Boutique Hostel Forum, hotel in Zadar

Offering free WiFi and air-conditioned accommodation units, the newly built Boutique Hostel Forum is located in the very heart of ancient Zadar, next to the Romanesque St.

Beds were comfortable and you have curtains for even more privacy. Toilet and shower are in the room, so it is shared only between 4 people, and they are separate which was great. However, the shower is super tiny so it might be bit uncomfortable. One big towel is included and cleaning staff would swap it at least once if you are staying more than 3 days. Also, they would clean everything daily (including toilet and the shower) which is amazing. Cudos to the cleaning staff they are amazing and super fun! Location is the best you can have in Zadar and the veiw from the room is beautiful.

Hostel Sunset, hotel in Zadar

Lovely staff, really helpful and a great place to stay if you are a woman travelling alone. It's not in the Centre but if you want to be directly on the beach it is perfect and the walk to Old Town along the beach is about 30 minutes.

Tequila Bar Hostel, hotel in Zadar

AGE LIMIT FOR DORMITORIES IS 18-45 Located within the historic core of Zadar, Tequila Bar Hostel offers an on-site bar and free WiFi access.

Very nice cheap hostel. Check-in was a bit difficult as it's in a different location than the actual hostel but the communication was clear. Check-out consisted of dropping of the key in a letter box. Rooms are clean and big. I slept in the lower bunk bed which was very close to the upper one but still very comfortable. AC available. Little shelves at the bed to put your essentials such as glasses. Plugs right beside the bed. Storage under the bed that couldn't be locked and additional storage in the hallway available with key. The bathroom was clean but extremely small and cramped. It was not possible to lock the door of the shower so you just had to hope people saw and heard someone was in the shower. There was a kitchen and fridge on the upper floor however I didn't use it. Nice central location with a lot of restaurants and bars close by.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    All hostels should be like Sky Hostel! All the rooms were clean and very well maintained, and the design of the dorms was so well fitted to the guests: it has comfortable and stable bunk beds, free lockers and even a little fitting booth so you can dress with some privacy. Two bathrooms to share, free towels to use and even free laundry service. And Rozana was incredibly friendly and helpful with a map and tips for Zadar. This has definitely been the best hostel I have stayed at so far!

    So far the best hostel I've been to in Croatia. Very clean and tidy - which to me, is very important. I appreciated how the location was in a quiet, safe neighborhood, at walking distance from the noisy old town - I was able to get lots of sleep and wake up to a nice coffee. The staff was very helpful and kind, they even let me check in a bit earlier.

    It was one of the best hostel i have stayed till now. Super clean, well secure rooms and luggage storage. So comfy beds and with curtains it makes it more private, doesn't feel like you are in a hostel. And Friendly staff makes it much more better. And of course great location, middle of the old town, everything is on walking distance. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.
