Hotel Porto

Hotel Porto

8/10 Good
"The hotel's main advantage is that it is a 10 minutes drive from the airport, so ideal if you have a late arrival or early departure. It is on the edge of Zadar, and there is nothing of interest in the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little basic. Reception anc restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast is plentiful, but a little uninspiring and typical for a budget hotel."
