    Too good that it is often not available. If you need, you have to pay 3€ to rent a towel, but the total price is still reasonable. Less options to dry your clothes (from swimming).

    Enough big high box to store your luggage and handle clothes. Atmosphere in the room was calm and relaxed. Nice courtyard. Staff was flexible when I needed changes due to unexpectable objective reasons.

    One side of the bed was still uncover, maybe to add curtain there also. Not enough space in the shower and toilet that you are sharing with others.

    Great location. It's in the center and close to everything. Beds had separate curtains, which is great.

    There is only one toilet and one urinal. The washroom can be more spacious.

    The hostel is in the heart of the old town, but the surrounding it quite. Stuff is really helpful. The room is exactly like picture and there is enough space for storage. The kitchen is cozy and the outdoor space is good.

    Bathroom facilities are rather small, and the shower is in poor condition. Quite expensive considering it’s a hostel and not a hotel.

    Perfect location, couldn’t ask for more! Breakfast was fabulous, even though it wasn’t in buffet format.

    Minor quibble, curtain not quite wide enough for window. Not an issue if you have eye masks.

    Fabulous location. Nice decor. Very comfy beds. Beautiful outdoor courtyard. Very helpful staff. We arrived early and they kindly let us into our room early. Well equipped room. Staff helpfully organised our airport transfer. As peaceful as you would expect for anywhere in Zadar Old Town (bring eye masks and ear plugs)

    You can't cover the end your bed but nobody cares about anyone so not a big deal.

    Everything was so clean and every bed has plugs, a mini table and a mini lamp. The toilets were also clean. Location is right in the city center so nothing is far away from you.

    Considering that most people come here for the beach. It would be nice to have some drying rack or a possibility to hang and dry the swim suit/towels

    Great location in the historical center but away from the main street so it wasn’t noisy at all. The rooms are nice and spacious, each bed has a curtain providing privacy and a small lamp/socket. I really liked the bed set up with the stairs for the upper beds. Locker comes with a key so no padlock required. The hostel also provides beach towels for a small fee and has a nice and well-equipped kitchen. Would definitely come back here if in Zadar.

    I had such a lovely stay here! The service was truly outstanding – everything felt clean, cozy, and well cared for. The staff were always warm, friendly and smiling, which made a huge difference for me as a solo traveler. I felt safe, welcomed, and appreciated every little detail. From the welcoming manager Maria and the beautiful receptionist till the unbelievable amazing cleaning staff, Bozena and Nina.Honestly, I can’t understand the negative reviews about the service, because my experience was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a place that feels like home away from home.

    Tiny room+ charged the same amount fitv1 person and 2(didn't even erase 1 breakfast cost..not fair.) The nuce young lady at the reception said she follows the order of the boss. Besides- wasn't clear howbto operate the tv+no one could help. Most of the place is a hostel with shared rooms.think the price was too high for such a tiny room( with a dangerous stair inside...)

    Great location.good breakfast
