Comfortable and Cozy

“I had a great stay in anice and neat room at Boutique Hostel Forum. The room wasn't the largest I've stayed in, but it was equipped with a bathroom, a TV, a fridge, a safe, and even a kettle for that all-important cuppa! The bright walls filled with windows provided a lovely view, adding to the overall coziness of the space.” view full review

Private and Practical

“The shared bathroom in the dormitory was very practical, with a layout that allowed for both the shower and toilet to be separate. It made getting ready in the morning easy, especially since it was shared by only four guests. The cleanliness of the bathroom facilities really stood out during my stay!” view full review

Perfectly Soundproof

“I was kinda surprised by how soundproof my room was at Boutique Hostel Forum. Despite being in the heart of the Old Town, I didn't hear any noise from the outside, including the nearby bell tower. It created a quiet setting to relax after a long day of exploring.” view full review

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this boutique hotel! The location couldn't be more perfect, just steps from the Roman Forum and all the charming sights of historic Zadar. The room was clean and cozy, offering a stunning view that makes the mornings feel special. I appreciated the warm hospitality from the staff, who were always ready to assist. While the breakfast was plentiful, it would have been nice to see more variety. Overall, it's great value for money with modern amenities, though a few minor improvements in breakfast options would have made it even better.

My stay at the hostel in Zadar had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of the city, and I appreciated the cleanliness and services offered. However, the noise from the nearby nightclub was a bit of a downside, and the room was quite small for the price. Overall, it was a decent experience with good amenities.

I had an overall decent experience at this hostel. The semi-private beds are a plus for those wanting some personal space. However, noise can be an issue, and the breakfast provided for hostel guests was quite disappointing. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore. I do wish there were more options for breakfast as it really could enhance the stay.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was quite underwhelming, considering the price I paid. The location is incredibly central, which is a plus, but I struggled with noise from the nearby church and bars that made sleep elusive. The breakfast options were minimal, and while the staff was helpful, the overall experience didn't feel worth it for what I spent.

Rooms

Location

The hotel is located right in the center of the old town, next to a historical church, making it a prime spot for exploring. However, this also means constant noise from the surrounding area.

Dining

Breakfast was largely disappointing, with very few options and poor quality food. The coffee was especially bad, which was not what I expected.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were lacking, particularly in the kitchen, which only had a microwave and a small, full fridge, not ideal for any serious cooking.
