“Boutique Hostel Forum strikes me as a top choice in Zadar's Old Town, especially appreciating its central location a few steps from the cathedral. The rooms, though, might present noise issues during summer due to the nearby nightclub, and I would suggest better soundproofing in the rooms. Still, the privacy offered by the pod-style beds and the cleanliness of the facilities stand out.”
