Ideally located in Zadar, Downtown Boutique Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. The hostel has family rooms.

The bed is VERY comfortable. The bunk bed is very sturdy -- better than at some other hostels I've stayed in. The mattress and blanket are comfy, as well. I slept very well. Nothing bad to say about this hostel, but at any hostel I recommend ear plugs and an eye mask for better sleep.

I really enjoyed the location. It was a quiet area but not too far from the old town. Hands down the cleanest and most organized hostel I've ever been to. I also liked the design and the home like feeling in the hostel. In addition to that they offered cookies and cereals for no extra charge which I found very nice. Last but not least, the staff were exceptional, and I really enjoyed sitting down and having a chat with Josipa and Petra

Just a 5-minute walk across the park from the Old Town, The Hostel features bright and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and LCD satellite TVs. Free coffee is provided at The Hostel which has a shared kitchen area.

The location is really nice, if you're okay with walking to the old city along the water. There is a bus stop, different little shops and restaurants close by. The room was cute and not too small, the bathroom was a little smaller but still fine.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This really was about the best hostel I have ever been in. Bed was comfortable and private because of the curtains. Also the hostel is situated right in the center of Zadar's old city but still was calm and quiet in the night.

    All hostels should be like Sky Hostel! All the rooms were clean and very well maintained, and the design of the dorms was so well fitted to the guests: it has comfortable and stable bunk beds, free lockers and even a little fitting booth so you can dress with some privacy. Two bathrooms to share, free towels to use and even free laundry service. And Rozana was incredibly friendly and helpful with a map and tips for Zadar. This has definitely been the best hostel I have stayed at so far!

    So far the best hostel I've been to in Croatia. Very clean and tidy - which to me, is very important. I appreciated how the location was in a quiet, safe neighborhood, at walking distance from the noisy old town - I was able to get lots of sleep and wake up to a nice coffee. The staff was very helpful and kind, they even let me check in a bit earlier.

    It was one of the best hostel i have stayed till now. Super clean, well secure rooms and luggage storage. So comfy beds and with curtains it makes it more private, doesn't feel like you are in a hostel. And Friendly staff makes it much more better. And of course great location, middle of the old town, everything is on walking distance. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.
