Hotels near Zadar Airport

Pros: This hotel and its staff was incredible. We are from the U.S., and am used to staying at Hilton, JW Marriott and Kimpton hotels, and of all the places we stayed in Croatia, this was my favorite. You are right in the heart of it all, and no other hotel can offer this. If you open your windows at night, you'll hear the live music that plays most nights. There are only maybe 12 rooms, so book out far in advance. They also had the best breakfast...we always buy the breakfast option in our rates for all the hotels on our trip. Staff was exuberant and helpful, and made us feel welcome every time we left and came into the lobby.

Cons: It's in the center of the city, so you have to park a few blocks away, then drag your luggage through the streets to the hotel. No cars allowed on the city streets.

Pros: Good food, great service, nice bed and great bathroom.

Cons: Challenging parking situation, but not unusual for an old town hotel.

Pros: The overall quality of the hotel.

Pros: comfortable, luxurious hotel, very clean, good location

Cons: small bathroom

Pros: Ease of access to town center and it's attractions. Friendly staff. Late breakfast until 11.

Pros: As the only reasonable hotel in the old city area, the Bastion turned out to be an excellent choice for location, good breakfast buffet but didn't use the restaurant

Cons: requested a non-smoking room but there was an ashtray in the room although there was no obvious smell of tobacco

Pros: Excellent location in the old city. Very good bed and breakfast.

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: The staff was verry nice.

Cons: The entire vila has no centralized heated system. We have only air condition in the room and in the night it was very cold and they make a lot of noise. This is not a vila for accomodation in october.

Pros: Staff were helpfull

Cons: Sme days room was not cleaned

Pros: The breakfast was good. We got our choice (as we arrived early) for a bigger room with 2 bedrooms. There was air conditioning/heating, which was great.

Cons: The sheeting on the beds was for single beds, so there was always a division in the sheets in the middle of the bed. The housekeeping never actually made our beds. If we did not make it ourselves, they would remove the sheets and fold up a new set, leaving us to make up the beds again the next night. The directions for getting to Villa Valentina were terrible. When we arrived in Zadar, we found none of the landmarks we had been given. We then called her for directions/help. She told us to ask a local how to get to a certain restaurant from where we were at. When we did that (we had to stop and ask a few times), we found the restaurant 20 minutes drive away from where we started and just around the block from Villa Valentina. Not helpful.

Pros: It is a beautiful house with large rooms including also kitchen. There are common big balcony outside rooms to seat and to see panorama. Good breakfast.

Cons: It is very hard to arrive in Villa Valentina: we have had to phone and then ask to a policeman to arrive there. After I have found that they have send me more information to find hotel.

Pros: The staff friendliness and the villa itself is very nice. It is a bit far from the city centre however it wasnt a problem for us since we had a rental car. The staff showed us some nice places on the map that were worth a visit. Before actually arrivng at the hotel, Villa Valentina sent us several emails and sms' to confirm our booking and asking us whether we required transfer services- which is very positive and helpful.

Pros: Own balcony plus two other communal balconies, all with sea views. Very clean room, good mattresses, free kitchenette. Good breakfast - cheese, ham, egg, jam, nice bread. Helpful owners - they accept euros or kuna or both. Quiet location, only 5 mins to good restaurant, 10 to beach. Easy buses to town. Only used taxi once (from airport 200 kuna).

Cons: $review.cons

Cons: The house is not very close to the old city. You have to walk for about 10 mins to get a bus. The bus ride is about 10-15 mins but it passes close to the old city.

Pros: room is clean; staff is nice

Cons: internet is slow but ridiculously expensive, at 100 kuna. i complained to staff and they said "yeah, i know". so i'm probably not the first one to complain but the hotel hasn't done anything about it. totally wasted my time. there should be instructions attached to the safe.

Pros: Lovely setting, excellent quality of rooms, food ,service and kindness of staff and the gardens were wonderful. It was a wonderful experience ,highly recommended we will be back.

Pros: Very polite staff.

Cons: Small room

Pros: I love the owner! I asked for fruit with my breakfast (in November) and he delivered apples, figs, and clementines from his own trees. Comfortable room. Only 20 minutes walk from the center of the city!

Cons: The room was a bit small, but I didn't spend much time there.

Pros: A truly gentleman as owner, it is nice choice for given price (we paid € 60 /night). Family milieu in a nice residential area. However, remember you have to pay cash, they don’t take cards.

Pros: The host was extremely helpful and friendly.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and very welcoming. The breakfast was also very nice.

Cons: The walls are a bit thin or perhaps we just had really loud neighbors. But in general it is in a quiet location.

Pros: Very helpful staff. They dont speak much english, but make up for that with the excellent service.Breakfast options are good and is actually served at the restaurant below.

Cons: Not at the centre of the city, and is about a mile away. However this is not a problem, as there are taxi's that could take you there for cheap.

Cons: Food good, menu limited, though spit roasts a speciality.

Pros: very nice welcoming, nice breakfast

Pros: Very good value for money relationship. Ideal for one night.

Pros: Good quality hotel with an excellent restaurant.

Pros: i read lots about location being not so good but it was actually ok given that it is easy to find from bus station 20 min walk straight on and a 35 min walk to centre but bus stop is next to hotel.

Cons: maybe the fact that it was no mini bar in room and i prefer to have breakfast buffet but that is nothing major

Pros: although it was not within walking distance from town,it was quite pleasant to stay..room was good size and good bathroom with excellent shower....they gave an option for cooked breakfast as well,included in price...

Cons: i prefer something closer,but was 10 mins by car and free parking was available if you knew where to look....had satelite t.v but no one knew how to work it...

