Location is decent, which makes accessing all the central sights easy and provides well connections to the local transport.

Some rooms comprise a private bathroom. Guests staying in dormitory rooms have a shared bathroom with shower and a hairdryer at their disposal. Rooms come with electronic locks and each bed features a locker.

The hostel was just on the main square it was amazing, it was very clean. I had booked a bed in a 6-bed mixed dormitory but eventually they got me in a 4bed dormitory for free with only women. As a first time solo traveller it was really good for me. The bar was indeed very noisy but I couldn’t hear anything at the first floor, the most annoying thing was the tram but after a while you get used to it. The most important thing for me was the bathroom which was really clean, spacious and with hot water!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's a clean hostel where you can stay safely. It's within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in the city center. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Iresha helped us with every problem, she's very patient and does her job very well. I've stayed in a hostel many times before. But I can say that this hostel is the best. Thank you very much.

    The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, much nicer than many of the budget hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff were so incredibly helpful, especially a young girl with blonde hair working Saturday 17th august day shift. Unfortunately we didn’t catch her name but she honestly made our trip in Zagreb, she gave recommendations and helped us with transport!
