It was a great value and the property did a great job with what they have to work with. The cocktails were good for those who like them on the sweeter side and the food was ok. Also for the included breakfast we could not sit outside and had to stay in the bar which smelled like the cocktails/bear from the night before. But would absolutely still recommend. The staff is amazing and very responsive.

Amazing customer experience

I booked a women’s dorm. Due to a glitch in their end, they had me reserved for a mixed dorm, and the women’s dorm was all booked up so they couldn’t get me in there. Normally when something like this happens in an indie hostel you’re screwed. But instead, they upgraded me to their nicest private room! What great customer service! The room was fantastic and the people were great, central location, hopping bar—can’t complain!

The lockers were a good size to fit a large back pack. Located right next to a tram stop and close to the main tourist attractions. I often had to wait for the toilet/shower as there is just 1 toilet and 2 showers for 12 females. The dorms were cleaned regularly and you could always find a staff person if you needed them.

Great Place with Great Location

Stayed in the 6 person room for a family vacation. Kids loved staying in the loft and bunk beds. Most things you want to do in Zagreb are walking distance. Only time we needed a cab was to get to airport and the staff helped us set that up. Bar upstairs was great place to end the evening. Waitstaff was super friendly and the drinks were good.

This Hostel is Upscale with a bar, breakfast dining, bike rental, super location, informative staff and many options for rooms. It could not have been better. We only had a very short time due to our schedules, but will return here again in the future. Things to know: they provide sheets, blankets, soap, shower gel/shampoo, had free shot at the bar and wonderful recommendations for dining & entertainment in the city. Even with all this activity - it was not loud at all. Very good nights sleep.

A- hostel. Highly recommended.

Very good hostel. Atmosphere and location are excellent. Beds are not so comfortable and the privacy curtains are almost worthless as the contain major gaps. Pretty easy to fix it they want to. Restaurant downstairs is fantastic, staff is great and the pool is a nice touch when it's warm outside.
