I went off season and for this reason my experience might have not been as good as if I had gone in the main season Firstly if you are on a tight budget and have a big family this is a great place to go as the food is good, very cheap and the selection is good. Drinks are included with the food local wine , beer soft drinks all include in the price If you want more high end restaurant quality food this is not the place for you as all the food is buffet style The place was very clean and tidy and had a great atmosphere and the sun set was out of this world. The only bit I did not like was that I had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the reception which in full motorbike year was a very hot and sweaty experience. I think in the main season reception is by the entrance gate which would solve this problem apart from that it was a good place to stay

Lovely clean hotel. Within walking distance of old town. Area around looks a bit dodgy but it is ok. Great staff. Lovely outside terrace with a great choice of drinks and food. Prepared a breakfast box as we were leaving early. Drinks and snacks in lobby to take away were a bit pricey. Would recommend as a value for money stay in Zadar.
