The location is excellent and comfortable, a lot of options around to eat and supermarket's, It is at least a 5-minute walk from the bus stop for the public bus that takes you to and from the airport. It has common areas such as the kitchen, counter and a leisure area.
That was my second time on the same type of accommodation on this hostel and this time the bed curtains was so dirty and looked quite disgusting. As everything was very clean on my first stay, I will give the accommodation a credit, maybe they haven't seen this problem before.

Great service, clean place, Location couldn’t be better, comfortable and pretty
The shower could have something where i could leave my clothes over for when i am done, some sort of shelf or better hooks. Also a bit of water ran out of the shower; but everything else Was just as good as it can get; especially for the price.

This hostel offers great value for money, a fantastic location and a wonderful atmosphere.
However, there is a problem with noise at night, especially from Friday to Sunday, as there is a club right below the hostel. The soundproofing is quite poor and when the club closes, people stay outside making noise. Neither the club owners nor the hostel managers do anything to keep the street quiet. Also, the air conditioning is on one side of the room, so if you're on the other side, it's not very comfortable. Finally, the shower and bathroom in the rooms could be a little cleaner. Although it may seem all negative, it's still worth it for a weekend getaway.

The location was great - right in the middle of it all. The bed cubicle was comfortable and practical - with the blinds on it one could shut out the light. All in all was a good stay. I would advise there to be better communication and instructions for the guests as to the kitchen facilities. I didn't realise there was a fridge until my last day!
The bathroom was good, except one of the shower screen doors could not glide, which caused there to be an opening while having a shower and the floor got a puddle of water on it. I advised the staff about it, they did give extra towels, and also had it fixed two days later. The room I was in was right next to the laundry and the kitchen, which meant there was noise early in the morning, when the cleaning staff got there and talked amongst themselves quite loudly. The TV wasn't receiving a signal, and the staff could not fix it on the spot.

Location - in the very heart of the old city, with the stunning church, Roman forum and sea view. Friendly and helpful staff. Possibility of dropping one's stuff if you arrive before check-in or leave the city a few hours after check-out. Pretty good breakfast with omelet and bacon/frankfurters.
The room is pretty small, and it's a bit challenging to navigate around/between the two beds. I badly hurt my feet twice to the wooden bed edges. The WC and shower are inconveniently separated. The sink is too small. So is the shower cabin, and the curtain isn't practical at all. Fresh vegetables for breakfast would be a nice supplement.

- location, location, location. The hostel is right in the city center (I could see people climbing the Bell Tower from your window - make sure to close the blinds if you don't want them to see inside your room), and in close proximity to the buss station (for the airport shuttle). You also have everything you need in a short walking distance - most attractions and museums, the Riva, supermarkets, restaurants, bookshops, pharmacies etc; - the room was adequate, with working AC, and separate toilet and shower, so 2 people could use the facilities at the same time; - 20-25 min away (walking) from Kolovare Beach (which is one of the more popular beaches in the city); - much quieter than expected (given that it's in the city center and that at least one floor has shared rooms); - there are common rooms where you can hang out, read, charge your phone etc (even after check-out); - good value for the price;
Not aspects that bothered us, but that might be important to others: - the room is rather small, so if you come with a large piece of luggage, be prepared to move it/jump over it; - the check-out was at 10 am - I know this is not uncommon, but one hour extra would have been lovely. They do provide some unlocked lockers where you can store your luggage, free of charge; - no elevators.

The staff is really friendly. Locker is provided for each guest. There is enough privacy for each guest in the room with the curtains. The bathroom is spacious enough and it's clean. The hostel also has a large common area. The location is also excellent. The room also has really nice air conditioning.
The hostel doesn't have enough hairdryers. I had to wait for so long for a hair dryer that I ended up giving up using one. Please consider adding some hairdryers in the common area or bathrooms. The hostel doesn't have a cooker, so I can't cook my own food. The hostel gave me an upper bunk bed, but the ladder is quite hard to climb. I almost fell. If you are a plus-sized person, it's almost impossible to climb up to the upper bunk bed.

A great place to stay in the heart of the old town. It’s located on the main square, in the center of everything you’d like to see in Zadar. The hostel is also 5 min walk away from the shuttle bus to the local airport, which makes its location even better. Perfect for while waiting for your flight next day. We stayed one night in a separate twin room with a toilet and shower inside. The whole place was clean and good looking. The bed sheets were very clean. The city view was astonishing. Friendly stuff and a nice breakfast on top of that. It was cheaper than the rest of the options nearby when booking it a couple of months in advance to our arrival.
It’s a hostel so it’s probably expected the places of common use to be worn out a bit. Having the kitchen in the end of the corridor and terrace in a better, newer shape would be awesome. Yet again it was all good for the hostel in the middle of the old town and the price we paid. Having a small drawer or simply a shelf would be great as there was not much room to put you stuff in. Window blinders right on the window and not in fronting the windowsill would do a better job protecting from the burning sun and leaving the windowsill open for your use. Roller blinds would be perfect. Generally would be great to somehow improve covering the room from the sun and keeping the view outside.

The sterility of it all. Loved it. There are moments where you are feeling alone and want to go to the craziest, most social hostal there is, and there are other times where you just arrived to the country, jet-lagged, waiting for your next proper booking -a cozy apartment in my case- and you just want a place to lay at without being bothered by noisy teenagers. The latter was my case and this is the perfect place for such kind of situations. I liked it so much, that when I had a problem between bookings -there was a night in between different apartments where I couldn't secure a good booking elsewhere- I just chose to go back here for a night and my experience was virtually the same. Just quietness in my little, private, unbothered sleep pod.

I've stayed at a few hostels in my life but this was by far the best. It's in a perfect location right in the heart of the city so it's really easy to get around and also easy to find your way back. I was there during the Euro cup so of course there was a bit of street noise during the games but otherwise quiet. The rooms were clean and I really loved the bed situation because it was like staying in a capsule hotel. Each bed was in it's own little closed in space with a curtain so if you wanted some time to yourself you could just roll your curtain down and turn off your light. It was also nice that each space had private lockers for your belongings so you didn't need to worry about anything being stolen while you were out exploring. I personally didn't hang out much at the hostel so can't rate the common room spaces but the bedrooms were great.
Nothing bad to say
