict "no shagging" policy in the dorm. In the summer we have a appartments where we can accomodate couples who might want more privacy.

At present we are NOT known by the local tourist board, or the local "ladies" down by the bus/train/ferry station so if you can't find us get a phone card and call, we can help. As we are NOT YET OFFICIAL asking for directions may mean you end up staying somewhere else!!! The "touts" at the bus station or by the Tourist Info may also mislead you..Please, please please use the map and directions.

"Al's Place located right in Old Town feels like a cosy pension. British Al is an expert on Split, the surrounding area and Croatia in general and organises group diners, nights out on the town and excursions... Book early as the 12 beds fill up fast, though Al will help you find a place if he's booked.
