Staff are helpful. Location of the hostel is excellent. The hostel itself is stylish with good amenities and common areas. Breakfast is great. The only issue is the flushing system which is too weak.

The location was excellent, the room had clean bedsheets and a clean bathroom, the walls / floor had seen better days and I struggled to ser how the actual room matched the website photos. Breakfast was plentiful and good, pleasantly surprised. Staff was very nice.

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!

Would recommend, couldn't imagine a better hostel!
I stayed total of three nights at the Boutique Hostel Forum. The whole experience was super nice. Late check-in was possible, rooms were clean and it was nice to have a toilet and a shower in your own room. Sleeping booths gave privacy, view was beautiful and the big window relevealed the square, church, restaurant and the beautiful street. Location was perfect, middle of everything. Bus/shuttle ride comes near from Zadar airport for 5€.
Would recommend and would definitely stay again if travelling to Zadar!

Excellent location and clean at an affordable price, but too tiny to take a shower and a shortage of shelves in dormitory. No good in wifi connection as well.

Very clean and well maintained hostel (I would use hotel). We lived in a standard room with twin beds on the second floor (XII) facing another building, and it was very quiet. I was glad that we didn’t have the view, as I preferred the quietness. Comfortable beds, nice dark room (wooden window shades), clean and comfortable.
The hotel is in the middle of the old town, so everything is in the walking distance. We loved it, and would come again.
Breakfast was good, had everything you could need (eggs, bacon, bread, coffee, croissants, cream cheese, some veggies).
For the price you are getting a lot. Truly recommend.

Average - overpriced
This was the most expensive room in my trip and I stayed in old town centers in Zagreb and Athens. Very barebones room. Doesn’t even have a mirror and only one charging port in the room.
Unless you get a room facing the sea, the view would be a block of wall of another building. Super claustrophobic.
The breakfast staff was kind and nice though.

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.

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.
