I came to Zadar for a world fencing championship, we normally stay where the organizers suggest, this time their pick was not up to par, so my girlfriend found Hotel Niko.
Martina, Madja and Nina at the front desk were absolutely wonderful.
Always pleasant and ready to help.
It’s a family business and you can tell by the attention to detail.
I had a room on the first floor and without elevator someone was always ready to help with the bags.
My room was impeccably clean and it had everything I needed, including a huge balcony with the view to the sea.
The location of the hotel could not have been been, close to everything and in front of the water.
The restaurant was fantastic, we ate there several times, and the service was perfect.
I highly recommend Hotel Niko if you are lucky enough to visit the beautiful city of Zadar.

This family-run hotel wins you over as the days go by, until you realize that you couldn't have made a better choice, for your stay in Zadar... We were guests for three nights at this property, which, in terms of cleanliness, attention to detail and in-room amenities, is unparalleled. Nina (the owner) will go out of her way, with all the rest of the staff, to give you assistance and help, from beach chairs and towels to excursions, not to mention dinner in the hotel restaurant, which we came to thanks to a rave review in the Lonely Planet guide. In short, we cannot thank everyone enough, who made us feel better than at home. However, we would like to make a few suggestions to improve, as much as possible, the quality of the stay of future guests (both I and my partner were involved in hotel accommodation). The area located in front of the hotel is currently occupied by a parking lot, which does not improve the approach to the hotel; it would be nice if that area could be transformed into a green open-air reception space by moving the parking lot elsewhere (with a valeting system, asking for a contribution from the clientele, of course); also looking forward, the carpeting in the rooms could gradually give way to less problematic flooring for people with asthma or similar problems, such as laminated parquet or natural stone; and the elevator could be at least partially replaced with an exposed freight elevator, in the stairwell (but don't worry about your luggage, the staff will have it for you in your room without you having to deal with it on the stairs). Suggestions for improving an offering that, however, is already really top-notch.
