Rough Guide
"Smart rooms and chic reception areas give the place a somewhat more exclusive air than the rest."
Fodor's
"Smart and reliable, the hotel's building dates back to 1921 and lies 10 minutes east of the city walls, overlooking Bačvice Bay."
Frommer's
"Even though this elegant hotel was modernized in 2004, Hotel Park's hallmark is its old-world formality, as it was quite exclusive during its heyday in the 1920s and '30s." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Split’s oldest hotel (since 1921) is much loved for its seafront location (behind Bačvice), the gorgeous palm-fringed terrace and amazing buffet breakfasts."
Star Service

If you object to late-night noise, forfeit the sea view and ask for a room at the back.
Time Out
"A lovely little place...the half-board rates on offer at Riva are absolute bargains, out of season, when the only sound you will hear is the occasional fishing boat." Full review

Ask about weekly rates, too – sometimes they offer seven nights for six.
