Our take
Hidden Tree sits on Poljana Požarišće, inside Zadar's old town peninsula, about three minutes on foot from the Roman Forum and St Donatus' Church and some 400 metres from Five Wells Square. That puts the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun within an easy evening walk. Rooms are compact, around 19 square metres, with walk-in showers and views over the garden or the inner courtyard, and there is a lift. I would book it for couples who want the old town without the noise of a waterfront terrace. It is not for groups: stag and hen parties are not accepted, and neither are pets.
- ✓Walk to the Sea Organ at the tip of the peninsula for sunset; from the Forum it is a few minutes along the Riva, past the seafront steps where the pipes play.
- ✓Pack for a beach walk rather than a beach stay: the nearest bathing spot listed for the hotel is about 14 minutes on foot.
- ✓Zadar airport is about 14 km away; the hotel lists an airport shuttle, which saves looking for a parking space around the pedestrian old town.
- ✓Ask for a garden-facing room: the hotel offers garden or courtyard views, and the garden side is the quieter choice in a lively old town.
Why we love it

- A delicious buffet breakfast to start the day
Why guests love itHidden Tree suits couples and small families who want to sleep inside Zadar's walls and walk everywhere. From Poljana Požarišće, the Roman Forum and St Donatus' Church are about three minutes away, the Riva and the Sea Organ a little further, and a lift serves the rooms. The garden and terrace give a quiet corner after a day in the streets, and breakfast is a buffet. The limits: rooms of about 19 square metres are tight for a family of four, the nearest beach is roughly 14 minutes on foot, and the 9.3 guest score rests on only 28 reviews. I would choose it for a two- or three-night city stay rather than a beach holiday.
