“FRIENDLY CENTRAL HOTEL”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is located in the town centre, near the tip of the peninsula. It is about a 15 minute walk from the bus/ railway stations. There is little sign of the bastion itself inside the building, apart from the half-oval staircase, it is mainly a solid C19th house.

Reception was friendly and efficient with a cheery greeting whenever one passed.

I had single occupancy of a double room. Spacious, old-fashioned decor, pleasant, view out mainly of trees and through them of the ferry-port, minibar, television (BBC and CNN in English), room safe. Lighting could usefully have been brighter, and blackout curtains were not quite wide enough to prevent sunlight coming in at the edges. Comfortable bed. Clean, except that I felt that I had to wash the shelf in the fridge. Efficient housekeeping - room was made up while I was at breakfast.

Large shower room, with spacious walk-in shower. Soap and shower gel/shampoo only, OK. Lots of racks and a heated towel rail. Clean.

Breakfast was a good buffet selection, with cooked eggs available on demand. Friendly service.

Overall, pleasant, well-sited. It was by far the most expensive of the four hotels that I stayed in in Croatia and Trieste, and no better than two of the others. The value for money was therefore my only question, though of course price levels are location-specific.

“A bit of a disapointment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed there for 1 night in October for business. Checkin was very effective. However when I got into the room (on the the tiniest facing the street) I could see on the lamp over the bed and the socket over the working desk that a layer of dust that either indicates that the room has not been occupy for some time or that cleaning wasnt properly done in the rooms. It didnt get better when I opened the closet to store my clothes. There was a thick layer of dust.
I therefore called reception to show them and change room. I was immediately offered another (bigger) room which was better. However, I was quite surprised that I wasn't even offered help to move there. I basically had to carry all my stuff from the closet again and walk back and forth several times to the new room.
Except for that, the hotel seems cosy and charming enough. Internet is available for free in the room (wired and wireless if you are close enough to catch the free signal from reception area). Breakfast which is fine is available in their small but cosy restaurant by reception.
I do hope that they will do something about my feedback given to them regarding the cleaning, which will make it the gem it deserves to be.

“An excellent stay at Hotel Bastion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

I was blown away by the excellence of this hotel. I was lucky enough to stay for 4 nights, and all of the staff members that I encountered were all extremely nice and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were very luxurious and clean. The location is fantastic, in the centre of beautiful Zadar, and within minutes walk of the ferries. My room also had a fantastic view of the sea. And the breakfast was delicious, including many local products. I will definitely be back.

“A real find and a gem of a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

As a seasoned traveller, I am always on the look at for the next gem of a hotel rather than the bog standard, soulless chain hotels. In the Hotel Bastion I found it. It was our first time to Croatia and first impressions count.

The Bastion did not disappoint and nor did Croatia. The hotel rooms and communal areas were clean and cosy. The rooms have nice modern decor and comfy bed and clean and modern bathrooms. The breakfast is plentiful and a good a round selection of items.

The best asset for the Hotel Bastion is its staff, they are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them and they made my Daughter feel like a princess while we were there.
