The location.
The “ladders” going up to the top bunks in the dorm rooms were dangerous and hard to use.

Perfect center of old town. Look outside of the window, you see the Roman Forum in bed.
The size, especially the bathroom is on the small side, but given the location, I totally understand.

The location was great, and the breakfast was really good.
The shared kitchen isn't really a kitchen and it needs a refrigerator about 3 times larger to meet the needs of all the rooms.

The location is perfect. The Hostel is right in the middle of the old city center. The breakfast was good. There are enough options and all the stuff was fresh.
The room was very very small. We understand that this is a hostel, but the room could have been designed in a more practical and functional way. There was no closet for the clothes.

Location was great with a nice view of the historic plaza.
AC worked well and check in was easy.
Shower was not getting hot and I had to go downstairs to get it fixed twice with no elevator, not so good communication from the room to reception as no phone in the room.

* Excellent central location, within walking distance of everything.
* Clean, modern facilities.
* Four-bed dorms felt private thanks to the pull-down shades around each bed.
* Comfortable common area for remote work.
* Free luggage storage after checkout was very convenient.
* Breakfast was good, though a little more variety would be nice for longer stays.
* The bed pods can get warm if the shade is fully closed. I found that leaving a small gap at the bottom improved the airflow and completely solved the issue.
* The air conditioning doesn’t reach every bed equally well, so this is worth keeping in mind during the warmer months.
* The hostel is next to a church with a bell tower and a nearby nightclub, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. It didn’t bother me personally, but it’s worth knowing before you book.

Located in the heart of Zadar. Comfortable and semi private beds. Private bathroom in rooms. Friendly atmosphere.
Very strict with noise levels in common area. At 12 midnight you are not allowed to watch world cup or play pool because other customers complain. Not sure if in a hostel there are such a rules.

Well-located. Breakfast was excellent.
No elevator, which made it difficult for heavy luggage.

The hotel was in a very central location with views of the Forum and close to many bars, restaurants and shops.The second room that we had was a reasonable size and had a good view but it was very hot and the air conditioning was stuggling to keep the room cool. The maintenance man was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the breakfast staff very helpful
When we arrived we were given a room at the side of the property which had no view (not even a City view as per the description) as it had wooden shutters on the outside and was on a side street. It was very dark and the TV didn't work. The next morning we asked if we could change rooms and eventually we were moved to a much better room at the front of the building. The receptionist suggested that we should have requested a room with a view when booking but there was no option to do that. The fact that we were given such an awful room to start with may have been due to us having to check in after a trip in the afternoon. We arrived at about 10am and couldn't check in then. We had messaged the hotel to ask if we could check in early and were told that if our room was ready we could do so. The receptionist didn't even check when we arrived but simply said no rooms would be ready. We were able to put our luggage in a storage area however, but note that this is not secured and is just a cupboard near to the kitchen.
The description of the hotel says it is 700 yards from a beach - that is not correct. Certainly the sea can be reached in 700 yeards but it is a walkway alongside the sea. The closest beach is 15- 20 minutes walk away.

Perfect location in the heart of the old town, everything is a few minutes walk. The windows overlook a busy street, but the noise insulation is great. Both the rooms and the common areas were very clean. Breakfast had a great variety of sweet and savory.
The shower is tiny, the shower head is mounted too high up, I could hardly reach.

The location is absolutely perfect. You can access most sightseeing places in minutes, with a lot of good cafes and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was nice for a hustle as well.
I have stayed in cabin-style hostels before. I love them because they give more privacy but are also more modern better taken care of. Here, the privacy was there but the rollers and walls of the cabin needed cleaning or replacing. This isn't nice because in comparison to a normal bunk bed, youz are inclosed in this not so clean feeling space.

Location is prime, definitely second to none! The hostel was also spotless, it seemed that I almost always saw someone cleaning while walking along the aisle. Staff were very helpful and smiled at all times. And did I mention the location? Yes, amazing, indeed. And oh I almost forgot, they do provide a towel as well.
The Wi-Fi didn't really reach my room (1st floor, room XII), and the air-conditioning proved to be insufficient during summer. Also, the bed blinds are surprisingly noisy haha. The decoration is... particular, but I mean who cares.

The facilities are new and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom was nice and clean.
BUT there's the other side, read the whole review
To start with, when I asked for a bottom bunk, they said there's none. At my age climbing up is not so great and I asked twice with no positive outcome. Okay, maybe there were none... But this looks like a factory - over 20 dorms, where everyone is squeezed and not even one bottom bed. Bad luck then. Or unhelpful staff.
The dorms feel like a trap - everything is so packed. Walls are 50-70 cm from your bed, they had calculated every centimeter. If you're there just to sleep and do bed<>door, that should be alright.
Thank you for your information!
