Loved the proximity to the beach and it was an easy walk to the old town. I didn’t swim but the pool was beautiful and the breakfast offered a great variety. Stayed originally for the parking but would definitely stay here again.

Good beach location. Nearby Fontana restaurant provides quality dining options albeit a bit on the pricey side. Old Town about 17 min walk. WiFi was spotty in our room first three days, I had to use a hotel office in lobby for work meeting to ensure a good connection: But staff very helpful and kind from check in staff to cleaning staff.

The Hotel Kolovare is not a 4 star hotel, its 2 1/2 stars at best. The room cost was way overpriced to way we received. While the hotel is quiet and the staff are great, it does not outweigh that the room we had was quite small, the lighting was poor and the beds were old and need of replacing.

The room was too hot (23c) and the hotel said they were not able to turn the temp down/air con on. Opened the door for cooler air and the mosquitos attacked. Rooms are quite dated and property is fairly run down. Staff was lovely and great location.

Disappointing experience
The front desk staff were very quick and helpful. However the hotel looks run down in some areas. The room was very dark, the carpet was dingy and the bed was quite hard. Overall, not good value for the money.

Positives - Great location, walkable to Old Town Zadar and opposite public beach. Large room (we had a suite). Good plentiful breakfast. Nice area around the pool with sun loungers (but people put towels down early so be aware to get there early).
Could do better - Air conditioning is centrally controlled so room tended to be too cool for us. Have to ask reception to change temperature in room. Pool ok, but could do with being upgraded.

Good location for beach - shame pool wasn’t open yet as weather (for Brits at least) is definitely hot enough! Room was a great size and comfy bed. Toilet was a little temperamental with flushing. When needed anything staff were helpful. Unfortunately, the heating was on / controlled by hotel - it was so hot in room and the reception said there was nothing they could do. Constant 22 degrees in room during night so would have to wake up to open door for some air.

Excellent value
Great location - only 10mins walk to the old town. The hotel style was obviously built in 70’s/80’s but looks to have been recently refurbished. Plenty of loungers around the pool and access to the beach. Pool Towels provided which is great if travelling light as well as toiletries in bathroom. Room size is fine though the sliding door between en-suite is a bit heavy. In the bathroom the shower is over the bath which is quite a deep step into and could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues but I stayed in a 5* hotel recently in the old town which was just the same. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dining room is functional and clean. Good choice at buffet breakfast - continental, hot, breads, pastries, fruit. Overall excellent value for money and I would stay again

The property is located very close to the sea and is 10 minute walk from old town. It's condition is average, with a strange mid level design that you have to carry luggages for a few steps. My room ran out of water to flush toilet. I requested a room change and was switched to a much smaller one. The in room air condition did not seem to work, and neither was the bathroom exhaustion fan.

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel. It has good bones and nice balconies, but it is a property that has not been kept up. It is not what travelers have come to expect from Croatia. It is in need of a deep cleaning and spruce up. The furniture in the lobby was dirty. They need to replace all the artificial plants with real plants. The carpet in the room was filthy and the edges of the carpeting is coming undone. There were marks and dirt all over the walls in the room and hair on the bed. The restaurant feels more like a cafeteria. One good thing is the pool area. Very nice.

Caution: there is no air conditioner control in the room! If we want the temperature to change we have the ask in the reception. The control in the room only works for turning on or off. Also it never goes below 22°C, although it shows 20. So if you like to change temperatures along the day or for the night, go somewhere else.
The hotel is very well located, in front of a beautiful beach, also a nice place to see the famous sunset (the beach). 1,5Km from downtown, so it is walkable. Breakfast is complete, but with only one coffee machine, there is always a line and it can take a while until you get your coffee. There was no coffee machine or free water in the room, no conditioner for the hair (only shampoo, that made my hair strange). The staff was nice, and tried to help with the room temperature, but there is not much they can do if the service itself is not available.
