I stayed in a private double room. Super tiny room and bathroom. I was barely able to open my luggage inside the room. I chose this room type thinking there would be a nice view like advertised, but it didn't come with one. Breakfast was okay. Location was great.

We stayed overnight before catching a plane. The rooms are great with everything you need and a good en-suite shower room and very comfortable bed. Wonderful views too over the Harbour. We were allowed to check in early at no extra cost and they provided packed breakfast as we left very early. 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.

We liked the hostel very much, because the situation was so good. Everything was near by. Breakfast was good. The staff friendly. We could come back to this hostel again, if travel again to Zadar.

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!

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.

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...

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.
