Goli + Bosi Design Hostel

Goli + Bosi Design Hostel occupies a prime position on Morpurgova Poljana, a small square immediately adjacent to the northern wall of Diocletian's Palace in central Split. The name translates from Croatian as 'bare and shoeless', signalling the property's commitment to a relaxed, contemporary design ethos: white and warm-wood interiors, custom bunk configurations with individual privacy curtains, and personal power outlets and reading lights at each bunk — amenities that distinguish it from standard dormitory accommodation. The hostel offers a female-only dormitory alongside co-ed 6-bed dorms, and includes private double rooms and a family room for guests who need non-dorm sleeping arrangements. The rooftop terrace bar is one of the hostel's most significant assets, providing elevated views across Split's terracotta rooftops toward the Adriatic and the distant island outline of Brač; it operates as the primary social hub from early evening into the night through the summer season. A ground-floor bar serves espresso, cocktails, and light snacks throughout the day. Free WiFi and secure lockers are standard in all areas. Full air conditioning operates in all room types. The location is exceptional for a budget property: the Peristyle, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, and the underground cellars of Diocletian's Palace are all within a two-minute walk. The Riva waterfront promenade, where Split's evening social life concentrates, is a three-minute walk south. Reception staff provide information on ferry timetables to Hvar, Brač, and Šolta, and the hostel regularly hosts social events that bring guests together. The property suits design-aware budget travellers, solo backpackers, and social hostel guests who want a central location combined with communal energy and a quality bar on the premises.
