Promised refund but hasn’t happened
Whilst the hotel was fine, I unfortunately accidentally booked two rooms instead of one. The hotel said it’s fine they will refund one. I contacted Hotels.com who have been unable to contact the property so my refund of over £100 still hasn’t been actioned.

Average - overpriced
This was the most expensive room in my trip and I stayed in old town centers in Zagreb and Athens. Very barebones room. Doesn’t even have a mirror and only one charging port in the room. Unless you get a room facing the sea, the view would be a block of wall of another building. Super claustrophobic. The breakfast staff was kind and nice though.

Wrong decision looking for in App
Attention at the front desk, very kind. Room/Bathroom, too small (no amenities) Cleaning was fine, except the floor... Breakfast ok. Price too high for that kind of room (2-I)

Very centrally located funky hostel - our room had an incredible view over the forum from which we really enjoyed people watching (just to note there were concerts playing each evening so could be noisy from music but it always finished around 11 and the room was well insulated from general street noise). The compact room was cleverly designed and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was simple but good and the location was very central. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect hostel stay in the heart of Zadar old town. The bunk beds felt very private, and there was a shower and a toilet to share between 4 beds in one room. The staff were helpful and the beds were comfortable.

Excellent location!!
Spectacular location!! Great breakfast service. The only issue is the lack of elevator (we were told that due the location within the Old City, the authorities are very strict about installing a lift within the facilities). Maybe the front desk may offer help to take the luggage to the rooms...

Lovely place, great location and wonderful staff.
I just returned from a short stay at hostel forum for a few days. I booked my own room which was lovely with a fantastic view. The location in the middle of the old town is fantastic, im so glad that i ended up picking this hotel over any others. The reception staff were particularly great, really friendly and always helpful whether it be for advice, booking tours or just a chat in the evening, it was really lovely. I would really recommend this place for a couple of days in zadar.

Central Zadar
Air-conditioned comfort in the centre of Zadar. I like going out and coming back to my accommodation 2 or 3 times a day. This was perfect for refilling water bottles, using facilities having a siesta. Self Contained room thoroughly recommend this hostel.

Hostel-Yes Private Room-NO
I have no doubt that it’s exceptional hostel. As a solo traveler in a private room it left a LOT to be desired. Way overpriced. Ridiculously cramped. No flexibility on check-out. In many ways a clever design and well put together, but it didn’t work for me traveling solo and I can’t imagine what it would be like for a couple. For a hostel dorm experience go for it. But, the private rooms I’d think very carefully.
