About

Solo traveler? No problem. Our cozy, social vibe makes it easy to meet people from day one — whether you’re hanging out on the balcony, joining dinner plans or just chatting in the common room.

We’re only 5 minutes from Bačvice beach, the Old Town, ferry port and main bus/train station, so everything important is within walking distance — from morning swims to late night bars and parties. The hostel is located on the second floor (no elevator).

We run regular activities like free/tip-based walking tours, workshops, group dinners, pub crawls and spontaneous hangouts — and if you feel like exploring further, you can book trips with us to Krka waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon, island hopping and more.

Come experience Split with us and become part of the Split Backpackers family.

Summary of traveller reviews

Split Backpackers in Split offers a fantastic location, close to the bus station and old town. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the hostel is noted for its cleanliness. While the common areas and kitchen facilities are compact, and bathroom wait times can occur, it's a great choice for solo travellers and those seeking a social atmosphere.

Split Backpackers is a class hostel in a beautiful and vibrant city. After stumbling my way through the door after a long day of trying not to bump into everyone with my stuffed to the brim backpack, Marija was a friendly face who checked me in and made me feel at home immediatly (thank you for returning my misplaced passport, I needed that nap). Marija also provided top-notch recomendations about the local area, and thanks to her Bistro Toć down the street recieved a healthy amount of business as I ate bre

I was only here for 1 night but it was a nice stay! Friendly people and social enough without feeling too much of a party hostel. Very clean facilities (though the showers and kitchen were a bit small) and one of the comfiest beds I've slept in in a hostel!
