Hostels in Croatia |
|||||||
|
There are two kinds of hostels in Croatia: "official" youth hostels operated by the Croatian Youth Hostel Association (HFHS) and "private" hostels run as a business. Hostels are an excellent alternative for solo travellers because you avoid the "single supplement" imposed in all hotels and much private accommodation. Also, it's so easy to meet a travelling companion in a hostel. Couples and small groups however, will nearly always do better renting a room or apartment, unless of course you're looking for the kind of ambience only a convivial youth hostel can provide.
"Official " YHA hostels are part of Hostelling International. There are HI hostels in Zagreb, Pula, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Punat (Krk Island), Veli Losinj and Rijeka. All are open year-round except those of Punat and Veli Losinj which are open for groups only from October to May. Prices are about €15.50 for a dorm bed including breakfast and a bit more for those hostels that offer singles and doubles. Notice that if you do not have a valid Hostelling International card you pay about €1.35 for a welcome stamp. After collecting six welcome stamps--presto!-you have a HI card. Need I mention that you should reserve well in advance for a hostel along the coast in July & August? There are also some excellent private hostels scattered throughout Croatia that are clean, safe and well run. Usually breakfast and linen can be arranged and some have a few double rooms on offer. Half-board can also be arranged but bear in mind that you can eat fairly cheaply and well in most parts of Croatia.
