The Bastion Heritage Hotel in Zadar was a lovely hotel with a great restaurant and atmosphere. The experience was very enjoyable.
The hotel was great and probably the best hotel in the area. I had a wonderful time staying here.
Overview
Hotel Bastion is a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel situated in the historic core of Zadar. This hotel is beautifully nestled in the preserved remains of a 13th-century Venetian defensive tower, brimming with history and contrast. From this location, you're within walking distance of Zadar's main monuments, including the Sea Organ and Sun Monument (5 minutes away).
The rooms at Hotel Bastion are thoughtfully designed, offering an intimate encounter with Zadar's rich history. The Standard rooms feature handmade wooden furniture and polished teak floors, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere, while the Superior rooms add a touch of luxury with their stone walls. If you're seeking a little extra space, the Deluxe rooms and suites feature separate sitting areas and work desks. The Luxury Suite even has a large terrace with a private Jacuzzi, and all rooms come with organic toiletries.
At Hotel Bastion, you can indulge in Zadar's old recipes and homemade food at the Kaštel Restaurant, located in the picturesque remains of a 13th-century fortress. You'll also have access to the Castello wellness center, which offers beauty treatments and fitness activities—from chromotherapy to steam baths—all designed to nourish your body, soul, and mind.

The Bastion Heritage Hotel in Zadar was absolutely beautiful. It was conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the stunning Roman ruins. The hotel offered a great breakfast, and despite some rain, the view of the inner bay with yachts was spectacular.
Such friendly staff! Definitely a highlight. Nice hotel with some "character"-felt quaint and cozy. Clean and comfortable.
