Top Zadar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Donat All Inclusive

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."

Which area of Zadar is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Zadar, the historical Old Town and the areas just outside the city walls, like Diklo and Borik, offer excellent value and accessibility. These locations provide a good mix of affordable accommodation options and convenient access to Zadar's main attractions.

The Old Town, while usually pricier, still has some hidden gems like guesthouses and smaller apartments that can be surprisingly affordable, especially outside of peak season. Staying here means you're right in the heart of the action, with the Sea Organ, Greeting to the Sun, and numerous historic sites just a stroll away, eliminating the need for transport fares.

When is the most affordable time to visit Zadar?
The most affordable time to visit Zadar is generally during the shoulder seasons—late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October). During these periods, the weather remains pleasant for exploring, but you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and the higher prices that come with them.

For solo travellers, visiting during these times means you can often find better deals on accommodation, from hostels in the Old Town to guesthouses a little further out in areas like Arbanasi. Transportation, including flights and local buses, also tends to be cheaper outside of July and August. You'll still be able to enjoy the city's main attractions, like the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun, without the bustling crowds, making for a more relaxed experience.

Couples might find the quieter atmosphere of the shoulder seasons particularly appealing for romantic strolls through the historic centre or enjoying a meal at a waterfront restaurant without the summer rush.

Is Zadar a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Zadar is a budget-friendly destination, offering excellent value for money, especially compared to more heavily touristed Croatian cities. Travellers will find significant savings on accommodation, food, and activities.

Consider areas just outside the historic core, such as Arbanasi or Brodarica, for even more budget-friendly stays, all within easy reach of the city centre by foot or local bus.

Much of Zadar's appeal is free to enjoy. Couples can wander through the ancient Roman Forum, listen to the unique sounds of the Sea Organ, or marvel at the light display of the Greeting to the Sun, particularly captivating at sunset. Strolling along the Riva promenade is a delightful and free pastime. Dining is also very reasonable; look for local 'konobas' (taverns) for authentic Croatian dishes at a fraction of the price you'd pay elsewhere, often offering delicious fresh seafood and local wines.
