The Bastion is more expensive than other hotels in Zadar but its location stands out and the hotel is of a high standard as you'd expect for the price. Friendly and helpful staff, clean room with a decent spec. Strange that the coffee with the otherwise decent buffet breakfast was so dreadful but that's a small gripe. Didn't use the... more

Historic Zadar is on an island--with limited automobile access and very few hotels. We made the mistake of booking a hotel on the outskirts of town (advertized as a short walk...yeah right), but after find that it was a good 7-8 miles from the historic center, we cancelled. Luckily we found the Hotel Bastion--located in the heart of Zadar. The... more

It is indeed a very nice hotel - a beautiful old building, all redone and decorated in a trendy-kitsch style. Breakfast is really good and the staff is attentive. Location is the most. The room was small for 190 Euro - and the AC was not exactly cooling the room. more

We stayed here on our honeymoon and couldn't have been more delighted. The location is absolutely perfect -- it's the only hotel in the entire Old City of Zadar, which is where all of the sights, restaurants, etc., are located. While most of the Old City is pedestrian-only, you can reach the hotel by car and park right outside --... more

The location is perfect. Very close to Zadar centre city and the water. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of fruits, veggies, cheese and meats, plus they offer a variety of egg dishes. The staff was very helpful, made our dinner reservations, answered our questions and everyone spoke English, which was a plus. The only down side was that the room... more

The hotel has an incredible location, within the city walls. It tries really hard to be trendy, and ends up being a little awkward. The rooms smelled like mold but they were big. The restaurant is gorgeous but the food is horrible. worst food ever! the staff is nice though... more

We decided to stay at the Hotel Bastion because it was very close to the ferry terminal and had decent reviews on Trip Advisor. We're so glad we did! We arrived on our ferry (from Sali) in the middle of a rainstorm and it only took us a minute to locate the hotel and then run there. From the minute... more

This hotel is very stylish and in an excellent location, beside the water and on the edge of the old town. The reception staff were friendly and efficient. The room was quite small but beautifully furnished. Unfortunately, our experience of the restaurant was very poor. It seemed to be completely out of control. They claim to be a 'slow restaurant'... more
