Hotel is cute and has a good location. We stayed in the annexe which was ‘ok’. Much like previous writers it did feel like an Airbnb. The corridor directly outside your room has tea and coffee machines so beware if you want a lay in or a late start and the room next door decide to turn the coffee machine on at 6:30am!!!! Not ideal and a little unnecessary when this could be an in room facility. If your are in the annexe and have mobility issues beware the lift doesn’t work and there is a large staircase to climb. We had lunch in the restaurant and the food quality was good. Our stay was ruined by the fact we were shown where to park by reception staff. A very small 6 metre to 10 metre gap directory outside the hotel entrance. Returning after a day trip we parked here but ‘apparently’ the back of the car went beyond a ‘restriction’ sign. Written in Croatian and not an obvious ‘DO NOT PARK’ notice and something I thought the hotel would tell us about when we were shown where to park. The car was literally right outside the hotel. We woke up early to drive to split to get our flight to find the car had been towed. Reception told us it was a 15 minute walk away and they couldn’t help. We retrieved the car at an approx cost of £100. The car was towed at 7:10pm and get the office of authority closes at 5pm and when I questioned this I just got a ‘shoulder shrug’. On researching the fees and parking restrictions I came across a lot of travellers who had met the same demise so please be careful if you have a car.…
Only stayed here one night on a 11 day tour of Croatia. Nice small hotel but a little cool for school, in terms of promoting their art work which wasn’t very special. I liked my room which was a loft except it was supposed to come with a bed on the lower floor for my son and it really didn’t. He ended up scrambling to get another room in town, after the hotel reception host said they were fully booked. But after he left, when it was too late, the same guy told me that he had the keys to an apartment in the hotel he could have used. Well, thanks for nothing! They do get two “A” marks: The morning breakfast was excellent and served in a beautiful courtyard. And, turns out I left my iPhone charger in the room, and when I called afterward, they very graciously couriered it to my next destination in Croatia. Good service!…
I stayed just one night at this beautiful hotel in the historic centre of Zadar. The hotel is located in a historic building, beautifully restored a few years ago. The hotel's decor is eclectic, with fine furnishings and artistic works. In all, in the main building, there are only nine rooms, divided into two categories. In the nearby annex there are another seven rooms. In addition, in the orangery and the interior garden there is an excellent all-day restaurant. For the breakfast there is a buffet, but there are also various delicious dishes that can be ordered. The atmosphere is refined, but relaxed. The staff are courteous and helpful. The service is very good. I took a standard double room. Located on the ground floor of the building, the room overlooked the splendid interior garden. It was spacious with high ceilings and a gorgeous bathroom. Everything was very well maintained and clean. The cosmetic products and the minibar offer were of excellent quality. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience the quintessential of three-thousand-year-old city of Zadar at its best. Here the past, the cultural and gastronomic tradition meet with modern comfort and remain in the memory for a long time.…
This hotel exceeded our expectations. Very friendly service, very stylish rooms and interior with perfect breakfast at a great spot very close to the main attractions of Zadar old town. Free perking included as well (not high season though).
We wanted a small, quiet, characterful hotel that still has a touch of class - this is a secret gem. We stayed in the main hotel, not the annexe rooms, and could just see the sea from our window. As I was holidaying with my adult daughter, the studio-effect room with staircase and mezzanine floor, worked very well for us. It had all that we needed - except perhaps a kettle - it's a British thing! But staff were very obliging if you wanted something in your room and would bring it up from the restaurant. The mini-bar was also well stocked. We ate in the restaurant on several evenings as it had a lovely ambience. The menu was interesting and the food was delicious. The chef made a large salad for me on one evening on request despite it not being on the menu. Staff were efficient, professional and ready to help. The mellow jazz playing in the background created a lovely relaxing vibe. Breakfasts were lovely - especially the freshly squeezed orange juice and we noticed that many local professionals popped in throughout the day to have a coffee in the gorgeous walled garden. All-in-all I could not fault the Almayer - my worry is that I'll never get back unless I book well ahead. It was a beautiful, little oasis to return to after sightseeing. For a tasteful, unique, boutique hotel - this ticks all the boxes. Thanks for looking after us so well!…
Wonderful hotel. Clean. Beautiful rooms and modern bathrooms. Lovely staff. Delicious breakfast. Wish I could stay longer. We even had a bath tub in our room. Snd while it took quite a long time to run. It was worth it. Will definitely be coming back to this wonderful area and this hotel.
Super friendly and humorous staff. Room stylish, quiet and clean in one of the best locations in Zadar. Stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the nice breakfast in a very personal setting. Hotel advise for activities was spot on!
I was aware that the main hotel was closed and we had rooms in the annexe - what I didn’t realise was this meant it was more like a vey expensive air bnb experience . The breakfast is served to your room - but there was only a small desk with a single chair to eat it at. There was no hotel reception - you neede to email or phone the reception for any information . Breakfast was served late - at 8 am so we missed it on a day we were going out early ( on another day we especially asked for early breakfast which was delivered at 7am ) Room 4 was nice if a bit dark . There is no hotel courtyard or outside seating area available at the moment, so it’s was a lot of money for a room with breakfast eaten on my knee.
We arrived into Zadar and had issues with our original reservation that confirmed us with a room with two beds. (it was two twin beds pushed together into a king. We wanted to separate beds). Elena was amazing. She helped us and offered me a studio apartment next to the hotel because the hotel is still closed from the pandemic. Great location, great value.
