My nephew and I stayed in a room with 2 twin beds. The shower was tiny, but the location is central and fantastic. We upgraded to our own rooms the following night, and these were amazing and worth the extra money. They're spacious with wonderful views. The breakfast buffet is great. They don't have laundry there, but we found a place down the street. Rooms were clean and cool. The staff was very kind.

Excellent location right in the old town moments from the sea. Fast WiFi. Good aircon but no ability to open windows for fresh air. The private room was an awkward shape, ok for one person would be hard to fit two people with luggage. Not many plug points. When I checked in didn’t have towels (didn’t receive until next day) and the previous guests contents were in the fridge still so attention to detail was lacking.

Cramped, oddly configured room

Good location, close to many points of interest. But had to walk up three flights of stairs to a cramped, oddly configured room with bed inclined at a fairlsteep 30 degree angle up, especially for a couple like us in our 70s. Really more of a hostel, as the name implies. Would not recommend for anyone over 50.

There is no aircon. They advertise that they do but appears they only allow you to turn it on at certain times of the year. Location is amazing but we probably wouldn't stay again as the room got quite hot and uncomfortable. Opening the windows didn't help all that much. It would be a 5 star place otherwise so worth a stay if you're okay sleeping in a hot room. It should be okay during winter or if they actually allow guests to use the aircon. The false advertising is pretty disappointing though. Otherwise the staff are friendly. They also offer breakfast included but we didn't try it. It's also a good idea to bring earplugs as the rooms are right near a bell tower that chimes throughout the night.

Very clean and well maintained hostel (I would use hotel). We lived in a standard room with twin beds on the second floor (XII) facing another building, and it was very quiet. I was glad that we didn’t have the view, as I preferred the quietness. Comfortable beds, nice dark room (wooden window shades), clean and comfortable.

The hotel is in the middle of the old town, so everything is in the walking distance. We loved it, and would come again.

Breakfast was good, had everything you could need (eggs, bacon, bread, coffee, croissants, cream cheese, some veggies).

For the price you are getting a lot. Truly recommend.

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.

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!

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.

Small but well formed.

The location is obviously excellent. With windows overlooking the forum, though, means regularly keeping the blinds down for privacy.
It is a modern, streamlined place.
Our room was adequate if small, but the shower stall was tiny. We were ok with it, but bigger people might find it difficult to turn around.
There is a shared kitchenette and hangout area.
Overall, it was good value, with a nice breakfast included and close to buses to the bus terminal.

Very tiny rooms, including bathroom, in the middle of the town. Need to take stairs to get to your room. There is no parking close by & need to pay $2/hr continuesly for Parking. Extremely hard to find parking spots as well. Breakfast was barely o.k. Picture of the actual room with ocean view is very misleading. Our room had no ocean view. It's definitely overpriced for what you get. I will not stay in this hotel in future. I had paid $130/night, about 1 month ago & they were running special for the same room &night for $63/night.

Pleasantly surprised!

While I am normally averse to staying in shared hostel rooms, I had a great experience at this particular hostel. The receptionists there provided me with great advice for sightseeing in and out of Zadar, as well as with helpful parking advice to save money. The beds are less like bunks and more like compartments with blinds for privacy and convenient charging ports for phones. Each dorm room of six has a WC and shower - a convenience that ensures you don't have to run down the shared corridor for key facilities. Breakfast is provided in a to-go bag, which is awesome for budget travelers. If you're in need of relatively affordable accommodation in an expensive town, I highly recommend this place!

Center of old town center

A fantastic location to explore the Old Town of Zadar, which is beautiful. All the sights are within metres. Loved the bars & cafes with the pavement seating. The Jadrolinija ferries to the Islands are cheap & an enjoyable day out. Took a trip to the Plitvice National Park, the waterfalls are stunning. Asked at the hostel, but found a much better price at the trips booking area, located at the other side of the ponte foot bridge. It was very well organised & the guide was excellent.
Don't miss the setting sun at the sea organ, spectacular!

