The location of old Town Hostel was the best, in the heart of old town very easy to be found! Nice atmosphere and staff very discret and helpful. Computers and internet access was available. In my opinion it should have more showers and toilets, but even though for one night it was okay!

The hostel itself was fine. The reason I have rated cleanliness as "very poor" is that two of us were attacked by bed bugs and we actually saw the bugs moving around in the room! We didn't realise what they were until we had left and the rashes/bites swelled up. We now all have to fumigate our bags and wash our clothes and pray the bugs have not come back with us as they are able to travel back on/in suitcases very easily.

Incredibly helpful staff-- let me print my boarding pass off their only printer. Good facilities, the showers were hot and clean. Wonderful location in the gorgeous old town in Zadar. Close to nightlife, restaurants and beach. Ask them about a day trip to the unbelievable plitvicka jezera national park and they'll call and arrange everything. Stay here.

Location was the best part of this hostel: Old Town. The washer was in the bathroom and was told only one washer on all the floors worked. But when I used it, turns out it did not work either and it ruined a lot of my clothes. The keys did not work very well. They were those old skeleton keys and they got stuck a lot. I did not like all the clean sheets in a bag in the hallways the whole time I was there. Wi-fi was down for one whole day. For the location, it may be worth it.

Location of this Hostel is great! Right in the centre of the old town of Zadar. So they choose their name wisely ;) What else to say about this hostel: it's located on the third or fourth floor, so you need to do a little climbing first. The Hostel itself looks very good, with high ceilings, a warm interior and an excellent central place for checking in, meeting people or cook your own stuff. The rooms and beds were fine either. If i go back to Zadar, I would definitely stay there again!

kitchen table is very small and a microwave or oven would be handy.

This hostel was in a fab location for the old town of Zadar, the rooms were basic but good and the shower/toilets facilities were clean and we didn't do any waiting around for a shower which was nice. The lady when we first arrived was very nice however the day we were moving on we wanted to leave our bags for a few hours and they were not accomodating to this at all, we had to go to the bus station to leave them and return to get them later when we moved onto Dubrovnik which was inconvenient.

Great place, lovely atmosphere, perfect location! Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was actually enough cutlery/plates/fridge space to live properly. Really nice.

We are very sorry for the problem, we didn't know about the bugs and we have no control over what our guests bring into the hostel. The problem has been solved and the room is bug free now. Thank you.

All in all it's a good hostel, but it's a bit difficult to use the washing machine. It's free, but you have to do it by yourself (first you have to buy the washing powder), and there is no dryer. In other hostels the staff takes a few euros for washing and drying your clothes - that's the better solution.
