    - The place must be decluttered - The manager was not nice to me. It felt weird for him to randomly come to the room and scold me for doing something out of my control. regardless of the situation, hospitality is key in this business. - Not your typical hostel

    - The hostel is only walking distance to the center. - I enjoyed talking to Bruno! - AC was very good

    You occasionally have to wait for a free bathroom. But hey, who gives a damn.

    If you're considering this place, expect a bit of punk. If you're looking for a sterile, fancy looking generic accomodation, look elsewhere. If you're OK with a bit of punk, you're going to love it here. Your chances of meeting some nice people here are pretty high. Staff is great, especially JJ. And the cats. I'm a dog person, but I loved the cats anyway. You won't regret coming here.

    The bathroom is very small so you'll probably be a bit cramped brushing your teeth in the morning.

    It's a decent hostel with big rooms which means you'll probably be waken up by other guests coming through but that's to be expected of a dorm room. There is a locker with a key where you can leave your belongings. The rooms are decently clean. However it's not possible to close the curtains so you'll probably be woken up by the light. For women there's only one toilet, 2 showers and one small sink. There's a small kitchenette, a fridge with some free food that has been left behind by other guests. The cats are very adorable and social. There was also a nice atmosphere where we often played games in the evening with other guests and some employees. There is a small bakery one street down. Stores and the city center is very close.

    The ‘kitchen’ and toilet are very cramped, and there is only one toilet for all the women staying there (not sure about the men’s bathroom) but it made it a bit tricky if multiple people needed to go at once. The shower situation also isn’t great as there’s no locks for the shower and nowhere secure to put your things whilst you shower, like your clothes and towel etc. There was also a power cut which lasted a decent amount of time which meant aircon wasn’t working inside, so everyone was just sat outside in the 30+ degree heat getting bitten by the mosquitos (this wasn’t the hostels fault at all and was resolved the same day so not their fault). The fuse also broke on the stove whilst cooking but this wasn’t listened to by staff for a while and was told ‘it isn’t broken’ when in fact, it was broken all along and we weren’t originally listen too, which was a bit frustrating. And we were told not to lock or even properly close the doors in our room, which was a bit weird (i know this is due to a recent incident which has broken the doors so again not fully the hostels fault, but i do feel this does need to be fixed. As the doors didn’t shut without locking, i was sleeping with the light from the hallway shining onto me and it wasn’t the best) . But overall it isn’t bad at all and would stay again, it was a great price and we didn’t have a bad experience, just things to take into consideration if you are planning to stay here.

    We adored the cats, the beds were comfortable, we made lots of great relationships with the other residents and overall had a pleasant time at the hostel. We didn’t feel too uncomfortable at all, the hostel had a nice chill vibe and i got a good night sleep there.

    The location is about 1km from the center, hilly walk. Nearest beach is about 20min walk.

    Its very clean and you have small space to work outside between 8am to 10pm. There's a fridge and small space to cook. The bed was clean.

    If you want to follow your circadian rhythm, is not the place to be. Looks very hippie, but hippie things are not allowed in there. And I did not like the idea to share with all men.

    I did like the staff and the location of the property. Very close to center, supermarkets, even walks in nature. To me, wherever there are cats, is a good sign.

    This is a party planners hostel for boat trips. If that's not your thing stay somewhere else. Kitchen is basically a shelf. Location is incredibly difficult to find, no signage, I arrived late at night and was lost.

    A social place with small social areas inside and out. The room was decent.

    Very nice, very economical hostel but without a lot of physical space.

    Kitchen facilities are almost non-existent. Don't plan on cooking a meal here.

    Outlanders is a very good hostel with congenial guests and a sparse volunteer staff. The price was exceptional, 11€ in early April. The layout is a little cramped and the only indoor common area shares a small room with the reception desk. The long narrow porch offers outdoor seating. There is an ample guest refrigerator but no way to cook. Dormitory is quiet, beds are comfortable and have accessible light and electricity. A Lidl supermarket is 7 minutes away on foot and the edge of the large Marjan Forest Park is about the same. Neighborhood street parking is quite easy but the municipal bus terminal is a substantial 23 minute walk. Cats are ever present (the dormitory door has a sign "Keep cats out during the night"), which some travelers will see as positive, others negative.

    Unique place in Split

    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    The only problematic thing I realized is that there are only 2 toilets/ bathrooms (one for women and one for men), so it is possible, that you will wait in line for using it.

    I actually chosen this hostel, because from the reviews it seemed that it has really special vibes. And yes, it is a little bit "punk" style hostel. It is also a budget accomodation and it looks like that. However, the hostel has really, really unique spirit, so if you want to see something other than unificated tourist industry, definitely don't be afraid of somehow lower ratings on Booking. The hostel is located in pleasant and practical part of Split (few minutes from the old town, but not directly there, so you can feel "normal" Croatian everyday life). It has beautifuly arranged kind of terrace and a small but nice social room. The kitchen is equipped with all dishes, so you can prepare some meals by your own. Dorms are a little bit dark, but it is enough, if you want just to sleep there :) Hostel staff is really friendly and helpful! They offer some interesting city activities as well (as a historical city tour or a cooking workshop), which I have not experienced, but it sounds great. Another nice thing is quite late check-out time - fine both for early birds (you can wake up in the morning and enjoy the city a bit before you leave) and sleepers (you can rest without any stress). Oh, and the most important thing! There are cute cats living in the hostel. Lot of cats. However, keep calm: you almost don't see any hair nor other "stuff" related to the kitties, so you can just enjoy their company in common room and terrace.
