    It’s fine for 1-2 nights if you’re on a budget, but nevertheless I expected more for the price

    Rooms were small, walls were so thin that you could hear everything happening in other rooms and the corridors. It was not very clean. The breakfast which was included is not very good - it’s basically slices of bread and some jam which looked expired

    It was 5 min walk to a very nice public beach

    The corridors were very echoey. I was in a private room at the far end of the corridor and could hear people talking from the communal spaces at the other end. This was made even worse when there were youth sports teams staying, who were running around slamming doors at 5am.

    The place was nice enough, basic but that comes with the price, I didn't need any more.

    The breakfast was kind of weak. Not terrible. But it was basically just bread and you could put some deli meat on it

    Great facilities, and safe!

    Location is a bit away from the main town and there is only one bus which connects. But the benefit is that the place is in a quiet neighborhood and close to one small beach area.

    We loved the overall property and the helpfulness of the staff.

    There was no place to dry your wet clothes. Also, only in my bed area the little light was not working, which was a bit inconvenient. And it would be great to have women and men rooms separately, it is a lot safer for women than when all live together.

    The hostel is located just near the beaches, there are 3 different beaches nearby. 20 mins ride from the city center, quiet area. Stuff was friendly, everything was clean.

    Just bit out of town.The problem by the way may not be of the hostel itself but of the town administration that doesn´t provide public transport to go back from town at night like any other touristic town have and/or must have.

    Perfect place. Good location very close to different beaches.Good and big open relax area, competent and flexible management, very close from the beach. Easy to arrive, easy to move.

    - the hostel is old, and everything in it is old too: rooms, shower, bed linen - only four sockets in a room for six people - promised lamps for each bed are missing - the Internet connection in our room was so weak we couldn't use it - a very strange key system: there is only one key for the room, and the last person who leaves dropes it in the reception. not all guests understand this and take the keys with them, so other ppl can't get into their room - really far from city center - no one to maintain order: one girl in our room found another person sleeping in her bed

    + okay breakfast for the price + two good beaches nearby (and the only sandy beach in zadar) + clean area + small bar on the ground floor where you can buy drinks, and a couple of bars/cafes within minutes + incredibly friendly and helpful staff. top notch!

    People arriving in the middle of the night, drunk, noisy and etc. It's not the hostel's fault but still a negative point.

    The staff is amazing. The hostel was quite clean in general. They clean the rooms everyday. Breakfast is simple but really good.

    There was nothing disappointing.

    We rent a private 2 bedded room with own bathroom. It was very simple but clean, breakfast was also simple but fine. There is a bar in the middle of the hostel so it’s a bit loud night time. The area is amazing, there is a beautiful beach just some steps away and lot of bars and restaurants, parking was free on the street.

    The room has a shower, but you need your own towels

    The private room with breakfast included is excellent value and the check-in is 1pm when 3pm is normal for the area. location looks far on map but is pretty close to town if you use the foot bridge

    - too far away from the city center (30min walk; but bus stop nearby). - only one key for 4 people who don't know each other (either the room door is always open or you always have to run to the reception) - closets not lockable - In summer it was very hot without air conditioning. There was only a fan. - only four sockets in the middle of the room

    - clean - included breakfast with a passable selection - private bathroom for 4 persons - close to the sea - many sitting places outside