Great location and helpful staff and modern

Very modern, well equipped hotel with excellent included breakfast. Very helpful staff. Quiet, good wi-fi. Wonderful location right in centre of old Zadar almost on top of the Roman Forum and 9th C church. Walkable to markets, waterfront, shops, restaurants, historic sights. We had a private room with ramp accessed bed. There are other private room options plus 4-person hostel rooms. We found the ramp aspect awkward but others we talked to liked the approach to bed access. The incredible view from the bed was much appreciated. An elevator would be appreciated.

It was an awesome stay

I only stayed there for 3 nights which was a shame but man it was awesome. You can really see that it is a new hostel. Everything about it is awesome. The mini breakfast to go is free of charge and they will put it next to your bed on the stairs every morning. It consists of a couple of croissants, butter, \"local nutella\", one tiny piece of bread and cream cheese.

Stay somewhere else if you can

Usually, I don't leave comments which is too negative, but this one made me be the first time to do so.

I never stayed with their single room, but the shared dorm experience was not a good one. The sleeping area was so tiny (kind of like capsule hotel) as well as the shower room, none of us in our room would like to stay any longer. Since Zadar old town is small, usually people would stay 1-2 days, if you are budget traveler, yes, the location is the ONLY selling point, otherwise stay somewhere else.

Central hotel close in Zadar old city centre

I had a fabulous stay with BFH. The staff was welcoming and eager to help you out. What stood out to me was even though you checked out, they continued to extend their hospitality -- they offered to hold my bags while I figured out the next part of my itinerary.

Perfect location in the city centre, we booked a private room which was modern and comfortable with great air con and wifi. The only complaint is that the walls are very thin so you can hear a lot of noise from the other guests around you.

Above average hostel.

It was an usual room with hidden treasures behind dark mirrored doors. The bathroom was a little compact and we were on the third floor (which we knew from previous reviews), but the location and the buffet breakfast were excellent. We did have a little trouble with the hostel not recognising payment through hotels.com ( Expedia). They did refund payment when I had wifi and could prove payment had been made.

Incredible Personal Space

Great staff, everything brand new and nice. Each dorm bed had 2 outlets, a USB port, a personal lamp, a mirror, a privacy screen, and a control for the overhead room light. Toilet and showers are seperate in each room, so the most you ever have to share with is 3 others. Everything was immaculate, huge TV\"s and pool table in common rooms. Fantastic place!!! Breakfast was delivered to the room Each of the 4 days I was there. FABULOUS!

Good value

Boutique Hostel Forum is a good option for people on a budget. My single room was very small, but I can't complain because it was also very cheap. The hostel is located directly across from the Forum - cathedral, square, etc. Breakfast is included, and that is a treat!

Great location in Zadar

The hotel has a great location right next to the roman forum and cathedral. Also, the rooms were clean and neatly designed. The staff provides a great little tips guide for guests with their key as well. However, there are no amenities (in room fridge, phone, etc.) and the \"sea view\" required a dangerous neck arch out the window...

The staff were VERY helpful and even packed us a breakfast for our early departure.

Perfect location and awesome interiors. Room is little small but it's very well planned. The guy at the reception was very helpful and co-operative. Despite being located at the \"centre of the centre in Zadar\" the room was quite n peaceful. Lovely experience. Would strongly recommend this place.

Great location, clean and new.

Boutique Hostel Forum is good, and the location is great - right in the middle of town. The front desk was very friendly and welcoming, giving me some tips about the town and making sure everything was ok in my room. I had a single room (not dorm). It was small but inexpensive. The bathroom was very small. But again, it was ok given the price. My only complaint was the WIFI - which was spotty and slow. I had to do some work in the downstairs lobby because of this. Perhaps it was because my room was on the end, I don't know.

Zadar old city Perfection!

Amazingly well maintained and designed, fresh, clean look and feel to the place. We had a sea view self contained room. Very funky modern shower and toilet. Definitely lived up to the name Boutique. Breakfast buffet was included in our price. Well worth it! And the view... Gazing over the promenade to the sea, Roman ruins, the church and bell tower. Friendly, polite staff. Location! It just doesn't get better.

Wow! Amazing Location and Best views!

I was promised best view in town and I got it. You can't get more central than this hostel. Stone throw distance (literally) from St. Donatus church. Room was unique, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great. The only downside is there are no elevators so be prepared to climb the stairs to the third floor for Private rooms, but it's well worth it.