Pros: Well located on the main road, rooms are comfortable and clean, good spot to discover the city or to catch the ferry boats

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: Personnel were very friendly but not informed to guide tourists as they are the waiters of the restaurant.

Cons: There is not lift to second floor where the rooms are located.

Pros: Staff were very nice. Room was clean and had aircon. Nice breakfast apart from omelette.

Cons: The room smelled of cigarette smoke. At breakfast, the omelette was terrible. There was no help/info about how to get from the airport to the hotel. It was quite a distance to the city centre from the hotel and again no information was available about buses - not really a handy hotel for anyone wanting to see Zadar.

Pros: Nice staff, room size, good bed, good breakfast

Cons: Average location

Pros: Restaurant was always busy and was very professionally organised. Good menu and excellent meals with a nice outlook over the bay.

Cons: Restaurant staff were fine in the restaurant but weak on front desk duties that they shared from time to time.

Pros: Close to freeway was the only good thing about this hotel.

Cons: Breakfast was weenies. We woke up to no water at all and could not shower, use the sink or the toilet. The ratings on the internet are overrated. We couldn't wait to leave and should have continued in our trip to stay in Zagreb where there are More hotels and places to eat, The date on the water bottle in the hotel room was expired. The sink stopper was stuck down and we had to put our hands in dirty water to pry out the stopped with the hotel key. When we checked in there was one employee running everything, check in, bar, restaurant. The TV was about 20 yrs old.

Pros: The only benefit to the hotel is its location. It is exactly half way between the old town and the bus/ train station. This is what we needed as we only had a half day to explore the town.

Cons: The hotel is old and in need of a refresh. It is pretty dated in its deco and defnitely give the restaurant a pass if you can.

Pros: We enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the cleanliness of the room and hotel.

Pros: Hotel Kolovare is a nice hotel in an excellent location. We attended a Croatian-hosted NATO conference in the hotel and their facilities were excellent. The staff is very nice and very professional. A very nice stay and would certainly recommend it.

Pros: The Hotel staff was very friendly and professional. The meeting rooms, restaurant and lobby were very nice. The hotel is near the water and has some great views.

Cons: The beds were fair. Probably average for European standards. The air conditioning didn't work too well. Fortunately the temperatures were moderate during my stay.

Pros: Very nice and clean hotel. We actually got upgraded to a suite, so really nothing to complain. The breakfast buffet was well above par.

Pros: All was ok!

Cons: No complaints, or if I think better, maybe the children electronic toys are a little too noisy after 11 p.m.

Pros: The food was very good as I went all inclusive.

Cons: The room was very cold....and the bed was not exactly a king or queen....but it was clean and tidy

Pros: We were a bit concerned initially from reviews on a number of websites we had looked at as they tended to be very polar, but it was definitely excellent value for the money we paid, as the saying goes "You get what you pay for" so dont expect the Ritz. Basic hotel, clean, all the staff were very friendlyand helpful. Location is 10-15mins outside Zadar (by bus) 35-40min pleasant coastal walk into old town, especially if you like all things nautical. Amenities in the general area very scarce out of season although it did look like there would be a lot of water based activities during Summer.

Cons: Whilst the Lunch and Dinner had a huge variety we found the breakfast to be very repetitive, the old logo "go to work on an egg" is alive and kicking in croatia. Boiled eggs, Scrambled egg and Scrambled egg with ham - every morning. Along with the normal cereals, bread etc.

Pros: Budget stay, very clean, close to town, reception open 24 hours, internet booking and close to airport.

Cons: Beer in the hotel is very bad quality.

Pros: The hotel was very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: Able to drive to the Old Town in Zadar

Cons: Breakfast was minimalistic - probably the least satisfying of our trip to Croatia. They were unable/unwilling to process a credit card payment.

Pros: Our room was comfortable and clean. We stayed one night. Good enough for one night. Breakfast was just okay.

Cons: The bathroom blow dryer hose was shredded to pieces & useless. We stayed one night. The staff were kinda friendly but were hard to locate when needing to leave. They were (about 4) busy in the kitchen, pushing and yelling at one another. We went to pay with credit card and staff lady said it was not working so we had to pay cash. She refused to sign a receipt so got owner who was also the chef. He had to hunt for a hotel stamp. We were not satisfied with this and hope we are not billed twice.

Pros: Location was good

Cons: Very basic room, needs updating. Later we stayed in hotels of a much better standard for the same price. We were informed that the credit card machine was out of order when we checked out, leaving us short of local currency for the remainder of our holiday.

Pros: Only worth it if there is nothing else. It's far from the center (which we already knew) and very overpriced for what they offer. It feels like the staff want to rip you off (they charge me 3 euro for ironing a t-shirt). Breakfast is very poor but that seems to be the norm in Croatia. There was mould in the shower.

Pros: If we saw all the negative reiews before, we were a little bit affraid but very y friendly staff, clean rooms, compared price/quality it was even very good, we had a tripple room with 2 bedrooms so space enought, everything was working properly, tv, wifi. We definitly going back there

Cons: Breakfast was very basic, but if you asked for something they brought it, we really cannot complain!

Pros: The room was nice.

Cons: The listing said Wi-Fi was available for free. I tried to connect to the Wi-Fi via my netbook and it kept asking for a password, but the staff insisted there was NOT a password. The English skills were some of the poorest I came across during my stay in Croatia.

Pros: $review.pros

Cons: No Internet Service in rooms as advertised

Cons: The location is far off... The beds are not comfortable.. And the linens are very stiff... The breakfast is very sparse, could offer more, and serve it in warm chafing dishes.. Coffee awful!

Cons: the management and the owner

Pros: staff very kind and hospitable breakfast quite generous room silent and comfortable
