"Air conditioning wasn’t very effective. Room never got below 24 Celsius. It’s simple, has some basic pots, pans, etc., but we didn’t use the cooking top. Nice little patio area. Location is solid - it was quiet, very close to the bus station, grocery store (with self-service laundromat inside), only about 5-10 minute walk to the nearest beach and maybe 20 to Old Town. Not a ton of restaurant options in the immediate area, other than a McDonald’s."

Recent Reviews in Zadar

Hyatt Regency Zadar

10/10 Excellent

"A relatively new and well-maintained hotel in Zadar, with the Old Town just a short boat-taxi ride away. The facilities were all in excellent condition, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, and the terrace at the front of the hotel was a lovely spot to relax with a drink while enjoying the sea views."

Miramare Hotel Zadar

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect, the hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and providing great service throughout our stay. The breakfast was also fantastic, with a great selection and quality."

Hotel A'mare

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was wonderful! But I need to start with the neighborhood because that’s how our stay started. The immediate neighborhood looked sketchy, especially because we pulled up on the side but we learned from the locals that it is very safe and we became very comfortable the longer we stayed. The hotel was amazing. Breakfast was huge and they immediately offered to reserve a large table setting for our large group. We also ate at the hotel for dinner and an appetizer lunch and were very pleased. The staff was quick to help us. The place was super clean and comfortable and the suites are designed for both comfort and practicality. It’s a mile walk to restaurants and the old town. We varied in age from 13-75 so a few less mobile individuals used uber or Bolt which was easy. Old town was lovely. I would have stayed longer for a hotel massage!"

Art Hotel Kalelarga

10/10 Excellent

"Very central location and entirely relaxing stay (very much needed given August heat and heavy Zadar tourist traffic). Room was very spacious, calming, bed very comfortable, bathroom generously sized and everything worked. Staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast was very generous. A bit or a luxury/pricey, but would seek to stay again."

Apartments Villa Karla

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for a short time arrived after 6pm and left befor 10am. Stayed twice once in an appartment on the first floor and once in the semi basement. Both were excellent and the checkin was remote and easy. Both apartments were modern/clean and had everything you would expect plus a few nice extras. Would stay again! 😊"

Heritage hotel Bastion

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 2 nights at this excellent small hotel. The staff were very welcoming and exceptionally helpful. The dining was great, both at the included breakfast and also in the hotel's Kastel restaurant. Our room on the 3rd floor was large, comfortable and well air-conditioned. The main attractions of the Old Town of Zadar (Sea Organ, Roman Forum, St. Anastasia Cathedral, a range of good restaurants, etc.) are all within an easy walk. I see someone else posted complaint about noise from a bar across the street. Yes, you could hear it if your room faced the street and harbour as ours did; but it stopped both nights by 11pm, so was not really a problem for sleeping."

Hotel Kolovare

10/10 Excellent

"Basically right on the beach. Safe room was nice with balcony,super clean, modern. Front desk super friendly and helpful. Close too old town Zadar,about 10 minutes walk"

Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent and very clean. All staff were very friendly and helpful especially Nikolina at reception and Jakob in the lounge bar. We enjoyed lovely meals at Planika and Bracera and a particular mention to Alexandria who provided excellent customer service throughout our entire meal. The hotel’s own restaurant where breakfast and dinner is served is also excellent with very tasty dishes and again great customer service. Thank you, we will return"
