Location is great, right at the center. Bed are very comfortable and give you a good privacy

Aniatoma, Switzerland

The staff is incredibly kind and attentive. The room was amazing and the view stunning. I came for a solo trip to my celebrate my birthday and very much enjoyed every moment!

Carol, Germany

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

Mary, United States of America

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.

Pacific0, United States of America

Great location in heart of old city, but noisy with windows open. Simple, small, modern rooms with everything essential. Reserved parking available a short walk away.

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.

a sound barrier to isolate the kitchen area from rooms would be nice.
location couldn't be much better. my view on the upper bed was: part of roman forum and the church, plus the sea and the islands. breakfast was very nice, mini-croissant with a bread, butter and marmelade. very good privacy in beds with fold-down curtains. shower and toilet in rooms, which are cleaned daily. staff helped me every bit of my questions, boarding pass print-outs, change money etc. best hostel I've ever been.

The kitchen could be a bit better equipped, I would consider buying at least a toaster and offer cheap instant coffee for guests.
The bunk beds have a very good privacy, great location and very modern and clean premises!

“The room was a good use of a small space.”

- • Single Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

The rooms were small. However the layout of the beds and the privacy screens compensated for the smallness of the room. The bathroom was near the rooms entrance and the shower was on the opposite side of the room.
The staff were very helpful. The building had a funky colour scheme inside. The brightly coloured alternating steps on the stairwell is good for older persons with depth perception issues. A mini breakfast bag was left each morning on my bed which was a nice touch. There was a coffee machine on my floor. I liked the blinds on each bed which offered a level of privacy. The room design with large windows , use of a mirror in each bed and the points made below about potential deficits being overcome by design.

“Excellent hostel. Highly recommended”

- • Single Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

1. Rooms are kinda small but for the price you are paying in this location, it is acceptable. 2. Some reviews mentioned there is no room for big trolley bags. I think this hotel was meant for backpackers so don’t book dorm rooms if you brought your whole house with you😜 3. The room at the end of the hallway (4 person dorm room) is right opposite the kitchen and it’s so noisy at night. Avoid this one.
1. LOCATION - Just beside the Church of St Donatus and fronting the harbour. You literally can see the Old forum, the church, the beach and the square from your window yet it so quiet inside the room. There is a resto and coffee shop in the same building and a big supermarket just a few meters away. It is in the main street of the old town so a lot of shops and restaurants around. The Greetings to the Sun and the Sea Organ is only a few meters away. Excellent location!!! *It is a long 10-15 min walk from the bus station so take a taxi going to old town. 2. FACILITIES The most modern among the hostels I have stayed in - the room key which doubles as the locker key is cool. Bathroom and shower is relatively small but functional. Bed is comfortable and clean. There is a big locker underneath the bed to put your stuff safely. They have a big common room with a pool table and a nicely designed lounging area for watching movies and reading books. Kitchen is also clean and really nicely done with access to an open garden 3. STAFF Very friendly and accommodating. They print tickets for free and they allow free use of the desktop in the kitchen area. Cleaning ladies comes to the room to fix when everyone is out.
