The Spot – Rooftop in the city centre + Parking

The Spot – Rooftop in the city centre + Parking Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Spot – Rooftop in the city centre + Parking, you immediately get why this four-star property has such stellar ratings. It’s tucked right on Ulica Ante Starčevića, which honestly couldn’t be better positioned if you tried — you’re literally in the heart of Šibenik’s old town, surrounded by those gorgeous stone streets that make this Croatian coastal city so special. The building itself has that perfect blend of historic charm and modern touches that you hope for but don’t always find.

Location & Neighborhood

I mean, couples rating the location a perfect 10 tells you everything you need to know, but let me paint the picture. You’re a two-minute walk from Šibenik’s stunning cathedral (that UNESCO World Heritage site everyone talks about), and the waterfront promenade is right there too. What’s brilliant is that you get all the energy of being in the center without the chaos — this particular street has just enough buzz during the day but quiets down beautifully at night. Plus, and this is huge for Croatia, there’s actually free parking included, which anyone who’s driven along the Dalmatian coast will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Rooftop Experience

The rooftop is honestly what sets this place apart from other accommodations in Šibenik. You’ll find yourself up there constantly — morning coffee overlooking the terracotta rooftops, evening drinks as the sun sets over the Adriatic. It’s not some tiny afterthought either; they’ve created a proper space where you can actually relax and take in those views that stretch from the old town’s medieval walls all the way to the islands dotting the horizon. The perspective you get of St. James Cathedral from up there is something you won’t see from street level.

The Accommodation

The rooms strike that sweet spot between contemporary comfort and respecting the building’s character. You know what I appreciated? The attention to practical details — proper blackout options for those summer nights when the sun seems to never set, excellent air conditioning (crucial in Croatian summers), and bathrooms that actually have decent water pressure. The furnishings feel thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered from a hotel catalog, and there’s enough space to properly unpack and settle in, which makes all the difference when you’re exploring a city like Šibenik.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating isn’t just about the prime location or the rooftop views — though both are exceptional. It’s the combination of being able to park your car safely and forget about it while you explore on foot, having that perfect base to return to after day trips to Krka National Park or the nearby islands, and genuinely feeling like you’re staying somewhere special rather than just convenient. The staff clearly know their city well and can point you toward those local spots that make a trip memorable. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own elevated retreat above one of Croatia’s most beautiful historic centers.

Reviews of The Spot – Rooftop in the city centre + Parking

• Silvana from Germany – 15 October 2024 (10/10)

  Very kind and thoughtful host, amazing central location with great view, very cool and clean interior (very comfortable and chic and I loved all the little steampunk details) and so many amenities like coffee, sugar, spices, cleaning products etc.
  We felt right at home and would love to stay here again!

• Tony from New Zealand – 27 September 2024 (10/10)

  Great location – fantastic views on both sides of the apartment. Fully equipped and comfortable apartment. Highly recommend.

• Carol from United Kingdom – 4 June 2024 (10/10)

  There were two balconies, one with sea view and one of the city, seating in both areas with lots of plants, very nicely done. The apartment itself was contemporary, fun and tasteful. The bed was large and comfortable. All the amenities you could want including dishwasher and washing machine. Very close to everything and Sibenik was a warm and friendly place to stay. Would definitely stay again. And the host was extremely pleasant and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: No toaster or kettle (but that is a British thing). There are a lot of stairs with no lift, but the apartment and views are well worth the effort!

• Lucija from Croatia – 16 October 2023 (10/10)

  In strict centre, this apartment has it all, from different coffee makers and coffee, to detergent for laundry. Clean, comfortable, with 2 amazing terraces. Host is super nice and open to answer all your questions. Parking is 3 minutes of walk from the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The only downside of this apartment is that it has no elevator, but once you see the view from the terrace, you forget all about it.

• Jennings from Canada – 27 September 2023 (10/10)

  Perfect location, close to everything, parking was good
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Eva from Germany – 27 August 2023 (10/10)

  The host is very friendly, nicely furnished and fully equipped apartment, wonderful terraces, good location, highly recommendable

• Antonija from Germany – 22 August 2023 (10/10)

  We liked everything. Small details, a big terasse, view on the beautifull church and fortress, central location, parking close by and a great host.
  
  What could be improved: The only problem were stairs if you have a lot of baggage or some elderly that needs to clime on 4th floor.

• Tracey from Australia – 11 August 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely, quirky apartment in great location. We booked it because it had a car park. The host Drazon met us at the car park which is a 10 minute walk away. He helped us with our bags and escorted us to the apartment.
  The apartment has 2 terraces with fabulous views. It is however on the 5th floor without an elevator. Drazon carried our cases up and down when we were leaving. The stairs may be challenging to some.
  We enjoyed staying in Sibenik!

• Akvile from Lithuania – 21 July 2023 (10/10)

  Fully equipped apartment.
  Wonderfull view from the terace. Terace big, nice to sit in the evening. Good location in the city center.
  Parking is about 10 min on the foot, simple to use.
  The owner very helpfull, kind person.

• Viktor from Montenegro – 9 July 2023 (10/10)

  Our stay here was just amazing! The owner is incredibly responsive and caring, ready to help, speaks perfect English. The apartments reflect their owner: nice, artistic, cozy and hospitable!
  Amazing location close to the entire infrastructure and landmarks such as old fortresses, the old city with local shops and cafes, the embankment, etc. There is also absolutely everything for a comfortable stay – a dishwasher and washing machine, air conditioning, a kettle, a full kitchen and a refrigerator, and everything you need for comfortable cooking, great places to sleep (when you are over 30y.o., having a comfortable mattress becomes a must have) 😉 perhaps for older people and people with a lot of luggage it will be an important factor that the apartment is on the fifth floor in a building without an elevator – for us it was not important. A big plus is the availability of a free parking space 5 minutes walk from the building. The terrace with a stunning view, luxurious flowers and cozy decoration is worth a special mention. We spent here the evening and met morning with coffee – it was amazing.
  We were very touched to found pleasant little things that are truly show the care about the guests – city guides, various utensils and appliances, household items, etc. Here we found ourselves not guests but beloved friends who expected and were cared for. Stay here a real pleasure, a sincere recommendation!
