Popular points of interest nearby include Museum of Illusions Zadar, The Museum of Ancient Glass and Old Port of Foša. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and an ATM for guests.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in lately. From the outside, I was a bit worried! But the inside is outstanding, really. It seems very new and very well taken care of. The dorm room was very clean, well-maintained, and spacious. Each bed has a curtain, light, cubby, and charging port. There are also sizeable lockers, large enough for a backpack and more. The common room is very comfortable. Wifi was good too. It's a short 15-minute walk to Old Town, mostly along the harbour. The bus station is also only a 10-minute away. Perfect location.

Me and my friends stayed there (3 girls) and felt really safe, we had lockers with keys. Hosts were really nice people, flexible with our requests, even offered us coffee on the first day. The kitchen was fully equipped, we were able to cook and store our food on the fridges. 100% recommended if you are looking to meet new people.

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.

    Great location (10 minutes walk from old town and plenty of supermarkets close by) facilities were above average for a hostel (each guest gets one wardrobe space with a lock). The price point was brilliant and the staff were very friendly and gave some good recommendations on arrival

    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.
