Downtown Boutique Hostel

Wonderful! ☺️ Our only hostel stay on a 3 week tour of Croatia travelling with our 4 yr old so a hostel was a bit of a gamble but after reading previous reviews from families we thought we’d try it. Greeted by lovely staff. Room was a compact double (our 4 yr old co sleeps with us anyway but this room size definitely wouldn’t work if not Co sleeping as room is not large enough to accommodate a pull out bed) Desk, TV, wardrobe and compact shower room Use of common room - fairly small for a hostel - dining table that seats 6 some taller bar tables, a sofa and bean bags. Communal fridge/sink, kettle, microwave and 2 burner hob (queues to use at busy periods and this was off season) Garden area - not set up when we visited in March but I’m sure a lovely space for summer. Great central location Excellent breakfast and choices Good coffee Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, it was far better than many of the private apartments we booked along our travels. Can get clothes washed and dried for €10 ☺️

On my first day, I arrived at the hostel from the airport after 11 PM. The staff (Marija) sent instructions on how to enter the room after the reception was cleared, so I could check in properly and receive my locker key the next morning. I checked out the same way (my return flight was also very early). Downtown Boutique is in the center of the old town, close to everything (about a seven-minute walk from the airport bus stop). The room was on the third floor, facing the courtyard. Clean and had a comfortable bed. Perfect for a budget stay. I'd happily return.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. They worked hard to keep the place clean and running. I appreciated curtains on the bunks. Rooms were quiet for a hostel.
