Solaris Apartments

Solaris Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Solaris Apartments, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical tourist accommodation. The building sits quietly on Podsolarsko street, and honestly, that’s part of its charm — you’re staying somewhere that feels more like a neighborhood than a hotel district. The three-star rating might seem modest, but with a 9.1 guest rating, there’s clearly something special happening here that the stars don’t capture.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying at Solaris Apartments — you’re actually in Šibenik, not just visiting it. The location scored a whopping 9.2 from recent guests, and I can see why. You’re close enough to walk to the old town and those famous stone streets, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds outside your window. Couples especially seem to get this balance right (they rated the location 8.9), probably because you can have romantic dinners without fighting for reservations at the touristy spots. Plus, there’s free private parking on site, which — trust me — is gold in Croatian coastal towns where finding a parking spot can turn into an unexpected adventure.

The Apartment Experience

What sets Solaris Apartments apart is that you’re getting actual apartment living, not just a hotel room with a mini-fridge. I mean, you’ve got proper kitchen facilities, which means you can hit up the local markets and actually cook with Croatian ingredients if that’s your thing. The spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile, and there’s something refreshing about having room to spread out your stuff. You know what’s nice? Coming back after a day of exploring Krka National Park or the Kornati Islands and having a place that feels like a temporary home base rather than just somewhere to sleep.

The Šibenik Advantage

Staying here puts you in one of Croatia’s most underrated cities, honestly. While everyone’s fighting for space in Dubrovnik or Split, you’re exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites without the crowds. The Cathedral of St. James is a short walk away, and you can actually appreciate it without being elbowed by tour groups. From Solaris Apartments, you’re also perfectly positioned for day trips — the waterfalls at Krka are about 20 minutes away, and the coastal road toward Trogir is absolutely stunning if you’ve got a car (which, remember, you can park for free).

Why Guests Love It

The 9.1 rating tells the real story here. People come expecting a decent three-star place and leave feeling like they discovered something special. It’s that combination of being in a real Croatian neighborhood while still having everything you need as a traveler. The apartments give you independence — you can grab pastries from a local bakery for breakfast or cook dinner with fresh fish from the market. You’re not trapped in the hotel bubble, but you’re also not roughing it. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little Croatian apartment, even if it’s just for a few nights.

• Chisavu from Romania – 31 August 2024 (8/10)

  The location was excellent. There was a stony beach at 5 minutes walk and a much nicer beach, in Brodarica with free parking, showers and free toilets. This one was 5 minutes by car. Kaufland is at 7 minutes by car, Lidl also and the mall from Sibenik at 7 minutes also, by car. The house guest was excellent! The mattress could be better, but maybe we have a sensitive back. The knifes need sharpening. On the other hand, a well equipped kitchen, with microwaves also. The terrace was nice, the balcony also. Overall, we had a really nice experience given the fact that we had our 5 years old son with us.
  
  What could be improved: The mattresses. Sharper knives.

• Estera from Slovenia – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  Lastnika prijazna, ustrežljiva. Apartma velik in lepo opremljen. Posteljnina, brisace vse čisto. Terasa dopoldan in pozno popoldan v senci.
  
  What could be improved: Morje je sicer blizu,ni pa na tej plaži nobene naravne sence. Tako da smo hodili okoli zalivcka na drugo plažo v senco, kar pa se otroci kar nahodijo.

• Тетяна from Ukraine – 20 July 2024 (9/10)

  Гарні апартаменти, затишно, гарні матраци, тераса.
  
  What could be improved: Не змінювали постіль, не додавали туалетний папір, не було прального засобу, сміттєвих пакетів. ПЛЯЖ 15-20 хв! За 5 хв дикий пляж з камінням на ньому не купаються туристи, там морські їжаки .

• Anna from Poland – 7 July 2024 (9/10)

  Pokój dobrze wyposażony, czysty. Blisko do morza, bardzo spokojna okolica. Gospodarz miły i pomocny.

• Emile from Netherlands – 1 October 2023 (9/10)

  Friendly host

• Jožica from Slovenia – 31 July 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment is in front of the beach. Solaris is near the city center, you can easily take a ride with the bus.
  There is a small garden araund the hause (flowers, limet tree). Kitchen is well equiped with all the stuff for cooking. Ther is no microvave, but it still ok. Atmosfere is really good, you are in the nature. Beach is nice, not overcrowded with people. By te Amadria hotel you can take a nice walk, observe the sunset… If you stay in Šibenik I recommend Solaris apartments.

• Maria from Bulgaria – 12 June 2023 (7/10)

  Very kind hosts, and a great welcome. The room was very clean and well prepared for visitors, the location is close to a bus station. There was an AC which helped a lot with the warm weather. I needed an umbrella and the host gave me one for during my stay, they even offered to give me a ride because of the rainy whether. These were very kind small gestures, so I was very happy with the overall attitude of the hosts. There was an anti-mosquito device, which I really appreciated.
  
  What could be improved: The room was quite dark, and I was expecting to find at least some instant coffee, sugar and water in the room but unfortunately there was none. Usually I wouldn't mind, but there is no shop nearby where one can easily buy those. Which brings me to the location – not convenient in terms or grocery shopping, but very close to the beach which is nice.
  
  The biggest issue with the room is that the bathroom is very very small. So for the toilet is fine, but then there is a shower with a curtain. There was a drain only on the shower stand, and none on the actual floor, so it gets flooded very easily. It is difficult to prevent that, as the showering space is too small. So especially for ladies that need to wash their hair, this could be quite uncomfortable.

• Nancy from United States – 6 October 2022 (6/10)

  outdoor seating. parking. easy access.
  
  What could be improved: construction noise very loud. less than minimum supplies. very dirty kitchen sponge.
