    Located in the heart of Zadar. Comfortable and semi private beds. Private bathroom in rooms. Friendly atmosphere. Very strict with noise levels in common area. At 12 midnight you are not allowed to watch world cup or play pool because other customers complain. Not sure if in a hostel there are such a rules.

    The location was excellent, the facilities clean and I had a nice one night stay!

    No elevator, which made it difficult for heavy luggage.

    The hotel was in a very central location with views of the Forum and close to many bars, restaurants and shops.The second room that we had was a reasonable size and had a good view but it was very hot and the air conditioning was stuggling to keep the room cool. The maintenance man was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the breakfast staff very helpful When we arrived we were given a room at the side of the property which had no view (not even a City view as per the description) as it had wooden shutters on the outside and was on a side street. It was very dark and the TV didn't work. The next morning we asked if we could change rooms and eventually we were moved to a much better room at the front of the building. The receptionist suggested that we should have requested a room with a view when booking but there was no option to do that. The fact that we were given such an awful room to start with may have been due to us having to check in after a trip in the afternoon. We arrived at about 10am and couldn't check in then. We had messaged the hotel to ask if we could check in early and were told that if our room was ready we could do so. The receptionist didn't even check when we arrived but simply said no rooms would be ready. We were able to put our luggage in a storage area however, but note that this is not secured and is just a cupboard near to the kitchen. The description of the hotel says it is 700 yards from a beach - that is not correct. Certainly the sea can be reached in 700 yeards but it is a walkway alongside the sea. The closest beach is 15- 20 minutes walk away.

    Perfect location in the heart of the old town, everything is a few minutes walk. The windows overlook a busy street, but the noise insulation is great. Both the rooms and the common areas were very clean. Breakfast had a great variety of sweet and savory. The shower is tiny, the shower head is mounted too high up, I could hardly reach.

    Beautifully colored little rooms. Clean and nice. Right in the heart of old town. Nice staff.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location is absolutely perfect. You can access most sightseeing places in minutes, with a lot of good cafes and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was nice for a hustle as well. I have stayed in cabin-style hostels before. I love them because they give more privacy but are also more modern better taken care of. Here, the privacy was there but the rollers and walls of the cabin needed cleaning or replacing. This isn't nice because in comparison to a normal bunk bed, youz are inclosed in this not so clean feeling space.

    - location was right in the old town - staff were really helpful and lovely - it was clean and they did a bathroom clean everyday -

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location is prime, definitely second to none! The hostel was also spotless, it seemed that I almost always saw someone cleaning while walking along the aisle. Staff were very helpful and smiled at all times. And did I mention the location? Yes, amazing, indeed. And oh I almost forgot, they do provide a towel as well. The Wi-Fi didn't really reach my room (1st floor, room XII), and the air-conditioning proved to be insufficient during summer. Also, the bed blinds are surprisingly noisy haha. The decoration is... particular, but I mean who cares.

    The facilities are new and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom was nice and clean. BUT there's the other side, read the whole review To start with, when I asked for a bottom bunk, they said there's none. At my age climbing up is not so great and I asked twice with no positive outcome. Okay, maybe there were none... But this looks like a factory - over 20 dorms, where everyone is squeezed and not even one bottom bed. Bad luck then. Or unhelpful staff. The dorms feel like a trap - everything is so packed. Walls are 50-70 cm from your bed, they had calculated every centimeter. If you're there just to sleep and do bed<>door, that should be alright.

    Fungus on carpet, terrible damp/moist smell

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    - Great location directly on Zadar’s main street in Old Town, next to St. Anastasia’s Cathedral - Clean and stylish with a game room where there is a pool table, darts, and a projector with area to chill with lots of cushions - Dorms have en-suite bathrooms. - 24-hour reception - Rooms are very compact with little room to move through

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location right in the center of the old town, beautiful view from the windows, and a 24-hour front desk. We didn't arrive until 10:30 PM, but after dropping off our bags, we still headed out for an evening in the city. Good-sized room with a private bathroom and shower. And that sea view from the window... highly recommended! Very good continental breakfast, everyone will find something for themselves — whether you prefer sweet or savory options, from muesli to sandwiches with scrambled eggs and bacon. It's best to go for breakfast on the earlier side because the dining room is quite small for a hostel that can hold up to 100 guests, and I saw people waiting in line to get in.

    Very private feeling in a dorm room.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It's really convenient place, easy to access any place place Pld Town. And perfect that you can check-in at night. It placed near to the church - so be ready to loud bell song at 7 am. Also bell rings shortly every hour. Also towels were missed when we checked in, but personal gladly provided us some. Also strange shower. It's for really high people.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Unique design-chic and convenient (I especially like the mirror by my bed that I used to put on make up every day). I have stayed in different hostels all over the world. This hostel stands out in its design. Friendly and considerate staff-when I checked in, the young lady at front desk specifically told me I will have the upper bunk. After I asked if it is possible for a lower bunk since I am staying for two nights, she found one for me. By the way I m an extremely heathy 70 old lady. I can use upper bunk with no physical limitation. Yet her consideration made me feel being thought after in a graceful way. None

    People and location No ventilation in room unless opening the window which faces the bar and street so it’s very loud. Should include fans and ac in room since it’s congested
