Another Cosmos tour gem with an interesting location on an industrial estate between a coach park and a garage. Hopeless air-conditionong and a very basic room. Food Ok but only just. Dining room very hot and airless.

We added Zadar to our honeymoon itinerary at the last minute, and Hotel Porto was one of the few hotels in the city that had any rooms left. Our room was rather basic, but comfortable, quiet, and quite clean. We had a rental car with GPS (I highly recommend!), so we found the hotel rather easily, and found that the hotel is just a five-to-ten minute drive from the center of town. I can certainly see how those traveling without a car would've been put off by the location and the distance from the heart of Zadar. The "industrial" location didn't bother us, since we didn't get any noise from the nearby construction, and since we spent most of our time touring the nearby area anyway. The hotel staff was unfailingly kind and friendly, and when our passports were stolen (during a tour, not at the hotel!), they helped us navigate the local police station to report the incident. They also had some very good restaurant recommendations. We can't wait to return to Zadar, and when we do, we will definitely consider another stay at the Hotel Porto.

Don't choose this hotel if you're going in summer, as the tiny air conditioning unit can't cope with the ample sized rooms. The hotel is relatively new and looks good but I couldn't overlook this factor as I barely slept. The dining room is also absolutely stifling.

We stayed at Hotel Porto for one night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were more than willing to help us get transportation to the bus station the next day. They were also very prompt with emails. The room was clean, simple, and neat. The breakfast was okay, but not super. The location is not the best. It is a shiny new building in an industrial type area. It is close to the airport though. We arrived in Zadar late at night and ended up walking from the bus stop in the dark...quite scary. Decent place for a one night, sleep only part of your trip. Quite far from town.
