to get started.

I loved the location next to the church and the Roman forum, and only a few minutes' walk to the Sea Organ , I also loved the layout of the dorm rooms (4-bed); there is a good feeling of cozy privacy. Also this hostal provides large bath towels! The staff members we interacted with were very helpful and kind and all had excellent English skills

Everything. Andreije and Daniella and Mario were all very helpful with excellent English skills. They all went out of their way to make our stay GREAT .

Mary, United States of America

The staff was very nice, the location in amazing, the breakfast is delicious and the room was very clean! There also a space for relaxing and watch a film :)

Debora, Brazil

Perfect location, right at the heart of the old town with walking distance to all attractions. you can see the main church from the window. They put takeaway breakfast (simple bread and jam) in the room in the morning which is a nice surprise.

Viki, Taiwan

1. The bunk beds were very sturdy. They don't shake when the other occupant tosses and turns on when one climbs up/down to/from the bunk. 2. Each bed has blinds that can be pulled down for total privacy. 3. When I woke up in the morning, there was a bag with breakfast at my bedside! What a nice touch! 4. The dining room/kitchen is well furnished. 5. The free breakfast has a varied selection. 6. The location is great -- right in the heart of old town Zadar.

An Inside Look at Boutique Hostel Forum

The hostel’s design is actually a love story - a fusion of traditional and modern with a kiss blown to Zadar. Homage is paid to one of Zadar’s landmarks and hostel’s namesake, the Roman Forum, by including elements of Roman architecture and culture such as the ‘grandstand’ in the common area as well as the Roman numerals used to mark the rooms together with standard numbering. The colours chosen fully reflect Zadar - the ‘Zadar blue’ as the blue sky above and crystal clear sea below paired with the orange colour of the most beautiful sunset in the world.

Area Info – Guests loved walking around the neighborhood!

The streets in Zadar’s old town are paved with marble and lined with the remains of its Roman and Venetian history. Check out the Sea Organ – steps on the waterfront that make "music" when the water passes through pipes underneath.

The staff is really nice. They told me that there are some problems for my room in my booking and free upgrade me on the 3rd floor. The view is awesome! The bed is comfortable. Showers are great. As I am staying in a private room, free breakfast is included and there are variety of the buffet breakfast, which is really nice! Located in the old town and there are many restaurants to choose from. Recommend to stay here if you visit Zadar!

“Great location and kind hearted staff”

Location is great, right at the centre of the old town. Met an excellent kind hearted and helpful night shift staff - We are a group of 8 persons and we checked in on 23 October 2018 and should be leaving for Ljubljana the next day. We bought bus tickets through Getbybus from Zadar to Zagreb and then from Zagreb to Ljubljana months ago. The Getbybus failed us once that they cancelled the Zagreb to Ljubljana tickets weeks ago before departure. On 23 October at around 10:40pm, I received an email from Getbybus again informing me the bus from Zadar to Zagreb would be cancelled again. I was so helpless at that moment that I just didn't know what to do. Finally I went down to the reception desk and found the handsome night shift staff there. I talked to him. He was so kind to offer me a few options and immediately called a taxi company to give me an offer for my consideration. He comforted and assured me that transport could be arranged anyway. Lastly and out of our expectation, he even offered to accompany me to the bus station next morning after 7am while he would be off duty by then to see if tickets could be bought. With his help we were so lucky to buy 8 bus tickets departing at 9 am to Zagreb. After that, our trip went on smoothly. We were so grateful to this gentlemen who is so kind hearted and helpful. I asked his name and am sorry that I was not able to remember it. This incident is the best encounter I have ever come across in my travel history so far.

Nothing specific. If you want to have that beautiful sea view as advertised, make sure that you book early (which I obviously did not)! Also, the place feels more like a hotel than a hostel.
Location! This hostel is located in the most central part of Zadar, everything is within walking distance. Cool staff. I had a room on the top floor, which was full of mirrors. So be prepared to see yourself and your bedpartner everywhere you look :-). Good buffet breakfast too.

Hostel Forum is located in the city center of Zadar, behind the Tower of St. Stošija, perfect place close to Zadar heritage. My room has direct view to the Church of St. Donat. So I had opportunity to get amazing experience immediately when I opened my eyes in the morning. Staff were really nice and helpful. Each guest in the room, behind the bed has one luggage store locked by room key. Hostel also provide additional luggage store for bigger luggage. It was free of charge and was additional plus for sure. I will recommend hostel Forum to everyone I know for sure.
