We arrived in Zadar without a booking and hoped to stay at the Adriana hotel for a two night stay. Sadly, upon arrival we were informed that is was booked out (the hotel looked amazing and I would defo recommed a stay there). However, we were directed towards the Presidents Hotel as an alternative as they had 'one room left'.... more

We were alerted by the reviews we had read. The hotel has been beautifully finished, and the staff are trying herd to be helpful. The downside is the expense ($1300Kna) in May,and 70kna for the carpark which we thought a bit steep. They tried the 'Visa machine is broken' trick on check in but we explained we had no access... more

Problem on my stay not previously experienced by reviewers -- credit card machine is broken and I had to pay in cash. Desk clerk at check-in said it had not been working "for a long time".

Everything is ok and average, except for the prices. The rooms are ok,... more

We had a little troubke finding the hotel and when we arrived they had lost our booking even though I had an email confirmation from them. It did not matter as they had plenty of rooms available. The room was comfortable. We had an excellent dinner in the restaurant that night. It suited us for a one night stay passing... more

As a 5 star rating, it should be excellent. Nice dining room. breakfast great. Rooms small for the money. however, prices can be negotiated down depending on circumstances. They did recommend us to see the "ORGAN by the Ocean", interesting site in Zadar near the OLD TOWN. Tourists on a budget should search for Pensions. A summary of our 12... more
