Hotell Zadar 16 -20 September 2025
Pros:

Rummet ett källarrum med trasiga gardiner. Duschslangen läckte.Dörrvredet till toaletten sönder.Hyfsat rent men missad städning en dag.Frukost ok för oss andra kan tycka annat. Poolen inte ren.Hela hotellet behöver en uppfräschning.Detta rum var inte lämpligt för rörelsehindrade.

Wouldn't stay here again
Pros:

Acceptable check-in, fast and reliable with a good explanation on how to operate the AC and all that.
Rooms are very very old looking and AC is noisy.
Breakfast had a broken coffee machine and very poor selection.
I was here on a business trip and needed a taxi. Asked the reception to call for one and they instead offered that I could pay them 20€ for the taxi upfront. Which is totally unacceptable for both insurance and security reasons. On top of that the taxitrip was 4,5€ on UBER.. so 20€ upfront is an attempt at scamming their customers.

A touch bland, clean and basically fine
Pros:

Slightly bland but very clean hotel on a main road out in the suburbs but easy to reach the old town by uber. What gives it four stars rather than lower is the pleasant and welcome pool (especially after a hot day of sightseeing) and the very helpful staff. It's also quiet - at least our room was, which faced the pool and had a small balcony. Negatives are few - the lack of a lift is an obvious one, but the staff will help lug your bags to your room, and another was the horrible air freshener they use in the rooms which, to us at least, was too full-on and required a couple of hours of ventilation with open windows to get rid of. Breakfasts are so-so at best, with machine coffee and a dull assortment of offerings. There is a very convenient free car park right beside the hotel.
Quick tip - do not use local standard taxis which charge rip-off fees, but use uber instead which is far more reasonable.

Pros:

Nedslidt hotel, mangelfuld rengøring (de sprang over en af dagene), kedelig morgenmad, ligegyldigt personale. Lever absolut ikke op til de påståede 4 stjerner.
Fin beliggenhed og acceptabel pris, men det opvejer ikke de nævnte mangler

Pros:

The room said it was without balcony, which i did not think too much of. This however meant that the room was in a basement and if people walked past they could look in. The cleaning team, left the windows on tilt after cleaning. Which was a bit unpleasant after being gone the entire day. The 24 hour hotelservice meant the staff was sleeping in the reception, if you were there between 23 at night and 7 in the morning. The panel for the aircondition was hidden behind furniture, which was not advised by staff. Breakfast was not impressive. The scrambled eggs looked weirdly grey. Only book this hotel, if your only need is a bed to sleep in. But it is close to the airport, bus station and a nice beach.

À éviter
Pros:

Tout a déjà été dit dans les autres commentaires, hôtel à éviter qui ne vaut pas un 4 étoiles (ni un trois) .

Vi kommer ikke tilbage.
Pros:

Vi havde booket 3 overnatninger, og var gået efter de 4 stjerne, pool og gym. Ingen af delene levede op til vores forventning, som ellers ikke var høj. Poolen var lille og liggestolene var fra er andet århundrede. Deres gym var “out of order” og aircon på værelserne virkede ikke. Personalet snakkede dårligt engelsk, og det var tæt på umuligt at kommunikere med dem.
Morgenmaden vil jeg ikke engang nævne.

Pros:

Was das Frühstück betrifft, sehr schlecht.
Es hat viel gefehlt und meistens war alles leer.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich,

aber das Hotel ist keine 4 Sterne wert.

Never again!
Pros:

Maybe 1 star hotel.
Thanks to the reception manager we survived cause change us the room little bit better.
At the beginning we received a disgusting room (dirty, very old towels, broken lamps, small bed).
Wellness closed, swimming pool dirty and with a lot of dead bees in the water.
Mold smelling in all the room, kettle without cups, tea, sugar, etc.
Selected wine was advertised but refrigerator was completely empty.
Please reconsider the 4 stars published or start to renewal the hotel
Apparently seems a closed hotel.

Pros:

Not really a 4 stars hotel service and cleanings (dirty water boiler, shower box’s door not closing properly , no cutleries/dishes/cups in the kitchenette, nothing inside mini fridge ) but perfect position for both the bus terminal and Kolovare beach. Supermarkets nearby. Spacious room.

Not a 4 star I’ve stayed in better 2 stars
Pros:

This accommodation does not warrant a 4 star hotel !!!!
As present it’s a 2-3 and it’s well over priced
Pool side beds are shocking - no parrasels for shade
Pool is small and ok but doesn’t look fully clean .
I don’t agree with smoking being allowed in the bar area inside in such a small space it’s disgusting and smelly and very unpleasant when you don’t smoke .
A couple of staff members look hostile they really need to smile more .
One smoking like a factory chimney and looks untidy
Faulty towers comes to mind
Breakfast - no wonder nobody bothers showing up it’s RANK !!!
Stone cold
Embryo eggs at 7.15 am. ?
Scrabble eggs look like they are re used days on end .
I only end up having coffee melon and those chocolate craisants
Beds - no sheets on just one covering mattress !!
People screeming and jumping in the pool at 5.30 am ??? And kids in still at 9pm
No standards set !!!
Charging you taxes on your last day for your stay when you already paid in full for your holiday !!!
You should be refunding half my holiday 900 pounds plus for 1 week .
Postive - some staff did smile
And bus station is on the doorstep to escape
If all this feed back is taken on board then people will have a better view .

A health hazard of a hotel
Pros:

The whole building was full of mold. At first we recieved a room that had a moisty wall which they had covered with the bed. We first discovered the mold from the wet bedsheets. They offered a family room that also had some water damage. The room was also filled with ants. They offered us yet another room which seemed fine at first, but the AC did not work. The next morning our whole family woke up with red eyes, swollen faces and difficulty breathing. The breakfast was modest to say the least with the eggs being old and the coffee not being very tasty. We tried to get a refund but they tried offering us two new rooms, which had suffered of water damage as well. We tried to speak to the manager but he would not show up or talk to us in the phone. In the end we ended up leaving after first night without any kind of refund.
Would not recommend to anyone unless you want to get sick.

Pros:

We stayed at this hotel one night before departure from Zadar. Hotel ZADAR is an OK hotel close to city center and other attractions. This hotel is nice and our room was OK but a bit torn. The bathroom was really nice though. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet that was fresh and varied. The AC of this hotel does not have much power so our room was hot after a hot day with lots of sun, a major drawback. Nice and polite staff. The pool area was nice and clean.

Pros:

Bei der Ankunft wurde uns ein Zimmer zugewiesen, welches in keiner Art und Weise dem angebotenen entsprach (Untergeschoss, Licht nur über Lichtschacht und natürlich kein Balkon. Nach Intervention erhielten wir ein Zimmer wie angeboten. Vom Waschbecken rann das Wasser auf den Boden. Es dauerte 4 Tage bis eine einigermassen zufriedenstellende Repartur erfolgte. Das Personal war relativ unfreundlich und wenig interessiert.

Worse hotel I have ever set foot in
Pros:

Terrible hotel. There is a kettle but no cups. A mini bar which is just a fridge. The TV had no signal. The air conditioning did not work because our balcony door would not close. No working bulb. No one came to refill bathroom facilities. Dirty furniture. Shabby view. Ripped off big time! When trying to resolve issues the manager was never available! The staff said he would come in 1 hr but never turned up. Don’t stay here - it will not look like the photos. No idea how it has 4 stars, I usually stay in hostels but decided to treat myself and wish I didn’t, in my experience the many hostels I’ve stayed in have been much cleaner, friendlier and more helpful with better services. Save your money and stay in a hostel!
