I rarely write a poor review but this is an exception due to the lack of customer service I received, rather than the property itself.

First the property itself. 'Retro Rooms' are located within the old part of Zadar and consist of two apartments with a separate door to each leading from a common alcove.  They are on the fourth floor, there is no lift and, as another person has noted, it is quite dim around the building at night;  you have to make sure that you press the light button on each floor - lights are not automatic - or you will indeed be stumbling around in the dark. 

The apartments are not serviced daily and, at least when I was there, appear to be managed by a travel agency on behalf of an owner. There were no resident staff, I met no hostess. Breakfast is not served on the premises but rather you are given vouchers for a nearby café: the staff there are nice, the food is ok, not brilliant as there is limited choice ie it's the same deal day-after-day. 

On the positive side, the room was very clean, the bed comfortable and there was a small fridge with a bottle of chilled water inside.  The building is situated around the corner from a supermarket that is open until late, it is also close to the ruins of the Roman Forum and the archaeological museum. So location is fine.

Now to the particulars of my experience. Arriving late from the airport, I was greeted by a pleasant young man who - not the owner please note - unlocked the front gate to the building, let me into the apartment and collected my payment for the room ie in advance. It was just as well he was there to help me with my bag up the stairs.  He was at a loss when I said I would need help getting my bag down when I checked out.  I think he was just paid to meet and greet.  

A couple of days later, I sent a text asking if they (the agency?) could organise a transfer to the bus station (obviously I was willing to pay).  After a delay, I received a response stating that they didn't do this type of transfer (although when I first booked the apartment I received an email enquiring whether I wanted to rent a car or needed a taxi from the airport).  Anyway to cut a long story short, I managed to drag my 14kg suitcase down step-by-step until the last very steep flight of stairs, when I asked a nice young tradesman to help me, which he gladly did.

Many stairs, no lift

Comfy, safe and clean room. We loved the terrace which provided views across Zadar. In the heart of the city and less than a one minute walk to the Roman Ruins and one of the main squares.

The only downside was that the location was difficult to find but this could have been because we arrived late at night and in darkness. 

The apartment is located on the fourth floor.

Great location. Loved the terrace and views across Zadar

The apartment is nice and comfortable and it is centrally located right in the middle of Zadar. One thing to bear in mind though is that this apartment is located on the second floor and there are no lifts, so you will have to walk upstairs with your luggage when you arrive. Overall I think this apartment was good value for money and I would stay there again.

nice apartment in town

The owner Martina is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is cosy, clean and comfortable. The facilities are excellent. 

The apartment is four levels above street and accessible by stairs only. At night, it can be a little dark along the corridors and stairs.

Cool and cosy apartment managed by excellent host

Great place, the very central location in Zadar you can get. However, you need to park outside the city centre and walk to the apaprtment. The room is on 4th floor, no elevator, but it has a small terrace and the view is "wow"... The room is very nicely furnished, clean, the host is kind... Straight A!
