Reviews of Guesthouse Zakaria

21 September 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Right in the centre of town although it is all up hill with a lot of steps - besides that absolutely no problem. The room was great and there is a large communal kitchen and balcony, some under cover for everyone to use with a huge fridge. Hvar is a fabulous little island - very worth the 1 hour trip from Split on a very fast, efficient & cheap catamaran. The food is all pretty standard - lots of Italian influence - in fact on our whole time there I never encountered one Croatian dish! Lovely cathedral square and the whole place very Med in the 50's. Lots of tourists though - but that is true of everywhere. Do go both right & left from the cathedral square which is where all the beaches are . To the right - if you are facing the sea - is a very stylish beach with double beds - yes double beds out on their own little jetties with huge curtains round them! - you can hire them for £55 a day & they are next to a wonderful cool bar overlooking the ocean - very very nice. To the left is a very nice walk going to a lovely church and passing a tiny but popular pebbly beach - all the beaches are pebbly by the way. This is very much a cafe culture with lots of cool harbourside restaurants and just hanging out and having a laid back time. Luki & his wife are excellent with lots of information and help. This is a lovely little house and Hvar is a wonderful little island. I would say though that 2/3 days is probably enough to see everything!

Liked: The people running it were so nice - the man came to meet us at the bu station and carried our suitcases all the way up. the location was great - a five minute walk from the pedestrian promenade (restaurants, cafes, shops) and the beach, and a one minute walk from the bus station to go into the old city.

Liked: My husband and i stayed in a private room - but when we arrived we found that our room was like an apartment complete with kitchen, sitting room, and lovely patio with a view to the sea. Too nice! The owner of the hostel is very accomodating - he made us feel very welcome to use his home as our own. He has a pool and lovely roofdeck which we used - nice if you want to get away from the hustel of Dubrovnik. On our last night there he had a BBQ for guests in honor of the croatia v. australia game which he showed on his huge projector TV on the roofdeck - really nice!! We were driven to the ferry terminal whenever we needed to be as well, which was fab, because walking up and down croatia's multitudes of steps with bags isn't always that much fun : ) (pack reallly light!) Highly recommended - just note that house zakaria is about a 20 min. walk to the city walls which is fine going down, but can be a mission coming back up - especially if you're a bit tipsy!!!
