Drunken Monkey is one of the best hostels I've been to. The staff is extremely friendly, the atmosphere is great and the hostel is one of the cleanest I've seen. The common area is the best place to meet people and hang out drinking your own alcohol or the beer you can buy at the little bar. You feel at... More

An awesome time spent here (so good I stayed a week) from the moment I rocked up and rang the bell I was greeted to a warm reception. Super clean hostel with everything you need, ace showers, nice little kitchen area and the rooms are clean and comfy. But it's the staff that really make this place buzz. Clued up... More

Hostel was easy to find from the Bus station - I had printed a simple map from google maps. The Hostel was lovely inside! Really chilled atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful with good reccomendations for resturants/clubs and things to do and they were good fun on a night out. Bar inside the hostel was great to start a... More

Nothin wrong with the hostel. Was clean and slept fairly well in a five bed dorm, air conditioning unit far too noisy tho. Main problem was paid 17 pound per night for a dorm bed. Would normally be a lot for a small place such as zadar. The hostel is a good 20-25 minute walk which of course we were... More

Great place. Clean rooms, really chilled sun terrace with deck chairs, cool bar and a garden with pool, shade, and bbq. Staff here are awesome; they run bar crawls, we played football with them and they helped out with our car hire and everything. Would wholeheartedly recommend. Location is slightly out of town but it is a nice coastal walk... More

From the incredibly friendly staff members to the cleanliness of the place, I cannot imagine what our time (6 friends) in Zadar would have been like without the Drunken Monkey. Tons of resources available on touring and travel, welcoming and outgoing staff, fair costs, authentic location outside the hustle and bustle of the Old Town- and a bar downstairs to... More

Choose this over The Wild Fig. The two hostels sound similar. This is better. The cleanest hostel my girlfriend and I have ever stayed in, and we stayed in the largest, mixed, dorm. BBQs and bar crawls abound. Brilliant staff, always available, and brimming with local knowledge. Fun too! They booked us a bungee jump and, amongst other things, cabs... More

The Drunken Monkey was my first experience of hostel life, yet i certainly wasn't disappointed by it. Upon arrival, you are greeted by very helpful, friendly staff, who efficiently complete the usual paperwork before leading you to your rooms. Following this, you are invited into reception, where you'll be informed of the appropriate hotspots and excursions available to you within... More

I can't think of how a hostel could be much better. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Brilliant atmosphere, with an ideal bar to meet people and have a drink or 5. The hidden location allows you to explore the outside of the old town whilst walking to the centre, which is an easy, 20 minute walk. Me and my... More

One of my favourite all time hostels. Was a perfect prelude to going to Hideout Festival and also a perfect recovery spot after the festival. Short walk from the train & bus station. Also right next to the beach too. Staff are friendly and its just great all around.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
We are the only established hostel in Zadar owned and run by fellow travelers. Set in a charming part of town only 15 minutes walk along the water front to the old city gates. 'Why should I stay outside the old town? 'Well, quite simply, we offer what the other hostels do not. We have a decked garden complete with sun loungers, splash pool, bar, and a sun terrace. As well as this we have a private courtyard, movie projector and guest computers. We are a clean, comfortable and secure hostel, located in the safe neighborhood of Arbanasi. Ideally situated minutes away from the main bus station, and the scenic Kolovare promenade; nothing Zadar has to offer is out of arm's reach. Note to self to all our globetrotters, avid and novice travelers that like to leave our beloved reviews - We are not in the Old Town! We are able to offer you all the facilities noted above for that very reason. We do have a bar that can get a little exciting and noisy at times, however, this is well regulated by us. We are definitely a hostel that offers fun and excitement as well as relaxation and calm. Come see for yourselves...... ... more   less
