Location was great in the middle of Zadar. Room was small and bathroom was smaller , but it was clean. Breakfast was very good. My room seemed to be able to hear everything in another room through the air duct …odd.

Excellent location right in the old town moments from the sea. Fast WiFi. Good aircon but no ability to open windows for fresh air. The private room was an awkward shape, ok for one person would be hard to fit two people with luggage. Not many plug points. When I checked in didn’t have towels (didn’t receive until next day) and the previous guests contents were in the fridge still so attention to detail was lacking.

We stayed overnight before catching a plane. The rooms are great with everything you need and a good en-suite shower room and very comfortable bed. Wonderful views too over the Harbour. We were allowed to check in early at no extra cost and they provided packed breakfast as we left very early. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed in a private double room. Super tiny room and bathroom. I was barely able to open my luggage inside the room. I chose this room type thinking there would be a nice view like advertised, but it didn't come with one. Breakfast was okay. Location was great.

Very centrally located funky hostel - our room had an incredible view over the forum from which we really enjoyed people watching (just to note there were concerts playing each evening so could be noisy from music but it always finished around 11 and the room was well insulated from general street noise). The compact room was cleverly designed and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was simple but good and the location was very central. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely place, great location and wonderful staff.

I just returned from a short stay at hostel forum for a few days. I booked my own room which was lovely with a fantastic view. The location in the middle of the old town is fantastic, im so glad that i ended up picking this hotel over any others. The reception staff were particularly great, really friendly and always helpful whether it be for advice, booking tours or just a chat in the evening, it was really lovely. I would really recommend this place for a couple of days in zadar.
