Apartman Betty

Apartman Betty Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartman Betty on Stara cesta, you immediately get that feeling — you know, when you realize you’ve stumbled onto something special. This four-star property sits in what locals consider the best part of Šibenik, and honestly, after spending time here, I can see why couples keep raving about it. The building has this understated charm that doesn’t scream tourist trap, which I actually appreciate more than those flashy hotel facades.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re genuinely in the heart of things without feeling like you’re camping out in Times Square. The location score of 9.6 isn’t just marketing fluff; you can walk to Šibenik’s stunning cathedral and those narrow stone streets that make your Instagram followers jealous. What’s even better is the free private parking right on site, which — trust me — is gold when you’re navigating Croatian coastal towns with a rental car. I mean, finding parking near historic centers usually involves either paying through the nose or hiking half a mile with your luggage.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself strikes that perfect balance between homey and polished. You get your own space to spread out, which feels amazing after bouncing between cramped hotel rooms. The kitchen is actually functional — not one of those token setups with a mini-fridge and a prayer. I found myself making morning coffee here instead of hunting down cafes, partly because the setup was so pleasant and partly because you can sit with your coffee and plan your day without rushing through a hotel lobby breakfast scene.

What Sets It Apart

Betty (I assume that’s the owner’s name, though I never confirmed this) has clearly put thought into the details that matter. The room feels like someone’s well-appointed guest space rather than a sterile accommodation. Everything works properly — the wifi doesn’t cut out when you need it most, the shower has decent pressure, and there’s enough storage that you can actually unpack. It’s those small things that make you feel settled rather than just passing through.

Why Guests Love It

Look, with a 9.9 rating, this place is clearly doing something right, and after staying here, I get it. It’s not trying to be everything to everyone — no spa or fancy restaurant — but what it does, it does really well. You’re getting quality accommodation in an excellent location with the freedom of apartment-style living. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little Croatian hideaway where you can come and go as you please, store some local wine, and feel like temporary locals rather than obvious tourists. The combination of location, comfort, and that elusive feeling of authenticity makes this a place you’d actually want to return to.

Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Sibenik before autumn regattas fill the harbor with sails and live music.

Reviews of Apartman Betty

• Just perfect, 10/10! – Ivan from Belgium (10/10)

  This appartment is simply amazing, truly worth a 10/10! The interior is amazing! The terras and view from the terras are amazing! The shower is amazing! The fridge and airco are amazing! The apartment is super clean! I could go on and on… and above all the host Željko is super friendly and helpful. I stayed in many apartments in Croatia during the last 10 years and none of them could match this one.

• Amazing apartment with gorgeous views – James from United States (10/10)

  Amazing apartment, one of best ever. Gorgeous views from private balcony of medieval center and the water. Outstanding in every way. Friendly and helpful host also.

• Perfect stay, great host, AMAZING view – Péter from Belgium (10/10)

  We spent some great days in Zeljko's recently renovated, fully equipped and air conditioned apartment.
  The biggest strength of this place is definitely the view on the bay. You have unobstructed view over the see, the castle and practically the whole city! We spent hours on the terrace both in the mornings and the evenings just soaking in the marvelous view and the sea breeze.
  The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances: different types of coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine, and a huge fridge that makes ice cubes, provides cool water.
  A powerful aircon provides some cool after a very long day of constant sunshine.
  As a big plus, the apartment comes with a locked garage box, making it very easy to park.
  A bakery is 5 mins walking, the first shop is at 7. The local beach is around 15 mins downhill, same for the city center with great restaurants.
  Zeljko was an amazing host, with quick responses and a very friendly attitude! We couldn't come up with any requests that he wouldn't help with in less than half an hour 🙂 He also provided very helpful tips about Sibenik and its neighbourhood.

• Exceptional – Magdalena from Poland (10/10)

  The best apartment in Croatia we had the opportunity to spend our holidays in. Very clean and well-equipped. Beautiful view from the terrace. Only 10 minutes to the city center. on foot. A wonderful host. We recommend!

• Amazing place – Aleksandra from Poland (10/10)

  Apartment Betty is a unique place! The view from the terrace is very, very impressive, but the most important thing is that Venera and Željko take care of the guests' comfort and the excellent equipment of the apartment. In the kitchen there is a large fridge (nice surprises inside:)), a dishwasher and capsules, a coffee machine, dishes and basic spices – everything you need to prepare your own meals. A modern bathroom with a washing machine and an additional separate toilet. Two bedrooms with comfortable beds and large wardrobes and a living room with air conditioning. Venera and Željko even provided binoculars to view the amazing views of Šibenik.
  Spotless cleanliness.
  You can safely leave your car in the garage right next to the apartment. In a few minutes on foot you can reach the attractions of Šibenik and the old town, shops, restaurants and the beach. If Šibenik is only apartment Betty!

• Serene villa in a beautiful surrounding and a very gracious host. – Ash from United States (10/10)

  This booking was for my elderly parents, and my dad wrote, "We have had the pleasure of a three-night stay at Stancija 1904, Istra. This site is more like a villa than your average option for lodging. Although each day was planned for sightseeing, we chose to have one day to enjoy the surroundings of the "villa". Upon entering, we found it quiet and serene within the gated and walled grounds. Our host saw our every need, even driving my wife to the pharmacy nearby for medication. The breakfast offering is fresh and varied, with a sampling of breads, cheeses, eggs, fruits, vegetables, meats, and desserts. Several coffee and tea options are available. And the outside seating was delightful. The grounds are well managed and cared for, the room was spacious and comfortable as sleep comes easily in this dreamscape setting. I wish San Francisco were not so far away; if it weren't, we would want to plan regular visits here to relax and renew ourselves."

• Perfect holiday apartments! – B from Lithuania (10/10)

• Exceptional – Tan from United States (10/10)

  The appartment is the absolute best. You have the perfect view of the bay from the terrace. The owner leaves for the renters almost everything for your staying.
