Location was great in the middle of Zadar. Room was small and bathroom was smaller , but it was clean. Breakfast was very good. My room seemed to be able to hear everything in another room through the air duct …odd.
My nephew and I stayed in a room with 2 twin beds. The shower was tiny, but the location is central and fantastic. We upgraded to our own rooms the following night, and these were amazing and worth the extra money. They're spacious with wonderful views. The breakfast buffet is great. They don't have laundry there, but we found a place down the street. Rooms were clean and cool. The staff was very kind.
Perfect location and view.
Good breakfast.
Room was comfortable

We stayed overnight before catching a plane. The rooms are great with everything you need and a good en-suite shower room and very comfortable bed. Wonderful views too over the Harbour. We were allowed to check in early at no extra cost and they provided packed breakfast as we left very early. Would definitely stay again.
Perfect hostel stay in the heart of Zadar old town. The bunk beds felt very private, and there was a shower and a toilet to share between 4 beds in one room. The staff were helpful and the beds were comfortable.
Excellent location right in the old town moments from the sea. Fast WiFi. Good aircon but no ability to open windows for fresh air. The private room was an awkward shape, ok for one person would be hard to fit two people with luggage. Not many plug points. When I checked in didn’t have towels (didn’t receive until next day) and the previous guests contents were in the fridge still so attention to detail was lacking.

Staff are helpful. Location of the hostel is excellent. The hostel itself is stylish with good amenities and common areas. Breakfast is great. The only issue is the flushing system which is too weak.
I stayed in a private double room. Super tiny room and bathroom. I was barely able to open my luggage inside the room. I chose this room type thinking there would be a nice view like advertised, but it didn't come with one. Breakfast was okay. Location was great.

The location was excellent, the room had clean bedsheets and a clean bathroom, the walls / floor had seen better days and I struggled to ser how the actual room matched the website photos. Breakfast was plentiful and good, pleasantly surprised. Staff was very nice.
Amazing location in the middle of the old town . We had a private twin room and a gorgeous view of the square. The beds were comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good then best I have had in a hostle it had hot and cold food not just continental selection . I would definitely stay here again If I ever come back to zadar

Beautiful view over the forum, nice room, quiet, in the middle of the old town. Just great!!!
We liked the hostel very much, because the situation was so good. Everything was near by. Breakfast was good. The staff friendly. We could come back to this hostel again, if travel again to Zadar.
Very centrally located funky hostel - our room had an incredible view over the forum from which we really enjoyed people watching (just to note there were concerts playing each evening so could be noisy from music but it always finished around 11 and the room was well insulated from general street noise). The compact room was cleverly designed and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was simple but good and the location was very central. We would definitely stay again!
