The style, decor, furnishings are perhaps typical for a 3 star hotel - absolutely fine, but not amazing. If you have mobility issues, you should know the hotel is located by some old steps and the entrance to the hotel is up a flight of steps. The breakfast was fine - it had enough of the basics set out as a buffet that you could have something for most tastes, but it was limited and perhaps quite typical of a 3 star hotel. This is quite a small hotel; there isn’t a lounge or a bar where you could sit comfortably for an hour or two - this occurred to us because it rained hard (late July visit) and there wasn’t really anywhere to go but to sit on our beds in our rooms.

The hotel has a great location, just steps from the Roman Amphitheatre, which is quite fabulous; steps from a garden and the sea front; and about 10 minutes walk to shops, restaurants, bars on the main tourist road. The hotel is in an old building, which has pros and cons, but it is quite charming. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The parking worked just fine - we pulled in to drop off bags and it was just a very short walk to the car park (outdoor, up the road). There was excellent air conditioning in our room. The bed was comfortable. Despite the central location, there was not a lot of traffic noise and we found the hotel quiet.

Room smelled of cigarettes. No lift.

Friendly and helpful staff- owner stayed up for us to check in late and helped us with our bags. In the morning receptionist called us a taxi and was very friendly. Comfortable room. Decent breakfast included.

A bit dirty, the floor was not clean. The sink was functional but half broken.

The staff and location. Nice room size

Stayed in July 2025

I’d consider to be a bit more flexible in letting people sit after breakfast instead of getting very insistently complimented out of the room at 10:01. Otherwise, everyone else was exceptionally nice, kind and helpful

The receptionist was kind and helpful and fully understanding. Nice hotel on excellent location just meters away from the Arena.

High stairs before you come in if no man in the Reception, it will be complicated to go in upstairs

Nice place for a short staycation, super location

It was difficult to find where the hotel parking lot was but the owner took his car , very nice of him and showed us where it was. The room was small , but doable . The rooms with two separate beds are on the third floor. , no elevator. But the owner carried the bags up for us

Wonderful location. Right next to the amphitheater.

The bathroom was hard to move around in, but the shower/tub was large.

The Staff and location were excellent. The Air conditioning was working well.

While location was great to visit the amphitheatre there is not much else to do in the area. Hotel Scaletta was a great place to stop over at the end of the day to refresh and move on.

Staff very helpful, rooms updated and comfortable. Breakfast was very good.

Tea and coffee making in the room would have been good and more toiletries

Could be better value,that doesn't necessarily mean cheap,but the place was a bit tired.Shower was draped over the corner bath,had to hold with one hand whils sat down. Not the end of the world but could be a problem for people with limited mobility.

Very good breakfast,comfy bed

Stayed in May 2025

Breakfast could have been better! Very basic European breakfast! Not a lot of choice but they would make scrambled eggs if you wanted!

Staff were very helpful helping lifting bags to our rooms! We were on the 3rd floor with no elevators! Very old building so understandable! Rooms were comfortable and clean! Close to the Roman Forum and old town.

Stayed in June 2025

Smallish room, no real view (laneway). Breakfast was average.

Close to historic centre and restaurants. Availability of parking also a bonus

Fitted sheets were slightly too small so tended to slip off.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Went out of their way to help with our bicycles.

It’s an old building, and the fitout and amenities are not as slick or luxurious as the other places I stayed in Croatia, (yet this was both the smallest room and most expensive room I stayed in). The latches on the shutters on my window seemed to be broken, so I couldn’t open the louvres to let light in. If I left the shutters open, they banged open and closed in the wind, so I had to keep everything shut up. That being said, I think this comes with staying in an old building, and I could live with this for my 1 night stay given the convenience of the location and how helpful the staff were.

Convenient location close to the bus station (which is an easy, flat walk, other than the flight of stairs between the street and the hotel entrance). Same street as the stunning Arena. 24 hour reception and ability to store luggage. The staff were very helpful with carrying suitcases up and down stairs as there is no elevator. I was kindly given access to my room straight away when I arrived early in the morning.
