The location is excellent and comfortable, a lot of options around to eat and supermarket's, It is at least a 5-minute walk from the bus stop for the public bus that takes you to and from the airport. It has common areas such as the kitchen, counter and a leisure area.

That was my second time on the same type of accommodation on this hostel and this time the bed curtains was so dirty and looked quite disgusting. As everything was very clean on my first stay, I will give the accommodation a credit, maybe they haven't seen this problem before.

Great service, clean place, Location couldn’t be better, comfortable and pretty

The shower could have something where i could leave my clothes over for when i am done, some sort of shelf or better hooks. Also a bit of water ran out of the shower; but everything else Was just as good as it can get; especially for the price.

The staff is really friendly. Locker is provided for each guest. There is enough privacy for each guest in the room with the curtains. The bathroom is spacious enough and it's clean. The hostel also has a large common area. The location is also excellent. The room also has really nice air conditioning.

The hostel doesn't have enough hairdryers. I had to wait for so long for a hair dryer that I ended up giving up using one. Please consider adding some hairdryers in the common area or bathrooms. The hostel doesn't have a cooker, so I can't cook my own food. The hostel gave me an upper bunk bed, but the ladder is quite hard to climb. I almost fell. If you are a plus-sized person, it's almost impossible to climb up to the upper bunk bed.

Location - in the very heart of the old city, with the stunning church, Roman forum and sea view. Friendly and helpful staff. Possibility of dropping one's stuff if you arrive before check-in or leave the city a few hours after check-out. Pretty good breakfast with omelet and bacon/frankfurters.

The room is pretty small, and it's a bit challenging to navigate around/between the two beds. I badly hurt my feet twice to the wooden bed edges. The WC and shower are inconveniently separated. The sink is too small. So is the shower cabin, and the curtain isn't practical at all. Fresh vegetables for breakfast would be a nice supplement.

A great place to stay in the heart of the old town. It’s located on the main square, in the center of everything you’d like to see in Zadar. The hostel is also 5 min walk away from the shuttle bus to the local airport, which makes its location even better. Perfect for while waiting for your flight next day. We stayed one night in a separate twin room with a toilet and shower inside. The whole place was clean and good looking. The bed sheets were very clean. The city view was astonishing. Friendly stuff and a nice breakfast on top of that. It was cheaper than the rest of the options nearby when booking it a couple of months in advance to our arrival.

It’s a hostel so it’s probably expected the places of common use to be worn out a bit. Having the kitchen in the end of the corridor and terrace in a better, newer shape would be awesome. Yet again it was all good for the hostel in the middle of the old town and the price we paid. Having a small drawer or simply a shelf would be great as there was not much room to put you stuff in. Window blinders right on the window and not in fronting the windowsill would do a better job protecting from the burning sun and leaving the windowsill open for your use. Roller blinds would be perfect. Generally would be great to somehow improve covering the room from the sun and keeping the view outside.

I've stayed at a few hostels in my life but this was by far the best. It's in a perfect location right in the heart of the city so it's really easy to get around and also easy to find your way back. I was there during the Euro cup so of course there was a bit of street noise during the games but otherwise quiet. The rooms were clean and I really loved the bed situation because it was like staying in a capsule hotel. Each bed was in it's own little closed in space with a curtain so if you wanted some time to yourself you could just roll your curtain down and turn off your light. It was also nice that each space had private lockers for your belongings so you didn't need to worry about anything being stolen while you were out exploring. I personally didn't hang out much at the hostel so can't rate the common room spaces but the bedrooms were great.

Nothing bad to say

The sterility of it all. Loved it. There are moments where you are feeling alone and want to go to the craziest, most social hostal there is, and there are other times where you just arrived to the country, jet-lagged, waiting for your next proper booking -a cozy apartment in my case- and you just want a place to lay at without being bothered by noisy teenagers. The latter was my case and this is the perfect place for such kind of situations. I liked it so much, that when I had a problem between bookings -there was a night in between different apartments where I couldn't secure a good booking elsewhere- I just chose to go back here for a night and my experience was virtually the same. Just quietness in my little, private, unbothered sleep pod.

Central location was walking distance to everything in the city, including excursion tours and nearby beaches. Accommodation in four person room, no additional guests so like a private room stay. Great lighting switches in bed area and outlets. Toilet and sink are separated from the shower, all inside room. Shower has a small changing area. Each bunk has accessible hooks for jackets and towels on either side of the room. Locker drawer is fixed with keycard.Quiet rooms but good views of the pedestrian streets and the church. As additional night to previous stay, offered breakfast. Common library and pool table. Exterior stairwell and seating for outdoor access without street activities. Storage for baggage and staff were super and willing to offer help with any tours or questions.

Due to holiday travel season, off season a little quiet.

Quiet accommodation in the center of all sights and landmarks. Close to many squares filled with churches and eateries, so regular chiming of bells and social conversations. The hostel has small shared eating area and toilets on each floor. Shower is good and rooms are clean.There is a common outdoor stairwell and seating in the interior of the building. A pool table and variety of books make up the common chill room. Staff is always available to help out, at all hours. good safety inside and out. For a private room, light continental breakfast is offered. Small baked goods, cream cheese, deli meats, pate and jellies. Yogurt and granola, cereals. Juices water and tea. Delicious coffee. Staff can give many suggestions and are well knowledgeable about most all of the area and surrounding interests and sights. Safe. Baggage storage. Great location, easy to tourist bus station by bus and taxi.

Long hallways but good lighting. Within the hostel not all guests were friendly. Quiet, though traveling on holiday week. The toilet surrounding was sometimes small in the common areas.

Centrally located with a nice view of the church tower and the Roman Forum from the 3rd floor. Restaurants are close by and it's a 2 Kms walk from the bus station. We were only there for one night and can also recommend the "Thai massage" business around the corner. The practitioner is excellent and it was a very relaxing hour.

The carpeted ramps beside the bed are slippery in socks or even bare feet. I slid down on my backside, almost got wedged in the narrow bottom and had a very hard time getting up again. I got up twice in the night and finally got the hang of holding the wooden board and descended backwards. Also, a shelf in the shower would be nice to put my own toiletries on.
