About

En Route Hostel - Split

En Route Hostel sits in a quiet residential pocket of Split, roughly a 14-minute walk from the Church of Saint Martin and within sight of the Croatian Maritime Museum. The location splits the difference between the port, the old town, and the beaches – most guests found everything reachable on foot.

Inside, the vibe is firmly social. A big common area, a well-equipped shared kitchen, and board games encourage hanging out, while dorm beds come with curtains, reading lights, and charging ports for when you want your own space. Lockers are notably roomy, and luggage storage is available, which travellers arriving early or leaving late will appreciate.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Roomy dorms with proper privacy — Reviews repeatedly call out the spaciousness of the rooms – even in a 10-bed dorm – and the curtains, reading lights, and plugs at each bed.
  • Free on-site parking — Guests mention free parking in the supermarket car park below the hostel – a rarity in Split and a real money-saver.
  • A genuinely social common area — The lounge and shared kitchen are described as lively and easy to hang out in, making it simple to meet people, especially for solo travellers.
  • Clean, well-kept facilities — Cleanliness comes up again and again – bathrooms, showers, and rooms all get consistent praise.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dorm-only accommodation — There are no private rooms – just mixed and female-only dorms. If you want your own space, this isn't the place.
  • Not right in the old town — It's a 14-minute walk to the Church of Saint Martin and similar to the old town – doable, but not a doorstep location.
  • Reception hours are limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive late, you'll need to make arrangements in advance – though guests mention pin-code entry for after hours.

The bottom line

If you're travelling on a budget and want to meet people, En Route Hostel delivers on the essentials – spacious, clean dorms, reliable AC, a social common area, and free parking. It's a short walk from Split's old town and beaches, which most guests found reasonable. The main questions are whether dorm living suits you and whether the slightly out-of-centre location works with your plans.

8.6A strong, sociable hostel with a few structural trade-offs – not a private-room hotel and a bit of a walk to the old town.
