Choose this over The Wild Fig. The two hostels sound similar. This is better. The cleanest hostel my girlfriend and I have ever stayed in, and we stayed in the largest, mixed, dorm. BBQs and bar crawls abound. Brilliant staff, always available, and brimming with local knowledge. Fun too! They booked us a bungee jump and, amongst other things, cabs... More

The Drunken Monkey was my first experience of hostel life, yet i certainly wasn't disappointed by it. Upon arrival, you are greeted by very helpful, friendly staff, who efficiently complete the usual paperwork before leading you to your rooms. Following this, you are invited into reception, where you'll be informed of the appropriate hotspots and excursions available to you within... More

I can't think of how a hostel could be much better. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Brilliant atmosphere, with an ideal bar to meet people and have a drink or 5. The hidden location allows you to explore the outside of the old town whilst walking to the centre, which is an easy, 20 minute walk. Me and my... More

One of my favourite all time hostels. Was a perfect prelude to going to Hideout Festival and also a perfect recovery spot after the festival. Short walk from the train & bus station. Also right next to the beach too. Staff are friendly and its just great all around.

I visited the Drunken Monkey with friends and had no idea what to expect - any preconceptions of grotty hostels and 'slumming it' went out of the window as soon as we arrived! Chris and the team were very helpful and friendly and gave us numerous maps which we scribbled frantically on with their personal recommendations and hidden places to... More

In a first view, the hostel have a nice decoration, filling the air with good sensations. The room was quite confortable with good heating, and the bathroom was very very good for a hostel. Nice showers. Don't forget about the lounge with an exchange book part in a very mystic ambient. The staff was the main point of Hostel, giving... More

I had a great time in this wonderful hostel! It is not in the center of the city but you have a five-minute walk by the sea to go to the center and it is near the train and bus station. The staff will help you to make your trip unique and there is a great ambiance in the bar... More

This place is great! Chris, Kyle & Co are so friendly and helpful. They give great advice on where to go and what to see. Rooms and bathrooms are spotless, bed very comfy - much better than you expect in a hostel. Location is about 15/20 mins walk to the old town - the hostel will order you a cab... More

The staff are what make this hostel so special. Thank you to Chris,Eva and Kyle for being so helpful and welcoming. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean, same for the bathrooms. The bar is a great place to mix with other hostel guests as is the terrace upstairs. The hostel is a little bit outside of Zadar's old town... More
