Great service and very kind staff! Vesna was very pleasant and professional, room was clean and we’re overall satisfied with everything. The location is very good too. Fair price for the entire service.

Stayed for a short time in this hostel while visiting Zadar. Location was good and staff were friendly. However, the dorm was not overly clean and bathroom facilities were lacking- to the extent that most people had to shower/use the one toilet on the reception floor. I did not feel secure staying here as the front door is wide open to the streets and dorms are constantly left open by fellow travellers. If you want a cheap and central place to stay but don't mind staying in substandard conditions then this is the one, otherwise stay somewhere else and safe yourself distress of staying here.

I've seen quite a few negative reviews on here but I couldn't rate this hostel enough. It is located right in the centre of old town which was perfect for us, there is a square just opposite that has live music at night which you can obviously hear but this didn't bother us at all, and it's what you expect being in the centre! The girls working here are fab, there are only two of them and they were really friendly and helpful wherever possible. I chopped and changed my mind on dates I don't even know how many times when I was booking and they were so nice about it! We stayed in the 10 person room and the bunk beds were actually pretty comfortable and the bedding was clean. There are cupboards to store your bits just bring a padlock if you want them locked. There was no kitchen when I stayed and the common room was a bit messy but I wouldn't call this place a dump as I saw in one review! They are closing in September for a refurbishment and a kitchen is going to installed. PLUS this place is really cheap, so if you're looking for somewhere central and don't mind some nighttime background noise then this is a great place to stay. Thanks for a great week girls I would definitely stay again! …

This hostel was clean and in a great location. Unfortunately due to its location it is quite noisy at night as well as being fairly warm. However, for a budget stay for a night or two to explore Zadar I would certainly recommend it!

Only stayed here a night, glad it wasn't any longer! Unwelcoming, disorganised staff - who didn't seem interested in the guests. Dirty and substandard cleanliness. Not shown around - no obvious communal area. Pictures VERY misleading. Kitchen unfinished with open electrics and no running water (except for in the bathroom). Embarrassing place, not worth any of the money! One fan per 10 bed dorm! Location good - if you're willing to put up with rubbish accommodation and no advice given. Questionable security of front door.

We had plans to check out and catch a bus, however the desk was not staffed at checkout time. So we had to wait for the late staff member who then asked 'how much was your stay' and added an additional per person per day tax which we had not previously been aware of, we feel they took advantage of our rushed and flustered need to get out to make the bus time, we didn't have time to debate or haggle the new price. On top of this the rooms and bathroom were dirty, one of the showers had no light and the other was full of someone's luggage?? (We suspected the worst when we saw a wallet and passport apparently abandoned in this dirty hostel) the shared room was unusable as it was full of storage and various appliances which had been pulled off the walls, including stoves and heaters

This was a very rundown hostel with invisible staff and very shabby rooms. The only good thing was the location but for a greater value and better location and better cleaner room and proffesional and visibel staff book your room at boutique hostel. Compared to that hostel - this is an overpriced dump 👎🏻

We came in this hostel 2 years ago, we paid the same price than today but there's no more kitchen, no more washing machine or even lockers in the room or a cupboard,a shelf or nighstand. Only thing in the room was a bed 'n a chair, nothing to hang or put our clothes. Several lights were not working. The room floor was dirty with dust 'n dry mud. Construction workers who were working in the hostel woke us up early with hammer noise. To finish the receptionist was cold. Only + : shower was clean

Staff are amazing, can pay to have breakfast or dinner (depends on who makes it but if Rose - amazing!). Rooms are nice and clean, location is perfect, wifi works adequately. Not too expensive given when we visited (high summer). All in all, perfect place to stay! Great atmosphere and met many other travellers.
