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.

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.

Standard hostel, good location but the hostel itself was nothing special. Said all rooms have a view but mine was of the wall opposite.

Beautiful view over the forum, nice room, quiet, in the middle of the old town. Just great!!!

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!

8/10

Excellent location and clean at an affordable price, but too tiny to take a shower and a shortage of shelves in dormitory. No good in wifi connection as well.

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.

I just returned from a short stay at hostel forum for a few days. I booked my own room which was lovely with a fantastic view. The location in the middle of the old town is fantastic, im so glad that i ended up picking this hotel over any others. The reception staff were particularly great, really friendly and always helpful whether it be for advice, booking tours or just a chat in the evening, it was really lovely. I would really recommend this place for a couple of days in zadar.

Location /Room not as nice as implicated on the pictures. No sea view. Room quite tiny. Breakfast very simple. To good value for the price.

Spectacular location!! Great breakfast service. The only issue is the lack of elevator (we were told that due the location within the Old City, the authorities are very strict about installing a lift within the facilities). Maybe the front desk may offer help to take the luggage to the rooms...

Very clean and well maintained hostel (I would use hotel). We lived in a standard room with twin beds on the second floor (XII) facing another building, and it was very quiet. I was glad that we didn’t have the view, as I preferred the quietness. Comfortable beds, nice dark room (wooden window shades), clean and comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of the old town, so everything is in the walking distance. We loved it, and would come again. Breakfast was good, had everything you could need (eggs, bacon, bread, coffee, croissants, cream cheese, some veggies). For the price you are getting a lot. Truly recommend.

This was the most expensive room in my trip and I stayed in old town centers in Zagreb and Athens. Very barebones room. Doesn’t even have a mirror and only one charging port in the room. Unless you get a room facing the sea, the view would be a block of wall of another building. Super claustrophobic. The breakfast staff was kind and nice though.

Attention at the front desk, very kind. Room/Bathroom, too small (no amenities) Cleaning was fine, except the floor... Breakfast ok. Price too high for that kind of room (2-I)

Whilst the hotel was fine, I unfortunately accidentally booked two rooms instead of one. The hotel said it’s fine they will refund one. I contacted Hotels.com who have been unable to contact the property so my refund of over £100 still hasn’t been actioned.

There is no aircon. They advertise that they do but appears they only allow you to turn it on at certain times of the year. Location is amazing but we probably wouldn't stay again as the room got quite hot and uncomfortable. Opening the windows didn't help all that much. It would be a 5 star place otherwise so worth a stay if you're okay sleeping in a hot room. It should be okay during winter or if they actually allow guests to use the aircon. The false advertising is pretty disappointing though. Otherwise the staff are friendly. They also offer breakfast included but we didn't try it. It's also a good idea to bring earplugs as the rooms are right near a bell tower that chimes throughout the night.
