    A nice affordable hotel/hostel in the very heart of the old city with stunning sea view
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Standard Twin Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The room is pretty small, and it's a bit challenging to navigate around/between the two beds. I badly hurt my feet twice to the wooden bed edges. The WC and shower are inconveniently separated. The sink is too small. So is the shower cabin, and the curtain isn't practical at all. Fresh vegetables for breakfast would be a nice supplement.

    Location - in the very heart of the old city, with the stunning church, Roman forum and sea view. Friendly and helpful staff. Possibility of dropping one's stuff if you arrive before check-in or leave the city a few hours after check-out. Pretty good breakfast with omelet and bacon/frankfurters.

    Rooms are tight and you can hear noisy from the corridor.

    The location is great.

    The sound insulation wasn't good so we could hear the housekeepers very early in the morning screaming to each other 😂 but it was an experience, I least I got up early 🤭

    The location is stunning, the beds have amazing curtains to feel like in a pod, there's a mirror inside as well! The lockers opening with your key card is gold!

    Toilet and shower are not in the same room what I don't prefer. Place is nice to stay but still keep in mind that it is hostel, not hotel.

    Location is great in very city centre. I liked the breakfast, there was great choice of food.

    The location is absolutely perfect. The room was small but spotlessly clean and could be cleaned daily upon request. Breakfast was the same every day, but tasty. We were there in april and I would definitely recommend this place

    Due to holiday travel season, off season a little quiet.

    Central location was walking distance to everything in the city, including excursion tours and nearby beaches. Accommodation in four person room, no additional guests so like a private room stay. Great lighting switches in bed area and outlets. Toilet and sink are separated from the shower, all inside room. Shower has a small changing area. Each bunk has accessible hooks for jackets and towels on either side of the room. Locker drawer is fixed with keycard.Quiet rooms but good views of the pedestrian streets and the church. As additional night to previous stay, offered breakfast. Common library and pool table. Exterior stairwell and seating for outdoor access without street activities. Storage for baggage and staff were super and willing to offer help with any tours or questions.

    Long hallways but good lighting. Within the hostel not all guests were friendly. Quiet, though traveling on holiday week. The toilet surrounding was sometimes small in the common areas.

    Quiet accommodation in the center of all sights and landmarks. Close to many squares filled with churches and eateries, so regular chiming of bells and social conversations. The hostel has small shared eating area and toilets on each floor. Shower is good and rooms are clean.There is a common outdoor stairwell and seating in the interior of the building. A pool table and variety of books make up the common chill room. Staff is always available to help out, at all hours. good safety inside and out. For a private room, light continental breakfast is offered. Small baked goods, cream cheese, deli meats, pate and jellies. Yogurt and granola, cereals. Juices water and tea. Delicious coffee. Staff can give many suggestions and are well knowledgeable about most all of the area and surrounding interests and sights. Safe. Baggage storage. Great location, easy to tourist bus station by bus and taxi.

    The carpeted ramps beside the bed are slippery in socks or even bare feet. I slid down on my backside, almost got wedged in the narrow bottom and had a very hard time getting up again. I got up twice in the night and finally got the hang of holding the wooden board and descended backwards. Also, a shelf in the shower would be nice to put my own toiletries on.

    Centrally located with a nice view of the church tower and the Roman Forum from the 3rd floor. Restaurants are close by and it's a 2 Kms walk from the bus station. We were only there for one night and can also recommend the "Thai massage" business around the corner. The practitioner is excellent and it was a very relaxing hour.

    Bad equipped kitchen - you can’t cook here, no much cups and plates No soundproofing, could be noise from corridor, or toilet/shower. My second night was very noisy from disco club nearby, I felt basses on my pillow. Luckily it’s over at 1 am

    Amazing location, maybe the best one in Zadar - everything so close and nice view from the window Good beds with mirror, light, chargers inside. Privacy with blackout curtains Mattress is comfy Air conditioning Lockers on chip card Luggage storage Nice staff

    There is no kitchen but rather a tiny kitchenette with a tiny fridge, microwave and kettle. You cannot cook here.

    Easily the most beautiful hostel view I have ever seen with large windows facing the square. The rooms are laid out well with a seperate toilet and shower and plenty of privacy. Reception was helpful and happy to assist.

    Parking is about a 15 minute walk. Oh, and we couldn’t get any English channels on TV😳

    The location is in the heart of old town. And, it’s just so charming there. The room is small, but everything you need is here. The price was great as well.
