Our second stay at donat and enjoyed the experience once again!

One night stay, clean hotel but very dated

Really bad outdated hotel ,all inclusive food was mostly tasteless recycled .i am diabetic and all drinks were full syrup and there was no snacks available throughout the day and no ice cream for anyone with children ,music blasting at pool bar was just about rave !! Dont go to this hotel you hsve been warned !!!!! Dont know who done other reviews but they could never have stayed anywhere better

The hotel was built in the 1980s and it shows. The rooms are smallish, but kept immaculately clean. The hotel grounds are well kept. The all-inclusive program provides excellent value. A variety of warm and cold dishes is served 3 times a day. The nearby beach is pebbly and access to water is somewhat difficult. The hotel seems popular with German and Swedish visitors.

Hotel has seen better days - but is serviceable and AI makes it excellent value. 10-15 minute bus ride to town for 12kn along picturesque waterside. Coastal walkway on the edge of a spacious green site with various Falkensteiner hotels. Recommend Walk to Diklo and beyond. Food in hotel repetitive but good choices available. Pool bar open all day til 10pm - soft drinks, beer,wine included.

Great

I don’t usually leave reviews but this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hotel. I called the front desk to confirm I could check in later than midnight and they said no problem. I showed up at around 2am and they said they are fully booked. The man at the front desk was also very unhelpful. He said that he could see my reservation but there were no free rooms. Eventually him and another found a room and went in to get it ready, which took an hour and a half. So finally after waiting in the lobby, extremely tired, I was finally let into the room, and was provided a lunch bag (very gross - slices of dry bread, a canned meat spread?, fruit and yogurt). I wasn’t really provided any info at check in either like when check out is or breakfast. Then to top it off, at about 8am someone on staff came into the room. There was also banging and loud noises throughout the morning. Overall a bad experience and would not recommend, especially at such a high price. Good note - nice location, very close to the beach.

Great. Perfect. Thank you

Great

Very loud at night as they had a school groups arrived that day. Besides it's very good, near the beach, private pool, all inclusive and not expensive. Stuff is just great.

We were upgraded to Falkensteiner Funimation Borik, and that was an amazing hotel. Excellent food, cosy SPA, service minded personnel

Super helpful and friendly staff (more than happy to help me work on my Croatian whilst I was there). Food selection at the restaurant is good so I recommend all inclusive and watching the sunset from just behind the hotel is a beautiful experience. Buses are easy to get into town (although I walked - about 45 minutes).

The fact that the hotel is right by the beach made it’s location beautiful. The sunset was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a while. In addition, the all inclusive was great too. They had plenty of different food for everybody. Something I didn’t like was the staff or people in general tend to be not so welcoming and barely spoke English. I had an incident in the ocean and there was only one who really went out of her way to help me. Her name is Kristina and she works at reception. She is awesome and does a great job! Everybody else was not as welcoming as I mentioned before. Overall the hotel is great tho and I probably would go again.

I liked the included amenities such as free beer/wine/juice in the lobby until 10pm. It was a very simple room but the only complaint I have is that the WiFi did not reach to my room; I had to go into a common area to use the WiFi.

OK! that is all I can say,could’ve made my stay a bit nicer if staff were friendly! but that wasn’t the case, I was a lone traveller and they focused more on big groups or families! rooms are absolutely awful, very out dated and just really wasn’t pleased with anything AT ALL! I’m not fussed in staying at budget hotels but for the price I paid for, I’d expect at least kettle and coffe in my room!

Great location and we had a room with sea views and a double balcony! In a double room apartment. Hotel little dated but clean & friendly staff. However not made clear about double room. We booked 2 when 1 may have been sufficient. Food was good. Plenty of choice & loads of it. The all inclusive drinks was not so good! Choice of soft drinks, still/sparking water, red/white wine, coffee or tea and 1 local beer. Usually you'd get at least 1 local spirit?! Quality not great. Shandies & spritzers order of the day. Also it was between 10am til 10pm. So you couldn't have a hot or soft drink in bar area B4 10am. You had to go to restaurant in other nearby building. Pool was nice size & kept very clean. Some Sun loungers around it would have been nice. Easy to get into Zadar Old Town by bus, cab or Fun Train! Plenty of alternative eateries in the local area Borik if you fancy a change from the hotel. Part of Falkensteiner resort so all the taxi driver familiar with it. Happy Hour for cocktails all day Monday & Thursday. Rep on site for excursions to see islands. Good if you like, nuisances if you're not interested! Overall, we're happy with our stay.

