Top Zadar Hotel Reviews

Art Hotel Kalelarga

8/10 Good

"Clean comfy room and bath. Breakfast was great."

Hotel A'mare

8/10 Good

"There is no property parking and u wil l have to find car parking on the streets which will be tough if you have a long journey and need to walk with bags to the property"

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."

Miramare Hotel Zadar

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location just outside the old town with a beach just down the hill. The rooms are very clean with modern bathrooms. In hindsight we should probably have gone for a room with a balcony so if you're considering one I think it will probably be worth it. Breakfast is excellent with a cold buffet and more hot options available to order, plenty of options for vegetarians. The pool area is great and we had no issues finding available sun loungers while we were there. The staff is very friendly and efficient both in the reception and at breakfast."

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"

Hyatt Regency Zadar

10/10 Excellent

"The best stay I’ve had in all of Europe was at Hyatt Regency, Zadar. The hotel is beautiful and I wish I could have stayed longer. They pay attention to all details of your stay beginning with exceptional staff at check in. If you want a luxury experience in Zadar this is the place."

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"

Apartments Villa Karla

10/10 Excellent

"We have a house on an island, so we need to make many trips to the mainland to load up on groceries, etc. This place was the perfect spot for us! Perfect parking, a kitchen with a fridge freezer and laundry. Very clean, modern and comfortable. This will definitely be our spot in the future. Also very close to all grocery stores and the ferry terminal."

Downtown Boutique Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hostel. Beds were well spaced out and had privacy screens. Each bed had a large wardrobe style locker. The bunk beds well in built and had easy access steps as opposed to a ladder. Showers and toilets were clean. I was conscious that there were only 2 female showers on our floor but I never had to wait, and there might have been more down the corridor. Air con was very effective. I was able to leave my luggage and baggage at reception before and after check in and my passport could be stored in a safe at reception. The breakfast at Eden cafe was included and it was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend."
