Top Of The City

Top Of The City Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Top Of The City in Šibenik, I’ll be honest — the name had me expecting something flashy on a rooftop. What I found instead was this solid three-star hotel tucked away on Put Gvozdenova, and honestly, the location turned out to be way better than any gimmicky high-rise setup. The free parking right on site was my first pleasant surprise (you know how tricky parking can get in Croatian coastal towns), and the whole place just felt… well, properly Croatian without trying too hard.

The Perfect Šibenik Base

Here’s what I really appreciated about staying here — you’re actually in a residential area that feels authentic, not some tourist bubble. The walk into Šibenik’s old town takes maybe 15 minutes, which means you can easily pop back to your room for a midday break without it being a whole production. I mean, when you’re exploring those medieval streets and it gets hot (and it will get hot), that quick retreat option is gold. Plus, couples seem to get this — the location rating from pairs is consistently high, and I can see why. It’s close enough to everything but far enough to feel like you’re not sleeping above a café terrace.

The Room Experience

The rooms are what you’d expect from a well-run three-star — clean, comfortable, with decent air conditioning that actually works. Nothing fancy, but everything you need is there and it’s all maintained properly. The beds are surprisingly good (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathrooms are modern enough without being sterile. What I liked most was how quiet it gets at night — being in that residential pocket means you’re not dealing with late-night street noise from bars or restaurants.

Getting Around & Local Perks

The restaurant situation nearby is actually pretty great — there are several family-run places within walking distance that locals frequent, which is always a good sign. The hotel staff pointed me toward this little konoba about five minutes away that I never would have found otherwise. And honestly, having that parking spot secured means you can easily do day trips to Krka National Park or even zip over to some of the quieter beaches without the stress of finding somewhere to leave your car when you get back.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies, but it does something more valuable — it gives you a genuine base in Šibenik without the tourist markup. The recent guest ratings speak for themselves, especially that location score. You’re getting honest value here, the kind of place where everything just works as it should. If you want to experience Šibenik like someone who actually lives in Croatia rather than just passing through, this is your spot. The fact that it consistently delivers on the basics while keeping you connected to the real rhythm of the city — that’s what keeps people coming back.

  We liked the location very much: quiet area, supermarket and busstop close by . And above all the beautiful sea view on the islands.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom badly needs an update. The wasmachine is a very old top loader. The balcony has no sunshade. No airconditioning in the 2 bedrooms.

  The host was very nice and friendly.
  The parking space is available in front of the house.
  Affordable price.
  
  What could be improved: The room is very small with two steps which constitute a trip hazard (I stumbled once).
  Very tiny bathroom with shower curtain instead of shower doors leading to high risk of flooding the floor.
  No shower gel available.
