Boutique Hostel Forum, hotel in Zadar

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

The view and location were phenomenal. The room was very comfortable and organized in a good way, making good use of the space and decorated in a pleasant way. There were a few stains on the carpet, but I guess these things happen and are hard to get out. The staff was absolutely wonderful, kind, helpful, etc.

Hostel had a very nice vibe, staff were all super friendly, especially Daphne. Beds were comfy, showers and toilets were always clean. Staff did the best to keep the kitchen as clean as possible every night. Location was great, there were both a supermarket and pharmacy next door. Parking was super easy and the bus stop was near. Had a lot of freebies to take which were helpful.

    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.