The evening entertainment and the all inclusive deal was a welcome surprise. Staff were friendly and helpful which is always a bonus

Hotel Donat is located very close to the sea. It is very convenient. The hotel has a swimming pool and a bar nearby. The bar always had free drinks (soft drinks, beer, wine, tea, coffee). The service was very good, the room was cleaned well. The food in the restaurant was diverse, it contained lots of vegitables and fruits, On the last day we were provided with lunch bags. We enjoyed staying in the hotel and would like to come back

We really liked the location to the sea and the kindness of the people.

Price was cheap for all the free food and drink you get included. Food was good. Various school trips were staying at hotel so was a bit of a mad house around the hotel and restaurant.

Everything you need and clean

Hotel is dated, an it would need a renovation, but the service and the staff is great. Decent sized rooms for a family of four.

This hotel was on a complex, it was not made clear to us from the beginning of our stay that we could use the facilities in the other hotels on this site.

We were a little bit unsure about booking this hotel because of some reviews. The hotel is indeed a bit dated but overall our stay was pleasant and surely worth the price we paid. There were a few groups but it was not too full as we stayed end of September. There are three buildings and we stayed in a room with partial view of the sea. Direct access to the beach from the pool which is decent size. The food was plentiful but not gourmet. There is parking and it is close to Zadar city centre, we paid around US$ 5 uber ride each way. There is also a tourist train that leaves close from the hotel every 1h for Kuna 20 per person each way. So, we think it was a very good deal for the price we paid.

We noted that the prices fall a lot from mid-September so we managed to get a room here for around £60 a night all-inclusive for two people. The hotel is one of three on the site, the other two of which are more modern but this one is fine. The room we were given included two bedrooms with double beds, each with a balcony, separated by a corridor with a sink, and a bathroom. The hotel has a small pool, and there is a free-to-use table tennis table. The all-inclusive package included breakfast, lunch and dinner, with drinks available from the bar from 10am to 10pm (the bar is open to 11pm). The free drinks are all self-service, with wine, beer, soft drinks and coffee (from machines but using fresh coffee beans). We liked it that they use proper 200ml classes and cups, not the plastic cups that many all-inclusive cups wastefully use. There are plastic cups available for taking out however. As we arrived late we were given a bag of food which was pretty unpleasant in taste, but fortunately we found the food in the restaurant to be very nice with a large, fresh selection. We enjoyed every meal there and it really is outstanding value to get all this for such a good price. The service was very good, the room was cleaned well, the restaurant kept well-stocked (and it was not crowded), and the receptionists were helpful. On our last day we were allowed to have lunch and to continue having free drinks during the afternoon.

Nice hotel close to the beach. Could do with improving set of foods as it’s all inclusive also hotel staff is helpful just no smile or chat with them. Overall ok. Happy with stay.

Nice hotel near the beach, very clean all i clusive is the perfect

Overall we had an excellent stay. Friendly staff. If you are travelling in a low budget it is excellent. Very close to the beach (1 minutes walking).

Got what I think was a good all inclusive deal online, I had stayed at the old Hotel Zadar next door before the war about 1990 and had a great holiday, that hotel is now closed and used for staff accomadation. the Hotel Donat has a spacious cool loby come lounge and bar area with friendly staff with access to the quite large outside pool with clean clear water with sun loungers around it You take meals in the building opposite which has a very large dining room enough to take hundreds at a time, the buffet is set centraly in two parts hot and cold in two locations in the room there are help yourself drinks dispensers for jiuces wine and beer. Along with a selction of fish meats veg pasta cold salads and deserts there is a selsction of fruits on the desert table, so personaly I enjoyed the food. My room was clean had a good bathroom a comfy bed and an unrestricted view of the sea from the balcony which had a table and chair.
