    The hostel is very nice and comfortable, about 10min walking distance from the main bus station. There is a grocery store nearby. It is located in a nice neighborhood and you can get to a very nice area with beautiful viewpoints to the ocean from there. Walking distance to the city center is about 30min and there is a bus stop in front of the hostel. The kitchen is very big and has everything you might need, the common areas are also big and you also have tables and chairs outside as well as hammocks, there are also games, books, etc, to entertain yourself. There is a (simple) bar as well in the hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are very attentive and understanding. The day I had to check-out they let me stay in the common areas until the evening because my flight was due in the evening.

    Close enough to town, if you don’t mind walking (us doing 10-20km a day) we stayed in apartment 1, it was very clean, the terrace was great, very friendly, the bed is comfortable. The bbq (which we didn’t do, did smell amazing!) and very quiet en really dark at night. absolutely great choice!

    The vibe of the place was really nice everyone was so welcoming and helpful to one another. Not once did we feel like an outsider. It’s a short walk to the nearest cliff jumps which was our favourite little spot for a swim and the walk into the old town was fairly easy and went quick. Such beautiful people working here !!

    Kitchen a little bit dirty i know that's guests fault but staff may be a bit more watchful / strict on that.

    Anything in Zadar in walk range. Not a party hostel, although bar available. After 22:00 staff strongly insist on staying very quiet both inside and outside. Nice patio and fully equipped kitchen, grocery store 3 min walk away. Individual apartments available.

    water pressure should be better in showers. staff needs to apply basic common sense sometimes. if your stuff is in the fridge stacked up and your name is on the top of the stack - that means everything in the stack and set aside together belongs to that person. apply common sense. that said, people are solid. they are helpful in general and pleasant enough. get that AC going come tge warmer weather. people pay to be provided basic comforts. power outlets need to in rooms and all working for everyone. in this day sbd age this is basic expectations. privacy curtains are an easy add also.

    very workable kitchen for multiple users at once. pool table and recreational lounging areas are plentiful with no overhead coverage. I liked the location personally. a nice walk into the festive old town is a mere 25 minute predominantly shoreline walk. and the shore itself is near. as is McDonald’s and the bus terminal. grocery is basically half a block across the street. it’s good for many reasons. and the dinner opt in purchases seemed to make people quite happy.

    this hostel is perfect! it’s only about a 10 minute walk from the beaches in a quieter residential neighborhood, so I’d highly recommend it if the beach is your main priority. the dorms are spacious and comfortable, and the whole place is clean. they have a nice big kitchen and a really lovely outside area. friendly staff. free coffee and tea in the morning. no complaints :)

    nothing really.. you just need to know that its not directly in the old town, which was fine for me.

    I really liked this hostel. It was sociable and very close to the beaches and supermarket. The room had everything you need (lockers, AC, comfortable bed) and the kitchen did as well.

    The only negative was the distance from town, however it’s close to supermarkets, the bus station and the beach so really it’s only a very minor issue and Uber is really cheap and quick too.

    The hostel has a good vibe, the staff and guests were really friendly.

    Nothing - I wish that I could stayed there longer

    It was so easy to connect to other travellers. You don‘t get it that often. I stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one sticks out! It‘s a 10 min walk to the old town, but this is still chilled. The hostel creates a great atmosphere, especially for solo travellers. I recommend it to everyone, see you again! Probably the best hostel I stayed in ever.

    The hostel is located very close to the Main Bus Station (about 10 min walk) where the bus from the airport stops. Also, if you plan to travel further it is a great place to stay. Close to the hostel are restaurants and a grocery shop. Distance to the City Center is convenient (about 20-25 min walk). When it comes to the cleanliness and tidiness it is very high. The kitchen area is spacious and well-planned. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
