Staff are so great and helpful. I would advise for travellers to buy the excursion from them too bec it’s way cheaper than outside. The place is convenient for everything.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had my booking cancelled and they demanded an extortionate rate to rebook the same room because a music festival fell on the same weekend. Instead of providing the room for the agreed price, they cancelled my booking and came up with all the excuses. The real reason being they’re greedy and wanted to squeeze more money out of me

The hostel is conveniently located in walking distance to the bus station and the city center. The building in which the hostel is, is not very good. The showers and toilets were clean. The room layout was fine. Beds were not comfortable. Especially getting on to the top bunk was a bit difficult. I was bit badly by some insects at night and had marks on my back and arms. Thankfully I had to stay there only for a night.

Worth a stay, but not the cleanest place!
We had a really lovely stay at Hostel Split Backpackers. I wasn't massively impressed by the cleanliness of the place, in particular the showers. Apart from that, the staff are incredible. Special shoutout to Nina, she was so helpful, giving us honest recommendations as a local. The location of the hostel is also great, and the beds are pretty comfortable.

I recommend you spend a couple extra euro and stay at another hostel. You won’t regret it. The hostel aparently changes their reception hours to bacially nonexistent during off season. I was lucky there was someone there when I came to check in, but the rest of my stay I hardly saw anyone and watched others struggle with check in. The man who was there occasionally wasn’t helpful at all either. He responded to everyone’s questions with “I’ll have to ask my coworker and get back to you”. After about 3 or 4 separate attempts of trying to pay my bill but no one being around, the man made an appearance. I tried to pay with my card and he told me there would be a 10% fee for using a card! It said nothing about this on their booking page. He then told me the total and it was about 6 euro more than my confirmation email said. I tried to show him the confirmation that said the price I was quoted but he kept saying he’d have to talk to his coworker. It all became too much of a hastle so I paid the extra euro. The location isn’t bad if you’re coming from the train/bus station. About a 5 minute walk and about a 5-10 minute walk to see the old town area. There’s not really a common area aside from the kitchen, which is very small. There’s no oven or stove just a microwave and fridge. Anymore than 3 people and it’s too crowded, which is often given there’s at least 3 8-person dorms. Overall, not a great experience. I recommend just booking somewhere in old town, they seemed nice.

This is a cheap alternative for a short stay in Split. Close to the ferry terminal and old town. Not the cleanest and only one toilet for men and one for women. But you're unlikely to spend much time in the hostel as too much to do in Split or the islands.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The staff went above and beyond my expectations. If you're an adventure seeker and want to find more secluded beaches, I highly recommend taking the ferry over to the island of Brac and renting a scooter to ride around the island. So worth it!

Noise, noise, noise
Stayed in the private bedroom. Looks like the photos. Nice and clean, close to boats and center. Tiny old TV. Bed was stiff as a board and the paper thin windows rattled when cars went by and didn't block out any noise at all. Good luck getting a night's sleep. Also, this room was separate from the hostel so guests coming home drunk mistook our door for the entrance and kept trying to pull it open in the middle of the night. No sound insulation from the stairs either. Get the other room facing away from the street.
