"The staff were soo friendly and helpful. My TV stopped working one evening and they fixed this really quickly, the staff were super approachable :) the breakfast was absolutely amazing, really delicious and a big variety of food available. There was no coffee machine/ kettle in the room but there was a hot drinks machine in the breakfast room. The shower was great, bed was comfy and room was spacious. Aircon worked really well too! Would recommend this property if coming to Zagreb, the location is great and I would definitely stay here again if I return :)"

10/10 Excellent
"Superb hotel and very well located ! Download the "moj Zet" bus app (which is easy and works very well), When you arrive at the airport, walk through the car park to the bus stop on the other side of the road, a bit to the left (there are two) and catch the 290 bus €0.53!) Get off at Veterinarski f. (which is one or two stops from the last one) and the hotel is a simple 10-15 min walk. Couldn't be easier. Inside it is cosy and welcoming. There is a bar / restaurant where the food is excellent - breakfast is well worth it ! Their beer tastes like its from a real brewery - not mass produced commercial stuff and was very good. The room was clean and tidy with a nice bathroom. The staff were local, polite and enthusiastic. All in all a very pleasant stay."
