"Great location. I had the one of the two top floor units and it was plenty big and very well done. The bathroom might have been the size of the whole room. Even with its location the resteraunts around arent open super late so noise isnt an issue. Parking was difficult. It is literally find a street parking spot and pay (wasnt too bad on price) but your car is gonna be blocks from the accomodation most likely. Also check in and checkout are at a restaraunt. But property owner never seemed far...

How can I get cheap hotels in Zadar?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Zadar

  1. If you're looking to travel to Zadar on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $52. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $148. Staying a short amount of time in Zadar is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Zadar, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Zadar, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Zadar, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

6/10 Okay
"I stayed in a private double room. Super tiny room and bathroom. I was barely able to open my luggage inside the room. I chose this room type thinking there would be a nice view like advertised, but it didn't come with one. Breakfast was okay. Location was great. "

Hotel Donat All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was 20 minutes from downtown Zadar. 20euro taxi. We did not know it was all inclusive, but we did have a nice dinner. Unfortunately the lobby juice, bee and coffee machines were locked when we tried to go. We walked a lot, around the waterfront and in what is solely a residential area. At the entrance of the property was a bus stop to downtown. The people at the desk were all very nice. Quick easy check in and out. A nice pool."
