The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hostel Kolovare is a small, clean hostel located right in front of Kolovare Beach in beautiful Zadar.
The Location
The hostel is located right by the Kolovare Beach, so it's perfect for some beach relaxing in summer. It is also within about a fifteen-minute walk of the historic centre of Zadar. If you arrive by bus then the main bus station is just a ten-minute walk away. A few restaurants and cafes are located nearby the hostel but walking into the city centre you will find more options. Free parking is provided in the adjacent hospital car park.
Rooms and Bathrooms
As it's a small hostel, there are only three dorm rooms. The biggest dorm room, which holds nine people, is the entry to the hostel, so you can get people walking through the room at any time of day; it's not the most secure room and the door is often left propped open. If you are looking for a smaller dorm then they have a five-bed mixed and five-bed female dorm. Personal lockers are supplied for each bed, which makes it feel a bit more secure, but they are very narrow lockers, so you can't fit wider bags in them. Bathrooms are clean, modern, and divided into different sexes -- with just one shower for each gender -- so there can be a wait at times.
Common Spaces
There is just one common area in the hostel with a basic kitchen including a microwave, fridge, and toaster as well as a couple of tables and chairs. A TV and DVD player are also available to be used in this room. A small outdoor seating area is available out the front to enjoy the summer sun. Reception is in a separate room at the front of the building and you can leave your luggage here before and after check in/out. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hostel. It is not a very social hostel and most guests head to bed early in this hostel so it wouldn't be a good option if you wanted to party in the hostel.
Summary
Hostel Kolovare is a perfect option if you want to be right near the beach, but also within walking distance of the city centre and the bus station.
